Asia Today in Centrum

To be honest, some dishes tasted OK, but some were just average. The tofu tasted sour, and I thought it was vinegar, until I ate a normal piece of tofu. The portions were small, just a little bigger than the bowls I eat at home. Two-thirds of the meat dishes were red and green peppers, and the rice was not tasty. I waited for an hour to order the dishes again, and the sour tofu was almost finished, but the dishes were not served. The main problem was that the boss lady had a bad attitude, which reduced the dining experience.

First time had a great meal in this restaurant. They have a separate Chinese menu with authentic Szechuan dishes. The service was great. Highly recommended!

The lady owner's attitude was extremely poor.

The food here is average，some dishes were tasty, while others were disappointing. The drinks were just poured from large bottles bought at Albert Heijn, which felt quite cheap for a restaurant setting. The service was the worst part of the experience. While one young waitress was friendly and tried her best, the attitude of the owner was shockingly rude. It felt like I was begging to be served rather than being treated as a paying customer. I honestly don’t understand how a restaurant can survive with this kind of service. Definitely won’t be coming back.

It was a really bad dining experience, especially the lady owner's attitude was extremely poor. I will never go there again. I also ate the sour tofu!!! I've had diarrhea for two days after eating it. It's so terrifying. Food safety is in question.

I didn’t have a pleasant experience here. The staff was quite rude, and although we ordered at least seven courses, some of them didn’t taste very fresh.

The food tastes normal, but the service attitude is worse, especially the boss lady, whose service attitude is extremely bad.

The food tastes terrible, the service attitude is even worse, especially the boss lady, the service attitude is extremely bad, the food is served very slowly, two people's food took half an hour to be served, I don't know how this restaurant has a rating of more than 4 points, maybe it was fake people who gave the rating.

The food here was absolutely awful. The tofu tasted stale and definitely not fresh. Besides the poor quality of the dishes, the service was just as bad. The staff was rude and unfriendly, making the whole dining experience even worse. I will never come back and would not recommend this place to anyone. Save your money and go somewhere else!

Great quality of dishes. Fantastically tasty.

Ordered from the separate Chinese menu. Sichuanese beef is great. Service was a bit slow.

Delicious Sichuan style cuisine - there is a separate menu for Dutch/English then a Chinese menu. Friendly service. Will recommend

One of the few restaurants in Groningen that serves authentic (Szechuan) Chinese food. However, you have to ask the waiter for a menu in Chinese. This was no problem with my Chinese table companion. When asked, it was said that this menu will soon also be offered in Dutch. Fortunately, because the Dutch will also enjoy this, provided they can tolerate peppers. Vegetarian options were scarce on the Chinese menu, it would be nice if more became available. The dishes with cauliflower and tofu were a bit too oily. The Bibimbap (claypot rice) was very good, the rice wonderfully crispy on the bottom. Ambience is sleek, a bit dark and somewhat neutral, not very special per se. Fortunately, the tasty food made up for a lot.

Door omstandigheden kwamen we niet aan dineren toe maar alleen aan een drankje. De gastvrijheid was groot. Dat toch even hier opgemerkt want dat was fijn.

When i go out to eat a polite waiter is as important as the quality of the food. When i go there and asked to be seated she barely looked my way and pointed at a table, which, honestly i wouldn't have given it a second thought if that was the only thing. Sitting on a table in front of me was a guy waiting for his food. When she brough it, it was a take out, the guy was going to ask about a fork and immediately got interrupted in a rude manner by her saying: "didn't you order take out?!" When he was going to explain her that he just wanted a plastic fork or wooden chopsticks she turned her back and left. When the guy was getting up to leave a younger girl came rushing and gave him a plastic fork, someone with decency appeared. As for my interaction, i asked for an entry, shrimp soup, the tenderloin and, to drink, a full bottle of Rose wine. I usually prefer to do so and pay the whole bottle and drink what i wish without having to ask for a glass everytime which leaves me uncomfortable. She thought i should be uncomfortable already just requesting the bottle and re-checked it with me 3 times while looking with a very judgemental face. Had that not been enough, after 10 minutes she bring me a hand-written paper with the value for the everything i asked without having even brough anything. I felt discriminated because there were 3 more people there and she had not done that to them. I have 4 earrings and my beard was not proper, however i believe that is far from being a good reason to think i was going to run away after a meal of 71€, maybe for her that's an ammount that she would be willing to steal but i am no thief and, fortunately, i have no trouble paying such a small amount for food. When i went up to the counter to pre-pay i did tell her: i really hope your food is better than your service. After that she talked a bit better, which i believe is more due to the payment than my words. As for the food, the gyoza is trash. The shrimp soup is tasty but the shrimp came still with the shelling? First time i had ever seen that. The tenderloin is worth it, very good. A good chef but it became clear why the restaurant was so empty, with that waiter there I don't believe they will ever be as good a restaurant as they could.

