Asian Palace - Columbia

Asian palace remains to be one of my favorite Asian spots in the area. I really enjoy the wide range of selections. For the first time, I had the drunken noodles here and was content with my order. It is slightly different from what I'm used to at a Thai restaurant in that it wasn't as spicy (though I requested medium spice), and it was missing basil. It reminded me of a cross between drunken noodles and Lo mein. It still hit the spot.I am forgetting the name but I had the hazelnut dessert afterwards. It was delicious! It wasn't too sweet and it was enough to satisfy my sweets craving.I just really love the prices here as well. It's always such a cost efficient place, with great food too.Service last night was a tad slower than I'm used to here, but could be because of a staffing shortage. Nonetheless, the staff were still friendly and efficient.

Ok I found it ...Best Happy Hour in Columbia, MDI have ordered take out before and it was good came here for HH.Staff is welcoming and attentive.Great choices, Great Drink Specials and food was good. A good valueWill come back and be a regular..lol

1.26.24The kitchen and our server moved at a snail like pace and the restaurant wasn't that busy. I definitely feel that they need more help. I dined here many years ago with my family and decided that since my hubby and I live in Columbia now that we would give it try. Unfortunately, it didn't impress us. Hubby ordered the chicken and steak hibachi with a side of fried rice while I ordered the aged tofu as an app and the sweet and sour chicken. My first annoyance is that the tofu came out after my entree. When our server brought out my entree I inquired about the tofu and she said the kitchen was busy. I personally think she forgot about it because she literally brought it right out after I asked. The sweet and sour chicken was mostly just batter. There was barely any chicken in it. It was my first time trying the aged tofu. It was definitely unique. Soft on the inside yet crisp on the outside. I have no idea how they prepared it. I was impressed and curious how they prepared it.Hubby said that his steak was chewy, which I concurred after trying a piece. The highlight for him was that the dressing on the salad which he thought was tasty.My husband said that he felt bad for our server because it seemed as though she was predominantly the only one taking orders. Although she did have help with delivering food and clearing tables. She did not stop by one time to check on us and I was literally waving my arms to get her attention to get the check and a few boxes. Meanwhile, I noticed that other tables received more attention than us.I was disappointed with our experience and won't be returning.

Delicious sushi lunch. I had eel avocado, shrimp tempura and salmon skin rolls. Will return again. Sarah is a wonderful waitress, attentive, pleasant and friendly.

Asian Palance, this was one of the rare times we ate in versus our routine take-out. Basically empty inside, we had quick attentive service- though we were dismayed when recieving the bill to discover some caveats to the happy hour we were unaware of when ordering- We ordered:Our go-to sushi pizza; it's the most unique delicious menu item. With crispy, crunchy crust- packed fluffy rice, topped w.ample sauce & roe, shredded salmon, crab, and tuna-everything was well distributed, hearty eats-While attempting to order the crystal roll, we found out they took it off the menu, except they would still make it for us- delightful surprise since I was craving the hearty chunks of thick salmon, with large chunks of crab meat & lemon, mango zest. Again, I didn't even use the sauce, I loved the base flavor so much- a very nice blended bite when eating other heavier sushi rollsCajun roll is one of my favorite rolls because the heartiness & spiciness. Though it doesn't have a 'cajun' flavor, the prominent bite was the wasabi, but absolutely delicious bold flavor & the heartiest fish combinationsWe also added on a salmon skin roll- warm, thick, well-seasoned skin-a heavier cooked roll, with delectable flavorAnother successful order- everything was made fresh, but I prefer ordering out because all of the din-in caveats to their specials.

I work close by and often get the lunch special. It's two rolls and a salad or soup. I always get salmon avocado, spicy tuna and house salad. It's always so delicious! And ready pretty quickly!

I grabbed two dishes to go and the dishes were Four Seasons and Sautéed Shrimp with Veggies. The dishes were roughly $14-15 a pop and they were not bad at all.Sautéed Shrimp: this dish came with lots of sautéed and seasoned veggies. There were a lot of argula, green onions, crunches (that you often find on top of crunch sushi), green and red peppers, and other bits. As for the shrimps themselves, there were an okay amount. The taste and texture were interesting. Every bite had a little bit of a weird but good combination of freshness and crunchiness. It's hard to explain the complex/weird/tasty sensation when eating the dish. Overall, the dish is probably a 4.5/5 because it's as delicious as it is a bit weird (in a good way).Four Seasons: this dish's meat included chicken, beef, shrimp, and scallop. To complement the four meats, the veggies were broccoli, mushroom, asparagus, and carrots. The sauce that went into the dish is that commonplace Chinese American food sauce that is abundantly found in most takeout restaurants as this. Overall, the taste was okay.The takeout process was good. I might just order another time if I'm in the mood for it!

Good, friendly service. Tasty food. Spring Rolls not so good, previously frozen probably

I like the option of noodles! This came with salad and miso soup. the chef did not remove that little muscle on the side of the scallop that gets very tough. I always remove it before cooking. The salad dressing seemed a bit watered down and not as good as other Asian restaurants. The scallops were just okay. Surprisingly, a few of them tasted quite fishy which is unusual for scallops. Veggies were nice and fresh with a good crunch.

Fabulous food. We got carry out and will again. Friendly and great service. Highly recommend. Treat yourself.
