"It may not be picturesque, but dining at a full-service restaurant inside an Asian superstore is a whole lot of fun. The menu at Asia Pacific is pages long and leans Sichuan, so peruse the offered iPad for helpful photos. Standouts include stir-fried pea tips, roasted whole or half duck, salt-and-pepper lobster, shrimp with egg tofu, beef with bitter melon, and roast pork with Chinese broccoli. A bubble tea bar offers quality boba. The hot and sour soup serves three to four, with a pungency that is layered. On the grocery side, a standing freezer of shaved proteins and an aisle of dumplings are worth ogling. A bit outside of downtown, Asia Pacific earns its wings with easy parking and select sake and beer options." - Stephanie Burnette
