Asian Grill — Restaurant in Burke

Two months ago I wrote this in Yelp..."The food is excellent, but that's not why I'm giving this place 5 stars. I'm giving it 5 stars because of the service and, specifically, the owner. We're a group of hard to please hefty eaters, 7 in all, and only one had been here before. He told us to trust the owner in his suggestions. The owner just gave us a price per head and started bringing out the food! It was incredible. Soup, lettuce rolls, lamb chop (perfectly seasoned and cooked), spicy drunken noodles, pineapple fried rice, crispy pork, and much more. All 7 of us went away stuffed and even had leftovers. Darrin, the owner, was there the whole time laughing, making jokes, telling us about the food. Great place, great folks! Definitely highly recommend this place!"

Well, tonight a group of 5 of us went back (4 of us had been the previous time). Not only did the owner, Darrin, recognize us and point to the table where we had previously been seated, but he pointed out that one of the guys hadn't been with us the last time.

Go here alone or in a group, but tell Darrin to keep the menu and put your trust in his judgement. Without us having to even crack a menu open, we were brought the following;

Fried Calamari Fresh Smoked Salmon Wraps Cilantro/Egg Drop Soup w/ Beef Grilled Lamb Chops Fried Chicken Wing Combo Fried Rice Shrimp and Broccoli Green Beans Beef Dish Pork Tenderloin Apple Fritter in Cinnamon and Sugar for dessert

Not only is the food great, but it is a pleasure to watch someone who seems to truly love his work. Darrin goes from table to table talking to people as if they were all members of his family or old family friends. He plays with the kids, stops to tell you stories about the origins of the food, etc. And thanks to Maggie and the rest of the staff for another great night out! We'll...

My girlfriend and I were looking for a place to get supper in the area, and we decided to give Asian Grill a try. Upon initial appearance, it seemed pretty empty, but we were soon greeted by very friendly staff. We promptly got seated and ordered our meals. Our waitress was really kind and gave us helpful recommendations. The entrees came out within reasonable time and they were pretty good. We really enjoyed the egg drop soup and the dragon wings. As for the main dishes, we ordered the kung pao chicken and the Mandarin combination. These orders tasted a little bland and the kung pao chicken specifically was prepared differently than most other variants. Overall, the food was still enjoyable and was just about the right price based upon its portion and quality.

At the end of our meal, the owner of the restaurant came to our table to introduce himself. He is a very friendly and jolly man. He also discussed how the food prepared here may taste differently compared to other restaurants, and if a customer feels unsatisfied with their order, the restaurant would be more than happy to make up for it. It was very kind of him to greet us and we definitely appreciated the compassionate sentiments.

Our first experience at Asian Grill was a very positive one and we can see ourselves paying another visit here. I recommend people to give this restaurant a try. I personally would rate this restaurant at least 4.5 stars if I could; however, based on our orders alone, I cannot say that it's quite ready for the...

This place is wonderful! The food and service are amazing. The egg drop soup is easily the best I have ever tasted! Perfectly savory, moderately thickened, no added veggies with just the right amount of flavor. I wolfed it down too quickly to take a picture! The wonton soup is very delicious and mildly flavored. Perfect for me because I came in feeling quite nauseated. Because this was our first time, the waitress gave my husband and I some free wontons - perfectly crunchy, with a pop of creamy filling and sweet sauce. My husband ordered moo shu pork. He was satisfied with the flavor, but said it was a bit dry without the added plum sauce. I ordered the broccoli dish with chicken and added veggies. The flavoring was mild and just right for an upset stomach. The veggies were perfectly cooked and flavorful. My only complaint is that the chicken was a bit fatty - I’m quite picky about my meat, though. I’m grateful for the waitress here, who showed me such great compassion. It truly made my day. I came in a wheelchair and a neck brace. I have been through quite a bit recently with a major surgery. Our waitress did everything she could to make sure I was comfortable. She even held the door for us on...
