Perfectly Delicious Food, Loved Everything!
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly positive. The food was perfectly delicious 😋. I tried almost everything on the menu and absolutely loved everything I tasted. My favorite dish was the eggplant in some special sauce. I truly love this place and wish we could live closer 🤩. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was wonderful, and there was no wait time.

Great Teriyaki & Tempura with a Discount!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I loved their great teriyaki, fruit, veggie tempura, and california rolls, along with other options. The friendly owners added to the positive atmosphere, and the great prices were a pleasant surprise, especially for its location in Columbia Tower. A hot tip for others: go between 2: 10 PM and closing at 2: 50 PM to get a 20% discount.

Fantastic Asian Buffet Lunch Experience
My recent visit to Asian Express Restaurant for lunch was a fantastic experience! This buffet-style establishment boasts a wide variety of authentic Asian dishes, offering a great opportunity to sample many different flavors. The food was consistently fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I appreciated the concept of weighing your food, which ensures you only pay for what you consume, making it an excellent value for money. Although they focus on lunch and don't offer dine-in, the quick service and delicious food make it a top choice for a satisfying meal on the go. I highly recommend Asian Express for anyone seeking a diverse and delicious Asian buffet during lunchtime, and I'm eager to return!

Good food and service, but a serious safety concern
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food & service were good, and the place offered a lot of variety. However, a significant issue arose with food safety. I was shocked to find a string of metal wire INSIDE one of the sushi rolls. This is a serious concern, as it could have led to a dangerous situation, potentially sending someone to the ER.

Awesome Korean Food and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was awesome, especially their Korean Fried Chicken. The broccoli was also made just right. The service was excellent, and the Happy Hour was the bomb. They have a great selection of Korean-style food. I visited for lunch and found the price to be very affordable, between $1–$10 per person. The atmosphere was also enjoyable, rated at a 4.

Authentic and Affordable Korean Delights!
My experience at this restaurant was incredibly positive. As a Korean, I can attest that all of their Korean dishes are legitimate and authentic. I particularly enjoyed the spicy rice cake and Kimbap, as well as the fried green beans. What's amazing is how affordable the food is; I can never spend over 10 dollars because their food per pound is so reasonable. With about twenty five dishes to choose from, I could eat here every day and never get sick of it.

Disappointing Chicken and Bulgogi
My experience at the restaurant involved ordering two small pieces of chicken and Bulgogi with some vegetables for $19. Unfortunately, the food was served cold and was not tasty.
