Decided to try this place because I was craving some chinese and bought into being one of the top 100 chinese restaurants in america (they have a huge banner advertising this fact when you drive by, you cant miss it). I ordered the sake chicken and beef. Never had it before so I assumed the fact that it was cold in the middle and looked raw was the way it was suppose to be served. Boy was I wrong, the next morning I woke up with horrible diarrhea and I felt like my I had broken glass in my stomach. I ended up going to the ER with what they believed to be food poisoning. On a side note, the food wasnt that good and it was expensive (as in were top 100 in america so we can charge you more to eat our average food). This happened in March 2010.

Yes, the food was good, but the service was offensive. We are an inter-racial couple with two young children, we were seated on the last table in the back when there were many tables open, then tables kept getting filled and those peoples food came out fast as we sat there for an hour waiting. I thought they put us in the back because of the kids, but other people (not of color) came in with younger children and they were sat up front!! When we complained there was no apology from management, the waitress apologized many times and said "I told my manager a couple times about your food." We were then assigned a different waitress. Well never ever go again, they are ratially challenged!!!!

I went there two days in a row around Chinese New Year. The first time there was just two of us and I got the Braised Lions Head (not real loin unfortunately) and my friend got some other dish on the menu. Both were incredibly good. When a friend of mine, who is originally from China, suggested going there the next night, we said sure. That night we got a selection of items both on and off the menu and shared the 3 dishes. Both times (with and without a Chinese guide) we had excellent service and the food quality was outstanding. I felt the prices were in line with the quality and quantity given.

I have been away from China for about 4 years, it is the only place make me feel I am not that far away from home around Lehigh valley. There are a lot of real Chinese food, not the American style Chinese food. And the other important thing for me is the environment in the restaurant is very good and very clean. Around $20 per people, it is even affordable for the students like is. We will absolutely go there later. Thank you for giving us such awesome Chinese food, not only for our stomach but also cure our homesick. Try it and you will love it!

The General TSOs Chicken was out of this world. The service was impeccable, we never had to look for our waitress for anything it was always right there... refills, follow up after dishes were served. May was wonderful as well. We love Chinese food and have eaten at many places across the country. Asia Oriental came recommended and it lived up to its advanced billing!

After a bit of a wait (my table was in a corner and I was dining alone), my server took my order from the second menu with Asian specialties. My beef chow fun came from the kitchen soon after and was well-prepared. Im pulling a star from my original five because of the lack of attention from serving staff during and at the end of the meal.

My husband and I have been to Asia several times, and we have always enjoyed the food and experience. The lettuce cups are amazing! The service has always been wonderful! The waiters and waitresses are always very attentive and they seem to be happy every time we go there. Its a very pleasant dining experience.

Simply the best, truly authentic Chinese food in the Lehigh Valley. All of the usual Americanized favorites are done very well. Their "traditional Chinese" menu is full of wonderful dishes you would drive 50 miles to find anywhere else. Everything is fresh made, uniquely flavored. Its a real gem. Come hungry.

This place has great food and I order often but I went in to kill time before the bus comes and warm up and have some hot tea and my wife and I were turned away because it was stated to us this is not a coffee house. After all the times I have eaten here and enjoyed my food I am now disgruntled because of this.

I ordered and picked it up. After the reviews I read I thought the food was going to be spectacular, it was good but not enough yo rant and rave about. I ordered chicken and broccoli; better than most, curry coconut beef; didnt care much for it and ginger honey chicken; very similar to sesame chicken.

i ordered fried rice. it was very salty. price definately different than what i saw in there menus in this web site. i paid 12 dollars for a pork fried rice which you can easily find in other chinese restaurants for 6-7dollars of that kind of taste. Not recommended!!

A former coworker recommended this restaurant and Im glad he did! The food is amazing! Ive been there 3x and time the food is delicious. The hospitality is exceptional and have been encouraged to try something new from the menu each time. I love this place

I order take-out from ASIA often since I live nearby. The food is great and service is always timely and polite. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good asian cuisine at a reasonable price!

One of two good Chinese places in town. The other is Red Hot in Allentown. Asia has more variety and if you go with a native speaker, they have a lot of good dishes that dont make the typical American Chinese lists.

This was a great experience. Wonderful cuisine and service but nothing pretentious. The Vietnamese Summer Rolls with cilantro and basil dipping sauce was fan-tas-tic. Go: enjoy!

Joe Lemelin

Everything here is delicious. The fried noodles and duck sauce both taste very fresh, and the dumplings are extraordinary. This is still the best Asian cuisine in the area.

I love it! It is definitely the best Asian Restaurant I ever have. Special for the real Chinese Chinese dish - spicy and hot boiled beef and Hongkong Style fish.

Michael Almonti

Always great food. A little pricier than the average chinese take out but the quality of food is definitely worth it. Id recommend it for sure.

the sesami chicken was hard and chewy, and wasnt to my liking, the prices were high and the food i thought not on par with the prices

Great General Tsos chicken (DONT GET IT XTRA SPICY!, ruins the flavor contrasts.) Curry beef triangles are excellent to start with.

Crystal Scattareggia

Not impressed. Even the dine in entrees seemed like typical Chinese take out. . May possibly try it one more time but doubtful.

Daniel Frey

The best Asian restaurant around. Great selections from various Asian cultures. Try the Chinese Kim chi out the lettuce cups.

Love this place. Arelenes eggplant is so delicious! The chicken lettuce cups are the best. Great service and atmosphere.
