Wonderful chef... delightful owners, they give you a ton of food for a cheap price. Had Mongolian Beef and was very tender. Mini spring rolls were kind of flavorless...

I'm not the most discerning Chinese food fan. I mostly stick to mall food court Chinese. Other yelpers are probably better suited to review the actual authenticity and quality of the food. From my perspective, I enjoyed the sesame chicken. Food was very fresh. My family of 6 ordered just four lunch dishes and four fountain drinks and it was less than 30 bucks. Portions are humongous. Took almost half of everything home with us after everyone had eaten. Service was really fast (although we were the only ones in the place at 3pm on a Monday) You really can't go wrong eating here.

The absolute best. Sometimes you have to wait! But for the price and amount! Well worth the wait. I drive an hour just for the dumplings!

Food is pretty good for a small town. The price is excellent and they give you so much food! Two people can easily eat off one order.

Asian Taste Lee - Singapore fun .. Delis!!!

Asian Taste Lee

Possibly the worst "Chinese" food we've ever had, (and we've had a lot, being in an occupation that…read morehas literally taken us around the world.) The fried rice was more like tumeric colored long grain rice, vegetables colorless and limp, sauces thick and gummy, flavorless and portions far too generous as if the emphasis was on quantity, not quality. It seems the Yelp reviews we read before trying this place, were written years ago, perhaps when the restaurant had different owners or different chefs. Maybe poor choice of entre or maybe just an off night?

Ok. First of all I'd like to say I tried this place against my better judgement based off of…read morepretty good Yelp reviews. My mistake. Shame on me. The pictures on Yelp look tasty and inviting. The reality was....... We walk in. Me, my beautiful wife, two boys and our 8 month old. We stood there as a little Asian girl who couldn't have been older than 14 just stared at us painfully. After 5 min of silence I asked her if we could eat. She said yes and motioned to some paper take out menus by the register. So we ordered the house Lo mein and the kids got the sweet and sour chicken. We also got a few egg rolls. Drinks were purchased out of a cooler in soda can and plastic bottle form. We were still all standing. Mind you, this baby was gaining weight with every passing minute. Finally my wife asked if we could be seated. Again we were told yes, as the little girl disappeared to the back. So we found an empty table and I snooped around until I found a high chair. Food came out quickly. The egg rolls were not bad. They were delivered on small styrofoam plates that were melting from the heat of the egg roll. So at least they were fresh. Then we got our plastic flat ware rolled up in a paper towel. And our food was delivered on paper plates. Quantity was decent. Quality wasn't horrible. The Lo mein was good. The beef and chicken was also good. The shrimp didn't taste good. My kids told me their sweet and sour chicken sucked and their fried rice was dry. This was one of those times, I believed my children without hesitation. Atmosphere not so good. Now we did box up the leftovers. No one got sick. So I lost that bet. I did eat the noodles the next day for lunch and I have to admit they were better at my house. For take out. This might not be a bad spot. If you want to sit down with your family and enjoy a meal, not the place.

Island Pho & Bubble Tea - Pad see ew

I have eaten at hundreds of Asian restaurants in my life. This was absolutely the worst- bar none…read more Here is the recipe: steam vegetables for a few minutes until they are not steamed at all. Drop them in a can of coconut milk. Pair it with the cheapest quality of rice on the market (Uncle Ben?). Call it Panang curry. I had to throw it away, and for me to throw away food it must be absolutely stomach-turning. The young lady at the register had a slight accent, and in order to do pleasant small talk I asked her where she was from, having an accent myself. I thought we may be from the same country. She said she could not reveal private information. That was absolutely weird, also considering that customers receipts, including their signatures and how much they tipped, are pasted by the register. An absolute and far more serious violation of customers' privacy. But, if we stick to the food only, it's an absolutely must avoid. Minus 10 stars. That bad and worse.

Had a craving for Asian food on a late Sunday evening so decided to try this place. The place was…read moreslow with one other table with customers, We were greeted by our server and ordered promptly. We chose the Pad See Ew with pork and Basil Ground Pork and egg. The food came out piping hot and fresh. Both dishes were tasty and reasonably nice portions. The Pad See Ew did not have a lot of pork, however it was fresh and good flavor. I ordered medium spicy and it came out perfect. The Basil ground pork dish had a lot of green beans and not much of the basil flavor I expected but it was fresh and flavorful. I would probably hold the green beans next time but that's my preference. Overall, everything was very good and hit the spot. I would like to try some other dishes next visit. I would give it a strong 4.2 if I could rate in between 4 and 5. Also note our service was excellent and the server made numerous visits to check on us. Thanks

Drunken Noodle - Pork belly ramen noodles

Drunken Noodle was a really pleasant surprise. The restaurant itself was clean, comfortable, and…read moreinviting, with warm lighting, nice booth seating, and a casual atmosphere that felt relaxed but still well cared for. Service was great too, very attentive, kind, and genuinely welcoming throughout the meal. We started with the combo appetizer, and I'd absolutely recommend it if you're dining with a small group. It came with spring rolls, tempura shrimp, rangoons, chicken satay skewers, wontons, Thai dumplings, and a variety of sauces. For $22, the portion felt very fair, especially split between three people. Everything on the platter was good, but the chicken satay skewers were the standout for me. They were really flavorful and cooked nicely. For dinner, my parents both ordered the Grand Palace, which came with grilled steak, shrimp, and chicken in a garlic sauce with mixed vegetables and rice. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare, which honestly impressed me, and it was tender. The garlic sauce had great flavor without overpowering the proteins or vegetables. I went with the Shoyu Ramen, which had a tempura fried piece of chicken in a soy sauce broth. I can be a little particular about ramen because every restaurant approaches the broth differently, but this one worked really well for me. The broth was clear and light, but still rich with flavor. The noodles had the right bouncy texture and weren't overcooked, and I really liked the tiny shredded pieces of nori on top because they added a little extra depth to each bite. It's probably my second favorite ramen I've had dining out. Overall, not one thing we ordered missed. Between the clean dining room, kind service, generous appetizer, and flavorful entrées, Drunken Noodle is definitely a place I'd recommend in St. Mary's.
