Old Asia - Orihuela

Went there twice in the days because of the food and excellent service av Joe (Pepe in Spanish). The food was very tasty, everything went smoothly and fast, we really enjoyed our time at Old Asia. Highly recommend!

Lovely food. Large menu to choose from Very quick and efficient service. Great prices. We really enjoyed our meal. Lots of busy pubs around to go to after for a drink as well.

Tasty duck and tiramisu! Beautiful interior and calming music, although barely heard over the bustling coming from the kitchen. We ordered two different duck dishes (peking duck and terriyaki duck), where the prepared meat is the same, only the difference is sauce and vegetables. Peking duck comes with small pancakes. Rice is ordered separately, if wanted. Our table was reserved one day prior, for 6:30pm. The man over the phone confirmed that this time was appropriate, that the restaurant should be open at this time. Yet, when we came over two minutes before our planned reservation, the restaurant was still closed. We had to wait about ten minutes for them to open. This could be the result of miscommunication over the phone, or some language barrier, but it was quite strange at the time. They didn’t seem to be in a rush whatsoever, while knowing that guests would visit at this scheduled time. We also didn’t get appetisers like other tables did, strangely. Having the waiter open the water bottle before us to ensure that we are not paying for tap water would be most preferred, but we got served an opened bottle of water. Again, not a catastrophe, but would enhance our experience

Have visited many times but this was so disappointing. Starter was a very average spring roll. The duck and pancakes consisted of extremely fatty duck with a tiny amount of tasteless duck if you could find it! . The red chicken curry was also bland and tasteless and the sizzling prawns were awful. The best part of the meal was the fruit salad. Credit to our waiter Joe who was so helpful but we came for food which was sub standard.

Had the menu del dia for 11€ each. The food was fantastic. The service was also perfect. Special thanks to Joe who explained the gluten free options for my wife. Will definitely be returning
