Take out a full meal!

Oct 2021 • family

We did a take out which was ready when we arrived. In looking at the restaurant I was very impressed with the unique and well appointed setting including cozy seating and a beautiful water feature. Our meal was very good with outstanding wonton soup, egg rolls and mail dishes. Next time we will eat in.

Enjoyable Christmas dinner

Dec 2019 • couples

We were wanting to get out of the house, and after driving around decided to visit Asian Wind. We were seated quickly and drink orders taken and served. Service was courteous, but at least four different people came to the table. A few glitches in service happened to put a damper on the meal. Our bowls of rice were brought out several minutes before our actual meals so they were luke warm at best when we finally ate. My plate came out nearly 10 minutes before my wife's plate, so as well as cold rice I my food was not hot. Both servings were plentiful and the meat was moist, plenty to take home for later. The restaurant was busy but not overwhelmed when we were there. It looked like the big rush was beginning when we left. If service was as disorganized as it seemed, I'd hate to see what it looked like later. We'll most likely go again some time

Not Good

Sep 2024 • couples

We have been here many times but this restaurant is becoming less desirable. The fried noodles that are served first were very stale and must have been several days old. The sweet and sour chicken was 95% crust and essentially no chicken. Unlikely that we will be back.

Horrible food

Sep 2023 • family

Egg roll was small, overcooked and greasy. Noodles that came with soup were stale. The worst part was the sweet and sour pork. It came to table with pieces that were marble size and if breading was taken off the actual meat was size fingernail on little finger. No taste to it at all Have been going there since opening but has new ownership and is not the same. Noticed health inspection was an 85. Sad to say but would not return

Pickup

Apr 2022 • family

We would not recommend this place to anyone. We didn’t get part of our order but, the worst and most sick part. My grandson was eating his chicken lo main and a long black hair was wrapped around his noodles. After we saw that the whole meal got tossed. So we spent almost a $100.00 just to put food in the garage. We called the restaurant to tell them about our order. Lady acted like we was lying about not getting the orange chicken. Which wasn’t the worst of it. The hair was the biggest problem. She decided to credit back the orange chicken not being in the order and credited back the chicken lo main. But, had to explain we did not eat either order of the lo main. No one any any of the food after the hair found in the food. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

Cashew Chicken

Feb 2022 • couples

I’ve picked up food here all through the Pandemic; they have a smooth pickup process. The food is always good; a single serving is good for two — or even three — meals. We always get the crab Rangoon and spring rolls. This time I tried the Cashew Chicken, and like it. I would get it again.

We ordered 3 meals for take out, thinking that would be good for four people. It was! Perfect. Rice was great. Entrees were excellent. Food was ready when I arrived. Service staff at the counter was personable and efficient. Friends recommended Asian Wind and we were NOT disappointed.

RUN!!!

Dec 2023 • couples

The rudest experience in my 45 years on this planet. My wife and I stopped in around 1:00 PM and had the following experience. When we waited to be seated, there was a couple checking out who complained about being charged for items they didn't receive. Next we were seated next to a couple who barely touched their food. They left 75% of the food on their plates. We order and the menu didn't have DanDan Noodles one of my favorites there a couple of years ago. We order sesame chicken and General Tao's chicken. My wife goes to the restroom and reported that it smelled like raw sewage. I go to restroom and there is a black maker note on the wall about the urinal "Move Closer and put back in pants before stepping back". I come back to table and we were served cold egg rolls. The young waiter brings my food and the fried rice looked like it was prepared several days ago and reheated. I eat a couple pieces of the chicken and it wasn't bad. Several minutes pass and my wife still hasn't received any food. The waiter returns and without any explanation takes my plate. I look at him in surprise and he says "This is not your food. This is all white meat and for someone else." He starts to leave and I am I shocked. Why not let me have the dish and I will pay the difference in price. My suspicion is waiter was going to take it to another patron. I immediately asked or the check and got up. The waiter returns with an older man and who rang up my dish and two drinks... It was $19 for food that I didn't get to eat. Only explanation was the waiter was new. This is the rudest/ shrewdest service I have ever experienced. Do yourself a favor and skip this place. My prayer is I don't get sick from the egg rolls or the few bites of chicken. DO NOT EAT AT THIS PLACE! I WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS IF POSSIBLE.

Horrible Lack of Customer Experience

Apr 2024 • family

I searched for Asian Wind while I was sitting at the library nearby to check the menu for takeout. The page that came up clearly had "Asian Wind" at the top of the page. We ordered 'shrimp tempura with vegetables' under the House Specials tab. Four generations of our family had eaten there for 30+ years and our experience with the new owner's poor customer service was so dissatisfying we took time to write this review. When we called to inform that we didn't get what we ordered, the man claiming to be the 'owner' responded immediately that his restaurant doesn't serve shrimp tempura with vegetables. We explained how we'd ordered straight from Google search, which we've done COUNTLESS times, and it clearly listed it under Asian Wind--AND I'd asked specifically in our phoned-in order to the owner for the TEMPURA. The 'owner' continued arguing that his restaurant doesn't have that. On top of this fiasco, the shrimp and vegetables that we got instead of the shrimp tempura and vegetables that we ordered was extremely sugary sweet and not good. We have NEVER had an order from Asian Wind that was this bad. After I explained 3 times that I'd ordered straight from the menu via Google from Asian Wind, the owner requested that I text him the photos from my phone. I did, clearly showing ASIAN WIND at the top of the pix from the Google search. His text response, 2 HOURS after our order had been reported as incorrect-- instead of offering to correct the issue--was: "I don't know how you search for a restaurant. I have proved to you that we don't have the dish you need, and this restaurant has never had tempura shrimp for 30 years. We care about the feelings of every customer, but you need a dish that I don't have. I can't do anything about it. If you are dissatisfied with the dishes, you can take it back and I will refund you at the original price. As for what you said to give us a bad evaluation of the restaurant, it's your right. Have a good day" This 'owner's' customer service was nothing but argumentative versus helpful in satisfying customers. Despite his comment above, he is clearly completely UNinterested in satisfied customers. It is regrettable because our family has supported Asian Wind restaurant for SO many years. Frankly, this man seriously needs to learn better customer service --ESPECIALLY for people who have been loyal to Asian Wind for decades. No more. Since the service and the 'owner's' attitude were so pathetic and disrespectful and completely disregarded the customer's experience--AND the food was awful--we have closed the chapter on Asian Wind for our family. ***We sure miss the previous Owner George Wei, as we NEVER experienced such blatant and callous disregard for the customer experience.*** Goodbye Asian Wind. May you survive your current owner.

Raw chicken

Excellent quality, fantastic taste, and friendly service

Sep 2019 • none

We eat lunch here at least once per month, and it is consistently an excellent experience. This is the only Chinese food we've found in the area that serves white meat with no gristle or sinew. The portions are plentiful, we almost always take part of our entree home. The meat is done, but not overdone. The rice is tasty without too much soy. The sauces on the Genera Tso's and Orange chicken are to our liking, and my wife doesn't get a headache because there's no MSG. Bonus! We also like the strictly stir-fry entrees and enjoy their Won-Ton Soup immensely. Our experience is definitely different than some of the other posts.

Worst Chinese food I’ve ever had

May 2019 • none

The title says it all....this was the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. We were visiting from out of town and got some take out after a long day. I ordered the teriyaki chicken and after opening the box I discovered that it is more peppers and onions than chicken. What little chicken there was, was rubbery and bland and impossible to even cut with a fork. The “fried rice” that came with was equally bland and unimpressive. For the money, there is no value here and the lack of proper cooking and taste makes this place a big ole NO!
