As a new transplant to Orangeville I was excited at the prospect of eating some good Asian food. Based on the reviews I decided to try RJ's with my family. The food quality and taste was sub par. The pad thai (if you want to call it that) was a complete mess of noodles with a heavy soy based sauce that wreaked of salt or maybe MSG. It had almost no chicken in it (skimping on meat is never a good move). The mango salad also had a sauce that wasn't balanced and wreaked of a cheap vinegar, imitation of proper Thai mango salad but not quite. The rare beef pho was maybe the best thing we had there, although a pho is a hard item to get wrong. We were also told they ran out of basil/mint very curtly which always comes with a pho soup. For the grand finale we got some kind of beef dish with rice, only to find a hair in the rice. Oh, I forgot to mention, service is poor and not attentive. Not sure why this place has such positive ratings and a customer base, but if you are looking for authentic Asian food, look elsewhere, this place is on the same level as a street eatery in a 3rd...
Read moreThe food was absolutely great!!!! We were a group of 7 and everyone loved their order. The lady who took our order, which I'm assuming was the owner, was very nice and helpful.

The only suggestion I have for the owner is to pay slight more attention to the cleanliness of their herbs. I asked for extra cilantro, to my surprise she actually provided us with a huge amount free of charge. However, afterwards I noticed the cilantros were not washed properly and had a bit of...
Read moreNew to town and we were looking for a good Pho place. Went on Google and Yelp and narrowed it down to RJ’s and a couple others and let me say, we are so happy we chose RJ’s Taste of Asia. Small, Quaint, Authentic. What more can you want out of an Asian cuisine restaurant. Not only did I meet my name-sake 😉 but we got served probably the BEST Pho I’ve had just about anywhere so far!! My friend had the Chicken Wonton and my husband had the Stir Fried Veggies with Teriyaki Chicken and rice. Neither of them were disappointed either! We will be going to and ordering from RJ’s plenty in our future here. Must try it! (It’s on a one way street but there is plenty of near by parking) Do not miss out on this place if you’re looking for some great...
