Asia Kitchen 福临门

Food and service here is amazing! And they have two very large round tables with a rotating center section so you can order and share easily. They do not serve alcohol, but it appears that you can BYOB. Highly recommend!

Asia Kitchen in Knoxville is excellent! The food is fresh, flavorful, and always cooked perfectly. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the portions are generous. Definitely one of my favorite spots in town!

Highly recommend for best Asian food in Knoxville and did not disappoint. Portions are huge, ingredients are fresh, sauces are very flavorful. They are more than happy to customize items if needed. Orange chicken is traditional with orange peel for zest, dark meat and not overly breaded. Pork intestine appetizer is highly rated and unique. Pho is some of the best in the area. Hot and sour soup is packed with flavor and veggies.

Not your average American Chinese restaurant... Take a look just at the egg drop wonton soup... Color, depth of flavor, and a broth with real body. Absolutely wonderful food.

They have so much food and the service is great and the serving size is big. You can do like family style with friends easy.

Still trying to find a great Chinese restaurant in the area and it was recommended that we try here. Can't say I was really impressed with anything. The decor was dated and not in the best of shape. The service was very slow. And the food was...food. so while we sat waiting to have our order taken I got to watch 2 male servers standing by the kitchen area eating plates full of food. Eventually our waitress appeared and took our order. There was a decent amount of customers but it wasnt like dinner rush busy so it didnt quite make sense that service was so slow. The portion size was decent for the price and I truly can't say that the food was anything fabulous, it was Chinese food that you can get just about anywhere. Not sure if we will give it another chance with so many other places to try around town as we look for the diamond in the rough. Go, don't go, I'll leave that up to you!

Hands down best Asian in East Tennessee. 40 years of searching and we always end up here. Hot bowls and all the Asian/American favorites. Come here and thank me later -

It took a long time to get our food, but it was worth the wait. The best Chinese food that we've experienced since moving to Knoxville four years ago. Food was really good. The fried rice was a little better than what we've had in Knoxville. Still not like you would find in big cities, but had more flavor compared to other places around here. I definitely recommend this place, and will be back.

Everything here is so fresh and delicious and authentic, if you're looking for Chinese food that feels like you're barely in Knoxville??? Here's the place to go. You'll love it I guarantee!!

Terrible, slow service. I also asked specifically if the dish I ordered was vegan because there was no mention of anything I choose not to eat. I asked, "no meat, no eggs, no cheese? The server replied, "No, no, no..." except when our food finally arrived after waiting close to an hour, my bowl was loaded with scrambled eggs, which were not even mentioned on the menu as part of the dish. Maybe I got someone else's dinner? I have no idea. Of course they never checked back with us, so I picked out what I could. My daughter said her dish wasn't good either - it was cold, bland, and barely edible. We actually had to go out to eat after we ate here! Awful dining experience. I have no idea how this place has so many positive reviews.

Since moving here from Miami I have been in dire search for a good Asian restaurant. I wanted some thing with the regular festival food most Chinese places serve, but traditional dishes also. My dreams have been come true at Asia Kitchen. The food is always fresh with enough portions to take home.

Egg plant with ground pork garlic sauce with rice The best Eggplant flavor I ever had Lily the server was excellent Chinese eggplant is the best

Dead bugs in the soup. We ordered egg drop and hot and sour soup. This is disgusting and unacceptable. Tried calling the restaurant but it was closed as I picked up around closing time.

The food here is really good. It's one of like two or three Chinese places that serves authentic dishes. However, the setting of the restaurant is incredibly icky and dark, so much so that reading the menu is a bit tiresome. Finally my biggest problem is that it just takes forever for my dishes to come. Straight up it will take 40 minutes to get served my appetizer, with the excuse being "there's a queue for the dishes" but meanwhile tables have been sat, ordered, served, ate, and left before we even get our first item. This is a multiple time occurrence as well. It would be more understandable if the place was busting with tables, but it was no excuse for other tables to come after us but finish first.

I ordered a to go while driving through Knoxville since it is close to I-40. So I ordered egg drop soup and chicken fried rice. The egg drop soup was so so but the chicken fried rice was good and fresh. I would have appreciated if they gave some hot sauce or chilli oil with my to-go because I forgot to ask.

