Reviews Summary
Taste of Asia offers a mixed bag of experiences, with many praising its authentic Chinese and Thai flavors and quick service. However, some diners find the food overpriced for the portion sizes and quality, with occasional issues in execution. The bubble teas and specific dishes like Drunken Noodles and Thai Curry are often highlighted as favorites, while others have found dishes to be too salty or dry. Despite some criticisms, it remains a go-to for Asian cuisine in the area for many.
"We arrived between lunch and dinner time which worked out perfectly for my large order for 2 people ( we wanted a variety of dishes). Highly recommend their drunken noodles, Thai curry, Korean beef, and Mongolian beef. A perfect way to subdue my cravings for Asian food while away from home. Also ordered the Thai tea (really refreshing and perfect amount of sweetness), taro and mango milk bubble tea. Business and staff was very welcoming and dine in area was very clean. *sorry I did not include photos of my drinks, I was busy enjoying them already."

"If you’re craving Asian cuisine, this is currently your only option in Mackinaw.
Started with the sampler appetizer- a good start. I had the Two Flavor Chicken, which didn’t disappoint. Asked for extra spicy and they adequately delivered. Wife had Pepper Steak that was full of flavor (a bit much on the amount of peppers that came with it).
Quick service. We opted to carry out."

"Overpriced and low quality food. I don’t understand how can one mess up simple egg fried rice. My wife ordered Drunken Noodles, which she regretted deeply."
