Asia Grille wants to challenge your preconceived notions of Chinese takeout. Sit and stay awhile: Both the Lincoln and Cranston locations feature cozy interiors and well-stocked bars where you can sip a mai tai( or scorpion bowl, if you feel like sharing), munch on some apps and relax. Stand-out dishes include crab Rangoon, crispy spring rolls, scallion pancakes, fried wontons and Peking dumplings— both fried and steamed are equally delicious. If your appetite calls for more than nibbles and noshes, consider the kung po chicken, delicate egg flower soup or savory beef lo mein, all served in hearty portions made for sharing.
WHAT TO EAT: General’ s chicken glazed in a spicy, tangy Mandarin sauce. Or try the decadent walnut delight dish with shrimp and chicken folded into a creamy Marnier sauce with crunchy honey walnuts and broccoli. WHO TO BRING: A family member who can devour a pu-pu platter but also knows how to share. WHAT TO WEAR: Keep it casual. THE DRINK SITUATION: Choose from a wide array of cocktails, a sizeable beer list and wine by the glass. INSIDER’ S TIP: Consider splitting dishes; the portions are hefty.
