We thought we had retired from the restaurant business after we sold our carry-out & catering business in Saucon Valley. It had been a successful endeavor but after 8 years of devoting our entire life to the business, we just needed a change. We sold the business then traveled throughout Asia. The irony of this trip was that our vacation lead to the end our retirement!
Tasting all the wonderful Asian cuisines reignited Alex's passion for cooking. He wanted to bring all the different cuisines of Asia back to the Lehigh Valley. Long story short, our retirement from the restaurant business lasted only 2 years. We are celebrating Asia's 6th year anniversary this year!

Edit 12-21-21: Food was still delicious but the portion sizes for the chicken and brocoli and shrimp and snow peas were reduced dramatically. We only could get one meal out of a quart of each whereas we easily had to 2 at other times. Changed rating from 5 stars to 4.
One of the best Chinese Restaurants in the valley. I can't wait until they begin having dine in again!

Ok now this is a very good Chinese restaurant. As a transplant from NJ, I've looked long and hard at this issue and have mostly had negative Lehigh Valley experiences in this area. Now I have to say this restaurant has Asian cuisine and not just Chinese but I've tried several of the dishes and always feel satisfied with high quality and tasty food. In particular the Japanese eggplant with pork is phenomenal and a must try! There some unique options here as far as Asian cuisine goes locally. Eating here will result in taking a chance on some new dishes but you should feel confident in getting a

We enjoyed the food, but it is really hard to judge takeout as subtleties in Chinese cooking are lost. One of the better Moo Shu dishes in the valley. Still looking though for that perfect smokey flavor that comes from Wok Hei and woodear mushrooms. The lo mein was lo mein, maybe a little dry, but the pork was on point. Orange chicken was perfect, crispy with a flavorful sauce. We'll be back to try more, and hopefully eat in once covid subsides. I expect to add another half point then.

I live so close! I wish I loved it more! Every time we try it, the flavors seem off... Even their authentic dishes missed the mark. And I LOVE authentic Asian cuisine. So many people raved about this place, I had such high hopes. We keep thinking it must’ve been an off night each time we try it, but we’ve tried three times now and have been underwhelmed every time. The folks who own the place seem so lovely, I hope it was just happenstance that our dishes didn’t work out.

Clean Chinese food with the ingredients they used. It was a little messy with the packaging. The lo mein leaked out in my togo bag and the general tso was not in a quart box. Other than that the food tasted really good and would recommend for tourist in the area. Dining hall looked scary but don't let it detour you from eating there.
