Placed an order for delivery, 2 hours later get a call informing me that it had been ready to pick up for sometime. Informed the staff that I had ordered for delivery and they flat out called me a liar on the phone. On top of that they refused refund my money.

It's hard to believe that a strip stop could produce the quality and variety that come out of Asia Bowl's little kitchen.For most entrees, the menu lists the preparation and gives you a choice of main ingredient -- chicken, beef, pork, shrimp or tofu, for example.We chose eggplant for the Jalapeno Stir-Fried in Tamarind Sauce ($7.25) and were rewarded with a colorful tumble of precisely cooked vegetables in a slightly sweet sauce sparked with jalapeno rounds and curls of cilantro.The flavors were complex and true in our Malaysian coconut curry ($8.95), whose rich yellow-orange-hued sauce held a bounty of fat, firm shrimp, with tails thoughtfully removed.Finally, try the Wonton Deluxe Soup ($6.25) without salt or msg. The flavors are tremendous and you can add salt to taste. Too much for one, so share. Entrees are large and can be shared as well.Clearly, Asia Bowl is far more than a place for neighborhood folks to grab a desperation dinner or a quick fuel stop. By Ridgmar Mall.
