This place smelled a little too fishy to me. I went with a group of co-workers and the service could have been more attentive. I ordered a veggie soup, because the fishy smell began to make my stomach turn. In spite of the smell and subpar service, the soup was not bad.
I've had sushi at Cafe Asia twice and it smells and tastes funky. The curry laksa is good, but the pad thai is a sad, bland version of the real thing. I can't understand why this place is so popular.
From now on, we try to avoid the waitress that was rude to us by not sitting at our regular table and not coming in as often. Came in there with 2 friends one day. Others from our professional group came in separately, but sat at nearby tables. When we asked for our bill, she automatically gave us the bill for everyone, (15+ people). I had to ask to speak to the manager because of her "attitude" about it. Instead of being apologetic, she was trying to make us seem like it was our fault. Who is the customer here? It used to be our weekly place, not as much anymore.
Before it happened, I totally liked cafe asia. But last year, me and my friends went out to cafe asia and ordered calamari for appitizer. We found a fried black bug with 6-8 legs. We immediately called the waitress and asked her to take a look at the bug. She took our dish saying she would ask the chef what exactly that was. A minute later, she came back to us with empty hands and said "We are not sure what that is, but for sure, that wasn't a bug." Since we were so sure that was A BUG, we asked her to bring the dish back to look again. But she said she threw it away becuase that was nothing we should worry about. It made no sense to us!!! She said all she can do was bringing new dish for us or cancelling that order. So gross!