Extensive menu, well beyond the basic. Food was prepared well, great flavor. Been a long time since I ate at a restaurant with diners from so many languages and cultures. Native Chinese speakers were about 1/3, inticating trust of restaurant team. Especially in TN. Sat near kitchen and saw so many different dishes. I had hot & sour soup, daughter had egg drop, both were excellent. Egg rolls had tender wanton skin, unlike most places, filling was savory cabbage & seasonings, ideal. She also had vegetable pan fried noodles. I had braised tofu with shredded pork & mixed vegetables. Portion size was very large, vegetables were fresh and top quality. Who uses whole black mushrooms the diameter of a golf ball? We both enjoyed the half we could eat, the left overs should be a full meal. Remember, unlike American culture, meals are slower so, plan on a little slower pacing than you might get elsewhere. Great is worth the wait.

So far his is most authentic Asia food I have found since leaving California. The wait time on a busy day can be anywhere up to 45 minutes but worth the wait.

I recommend this restaurant, i had Broken rice and pork chops! Tease amazing with the area not much Vietnamese food. Thai fried rice good too!Staff friendly , good price .

I really enjoyed their food that I had to continue coming back to try more food from their menu and all are very tastefully delicious

I thought it was good but I'm a gweilo. My wife is Chinese and she was surprised that it was this good and authentic. Service is attentive but it will take 45-60 min to get your food -- authentic food isn't fast. The eggplant with beef in the clay pot was very good (I like slightly cameralized oyster sauce) although a bit oily but it's northern style. The serving was very large, enough to fill two people. The braised fish was also great. Lots of fish, very tender and slightly sweet with braised tofu and carrots. Again, large serving. The Chinese broccoli was a little too oily but also had good flavor (broth was likely not vegetarian ) and was not over cooked. Again, large dinner plate serving size. Rice was good too, just a little dry and slightly sticky as should be. Beef shank in chili sauce is a cold dish. Imagine dense but tender beef slices with chilis and cilantro- the cilantro balances the chili -- first Chinese cold dish I've had that I really enjoyed.

The food here is really amazing but their wait time has started to creep up (an hour to an hour and a half while they quote you 30 min on phone/online) so it can be a frustrating experience. Last few times I've been there I have seen 5-7 others waiting on online orders over an hour and those waiting for a table 20-30 min.

I don't like leaving bad reviews... but there is no way I could possibly leave any positive reviews with how sick my wife and I got. Stay away from the shrimp

This is the best Chinese food I have ever had. This include San Francisco, New York City, and anywhere else. The restaurant is in a mediocre at best mall and the dinner menu is not inexpensive. It is just very good.

Absolutely love this place. The food is delicious, service is prompt and courteous . The Fish and Soft Tofu in hot chili oil is one of my favorites. Honestly we haven't had a single dish here that has disappointed us .

Fantastic Chinese authentic delicious and very good take out service. The food was outadtanding crab Rangoon were great the general Taos was so so good hot and fresh. Wish JT was closer to rocky hill but I do think it's one of the better Chinese places in town.

Spectacular menu! 1-10 spicing rather than typical 1-5. Some of the most authentic tastes you will find in Knoxville. Asking for an real lemongrass chicken for next visit.

Forget the other places located in strip malls all over Knoxville, this is THE ONE. Duck noodle soup got me lovin myself. Mustard soup , put that in my mouth! Wantons in chili for that adult palette. Eggplant pork sizzles so hard you won't know what to do. Try it all, eat it all. Tea must be a hawty cause lots of folks be sippin. Sprite from the gun wild!

This delicious General Tso's Chicken is irresistible! The sweet that begins every bite followed by the heat. The fried rice is served with egg in it. It will not disappoint. All food is served fresh and hot! Clean bathrooms too!

The wait was horrendous but the food was worth it. I had the wontons in chili oil, hot & sour soup and eggplant in garlic sauce hot pot. All were amazingly well executed and delicious. Pro tip: Don't use the app to order if you want a precise wait time.

Really bad experience. A wrong order first . Then, wrong meat was used in a meal but refused to admit.

DO NOT ORDER TAKEOUT HERE. One order of fried rice took them 1 hour and 30 minutes. It was supposed to be ready in 40 minutes and I waited there for 50 minutes after that. Multiple tables were seated and served food after I arrived while myself and 5 other people waited over an hour for takeout orders. All our food came out at the same time, it was painfully clear they ignored all the takeout orders and only were making sit down entrees. Massively rude. I will not return, the food was not worth it at all.

