    a restaurant counter with menus on the wall
    Ron W.

    Under the definition hole in the wall, there would be a picture of China Cary in the dictionary! Located in the same run-down strip plaza as Cozzolinos, China Cary is as dreary on the inside as it is on the outside. Definitely low-rent district but how does their food stand up? The place is small inside, maybe four tables so think TAKE-OUT! I ordered up a special of shrimp and chicken with lo mein for about $8. Ten minutes later and voila, a plastic (and heavy container) along with a small egg roll and fortune cookie. Back in the office I crack open the container and there is a nice portion of oily noodles, broccoli, chicken and shrimp. The taste was decent, not overly salty and the chicken was tender and well-cooked. The main drawback to the dish was oil, a bit heavy handed and tough on the stomach. So as much as I thought the food was cooked decently, the portion size was above-average, I'd only give China Cary 2 1/2 stars based on one meal. But I'll be back to see what this place can really do...

    General tso chicken is notated as spice. No spice flakes barely flavorful. Tasted different (not in a good way) from others I've tasted.

    China Cary is okay for what it is - a hole in the wall Chinese takeout. It's close to us and we've always found the food to be adequate.

She asked where we would feel most comfortable sitting! The restaurant is situated in an adorable little house! There were a few small rooms indoors and two diff outdoor areas! We chose to try indoors to begin with! I had already called in advance cause I have a pretty severe allergy I needed to make sure they could change things and accommodate for! They were more than happy to be able to do so as everything is made per order! My aunt knows I love a good sangria and wherever we go she always inquires immediately if they have it! They didn't BUT Zoe came right back over, asked how I like my sangria and with what type of wine and said they could make me one! Shortly thereafter we had met Han, the manager, what a delightful and respectable manager who knows how to handle any and all situations! We had now decided we would like to sit outside even tho it was very hot out! She said let me get your things and she then said how about this little private room indoors as she wanted us most comfortable! Even tho my puppy is a service animal the only other couple in that room made a stink immediately and I said let's just go sit outside under the fans and on the deck! Han brought everything out asked about drinks as I had decided to cancel mine but on second thought decided I'd have one! She asked if I like it on the sweeter side etc! Not only was it delicious but the waitress upon bringing it over let me know immediately it was on the house! The food wasn't rushed but came in a very nice and timely manner and with beautiful presentations and the taste of everthing from our appetizers to our mains was of the highest quality! Zoe, Han and even the person who poured our water were the nicest as was the other couple sitting on the patio with us! Overall I'd give MCAsian Cuisine a five star rating and can't wait to return on my next trip to see my Aunt and I know she can't wait to return even before then! Thank you Han, Zoe and everyone at MCAsian! You have set the bar high!

    The best bowls of ramen leave you feeling healed... and the Tofu Curry Ramen from Noodle Boulevard…read moredefinitely did that for me. It's tough out here being a vegetarian who loves authentic ramen haha, but this was amazing. All the toppings (tofu, bok choy, bean sprouts, fried onion, sour pickle, green onions, fried wontons) were great- the sour pickle was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. The broth had an amazing depth of flavor- definitely curry, but not overwhelmingly so with a hint of refreshing lemongrass (it was also very light and smooth). The noodles were springy and got well-coated with broth. You get to choose your spice level, which is nice. This spot was packed on a weekday night, which was a good indication. Ambiance is casual. Service was fast and friendly, although I'd have appreciated being made aware of a substitution charge for my mom's ramen. Good amount of parking. 9.5/10 would recommend!

The short rib ramen was good, but the noodles were short, like they were cut or made short on purpose. The shrimp shumai was disappointing. Small bite sized portions, but they were soft. After cutting into one, I found out that they use rice as a filler with a bit of shrimp. I've never seen rice used in shumai, unless it's Shanghai sticky rice shumai. Also got a unagi don togo, it was good, just a bit small on the portion of eel, but it's hard to mess up an unagi don.

A nice perk of this spot is that it's just a stone's throw away from free and plentiful lot parking. I'd make a reservation if you plan to come here on a weekend for dinner. The place was bustling, with almost all the tables full. It's bright, airy and modern looking inside. Which makes it the perfect place for a date night or celebration spot. At the same time, it's not stuffy or overly fancy. The menu is comprehensive with Thai favorites like Pad Thai and Pad See Ew with a large number of Japanese and Sushi items on the back. My friends tried the Thai Spicy level and I will say it was pleasantly hot without burning your tongue off. I ordered the bento box and was really happy with the quality of the sashimi and nigiri. Everything was tasty, and the portions were more than satisfying. If I had to make a nit on something that I didn't love (it's hard!), I'd say that the rice texture wasn't my favorite. It was a little dry. But other than that, I would definitely consider it for another night out.

So, of course, I ordered one. A minute or two later, it was in front of me - a goblet filled to the salty brim with a well balanced blend of tequila, lime juice, triple sec and ice. Everyone else at the table followed suit, but the service wasn't so instant. More on this later. We were a group of 9, with reservations. The table was nicely located and not off in a corner. There were 2- and 4-tops all around us. Another long table, this one bar height, butted the end of our regular height table. The servers soon separated them for easier access. Goji y Agave is the product of a partnership between a Mexican chef and an Asian one. There are two menus for food, but you can mix and match between them. Several of us ordered a little from each. Few of us could finish our entrees, the portions were so plentiful! An early snag was placing an order for nine drinks at once - the bar was overloaded, and the servers couldn't get them out together. This created a bottleneck where we could see them on the bar, but could not get to them. Folks were thirsty! This repeated when bringing out food. Once the food arrived, it was amazing, but it was a long wait getting all the orders for a large party together and out at once. Fortunately, it was early on a non-weekend night. Sadly, things were still delayed. But I still recommend going, just maybe don't take the whole gang at once!

The suyu trio was nice too, probably our third favorite then the creamy yellowtail one with the eel roll dead last. I believe it was the Beverly eels. The imitation crab on top is a bizarre choice and doesn't really go together. I think it was this one that also had a bit of bone that got between my teeth which I didn't love. Normally the eel bones are edible and pretty soft but this one had a pretty hard one in the bunch. Skip that one for sure. This restaurant is a winner. Highly recommend!
