Crab Rangoon - you get qty. 6 but I had already eaten 3 before I snapped the picture- yes they were very good

So this has always been our go to for Chinese for years but then about 6 months ago we went and it was not good and the menu seemed to change. Checked the reviews and others were getting the same vibes as us. We decided to take a break and give them some breathing room because we had heard that it changed owners. We decided to give it another try and oh my goodness it is wonderful again and then some. Just the best Chinese food around. It just can't be beat for quantity, flavor and freshness. Sooo good! I promise you if you are looking for good quality and authentic Chinese this is it. One thing I wish they could do is have pictures of the food beside the name of it so you can see what the dish looks like. When I order from there I will try and post pictures so you can see the items. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words especially for Chinese food!

Eggplant in Garlic Sauce

Great food and fast service. Short drive from I26. Very quiet dining room. I would like there to have been some music.

Crispy pork
Madi S.

A true hidden gem. Kinda wanted to keep this place to myself but it deserves all the praise. I recommend calling early to make sure they have bbq left, especially the crispy pork. It's only on certain days. It is absolutely delicious. The type of meal where no one says anything because the food is the main focus. Forget conversation, there's glorious roasted pork on the table. The ambiance is casual and comfortable. Nothing fancy, but this restaurant definitely serves the finest Chinese bbq in the area, arguably in the state. Also, the service is always superb. It's family owned and operated. Never had a bad experience!

Whole duck and Crispy pork prices
Dinaezha J.

We ordered a pound of crispy pork, a whole duck, and different kinds of sautéed veggies(green beans, bok choy & yu choy). Everything we ordered was juicy and moist. The crispy pork is so good that we ordered another pound before leaving! They are only taking to-go orders at the moment(5-28-22).

BBQ Pork on top and Roasted Duck at the bottom
Charley K.

Today was my first time trying out this restaurant. I've always driven by it but never tried it. I wish I had sooner because it was amazing! Got there close to opening time and we were greeted and served immediately. We ordered the lunch combos of the char siu (bbq pork) and the roasted duck. These dishes were a huge portion served with white rice and sautéed bok choy. The flavor was incredible and, literally, the best roasted duck I have ever had in my life. No lie! And I've eaten my fair share of roasted duck! The meat was flavorful, super tender, and the skin...mmmm... so crisp and juicy and kind of melts in your mouth! My go-to place in Charlotte, NC pales in comparison to this establishment! The prices are on the cheaper side compared to the portion and quality of the food -- pleasant surprise there. As far as ambiance, it's not a fancy date-night type of restaurant. It's a simple setup with either dine-in or carry out options. The best places are the "holes in the wall." Give it a try and see for yourself! I will definitely be going back, sooner than later too!!

"Half" Roasted Duck. (underneath the top, it was all neck bones ugh)
Kat D.

Ordered a half a duck and have never felt so ripped off for $16. It looked and tasted good but it was maybe one fifth meat.The rest was skin and neck bones. They basically just cut the neck area off the duck and said "here is half a duck." here is a tip: don't sell a half a bird if you cant sell an equitable HALF! Would not recommend and won't return. I don't leave bad reviews lightly. They probably assumed I was an idiot that didn't know any better

Meats

I've been on a Cantonese roast duck hunt since moving to Columbia, and I'll say the duck here is the best I've tried so far. The duck skin needs a bit more work, but the meat is tender as it should be. A lot of restaurants tend to boil, freeze, and reheat their duck, but that isn't the case here, which is a relief. I also got the roast pork, and that was on point. Crispy skin and tender meat. Service was fast too. I ordered takeout, so I can't comment much on the ambiance.

Food was run of the mill Chinese American offering with very little flavor. Service was ok, nothing special. I won't be returning.

Disappointing "beef pan fried noodles"--don't order. We received deep fried undercooked noodles instead. Pork was okay.

While we were in town everyone was recommending we check out this place. We had a party of 9 and…read morewhen we arrived the table was ready, the bartender (david) made a wonderful recommendation for wine and everyone enjoyed their dining choices. After seeing the quality of fish at the sushi bar while being seated, I knew sushi was all I would be ordering and I was not disappointed. The entire Chen Family was so nice and accommodating. We will be here the next time we find ourselves in SC.

My wife and I tried Antai Asian Dining for the first time on a Friday night, and we were seriously…read moreimpressed. From the moment we pulled up, the exterior set the tone -- very clean and inviting. Even with the Friday night rush, the hostess was warm and welcoming and got us seated quickly and efficiently, which we really appreciated. Our waitress was outstanding. She was attentive without being overbearing, checked on us consistently, and helped guide us through the menu with great recommendations. We started with the lobster spring rolls and a salmon roll. The spring rolls were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with large chunks of lobster -- not skimpy at all. The salmon roll was some of the freshest sushi I've had in a long time. For my entrée, I ordered the walnut shrimp. The shrimp were gigantic, perfectly cooked, and the sauce was so good I literally slapped the table. No shame. We will absolutely be back. If you're looking for great Asian fusion with excellent service and fresh ingredients, Antai delivers.

Antai Asian Dining - Great spot. Good food, attentive service. This will be a 'spot' for us when we're in the area.

I had a hankering for Chinese food but we don't have a good one that's close. I've heard good…read morethings about this place and figured I'd try it. Wow! It was really good! The place is not much to look at, but it is clean, and there are a few tables. I think 95% of their business is carryout or delivery. I normally don't like places with the pictures of the food above the counter but I rolled the dice and I ate there. The Sesame chicken is crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside and really flavorful! The egg roll was pretty good and the fried rice was really good. It was filling (I brought some home), but I didn't feel weighed down and it wasn't greasy and I didn't feel overwhelmed by sodium. I peeked in the kitchen and it looked pretty clean. Honestly this is probably better than 4 out 5. I will be back!

The girl was friendly enough. No problems there, for me at least. The problem was the food…read more I had the large size beef and broccoli. The prices in the pics have gone up a couple dollars, by the way. The portion size was on the small side. The steamed rice was of poor quality. The entre was oily and had a strong vinegar taste. Not good at all. I asked for extra spicy, which the cook failed to execute. Instead I was given something red in a tiny cup that failed to get the job done. Lastly, it pisses me off when I ask for a cup of water and get charged for bottled. $15 for a bad meal and I left still hungry. Won't be going back.
