Latest Asian Kitchen news and reviews

Within Asian Kitchen's aggressively cheerful and clean yellow walls, you'll find few surprises but perfectly serviceable, standard takeout fare, in customarily huge portions. Most of the city is outside their three-mile delivery radius, but there's also seating for very small parties (don't let the exterior fool you as it did us) and rapid takeout.

Nichole's egg foo young was a perfectly shaped hillock of vegetable goodness. Never before a fan of "bubble tea," she rather warmed up to the idea of a strawberry smoothie with gelatin cubes in the bottom.

The semicircular crab rangoon were of excellent crispiness, but low on "crab," and of a yellow hue too.

JM found his cashew chicken veggie-heavy (which he considered odd given the name of the dish has neither) but quite tasty.  He'd like to try it again, but just doesn't have a need for campus area take out very often.  We had a generally good experience all around.

Well, there's one good excuse to order from Asian kitchen: they're Madison's only Asian restaurant that's open late. I think it's midnight most days and 3AM Friday and Saturday. Food seemed decent when I had it.

Asian Kitchen was my favorite chinese restaurant in madison until china wok opened. Madison doesn't have the good chinese i'm used too though. Some of the best fried rice in madison, but really greasy
