Being new to the Tappahannock area, we looked for a Chinese restaurant and found the Asia Cafe. We've tried several different dishes, the Singapore rice noodles which had no curry, just ginger, and the General Tso's chicken which they make with only dark meat, the boneless ribs appetizer, which were scraps of pork in a heavy sweet sauce, the teriyaki chicken appetizer which was very bland, shrimp rolls, Szechuan shrimp and vegetable fried rice over a period of four visits. The only items remotely edible enough to reorder are the shrimp rolls and the vegetable fried rice. We were hoping to find something they do well, so I thought I'd try General Tso's chicken with white meat and see if it was any better. When I asked for all white meat, I was told it was an additional charge, which is odd since dark meat and white meat cost about the same these days. Oddly, there was NO MEAT IN THE DISH, I mean NONE. They had instead FRIED PIECES OF DOUGHAND COVERED IT WITH SAUCE. That's such a RIP OFF and having eaten a couple of pieces it gave me issues all night. I will tell everyone in town about this and to avoid this restaurant! Hopefully they will go out of business and someone that knows how to prepare oriental food will take their place. We will NEVER GO THERE AGAIN.

This is our go-to for Chinese takeout. We've been ordering there for years. The food is always really good, fresh and hot. Decent prices. Easy to order online but you pay in person. Don't be dissuaded by its appearance. It's not the prettiest little takeout spot. But it's all about the food.

I love this place for a fast take-out!

Super tasty food, good prices. I went cause it came up when I googled for sushi but I don't think they offer it. It wasn't on the menu. The ambiance was... well, terrible. But it kinda added to the charm, if you will.

Best $5.00 I've spent. Gen.tso was ? and fresh in less than 10 minutes. Delishishness! Beat that mickeyD's
No words can explain the look on my face when I went to pic up my order. Dirty is all I can say.

I ordered the General Tso's lunch and they used reused sauce to marinate the fried chicken bites. Once the cook was done, he glanced at me, then emptied my General Tso's of its sauce(reused nasty). The food came with fried rice and an egg roll. It was nasty! You get what you pay for! Just raise the prices and offer better cusine guys! You are good cooks! You have the skill! (Or was it because I was hei laowai?)

The food was excellent and priced below the other Chinese restaurant I go to. My only problem was the number of unmasked people in a very small space. I waited outside.
