| - It pains me to give only 3 stars here. I went to Asian Dining (also called Asian Lee) to pick up a meal shortly before closing. During my visit I had a chance to speak with the owner. He was extremely nice and a joy to talk to. I could tell he greatly cares about his restaurant. He wants to serve good food and treat his customers well. He has good intentions. He also mentioned that business was slow. Honestly, I can understand why. I am writing this review honestly and in the hopes that the owner will read this review and understand that his restaurant will not survive the way it is going.
While the service at Asian Dining was excellent, the food was average at best. I had mediocre General Tso's Chicken and Lo Mein. The rice was average to below-average. The value was less than stellar. There really wasn't much to like about this place. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't impressive in the slightest. In today's competitive market, an average, forgettable eating establishment like Asian Dining simply won't cut it.
You can come here for some decent Americanized-Chinese food. It will be decent, nothing better, nothing worse. If you live in the immediate area, and it's convenient for you, sure, go to Asian Dining; you could do a lot worse. If you've never been here and it's out of your way, don't bother - you really aren't missing out on much,
I really don't have much else to say here. The owner is really nice, but the food is mediocre. You can have all the service and passion in the world, but if your end product is bland, unexciting and forgettable, well, I can only rate you so high. 3 stars is the fair rating here.
And if the owner happens to stumble upon this review, please understand that you will not stay in business unless you improve the quality of your food. It needs to be delicious. You need to make me want to come back for me. You need to make your Chinese food tastier and simply irresistible. Right now, it's run-of-the-mill. I wish you the best, but run-of-the-mill doesn't cut it. In 2017 you can do a lot better. I'll leave it at that.
