Asian Cafe in O'Fallon

 On a Monday night when Mike was out of town, Anna and I at at Asian Cafe on Bryan Road in O'Fallon.  It is only 4 minutes from our house.

It has been a long time since I'd been there with faculty members on a Professional Development Day.  

We read some reviews.  One thing that people noted was the crabby waitress.  Yep, she was there.  She wasn't really crabby...just not very happy or nice.  She just "did" her job.  

We had also read that the broth that is used in the Wonton Soup and other clear broth soups is really good.  So, we started with 2 small bowls of wonton soup.  The broth was sweeter than the typical wonton broths we are used to.  It was good.  But the bowls were VERY small for the price you pay.

For an entree I tried the Hunan Stir Fry with Shrimp.  It was good but I missed regular broccoli.  It was a lot of celery, water chestnuts and other crunchy things that I couldn't discern.  The spicy brown Hunan sauce was VERY good, but the vegetables needed some regular broccoli.

Anna got sesame chicken.  The chicken chunks were VERY big.  That was OK.  She said the sauce was sweeter than normal.  It almost had a slight "orange chicken" taste.  She liked it but several of the pieces of chicken had gristle in them.  It came with several large pieces of broccoli (just steamed, not in the sauce).  

I think next time we try this place, I will try some actual Vietnamese food and maybe get a clear broth soup.  

The prices are considerably more than a typical Chinese restaurant.
