While on business in Waltham, MA myself and my wife ventured this wonderful city. We came across Absolutely Asia. From the moment upon arrival the vibe was very unbidden. The server sat three feet away and stared at us the entire time. I got the sense they didn’t want us there, or just wanted us to “hurry up and buy” on top of that we were served expired refreshments. I would not recommend this establishment if you are ever in the area a very unpleasant experience !!

I recently dined at this restaurant that left much to be desired in terms of service and quality. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt unwelcoming, and the staff's demeanor was unfriendly. Throughout the meal, I couldn't shake the feeling of being watched, which made for a discomforting experience. To add insult to injury, when I ordered a bottle of ginger ale, I was served one that was clearly expired. This lack of attention to detail and disregard for customer satisfaction was disappointing, to say the least. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant to others based on my negative experience with the service and product quality.

Great food and generous cocktails. This is our go-to place when we want takeout.Definitely get there before your food is ready so you can enjoy one of their cocktails while you wait.
The owner refused to accept gift certificates that were 100% legitimate. Dishonest business owner, stay

I have eaten here in the past and it's average, food and service... Today DoorDash sent me there to pick up an order. I entered the restaurant and was told that there were no online orders being accepted by the owner. Okay, no problem I thought, but why did DoorDash not know this? During my time there two other delivery drivers came in and was told the same thing that was told to me, no online orders taken today. When I asked to see the manager or the owner it infuriated the person I was talking to! He then told me to get the "f" out. I don't know what his name is and he wouldn't give it but I gave him mine and told him because of his attitude I was going to do a yelp review and let others be aware of what they might have to deal with. I wish I had taken a photo of the man I dealt with but you know what they say about hindsight... Anyway I'm sure he was having a very bad day and I didn't make it any better for him.

Had a big party at work and ordered enough food for 100 people. Everyone enjoyed the food, no complaints! Very fresh and nice & warm! Great service, they went above and beyond! Excellent work! Saved our holiday party!

This restaurant is small .But has a fantastic welcoming atmosphere.And while not busyThe person at the counter is very kind.And the music playing helps with relaxing and enjoying the time while u dine in.Also I get free soup if u dine in. Either a hot and sour or eggdrop soup.
AA is a low-end three-star. Very no-frills decor -if you could call it decor -more like a sub shop. Bare bones interior. My One and I came here on a whim and were quite hangry. The menu was the usual: Moo Goo this and Kow Pang that... however, I did notice they had Whole Duck on the menu which seemed surprising for this no-frills place. We got two "My-Ties" which were served in tall glasses and had no garnish. They were strong though and that's what counts more than being pretty. Anyhoot, Moey got a lunch deal with Wings and Things and with Pork Fried Rice -or so it said. The PFR was janky, off-base AF and no bueno. Obviously however old and hard and not even barely warm and it was mostly cous-cous. That's right you heard me -cous-cous. Moey's main dish of Wings and Things were just OK. She got Fried Shrimp but sent 'em back because they were cold in the center. I mean cold -just carelessly reheated stuff. The dood made a new batch which were hot AF this time and quite munchable. She had Egg Drop Soup which was OK. I got Szchecuzwan Chicken which much like any Chinese American "cuisine" could be pretty much anything. You get what you get. It was pretty tasty and hot though and had the usual ambiguous Boob-Boom/Goo-Goo-type Brown Erotic Sauce. I had a Hot n' Sour Soup which was actually quite good (for a place like this) and I was surprised that it contained the proper woodear 'shrooms instead of the usual ghetto Pennsylvania 'shrooms that places are now using to save cost. Kudos here to AA for having proper 'shroomage. Speaking of AA, we headed up to the bar for a couple more libations and Moey and I got Zombies and Scorpion Bowls and again were strong and featured no garnish and were served in plain glasses. All in all -good for drinks here 'cause they're strong but I wouldn't really recommend the food -it's just meh to high-meh at best and nothing was made with much care or concern and it's a roulette when it comes to freshly prepared. The atmosphere here is zero vibe. The restroom area was what you'd expect... janky AF. 'Nuff said... it's food... you get what you get...
This was NOT a good experience!! The server was very intrusive, he gave us our utencils and plates n then came back to take them from us all without really even saying a word...Not to mention there was fecal matter on the restroom walls, Black chunks all thru our tea cups, and the staff wouldn't leave us to eat our food...The server stood at the table adjacent to us n STARED the entire meal...I will NEVER eat there again...

Can’t complain on taste. Food was good, but not the best I’ve ever had. However, the price is a bit much for the amount you get. This combo plate cost me $16 with tax. The Chinese spot near my house is $10, better flavor, and bigger portion size.

Great Chinese food wings were juicy and ribs were a little chewy but good. The vegetable fried rice was awesome and chicken fingers were great. But the egg drop soup was not for me. The waiter name Mario Puerto Rican man was very humble and friendly thank you for everything.
