Cafe Asia?

Cafe Asia? (in Arlington)
Is it is as good as it sounds? A friend and I will be in Rosslyn Sunday to go to the Bodies Exhibit at The Dome. I want SUSHI! Or is there somewhere better real close by to there?

I haven't heard any good reviews of the sushi myself. That doesn't seem to stop lots of people ordering it...

I eat there regularly for lunch and enjoy the noodles. The food isn't spectacular, but it isn't bad, and they have a wide variety of stuff there so it should be good for most anyone.

Sounds about right. The sushi was edible, but nothing for me to rave about.

I hear negative things.

For good sushi (and plentiful), try Todai in Fair Oaks Mall. But that's not near.

Yeah, that wouldn't have done me much good today. Nor really any day as thats quite far from my normal path. But thanks for the suggestion.

I haven't tried it but Kanpai on Wilson is supposed to be much better.

I used to eat at Kanpai for lunch pretty often. The food is a bit more expensive but pretty tasty.

Haven't had a super bad or good experience with Cafe Asia. It's just okay. It gets pretty noisy at night so I wouldn't recommend it if you wanted to have an intimate conversation with your dining partner.

That was about our experience there today. The food was just ok. I wanted to try Kanpai, but unfortunately they aren't open Sundays :( I'll file it in my brain for later use.

I'll have to keep that in mind for next time. I did try to go there today, but they aren't open on Sunday :(

Cafe Asia used to be significantly better. It hasn't had a good reputation the past few years, though.

[crazypumpkin]

Yeah, I wasn't impressed.

It isn't bad, but it isn't great, either. I second that Kanpai is good, but you are going to pay a lot more.

If you are in the mood for Tex Mex, I suggest Sante Fe Cafe, which is on Wilson as well. Super cheap, super great, and mom and pop owned.

[crazypumpkin]

Nah, when I think good eating and food I crave, tex mex is NEVER what comes to mind.
I will be keeping Kanpai in mind, they were however closed today :(
