Taste of Asia, Huntington: a few thoughts
A more detailed treatment of Huntington’s new Taste of Asia eatery is going to have to wait until I get back there with a good camera (I want to do their exquisite presentation justice).
(Update: I went back for Hibachi, and was greatly impressed. Read our review.)
But here’s a few thoughts from a late lunch I took there over the weekend. It really is beautiful food, and very tasty too. You could take a lunch here for not much more than the price of a Chinese buffet, and the quality is in a completely different league.
They’ve got to work on their service, though. A touch slow, a touch stand-offish, and a touch random: our drinks got taken to the wrong table. Despite it being a Herd home game day, they weren’t busy enough to excuse that.
I hear good things about their sushi, and from what I saw of other diners, it certainly looked excellent. Their hibachi section, too, gets glowing reports. This is one restaurant that really needs three or four visits to evaluate properly.
For now, though, I think my usual favorite for Chinese/hibachi fare — the long-established place on 4th Ave. round the corner from the library — needs to look to its laurels.
Taste of Asia is on 3rd Ave., across from the new Holiday Inn and right by the Big Sandy Arena.
