Review: Made in Asia
Tyler Gaines, staff writer
On Sunday, Jan. 21, I paid a visit to Made in Asia, a local diner that specializes in Asian food and cuisine. I arrived at the establishment around 11:38 a.m. The customer volume was low, but the service was still good. I did not have to wait long before I was seated. The hosts there were kind and courteous at all times.
Feeling welcomed at a restaurant is key for satisfactory reviews and customer loyalty. It felt like an overall relaxing atmosphere. I had a good conversation with the bartender. While I was there I was asked how my food was and if there was anything else I needed. It was truly commendable service by the whole staff there.
I noticed that the servers were able to handle multiple customers at once and provide them with the same quality of service as me. I had the Szechuan Crispy Cod, which according to Made in Asia’s website, is a “Filet cut deep fried cod with Szechuan spicy sauce and a side of stirred fried mixed vegetables and rice” for $15.95. I also had some Japanese craft beer with my meal.
The menu has a variety of options to choose from. Everything is organized from signature entrees down to types of Asian cuisine, such as Thai or Chinese for example. There is also a menu option for kids that parents and caretakers will find particularly convenient. Pricing varies between all the menu options, however there are affordable options for you to choose from. Their lunch menu ranges anywhere between $6.50 and $7.50.
Made in Asia is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. You can contact them by phone, email, or by visiting their website. They are located in Zion Crossroads, a reasonable drive for good Asian food.
The food was of great quality and I recommend it to anybody. There is a take-out option as well for those in a hurry. Having these options makes things that much more convenient for everyone. I would rate my trip to Made in Asia over the weekend a 8/10. I cannot speak enough about how everyone there is treated as a welcomed guest.
