Asian Corner Cafe

Wow: If I could leave a one-word review, that would sum it up. Used Yelp to find something quick in the SE Valley and what a gem this place is. I ate with a friend whose wife is of Asian descent and he also gave the food two thumbs up! It is a small, quiet location with a few tables inside. The service was fast, portions plentiful and the flavors bold!

In all honesty, we were a bit let down. Nothing was terrible, we've definitely had worse. But, considering the hundreds of rave reviews and recommendations, I feel like Asian Corner Cafe is overhyped.The atmosphere is fine. Nothing much going on. Definitely on the nicer/cleaner side for a Chinese Restaurant. Not a hole in the wall type place. Our server wasn't the best. He wasn't mean or anything but he was unhelpful and rushed us. We started with the Potato Wrapped Shrimp. They were pretty bland, but with the sweet & sour sauce provided they were nice and crunchy. My Mom got the Hibachi Chicken Udon, I tried a bite and it was just okay. She thought the chicken was pretty bad, but the noodles were nice and chewy. I ordered the Pad Thai, which wasn't very good. It was soupy, the noodles didn't taste right, and the egg was full on scrambled, like someone just threw it on top. Once again, the chicken was just plain gross. It's that type where it's fatty and doesn't actually taste like chicken. I won't be back anytime soon. Like I said, not the worst we've had, but not worth the 25 minute drive for us.

Well... I was going to try ramen hood for lunch but I read reviews and saw someone said it was $17.50 for a bowl so I said maybe I'll pass. Then I saw sign from corner of my eyes that said Asian corner café.. .. So i looked up the menu and reviews so I decided to give it a try. Their new Thai chilli wings looked good.. And I can always go for bowl of Pho.. So I decided to go.Restaurant was nice and clean and staff was pretty friendly.. I looked at the menu and saw that it was Thai, Chinese, and Vietnamese.. I was thinking, well.. It's going to be really good or it's going to suck, considering the multi cultural dishes.Ordered the Thai chilli chicken wings and spicy beef Pho.. Of course my Pho came out first.. I looked at the broth and noticed it literally had like table spoon of chilli sauce in the bowl. Tasted the broth and I was purely disappointed.. It wasn't spicy and the broth was very mediocre. It was missing some spicy for being a Pho broth. I felt like this broth was base broth for their Pho and Tom yum and what ever other soup dish they have. Oh not to mention server brought me fork. I'm like wth.. Who brings Asian guy ordering Pho a fork... So my wings came half way through my bowl. I looked at the wings and I'm like well.. Inflation up chicken wing size down. Sooooooo tiny. Pho had decent amount of noodles which was good. But over all it was probably one of the worse one I've had. I mean I can only blame myself.. It's like going to a Mexican restaurant and complaining their Kung pao chicken sucks. Then to my tiny tiny wings. What a pure disappointmentent also.. It was nice and crispy right out of thr fryer. I don't know why they call it Thai chilli.. Only thing I tasted was salt.. It was salty salty salty. No heat or chilli flavor at all.. Dipping it in the sweet chilli sauce made it little better.$27 later I left there full and unhappy.. I definitely won't come here and try the other dish.

We've wanted to stop in here for a long time and finally took the plunge. Take out was pretty fast but I was somewhat disappointed in the food quality. Chicken and broccoli was pretty good but didn't have much of a sauce. The chicken fried rice was also very dry. I did like the egg rolls and wantons but overall all it was a little underwhelming.

Fusion food often fall into the "Jack of all trades" syndrome. Asian Corner food is good but it's not masterful. When I go back, and I will, I'll stick with Pho. I love Pho. And there's is good. They held it too long before serving and so all the beef was completed cook and starting to curl up. But it was still tasty.We ordered Thai Basil chicken. I know I'm fairly new to the Phx Asian food scene but I found sliced sautéed jalapeños distracting. Also I expect to taste/see basil in my basil chicken. I will not order that again.But the fun item was the Shoyu egg...eggs soaked in Soy. They yolk is creamy and delish. The whites turned brown from the soy. Yum!Service was good for awhile and then we were forgotten. It is a small, and appears to be a family run place. I understand not having a full staff.Overall I think Asian Corner was ok. I wasn't bedazzled. I thought the dishes were a few dollars over priced/plate for the quality. But there was flavor there. I will be back for the egg and the pho.

I came here for a weekday lunch with my mom and we both got one of their lunch specials. I feel like lunch specials are usually supposed to be quite a bit cheaper than normal menus, but it was still kinda pricey for a restaurant that is not really upscale at all.I ordered the shrimp with lobster sauce while my mother got the hunan tofu with eggplant. Each lunch special also comes with white (or brown) rice and a vegetable egg roll. My shrimp with lobster sauce taste-wise was pretty good but only had maybe 5 very small shrimps and then just piled with onions and peppers. I tried my moms dish and didn't think it was particularly great as the tofu and eggplant were honestly kinda bland and not spicy at all. Overall, each of our lunch specials were like $15-16 which I think is expensive coming from a hole in the wall kinda Chinese restaurant as a lot of other Asian restaurants in the area have lunch specials that are less than $12 with twice the amount of food. Although the food was fine, I'm not sure if I'd come back because I think the value is just not there.

I had an absolutely delightful experience at Asian Corner Cafe! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive.The menu offered a fantastic variety of Asian dishes, and everything I tried was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The Pad Thai was a standout, with the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors.The service was prompt, and the waitstaff was knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations based on my preferences. Moreover, the portion sizes were generous, ensuring that I left feeling satisfied and content.

Foodie Fact: 45 billion pairs of chopsticks are used in China annually. That's a lot of sticks!I've had this place bookmarked for a minute so we finally decide to pop in after the gym. Did I eat back my calories? No way --- I ate back even more. Haha!What was ordered: Corn & Cream Soup, Hot & Sour Soup, Orange Chicken, Salt and Pepper Pork Chop, and Asian Curry Hash Browns. Both the soups were great. Good consistency, great flavor, and oh so warming for the tum tum. I really enjoyed their orange chicken as well. It's not super saucy which I appreciated as it tends to make the deep-friend chicken soggy. As for the salt and pepper pork chop, it was good! I never had it where the pork chop pieces are fully battered but I can appreciate it. I prefer the dry-dredge in flour style more though. As for the Asian Curry Hash Browns, if you're a fan of croquettes, you'll love these! I'm a fan so I loved them. Yum!So yeah, Asian Corner Cafe is good! It's my first or second place for Chinese takeout style cuisine.

Asian corner always serves fresh vegetables and meats. On ordering I never have any problems with the customer service person understanding me. They always get my order right. And, they give me a time to pick it up which is pretty accurate anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes depending on how business is. Parking is always available for easy pickup. The food that Asian corner provides are for those who like authentic Chinese food.

Although 12 miles from home, our family has ordered from Asian Corner for several years. We each have our preferred dishes, and we have eventually shared most everything on the menu. We're all happy and that's why we go back
