Great food and great prices--honestly what more do you want? This place is practically on Auburn's…read morecampus and the portions are serious. Everything's served family-style (huge plates meant for sharing) which is exactly how I order for my family when we go. What you see on the menu is actually what you get, which is wild because most places don't even have photos of their real food. The quality is incredible and totally consistent. Staff is mostly college kids so it's hit or miss, but I've never had a bad experience yet. Only real gripe I have is the open kitchen gets a little smokey in the dining area. It fades quick, so it's not a dealbreaker or anything, but it's enough to drop a star in my opinion. Otherwise this place is solid--go hungry and grab something to share.

As I walked in, it was just like I remembered it, minus the plastic thing separating you from the cashier. It is still a little quiet place with tables and chairs if you're wanting to dine-in. I was greeted by the young man who was serving the tables and was asked whether I wanted to dine in or out. He was really nice. I went with old faithful and decided upon the Mongolian beef and lo mien, while I got my friend honey chicken and shrimp fried rice. I've never purchased fried rice from here, so I wasn't aware that you had to buy the shrimp separately to go into the rice. Shocker. However I still purchased them. I was told 20mins. So I walked over to Kroger to grab a few things. After about 19mins I went back inside and my food wasn't ready, which was fine. So I sat inside until it was. About 35/40mins later my food had finally come out of the kitchen. I was excited because it smelled AMAZING!! When I got it to the house it was stiiiilllll hot. I grabbed an egg roll and it was the best balance between crunchy and soft and fullll of meat and veggies. My Mongolian beef on the other hand was dried out. It was as if it had been sitting for that 40mins rather than being cooked. I only ate a small portion of lo mein, as it was also not good. It did not have any flavor to it at all. Even after adding salt and soy sauce it wasn't up to par. My friend however gave his food a 5/10. Needless to say, things have changed over the years and I was highly disappointed.

In the back, past packed fresh fruits and vegetables neatly organized and merchandised, is the restaurant. The restaurant has booths along the walls with tables down the middle. The ambiance is old, worn, and deep, with more than ample seating. We were here for lunch, and the service was quick and pleasant. The waitress was attentive and cheerful, but the restaurant was not busy. We ordered from the lunch menu, and my wife had hot and sour soup, fried rice with pecan chicken, and hot tea. I had the Mongolian Beef with the same side as my wife. The lunch special comes with egg rolls. The meal was filling and good. The lunch menu was ample with great dishes; the price was surprisingly low. The Taste of Asia is a hidden gem in an Asian market. We will be back to eat and shop.

The crab wontons are definitely missing the crab it's just fried cream cheese. Something to note also is that the small wonton soup is tiny!

The dumplings I had today (the only ones they have now) were not homemade, they were just typical generic any-Chinese-restaurant-anywhere dumplings. Don't know if I'll be back.