I stumbled on this place by accident. The Chinese place near our home switched to some strange hours and was closed - so I did a Google search, and this place popped up. As I walked in, I noticed the place was full of Asians- (that had to be a good sign) and I thought this must be the place, and it was. I ordered the shrimp and mixed vegetables with won ton soup - both were delicious. The won ton soup is the best I've had in Knoxville. The meal is the best Chinese food I've had since living in Knoxville. I've been back several times, and my go-to order is the shrimp with broccoli, with brown sauce, spicy & won ton soup - it is delicious. Overall I highly recommend this place - the place is packed with other Asians, so I feel like this is authentic Chinese with great flavor.

An hour wait for carry out? And my food still isn't ready? This is crazy. They aren't even that busy.

For me, this is the Best Asian Restaurant in Knoxville!!! Most if not everything in the menu is very good! There is a wait because of a lot of people ordering takeouts. Authentic taste! The price is reasonable! Atlanta prices are higher. If you want good food, this is the place to go!

Love this place! They serve the most authentic Chinese food I've ever had in Knoxville (I'm born and raised in Malaysia and only recently moved to Knoxville). This place was heaven sent when I was home sick, wanting some authentic Chinese food.

This restaurant came highly recommended, so I gathered up everyone I knew and took them to lunch! Oh no we were all disappointed! Everything seemed to taste and look all the same as the other dishes. I had chewy Mongolian beef and fried rice. No one was impressed at all. The fried rice was good and all the soups too. But I don't see the rave!

What a hidden gem!! To be honest--when I walked in and saw the clientele...I wasn't sure we'd find anything as authentic as I was craving. Iykyk. The food was fantastic. The wontons in chili oil were delicious--and it's really not too spicy at all so don't be scared by the color. My only request is that the wontons be a little meatier- super heavy on the dough. The general tsos is clearly an Americanized concoction, but it was delicious. Hot and crispy and not too cloyingly sweet or gummy which it can sometimes be. The star, to me, was the clay pot eggplant. It's insanely hot temp wise and stays that way, but the flavors are so delicious. It's oily, but that's the way it's cooked and probably why it tastes so good. One small improvement to me would be the rice--it's classic Chinese restaurant rice, a little drier. Some nice jasmine rice would elevate everything just a bit more, so I can't wait to go home and have my leftovers with hot jasmine rice. The service is quick, the restaurant has a bunch of booths and is pretty cozy and quiet. Prices are great for the portions- leaving with tons of leftovers. Will be back again to try the number of authentic menu items!!

Probably the best Chinese food in the southeast as far as I'm concerned. I was turned on to this place by a friend who has very strict standards on where he eats and he did not lead me astray. Asia kitchen does not disappoint. It appears this is where many Asians in the Knoxville area eat as well so that says a lot to me.

It's just as terrific as the other reviews make it out to be. Great selection of "familiar" and authentic Chinese dishes here + a few fusion items. We had an amazing lunch. It was so delicious.

The Sichuan hot and spicy (ma la) menu is excellent. Fish and tofu in chili gravy, chicken with chilis, etc. are great dishes if you venture on the hotter side and appreciate legit Sichuan style food.

Food was great. Had Mongolian Beef as a lunch playe and it was amazing. Very tender, great flavor. Place is worth the stop.

Having lived on the west coast most of our lives, the wife and I were fortunate enough to have enjoyed some great Asian cuisine. Asia kitchen delivers on taste, variety and authenticity. Their menu is vast and you'll never be wanting when you're in the mood to try something new. A standard dish like orange chicken is elevated here, try it. Kung Pao chicken (ask for extra spicy) and beef with jalapenos (so tender) are some of our favs. Soups are above average. Deservedly, they can get busy, so expect that during popular times and be patient. I think you'll find any wait worth it. We're looking forward to future visits so we can make our way through all their offerings; can't wait to try their Mapo Tofu!

Quick friendly service and hands down by a mile the best Asian food I've had in Knoxville! WOW was it tasty, fresh and a wonderful balance of flavors. Can't wait to go back and work through their menu. Hot pot, eggplant with ground pork._10 of 10 Diced chicken with hot chili _9 of 10 Next on my list is Beef chow fun which I heard was wonderful as well.

This is my second time visiting and I am so glad that there is a Szechuan-style Chinese restaurant not too far from where I live. The food is always so good, hot, and great portions. This time I tried the Mapo Tofu and Ground Pork dish--it was awesome. Only reason for 4/5 is I wish the price points were a tiny bit lower, or at least had some options outside of lunch time that were a bit cheaper (college student budget ).

Great food. Will definitely be back. Especially enjoyed the quick and courteous service.

