“Perfectly executed modern Japanese cuisine. Their wine list and sake options are exceptional. Do ask for recommendations on the Sake flights, they have some real gems. The fish and cooked dishes are impeccably prepared.”

“Food was freshly made and high quality. If you need healthy protein forward and macro friendly choices you’ll find options here. Try the fried tofu appetizer and the teppanyaki which is served with grilled veggies. Service was prompt and atmosphere was very serene.”

“Yes, Zen and Now can be very tasty, almost authentic. But they need to maintain quality control and take their time preparing dishes. It’s such a popular place it can get frenetic and this is when preparation can miss. Service is fantastic, we have never experienced anything but sweet professionalism and just nice people. My only real gripe is the music is TOO loud - what happened to conversational level volume, that means - in the background! Also, what happened to playing Japanese music?! I’m from San Francisco - the best Japanese food and style…never loud, pleasssse.🙏”

“Lemongrass on the Uva corner is solid Thai food. The food we ordered was very flavorful and consistent across all of the items we ordered. I loved the Drunken Noodles and the family enjoyed Pad Thai and other items. That this is a family business shows in the careful attention they put into the food we received. We will be back and this is most likely one of our go to places for carryout or dinner now as we love solid Thai Food and Lemongrass everything we had was on point.”

“The salmon poke bowl was absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh. The mango and avocado were both perfectly ripe. The bubble tea is always good too, and not sickeningly sweet. Sometimes the boba can be a little hard in the center, though, and I wish it was just a bit more tender; then I'd give it 5 stars.”

“We were in Charlottesville for a couple of days and staying at the Hampton Inn - University. We wanted some Chinese food and lucky for us that Asian Express was literally across the street. A very small shop with only a couple of tables. A very friendly greeting and we ordered General Tso Chicken , Sweet and Sour Pork, Bok Choy all with fried rice. While we waited for our food, there was a steady stream of customers arriving for take out food and most appeared to be regular. Our food arrived quickly and if was very good. I spent a lot of time in China and missed the bok choy and their version was outstanding and brought back great memories. They checked on us several times to ensure the food was good. This is not a fancy place with upscale ambience but it is if you want good food and friendly service.”
