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 Singapore noodles were the best I've had in a while--charmingly flavorful with just the right bite. Sometimes the curry flavor is off but not here. The fried rice deserves a shout-out: not oversaturated with soy sauce, which I really appreciated. Crispy pork belly was excellent--crisp edges and juicy interior done right. Family style portions. Overall impression: This place deserves to be rated higher. It's as good as the spots in my Chinatown back in Houston (iykyk for sure). We'll definitely be back before we leave town, because I want to try the dim sum. Worth noting: Consistency in flavor across dishes stood out--well-seasoned, balanced, and satisfying. I appreciated them giving me a box to put all my food in to go.

I ordered duck fried noodles and it was $16 but the amount of duck that was provided was completely inadequate. Literally, the amount of duck was less than a leg. I also ordered roasted pork fried rice, and again, there was hardly any meat! I was totally disappointed! The taste of both entrees was very lackluster, in my opinion! The service was descent and there was were no complaints, but it was not stellar either. The restaurant was nice & clean, I liked that there's a full view for patrons to see the food being prepared. I hope that they'll improve on the flavor and the amount of meat placed in the dishes because currently, it's unacceptable!

I was lucky if there was 3 oz. of chicken on my plate, paper thin sliced, with lots of bell peppers, rice and bamboo shoots. It had a unique spice in the dish that was different. My cup of Hot & Sour soup had some thin metal wire in it. Weird. I think something has changed in the kitchen. The decor is the same as 15-20 years ago when I first ate at the restaurant.

I also liked that the boba drinks let you choose different sweetness levels because I'm definitely not a super-sweet drink person. The of the meal was hands down the soup dumplings! Those were easily the best thing I tried and definitely what I'd come back for. Everything else I ordered was just okay -- nothing bad, but the soup dumplings were the clear standout. My only real issue was the wait for my drink. I received ALL of my food before my boba finally came out, and it took quite a while. Overall, I'd come back for those soup dumplings and maybe try a few different menu items next time.

My family and I decided to order to go this time and we were so displeased. The egg fu yung was full of more onions than egg, the shrimp fried rice had WAY less shrimp than previous ones and the combination platter was disappointing. Due to improper packaging, the prawns and egg rolls were soggy from the teriyaki sauce that was for another appetizer. I forgot the name of the young man I spoke with when I called (2/21 @ 6:06pm), but he was rude and condescending. I no longer live in Macon but my family and friends do. I have and will continue to share this negative experience with them. Getting bad food is understandable, maybe it was an off day. I did not call to request a refund, I was merely calling to express concern. Being rude and nonchalant is not the way to retain customers. Do better Mandarin Garden!

Restaurant-style Japanese ramen is a very different creature than the dried stuff you get for…read more30¢/pack and boil at home. Unfortunately, Mizu Ramen resembles the latter. Tonkotsu ramen's basic flavor profile is fat, salt, and (in the case of black tonkotsu) garlic. It is an incredibly rich, salty, and filling dish. The broth should be creamy as a result of all the fat, collagen, and gelatin extracted by cooking pork bones for over a long period. Mizu Ramen is none of these things. It is a thin, watery dish devoid of flavor. Either the base of the soup was not cooked long enough, or they're cheaped out on the amount of bones used. I found myself pouring soy sauce into it just to make it somewhat salty. You don't even get a shaker of furikake or some vinegar for the table! While Mizu avoids a 1 star rating on account of the fact that it's not disgusting and the service isn't bad per se, I cannot recommend it as a much better ramen chain, UMAMI, is only 7 minutes away.

To start off, as a Korean person, I don't consider this place an authentic Korean restaurant but…read moreI'm not entirely surprised by how it tasted. I got the kimchi fried rice, soon dubu (soft tofu) soup, kalbi and bulgogi dinner set and ttukbaegi. The only dish that tasted authentic was the soon dubu, and I got the highest spicy level 5 and it wasn't that spicy. (I assume that a Korean person started this restaurant but probably sold it to a non Korean person.) The kimchi fried rice was huge in portion but not exactly what I expected it to taste like. The key ingredient in kimchi fried rice is the kimchi and it has to be aged kimchi for it to taste good. The kalbi & bulgogi set was alright, the bulgogi was a bit bland but the kalbi was good! If the food wasn't good here, I hope that you aren't disappointed by Korean cuisine! I appreciate the effort behind the food but I wanted to note that it doesn't taste authentic. Also it seemed like a lot of people take food to go or have ordered online for delivery because we were the only ones who ate in store.

Although I…read morecannot recall the names of specific items I ate, I will tell you why I have never gone back since. Firstly, I thought the place looked cute from the outside and had a nice sign and theming. The inside was okay, but not very clean considering no one else was there. It also had a very fishy smell throughout the entire restaurant, which was my first bad sign. I ended up trying an appetizer and 3-4 different sushi rolls. Awful quality. All of the fish tasted old and somewhat chewy. I also tried a cooked roll where there was some sort of meat on it, and it was one of the worst things I have ever ordered. It genuinely tasted rotten. I also tried a roll with pineapple and vegetables in it, nothing mixed. All of the food was unappetizing, and the wait for it was very long since no one else was there. As I said, I have never returned for the 1-2 years that this place has remained open.