I have been craving good Chinese food for a long time so my son took me here for Father's Day. After an hour drive to get here we waited 45 minutes for my son's dinner, mine didn't show. it took him about 15 minutes to eat his dinner but mine didn't show so I canceled the order and didn't eat my Father's Day dinner. When we brought this up with management they told me I should have ordered General Tso's chicken and they charged us for the food my son ate. This was the worst service I have ever had at any restaurant anywhere. I highly recommend that you go elsewhere, unless you want General Tso's chicken!

Every time we come we try something new. Today we had the braised tofu with shredded pork and mixed veggies it was good. We also tried the sliced beef and broccoli which was good as well.

Do not order online from here. They give an hour wait time for the food to be ready but they do not actually make the food until you show up. Then you have to sit and wait 40 minutes for your food to be prepared. Just such an inconsiderate and inefficient way to run a business. Also the food is no good.

I go to there every week. Food is delicious and price is very reasonable too. Portion of the food is also very generous!

Best Asian food in the area. Amazing verity. Place is clean, and the service is great. I would recommend this to any person who loves American/Asian food. They have your classic Americanized asian food as well as authentic asian food.

Was craving some Chinese food so decided to give this place a go. We order crab rangoons, fried dumplings, veggie lo mein, spicy garlic chicken, and mapo tofu. The crab rangoons were delicious and they did not skimp on the cream cheese and crab which I appreciated. The fried dumplings were okay. They were lacking some crunch which I'm sure was partly because of the takeout. The veggie lo mein was really good! Tons of veggies and great flavor. The mapo tofu was was good, albeit a lot of oil, but hey that's where the flavor was I guess haha. Lastly, is the spicy garlic chicken. Which I felt was lacking some heat and garlic. It wasn't bad, I just wanted both flavors amped up a bit more. Overall, solid restaurant that I would go to again!

Went again this evening for my favorites Beef cilantro soup and Twice cooked pork. Always always excellent!

Asia Kitchen is a real Chinese restaurant, not an MSG palace or a high-falutin' "fusion restaurant". My wife and I went there at lunch time on a Monday and ordered the twice-cooked pork and the string beans with ground pork, from the lunch menu. The twice-cooked pork was made with real fatty pork belly (like it ought to be), with a mix of vegetables, not a lot of red pepper, and a hint of cilantro. I found both dishes a little too salty, but I'm very sparing of salt when I cook at home. The green beans were cooked just right, not overcooked, and I think they were Chinese yard-long beans. The pork was not ground, but finely diced into 5 mm cubes. Portions were generous but not stupefying. If I'd wanted more heat, there was a big bottle of Sriracha sauce on the table, and some hot black bean sauce. Good basic things to order in a Chinese restaurant you haven't been to before - next time I'll be a lot more adventurous, and try to organize a party. I do a lot of basic Chinese cooking at home - slice and stir-fry - at home, and I go to restaurants for dishes I don't cook at home. Back there a week later for kung pao chicken (beautifully cut chicken, not enough heat for this south Texas boy) and Chinese sausage with Chinese sausage (very savory sausage, an old favorite I cook often). There were plenty of customers, but it wasn't crowded. I'd say maybe a third of the customers were east Asian. All of the staff I spoke with spoke excellent non-native English. We were in and out in a leisurely hour, both times we were there. They don't have a beer license, but they told me you can bring your own. Four large circular tables, with central lazy susans, for 8 to 11 diners, so you could easily organize a party there; in addition to booths and small tables.

The food is good. So lets get that out of the way. So why two stars? Here we go. I orderd two items and they tell me at least 30 minutes before my food is ready. I understand its not fast food like Panda but if I had a 30 minute wait I should have eaten there instead? Do people at the table get quicker service? Ok, you can call it critical but NOT when you spend almost $40 for two items. So yeah, a bit pricey but again the food is good. I was traveling through so probably on me for not choosing Panda if I was on a scheduled.

Delicious! 10/10 This place has great lunch specials with great portion sizes! Definitely check this restaurant out

Best Chinese food in Knoxville, no question. If you're looking for a light, fresh soup, try the roast duck soup. Their mapo tofu is some of my favorite comfort food. The pork fried rice is amazing. Also, I love that they have a lot of vegetable dishes to choose from (meant to be shared) and that many of them are spicy. Service can be slow sometimes so bring your patience. The wait is worth it.

My favorite Chinese restaurant in Knoxville. The two dishes that are my go-to and they never fail to deliver are the House Special Chow Fun and Steamed Bass with scallions.
