Fu Manchu and Bruce Lee and Formosa and Xanadu and The Kama Sutra all came from Asia. Asia is foreign and mysterious and amazing. Nothing about this place is exciting. This is Chinese American food via American Industrialism. You can go to any college town and find a restaurant exactly like this. This isn't not going to be what you expect.
The portions used to be larger.
There used to be less flies in the takeout area.
I swear it was cleaner when I was in undergrad.
The crab rangoon is expensive. I kinda respect them for overcharging college students for this.
Fugu and Shabu Shabu are both within a block. Both serve better Chinese American food. They both also serve Szechuan. They also both have hot pot. One is pretty and the other is weird. Both are more interesting than Asian Kitchen.
Step up your game, Asian Kitchen. You used to be kinda punk rock. But now you're just old and boring.
