| - Merriam-Webster defines "Café" as follows... "A usually small and informal establishment serving various refreshments (as coffee)." Can you get coffee here? No. Well, to be honest, I have never asked for coffee, but who would at a Chinese... I mean...Asian restaurant. So this so called "Café" has no coffee. Is that a problem? No. First of all, they do have 2/3 of the definition correct. It is small, and informal. For me, that is close enough. I do have to say, though, that for an order-at-the-counter "Asian" restaurant, it is extremely clean and new inside. And the staff is extremely friendly. In fact, you can ask them about their food and they actually have an answer! Now friends, this is extremely peculiar for such a restaurant. This friendliness also lends itself to some flexibility when it comes to ordering. They will let you substitute meats, adjust heat of a dish, etc., without blinking and eye. And all this for dirt farm poor prices. The lunch specials are an insane bargain with all kinds of sides. And for dinner, although it is a bit more expensive, they load you up with tons of food.
But this begs the question you are all wondering. Is this "Café" at least "Asian?" Merriam-Webster defines "Asian" as follows..."Of, relating to, or characteristic of the continent of Asia or its people." So do they have Russian food here? No. Do they have Vegemite here? No. Do they even have Korean food or Japanese food? No. This is truly Chinese food, without question. And it is an outstanding example of Chinese cuisine. Everything is made to order, extremely fresh, and very light and authentic; sort of the anti-Panda Express. And considering this place will make your food just about as quickly, without having to wait in line with a bunch of mouth-breathing yahoos, I would highly recommend a visit to Asian Café, even if the name is completely and utterly misleading. And besides, the name still makes a lot more sense than Panda Express. I mean, can you eat Panda there? Do they have Pandas working in the kitchen? Do they have a Panda petting zoo in there somewhere? Would you want that where you eat anyway? I hear those things are dirty, ornery, and smelly.
