Asian Eatery

This place is really close to where my work is currently located but I hadn't ever heard of it. A coworker wanted to eat here so we stopped by. I'm pleased to say everything was amazing!I loved the Thai Curry Shrimp Wontons but they aren't as shareable as I was expecting. I was thinking they'd be special dumplings but it was more like a dumpling soup. I really liked the Ma Po Tofu which was unexpected because I usually don't like tofu. But this tofu was super soft and decently flavorful. The Egg Drop Soup was very flavorful and doesn't have the weird aftertaste that some of them have. I wasn't as impressed with the Ma La chicken as I hoped so I wouldn't get that for myself again but everything else was delicious and I'd get it all again.The Vietnamese Coffee was really cool. It reminded me of one I'd read about recently in a book about Vietnamese restaurants. Surprise, I'm a nerd. It was cool to experience IRL something I'd just been reading about. The Thai Iced Tea though was not my thing. My friend who is into that specific type of tea said it was really good so please listen to her, not me since I am really weird about tea.

Seafood for 2 had 2 shrimp, a few onions and a ton of broth. What a disappointment. The lettuce wraps, I'm not sure what was in there other than chicken, it was mushy, looked like cat food. The summer fresh spring rolls were good and the chicken dumplings were pretty good, needs more filling, filling needs more flavor.

Another update. Things have changed, and not for the better.I still love the fact that kids work the front of the house. I'll probably keep going back because of this. It's still convenient, quick, and courteously staffed.What it's not anymore: that good or a gem of a value. The food has become more bland, the portions smaller. The soups are still very good, but everything else is rather ho-hum.That's a double whammy that justifies the 3 star knock. And to be sure, experience allows reflection. Asian Eatery, when I first gave it 4 then 5 now 2 stars should have been 3.5, 4, 2. The experience mentioned above? I've been eating East Meets West more often. Urban Fusion is better by a bit. New Asia, despite the revamp, is a solid go-to (the dim sum is very, very good- they do quality where Dim Sum King has quantity and variety).I haven't eaten inside in awhile, and that might have something to do with it. They opened the extension awhile back for a roomier feel. Same decor as it ever was. But, if the difference is that the food is better when one eats inside (and I live 5 minutes away), then the lack of flavor in an order to go isn't an excuse.

The service was quick, friendly and efficient. Food was Spectacular .. I had House Noodle Soup and it was delivered to my table hot and ready to eat. Delicious ... Ambiance was peaceful and dimmed light ... This is a winner in my book and a hidden treasure ... love it !!

My food was fast. Service was great. However, when I got back to work, I only had four pieces of wonton and only one had meat in it very disappointed. You may want to check your order before you leave the restaurant.

GREAT hot and sour soup...not too hot, not too much 'edge.' NICE sesame chicken, and we loved the vegetarian Buddhist Delight. Dumplings good.Service was prompt, polite, considerate. Prices are good, so long as you don't order a passel of appetizers, etc. (which, foolishly but delightedly, my wife and I always do).The crowd was thin at two o'clock yesterday (Saturday) afternoon. A mystery to me...I LOVE the ambiance of this place. warm colours, subdued lighting, yet casual and friendly. I come from a city with a very big Chinese population, with restaurants of many Chinese varieties all over town. Asian Eatery puts me in mind of the Chinese places friends and I used to visit in the seventies and eighties. The bar in the corner of the back room recalls a sixties martini-before-dinner vibe.In its way, 'Asian Eatery' is a dumb name--too plain. At the same time, it communicates the kind of unpretentious, simple goodness these folks seem to be about. It ain't "fine dining," but it's a great place to eat, sit, talk.

I like the food and service. The sesame chicken is delicious. The portions for take-home are a little bit small. The place is pretty nice too.

I was shocked by this place. It looks like nothing from the outside, but was actually really nice. They do have the crappy sweet and sour styrofoam chicken, but the soup & other chicken dishes were good. Service was kinda crappy, but it wasn't on the server. She was working her butt off, it's the lack of workers. The wonderful server was serving, hosting, and answering the phone while still doing a decent job. Just hire another person and let the server do what she does. Cheap on the owners part. Will be back for the egg drop for sure.

Ordered the Thai Basil , Let just say this Is this is so far away from Thai Basil , defiantly not even close to Thai food, I understand it's not a Thai restaurant but since you named it Thai Basil I figured it would be at least a little close to that according to the description on the menu , The quality was terrible basically cheap bottled sweet and sour sauce with some basil added to it , Absolutely low quality and disappointing . I don't understand how anyone could give this place a positive review.

Hubby wanted Thai food tonight, but we didn't want to trek to Bartlett or Cordova from Collierville. Also didn't want to pay the high prices of Bangkok Alley. We tried out Asian Eatery in Germantown and everything was delicious!! All was served hot and fresh, very flavorful and they had stuff the little kids liked too. At 7pm tonight there were only two tables occupied. Looks like they have lunch specials too. We'll be back to try more things.
