Review from Jason P.
If you're in a quest to find the best Chinese fastfood takeout, I think Asia is up in contention for winning that award. Chinese takeouts come one too many these days, popping up like wildfire on every other block. There is nothing that distinguishes Asia from any other takeout, with the typical 4-5 tables inside a fairly low-budget ambiance, and a counter where you order your food and can watch the chefs do their work. But the first thing that stands out at this place, is that they also have a Mexican menu for tacos and the like. I have not ventured that far, but I have had the chance to try several of Asia's Chinese dishes on different occassions and have to say they were all a notch above any other Chinese takeout.
The General Tso's Chicken was soft and moist, far from other places overcooking their chicken or serving you yesterday's chicken. One of the giveaways is how stale/hard the breading of the chicken is. This tasted as if it were made that day and the sauce that complimented it was right on.
The Beef and Broccoli is another dish I tried as it is a staple dish for Chinese takeouts. This dish is fairly simple to make, so if they mess up this dish, it's a dead giveaway to avoid that takeout. But fear not, the beef was very fresh and tender to the bite. The broccoli had a nice crunch, still signifying its freshness.
The Pepper Steak is also a familiar dish that is very similar to Beef and Broccoli with the exception of broccoli substituted by onions and peppers. But again, the beef was tender without any cartilage/fat that some Chinese takeouts make the mistake of leaving on. The onions and peppers were abundant in this dish, but nonetheless very fresh.
Even the Egg Rolls tasted fresh as opposed to the typical egg roll which is twice fried in an attempt to get rid of their old eggrolls from yesterday, making the veggies and pork taste slightly like cardboard.
So far I've had three very enjoyable signature dishes here and I'm pretty excited to try their other dishes, maybe even venture into their Mexican menu. If you're in the area and looking for a quick, cheap and tasteful Chinese takeout, Asia is the place!! -

This place is a Chinese Take Out with Tex Mex 'specialties' as well. Their Chinese food is in my opinion the best in the area. I have had Kung Pao Chicken from probably over 100 different take out type places, and I have to say, Asia's is the best.
The fried rice is consistently good and the white rice is moist and steamed well. While I am not so much a fan of the sauce on the General Tso's Chicken, the chicken itself is fried perfectly and very tender and juicy.
The Mexican food I cannot really say is good or bad. In my opinion, the few things I have tried were good and tasted fresh, but I usually don't order Mexican from Chinese places.
The delivery is quick and on time. The staff working is friendly, and the young lady working the register speaks both English and Spanish.Listed in: My Neighborhood

Wowowowowowowow!!!!!!!
As far as fast food Chinese and Mexican (yes I said Chinese and Mexican) goes this place brings the heat. I was skeptical at first about this place that looks seedy sandwiched between Woodhaven house and a Papa Johns Pizza storefront but it delivers. On a couple dining occasions we have had the sweet and sour chicken, all white meat General Tsos, chicken lo mein, fried rice and their chili tacos. This stuff is fresh and delicious. If you are in the area this is a must visit. The price is right as well. Also for every $X.XX (7 and 14??) spent you get a free can of soda.
Who would have thought a Chinese place could serve good Tex-Mex as well?! I'm sold. -

I dont understand what all the great reviews are about. It was very typical chinese takeout. I ordered steamed wonton with spicy sesame sauce and was a little disappointed. Actually the best I ever had was at Jade Bamboo on Dry Harbot Road. Had the sesame chicken, it was good but nothing different. It was just ok. My wife had the sweet and sour shrimp which was a total disappointment due to the amount of fried dough that was wrapped around a small piece of shrimp. Delivery was good and very fast. I will stick to Jade Bamboo for takeout chinese though. I tried.

Wow Asia just never fails to deliver when it comes to food. The chicken and broccoli I ordered tonight was superb and by far the best I have had in Queens. I cannot find Chinese food this good up by my college and it is disappointing but thats why there is Asia. I recommend Asia over any of the other local establishments, especially the near by East Meets West. The delivery was very prompt too, all in all I remain a loyal Asia customer time and time again.

Its great if you're looking to buy Chinese and Mexican food from the same place. Unfortunately, the place is alright clean and the Chinese isn't as tasty as I had hoped. The Mexican is nice.
Nonetheless, a good try on Chinese food! -

Standard Chinese/Tex-Mex takeout place, but they are cheap and the delivery times are always examplary. They're always friendly on the phone too. What's not to like? Personally, I always order the Mexican takeout. The chicken enchilada dish is my favorite. $5? Yes, please!

This is the worst food I have ever seen. I also don't understand the good reviews. I ordered General Tso's Chicken and it had all of 3 pieces of broccoli. I ordered all white meat thinking that would be best, wrong. They were very large pieces of 'chicken', so I was going to cut them. Inside I found little bits of 'chicken' with some white substance (I assume dough) but cannot be sure. I cut into all of them and they were the same. IT looks like they were trying to stretch the 'chicken', gross and unacceptable.
