Asian Cafe

This little place produces some very food food with fresh ingredients. My husband loves their fried rice. I've had several noodle dishes (lo meón, soba) and all have been good and the vegetables tasted very fresh and not over cooked.

This is a small restaurant with a few tables mainly for carry out. But the wait is never long.

Total hole in the wall/hidden gem. I called in an order at 7:30 on a Thursday, and it was ready in about 10 minutes. We ordered the hot and sour soup, kung pao shrimp, and beef + broccoli. Everything was hot and delicious. The vegetables were especially fresh! Also they gave a generous amount of large, juicy shrimp. Normally places skimp on the shrimp, but not here. Came to ~$30 for two large entrees + a large soup. We will be back!

Likely you would dismiss this place based on the looks of the building, and there is no space or tables to eat there, however the food was the best Chinese food we have ordered since moving to Maryland over a year ago. I wish we could order ahead online but the wait wasn't terrible after placing the order in the restaurant.

I just moved to Frederick and this is our new Chinese food spot. Food is so good that it reminds me of the Chinese food from north jersey!

Good food, not great. They did add tofu to a recipe on my request. Nice folks to deal with!

So normally I would have given them 4 stars because my go to for Chinese food is kind of based off an establishments Beef and Broccoli and while theirs wasn't the greatest the rest of their food was delicious.
I also got the orange chicken, egg rolls, and crispy beef.
The orange chicken was flavorful and crispy. The beef was also crispy and had great flavors and while the egg rolls weren't anything special they were still very delicious. I'm ordering again tonight.

Convenient little Chinese place along east street! They've been quick on the orders and haven't messed them up. Staffs fast and friendly. The food is good. I took a couple photos of what I got this round! I think the crispy beef maybe is a little too sweet/runny, and needs more crispy-ness to it. It was OK! Simply Asia in Thurmont makes it better in my opinion! Would love it if they could make it like Simply Asia in Thurmont (HINT HINT). :-) The Broccoli and Chicken was pretty good, and I love that the Broccoli taste FRESH. I was hoping to get it in the white sauce, but it came with brown, which tasted good.

Great service and food. The timing was real quick. But the food! Man it was on point. It's a hole in the wall restaurant but damn it was delicious.

My partner and I have ordered from this place several times, and we love it. They're always great at accommodating our vegan requests. The quality is consistent and ingredients are fresh. Will definitely keep ordering here!

To put this review in perspective, mine and many of my friends favorite Chinese places is far east in Bethesda, and I tend to only eat beef Szechuan, so I'm not great for A better rounded review. The second best place for beef Szechuan is one that I've had in the area is in Clarksburg called the Red bowl. I tried several places around the Frederick area and it just wasn't very good at all. I recently tried modern Asian on the golden mile, and they use plum sauce, and the taste was pretty good, although I didn't appreciate the thick slabs of meat and vegetables although I will say they're very generous portions. I'll be going back there. As for Asian Café this was my first time there. Their beef Szechuan is the shredded beef that I prefer, and the vegetables are thinner and better cooked. So it's a close tie only because this place uses brown sauce instead of plum sauce or if they use plum sauce they use very little of it. And as one of the reviewer mentioned they are a little light on their meat. That being said, I'm likely to go here when I need Chinese, and I'm betting that you might find a good selection for yourself here. I'm considering picking up some plum sauce and just mix it in there and it might just give it enough taste i prefer, in which case it'll easily beat out modern Asian for my taste. Perhaps they'll consider as other people mentioned - adding a little more meat to their meals would make it more satisfying as well. Lastly I'll mention if you ever go to Far East be prepared to almost pay 50% as much as any of the places I've mentioned here as their beef Szechuan is over 20 bucks at Far East. The red bowl, modern Asia, and Asian Café this place is somewhere between 13 and $15. Modern Asian as far as the amount they give you probably is the best value.
