19 Best Asian Restaurants near West Columbia

“What! As a patron way back in the Food Lion strip mall days, this was hands down the best buffet in town, & sad when they closed. I watched when they broke ground on this new location. I couldn't be the first to enjoy since now I have an autistic child of habit, new isn't easy for us. Using my Super Mama powers, we went for lunch on his birthday in January. I do not have enough room on here to describe the ambiance, cleanliness, kindness, etc... Lucas & I will NOT EVER eat out anywhere else, not even fast food joints kids are attracted to. You get your own hibachi chef, sushi buffet with chef, "traditional" American foods, full salad bar, bars full of Chinese & Chinese-American foods, soups, desserts, superior service, a really undescribable without experiencing for yourself just daily lunch. So much deliciousness to even attempt to enjoy in a 2-hour visit for the price of chicken nuggets, fries, drink, & shake at fast food joints! If the lunch is mind (gut) blowing, supper must be out of this world! Soon. I have to judge many places by staff because of my son, who not only rolled out the red carpet for him/us, but innumerable amounts of other-abled folks, which is important to me. I have traveled & eaten at many places. I now have built-in ADA EYE. My eyes have never, ever, laid eyes on wait staff, or owners, who help a blind person or someone in a wheelchair get tabled and then helped with food selections, plating, and seated to enjoy. Care, respect, not enough words for this either. I have heard the owners waited 15+ years, raising $1,000,000 to create a dream for themselves and their patrons. Where in Columbia, Lexington, Orangeburg, Sumter, Charlotte, Augusta, Greenville, Charleston, Atlanta, and so on, can you get the same? Send me a Gmail & we will talk! Prove me wrong, I will buy your supper & eat a plate of octupi!“

“One of Best spots in Columbia. Great service and food.“

“We are regulars at M Café in Columbia, SC, and we almost always order the create your own option.

Our go-to is five vegetables with fried tofu, all sautéed together with Thai basil sauce. Quick heads-up: this sauce isn’t listed as an option on the menu, but they are more than happy to make it if you ask. In my opinion, it’s their best sauce.

We also order the vegetable fried rice made with brown rice. There is an extra charge for choosing brown rice, but it’s worth it for us. The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and satisfying.

The servers are always kind and welcoming, and the bathrooms are clean, which I really appreciate.

There is plenty of seating inside and ample parking outside. The only downside is that some of the tables can feel a bit sticky at times.

Overall, M Café is a great spot in Columbia, SC for tasty food, friendly service, and a comfortable dining experience.“

“Good experience best Korean sauces for burgers and fried chicken .“

“I picked up an order from here the other day, and my car smelled so good I told myself to get some when I was done dashing. So today, I go inside and the guy at the front was very nice and helpful. I ordered the 7cut wings (Thai Chilli Sauce) with house fried rice BUT THEN I saw that they have seafood bags!!! I almost cut up in these people establishment!! But I kept it cute; so I got an order of eggs, potatoes, and corn & I did the special sauce medium. All that food in my bag was literally $26!!!!!! God is Amazing! I get home, I prayed over my food. And I bust this plate down like I haven’t eaten anything in days!!!! This food was amazing, seasoned to perfection, literally my new favorite place to go. Thanks for a great experience with you guys!“

“Food is phenomenal! Prices are appropriate for quality and quantity . Would highly recommend. We eat there 3x a month, and servers may vary, but service is always excellent. Have never been chastised for not wearing a mask nor have I seen anyone else made to feel uncomfortable about not having a mask. IF YOU LIKE THAI, YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO GIVE THIS RESTAURANT A TRY!!“