Calm atmosphere, super delicious food and great service! We'll be back ^^

Delicious food, attractive restaurant. Relaxed background music. Good price-quality ratio.

We had a delicious meal! This restaurant is definitely recommended! Service is good, the atmosphere is good and there is lovely music in the background. The food was delicious!!!!

Great food. Disorganized service with long waiting times. But for me the food is most important. Would recommend the teppan steak with pepper sauce. Will certainly come back here

First time eating here. The place wasn't busy. And after we ate there, I was very surprised. The food is really good and tastes excellent. We had a three course menu from Het Laatste Tafeltje. I was allowed to pay a little extra for my choice, the teppanyaki with tenderloin. A truly delicious dish. I thought it was a bit too cold. The decoration of the store is simple but good. We were not able to eat everything and took home leftovers of both main courses. This restaurant deserves more diners. Highly recommended 👌

Simple classical Asian dining in a contemporary setting. Good value for money and friendly service.

Voor de 2e keer heerlijk gegeten hier. De Koreaanse Bibimbap is een absolute aanrader. We vonden de bediening wel een beetje nors, niet de Aziatische gastvrijheid die je elders wel vaak tegenkomt. Desondanks wel een aanrader als je van Thais en Koreaans eten houdt.

Das Essen war sehr lecker, heiß und kam schnell, was vielleicht auch daran lag, dass der Laden so gut wie leer war. Schade, da die Inneneinrichtung schön und einladend wirkt. Die Bedienung an den Tisch zu kriegen hat zwar etwas Geduld verlangt, jedoch muss es ja auch nicht immer super schnell gehen. Gute Auswahl, mehr vegetarische/vegane Gerichte wären cool (vor allem bei den Vorspeisen), aber da gibt’s ja genug andere Läden. Getränke etwas teuer. Falls wir mal wieder in Groningen sind, gern wieder!

Buona esperienza in un locale che propone cibo asiatico di varie provenienze. Menu non troppo estero ma ben assortito con diverse proposte vegetariane in grado di accontentare un po' tutti Porzioni medie. Il locale è davvero carino. Servizio standard ma comunque cordiale. Conto in linea con i prezzi olandesi a mio avviso leggermente alti.

Essen sehr lecker. Ebenso der Weißwein. Service könnte aufmerksamer sein...

Jaren geleden was ik hier een keer en nu dus weer. Het eten is erg lekker, het restaurant is mooi ingericht. De stoelen zitten heerlijk. Echt een aanrader. Op de achtergrond wederom, net als jaren geleden, heerlijke (blues) muziek.

Het eten was bijzonder matig. Voorgerechten best oké, maar toen het op het hoofdgerecht aankwam ging werkelijke alle kwaliteit de deur uit. Ik heb op rondreis in Thailand allerlei vormen van het bekende Pad Krapow gehad, dus toen ik dat op de menukaart zag staan werd ik enthousiast. Helaas bleek de pad krapow van Asia Today niets anders te zijn dan een goedkoop supermarkt/thuiskok niveau wokgerechtje te zijn met wat groenten, een miniscule hoeveelheid vlees en hoisin saus. Toen ik de eigenaresse er over vroeg was ze vrij kortaf dat er meerdere koks werken en dat deze kok de pad krapow op deze manier maakt. Verder was het (ondanks een bijna lege zaak) nagenoeg onmogelijk om contact te krijgen met de bediening, konden we met veel pijn en moeite wat zout op tafel krijgen en zelfs drinken bijbestellen ging voor geen meter. Er liep een man of 5/6 in de keuken rond, maar zelfs als je half naar binnen stapte negeerde iedereen je gewoon tot de eigenaresse om de hoek kwam lopen. Ik zeg dit niet gauw, maar blijf alsjeblieft zo ver mogelijk weg bij deze toko. Als je aziatisch wil eten zijn er alleen al in de noordkant van het centrum al 5 andere restaurants die 100x beter zijn voor minder geld.

