# 6 BEST HOTEL IN THE NORTHEAST
# 1 HOTEL IN PROVIDENCE
BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT
[ BLACKSTONE VALLEY & WEST BAY ]
Asia Grille
Asia Grille wants to challenge your preconceived notions of Chinese takeout . The restaurant hopes you will sit and stay awhile and savor the menu with cocktails , rather than pick up an order and be on your way . Both the Lincoln Mall and Garden City locations are designed with a cozy interior and a well-stocked bar where you can sip a mai tai ( or scorpion bowl , if you feel like sharing ), munch on some apps and relax . Some of our favorite dishes include the best-selling cream cheese-filled crab Rangoons , crispy spring rolls , scallion pancakes , fried wontons and Peking pork 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 that you can share , if need be .
