Asia Express
Dining With the Wisest
A Gentleman’s Retreat for the Palette
Good folks, if you find yourself in the fair city of Philadelphia, do wander your way to Asia Express at 7246 Castor Ave. This little gem, a veritable haven of fine and tasty dishes, is the kind of place that wakes the palate with a firm but gentle slap, reminiscent of how you might rouse a slumbering bear with a honey pot.
Signature Plates That Dance
Ah, the distinguished offerings! One would be remiss not to mention the Mongolian Beef, an alluring combination of tenderness and spice that would make even the most stoic of souls shed a tear of delight. And then there’s the Sesame Chicken, which, I assure you, could coax a grin from the grumpiest of grandfathers. Need a little kick? The Curry Shrimp & Onion makes a valiant attempt to ignite a fire in one’s belly—though I can’t guarantee it would succeed against a chili-loving Texan!
The Ambiance: A Cozy Affair
Step inside, and you will find the sort of decor that whispers, “Come in, sit down, and forget your troubles for a spell.” The atmosphere feels as warm as a summer evening in Hartford, CT, and the service is prompt yet unobtrusive—like a friend who knows when to speak and when to let the silence be golden. In the words of Mark Twain, ‘The secret of getting ahead is getting started,’ and this establishment sure knows how to get started with grace and poise.
A Front-row Seat to Flavor
The lovely thing about Asia Express is not just its authentic fare, but the steady stream of satisfied patrons who become part of the establishment’s history with each visit. It’s a place where stories are shared alongside steaming plates of lo mein, and laughter surrounds you like a well-worn quilt.
In Conclusion, a Whimsical Choice
So, dear reader, should you find your crabs in a bucket or your spirits in need of a lift, visit Asia Express. They say that ‘there are more pleasant things to do than beat your wife,’ and one of those things, I positively declare, is breaking bread over a fine meal here. Rejoice in the flavors, and should you desire something outside the box, may I suggest Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken, where the chicken might just cut a rug!
