I hate to write a negative review when the staff were so friendly, but the food at Asian Restaurant was truly dreadful. Dumplings, noodles, tofu--almost everything was awful--and nothing was fresh. The only bright spot was the "vegetarian chicken" dish which was actually tasty. We couldn't finish anything else.

Had lunch here and it was delicious. Hibachi filet mignon was tender and perfectly prepared. Appetizer of vegetable tempura was very good as well. Good service and atmosphere.

I've eaten at many outstanding sushi restaurants across New England and the USA. Fortunately there are many good ones out there. I'd top Hachi as #1 on my list, and that's saying a lot as I've had a couple favorites for years. I'm thankful I found this place a few months ago. The service is always good too. Kind people. And the atmosphere adds an upscale yet fun atmosphere.

Excellent Thai restaurant in downtown Middletown, CT. This place is spotless with great service. The ingredients were fresh and the selections were inventive. We came across Thai Gardens purely by accident and will make it a frequent stop for lunch when traveling up Route 9 through Middletown. You won't be disappointed.

This is a terrific spot for a quick but absolutely delicious and very satisfying lunch or light dinner. The YAKI-GYOZA and edamame were perfect and our entrees were all steaming-ly delicious, just bursting with aroma, and flavors. Service was attentive and courteous without being annoying. The ambience and noise levels allowed normal conversation as well. There are many restaurants in Middletown - do not miss this one!

Our friends who live near the area took us there, great choice! Lots of special sushi rolls, I tried the Snow White roll with spicy tuna, very special and yummy! Ordered a sushi and sashimi combo, very fresh fish and definitely value for money. Strongly recommended if you are looking for a Japanese place in Middletown

Couldnât wait to return to enjoy dinner here after over a yearâs absence. I opted to relish my favorite entree, General Tso Chicken. Iâve tried it at many other places all across the country and the General Tso Chicken here is absolutely mouth watering. As usual the portions are more than ample at a unbeatable price of $17.00. The staff is always top notch and the bartender is a fantastic person whom I have known for over 10 years. Such a delightful man. The Forbidden City should be on your must try list in Middletown on your next visit. Only regret that I live over 1,000 miles away from this hidden treasure.

We had lunch here. The restaurant is like a lot of Asian restaurants, the interior is not inspiring. We ordered the Thom Kha soup twice, both with chicken. Good but not special. As main we had a curry, very very spicy and the lemon grass steak. We asked if the curry could be made a little less spicy but the waitress said it was impossible with the curries. Missed chance. Both dishes in the end not that special. The service is like in any Asian restaurant, quick without any personal interest.

Had lunch here with my cousin/friend and it was delicious. Started with cd spicy sesame noodles and then on to bok choy with mushrooms and chicken with white rice and then chicken dumplings with cabbage salad with sesame vinagrette dressing. Enjoyable lunch, just wish they offered Brown rice though.

We won a gift card from this restaurant and very glad that we got a chance to eat here. Food was so much lighter and fresher than we expected. Very nice. Good service except that we had to ask for chopsticks as there were only knives and forks on the table. Food was wonderful--presentation delightful. I hope to go back there.