Ik heb al heel wat bibimbaps gegeten op verschillende plekken. Deze bibimbaps is de beste: in een super hete schaal wordt het opgediend. Dan het ei met saus door alles roeren, waarbij het allemaal heerlijk ruikt. De rijst wordt nog een beetje gebakken door de hete schaal.. heerlijk.

Amazing place! Tasty pibimpab and very tasty coconut ice cream! Recommend to everyone!

Все было очень вкусно, обслуживание на высшем уровне! Все чисто, аккуратно! Блюда свежие, креветки нежнейшие. Лучший пибимпаб! Лучший ресторан в городе!

Tasty food and friendy service.

Das Ambiente ist sehr schön, ein kleiner feiner Laden. Ich hatte mir ein Curry bestellt und es war fantastisch. Der Service war sehr freundlich und engagiert. Die Speisekarte war auch auf englisch, was mir persönlich nochmal extra gut gefallen hat.

Heerlijk gegeten, klasse ! De bediening vond ik kil deze keer.

Wij eten altijd heerlijk bij Asia today. Smaakvolle gerechten en met liefde gekookt! De mochi (dessert) is n aanrader. Jammer dat de locatie niet zo op de route ligt van de gemiddelde Groningenbezoeker. Dit restaurant mag wel wat meer exposure krijgen.

Via Social Deal this 3 course meal was like comfort food. Not included in photo, dessert warm apple gyoza.

Ontzettend lekker eten en een heel erg fijne sfeer! Echt een aanrader in Groningen 😍

Top eten, vriendelijk personeel. Aantal keren geweest, kom er graag. Enige verbeterpunten: Ook zitplekken boven met bediening en meer/betere toetjes :)

Amazing food and great friendly staff! Really nice atmosphere! Would highly recommend trying this restaurant out.

Decent Asian food with big portions. Atmosphere is cozy. Highly recommend if you want to try truly Asian cuisine!

Gezellig restaurant en leuk personeel. Uitgebreid menu en het eten was héérlijk. We komen zeker vaker!

Heerlijk eten en een gezellige sfeer! Ook top personeel!

Delicious cuisine in a warm and cozy atmosphere. The menu offers a wide selection of dishes from all over Asia, from noodles to curry to sashimi. Personally I recommend to try the duck pancakes, soft and flavorful. In general, the portions are generous and the prices fair. 5/5

Heerlijke Aziatische gerechten, fijne ontspannen ambiance met attente vriendelijke bediening. Erg genoten van de Bibimbap en de appelgyoza. Het assortiment bevatte tevens ruim voldoende vegetarische keuzes.

Great food, even better value for money! Friendly staff and it looks much better inside than you’d expect from the outside!

The space, music and staff are absolutely lovely! The food is amazing and the entire atmosphere is very cozy and relaxing. 100% recommend this restaurant if you love Asian cuisine and are in Groningen <3

Absolutely a hidden gem in Groningen when it comes to Asian food! The food is great especially considering the low prices and big portions. The menu has a lot of variety and some very nice drinks e.g. soju/yakult cocktail and their Gin&Tonics. Finally, the staff is super friendly, would definitely recommend coming here for a good and cosy dinner!

Zeer goede kwaliteit en een gezellige plek om te zitten!

Ik geef zelden ergens vijf sterren voor, maar dit etentje scoorde op alle punten. Bediening was persoonlijk, vriendelijk en professioneel; de sfeer was goed, alles zag er schoon en verzorgd uit; de keuze was gelukkig niet oneindig, maar beperkt tot gerechten waar ze - voor zover wij althans konden proeven - goed in zijn met uitgebalanceerde smaken; de prijs was ook nog eens top. Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar!

Delicious food and fast service!

De eigenaresse heeft er weinig zin in. Samen met een jongedame die hier net is gestart en erg stil is, geeft dit geen lekkere sfeer. We wilden Thais eten en bestelden dan ook typisch Thaise gerechten. Alleen de beef salad was Thais. Ook nog eens uitstekend. De Pad Thai en de Chicken Curry waren lekker, maar beiden niet Thais van smaak. De bami was zelfs typisch Chinees. Jammer hoor. Wel een goede huiswijn, wit en rosé.

Aziatisch streetfood restaurant waar je betaalbaar heerlijk kunt eten. De voorgerechtjes zijn heerlijk, maar eet niet teveel, want de curry met gamba's brengt de smaak van een Thaise nightmarket bij je terug.

Voor een betaalbare prijs krijg je heerlijk eten. Inmiddels twee keer hier gegeten en beide keren was het heerlijk. Het restaurant is gezellig en mooi ingericht. Personeel is vriendelijk.
