When I started this blog, my sister asked me if, when I reviewed restaurants, would I "talk about the bad as well as the good?" I think the following answers that question.
It's a sad, but true tale I have to relate to my foodie friends...I broke my cardinal rule...I bought takeout at place I'd never been before...and I paid the price. I was rushing home to my pup...who had been alone all day...so I thought "Hmmmm, I've seen a busy parking lot at Asia (on Central in Columbia Hgts) several times. How bad can it be?" All those cars can't be wrong!
Where do I start?
Limp, grease sodden, more cabbage than the stated "pork and shrimp" egg roll...think akin to generic canned dog food! Cream cheese puffs...chewy, tepid and blah at best...gummy, old oil tasting at worst. And the Sweet & Sour Pork...pork, pah! Mystery meat. Army C rations would be preferable. The sauce (?) had pale pink lumps masquerading as tomatoes...bullet-like green peppers and 3 canned pineapple bits in neon pink paste. Yum.
The pork fried rice was the color of scorched earth after a fire...randomly deep brown with unknown additions. Shudder. I'm not guessing. The compost pile will have a workout the next few days. So, I've learned my lesson. And hopefully saved my friends! At ALL cost...avoid "Asia" on Central. You have been warned!
Note: Asia's parking lot is still busy on a regular basis when I drive by. I'm beginning to think it is over-flow lot for Walgreens across the street. That many people cannot be willingly eating (?) at Asia...really.
