7 Asian Kitchen — Restaurant in Waynesville

The food is ok. It's edible. I ordered chicken and broccoli with 2 egg rolls. The chicken has a strange...I don't know, texture I guess? Like you have really tender pieces and then really tough pieces. I don't usually notice because I typically order fried chicken dishes (orange chicken, general tso). I don't know why this happens, but if you get any sort of chicken dish that's not fried, you'll notice.

I believe they rely heavily on MSG for flavor. There are no signs to contradict the use of MSG, so I have to assume. It is very salty. But the flavor is decent. However, people around here drench everything in white sauce, so I'm not sure that they even notice!

Lastly, the egg rolls. Much thinner than most Chinese restaurants. That's a bummer. The inside was mushy, instead of beaming with fresh crunchy veggies. Service is good and it is clean, so most people will enjoy that.

All in all, it's an ok Asian place. Nothing special, will do in a pinch. Don't get caught up in most of these reviews, because like I said - most people are basing it off of the white sauce. They'd drink a whole gallon...

UPDATE: I originally gave this 4 stars, but about 30 minutes after eating my husband and I both felt exhausted, and I also just felt strange. We began wondering if it was the food making us feel this way, and if maybe they put MSG in it, so I called to ask. They said they use “chicken powder.” I asked if “chicken powder” has MSG in it and they said yes.

In the past, I was in the habit of requesting there be no added MSG when I ordered Asian food. But in the last several years all the restaurants we go to have stopped using it. I’m surprised that this place uses it since MSG causes problems for many people. —————————— Original review: We carried out medium spicy chicken green curry (it was pretty spicy for “medium”, so order a little less spice than you actually want). We enjoyed the dish. Nice portion size.

We also had the dynamite and dragon sushi rolls. They were bland, so we weren’t impressed by either one.

They provided speedy...

Things have changed since the last time I was here. Before the food was rather mediocre. But this time it was all very very good!

I dined in. The atmosphere, if you can call it that, was tables on each side of the line of people ordering food, mostly to go. So this isn't a first date kinda place. If you're dating take it back home.

This is more a take out, or a great place to go after you're married for a while.

But... and this is a big but... the food is really really good!

I had the broccoli chicken and a California roll. The plate of BC was a very large portion. And very fresh! Much better than kobe's in my opinion. And the California Roll was very good and also fresh.

All and all I was very happy with my order.

And oh, by the way, I'm single. My cell phone and ear buds made a very good atmosphere.

I'd surely give them a try if I was you.,...
