Asian Joint - Thai Chinese Cuisine — Restaurant in Fairfax

WOW ... what a great find! Don't let the name fool you ... "Asian Joint" is a real gem!

The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and abundant! It's a small place that probably does mostly carry-out. However, they do have seating for about 16-20 people (with some additional seating outside) and you are served on REAL plates with REAL silverware!

Even though we are vegan, there were still plenty of appetizers and entrees for us to choose. Our host was very knowledgeable and accommodating and made sure our entrees contained only vegan ingredients.

The three of us had the following: I had the Pad Thai (made vegan), my husband had Panang Curry (made vegan), and our cousin (who is not vegan) had the Minced Chicken Basil. We all had Spring Rolls and an order of Chive Dumplings.

EVERY ITEM WAS DELICIOUS!!! Moreover, the prices were very reasonable! I would liked to have given Asian Joint more "stars" in this review ... but, five is the limit. So, you just need to try this place for yourself because the three of us think it's one of the BEST Asian restaurants in the...

The food did not meet my expectations based on the misleading images provided on the website, which I find to be a reflection of poor business ethics. I ordered the wings and combo fried rice, but unfortunately, they fell short of what I had hoped for. The quality of the wings was disappointing, resembling those found in a grocery store rather than a restaurant. Additionally, the wings were mostly separated into flats and drumsticks, making it feel like I received less than a full serving.

The combo fried rice lacked flavor despite my request for extra spiciness; it seemed like there was a lack of seasoning, not even a hint of black pepper. To salvage the dish, I had to resort to adding numerous packets of soy sauce to make it somewhat enjoyable. I regret not taking a photo to illustrate just how different the food looked compared to the online pictures.

I advise you to proceed with caution if you choose to dine here, as my experience was not pleasant. I hope that the establishment takes feedback into consideration and improves their offerings for...

I can't help but wonder why my experience varied so much from the other reviewers here, but my food was very boring and I am not happy with this experience. We ordered the food with GrubHub and it showed up hot and the order was correct, so that was not a problem. The Pad Thai was underwhelming, with a mountain of clumpy noodles and nowhere near enough sauce or flavor. It had all of the right ingredients, but just wasn't seasoned or flavorful in any way--no salt or acidity at all. The veggie & tofu fried rice was also very boring, with little flavor other than the onions which popped up occasionally. These 2 Thai restaurant staples were uninspiring and not worth my money or the wait for the food. Please season the food and look for ways to impress my palate. These were honestly not very...
