Asia Cafe Xpress - Alcoa — Restaurant in Alcoa

We live in Alcoa and were excited about having an Asian Cafe close by. When they first opened up, their food was good and portions were enough to share.

I'll be a...

Up front, we are used to full service Chinese Restaurants, and there are not many of those around here. Those that we've found have not had good sweet and sour offerings. Asian Cafe Express is designed as a drive-through express, and the amount of food is small when compared to a full sized restaurant. The food was not bad but not a lot of it. Our order was $26 plus without tip. And here I am frustrated with them even asking for a tip. They are paid full wages. Normal Restaurants wait staff are not paid full wages and need tips to survive. Tipping is...
