Asian Chao

No!!! The chicken fried rice had no flavor and the chicken was dry. The sushi was NOT freshly made. I sat there and saw them take them out of the plastic wrap and dash some soy sauce over top. The wine is over priced! The only good thing was the service. This was expensive and it was awful. Reduce your prices or improve the taste and quality of the food. I want a refund!!!

Panda Express rip off. Tried to charge me a dollar extra for fried rice after barely giving me any.
Bourbon chicken and fried rice got the job done.

It is what it is.
Quick airport faux Chinese. If you’re on a diet you can get the Bourbon Chicken with out rice or noodles for$ 6
Is Bourbon Chicken Chinese. Don’t think so since the only place you can get it is at a Food Court in a mall or airport.
Anyway it’s not bad for cheap fast airport food.
And when you read the other reviews. They are pretty much spot on. I think they are expecting too much from what this place is.
But when I’m in a food court I don’t usually buy my drink from the place I buy food. I may just buy my chili from one place. My fries from another and a drink from another.
Don’t expect much here and you won’t be disappointed.

I didn’t want to pay $ 18 for a bowl of noodles at the asian bistro just down the hall, so I opted for this place when I saw you could get a combo plate for $ 7.50. I’m not one to thumb my nose at food court chinese (it’s actually a guilty pleasure of mine), but this place was just bad. The bourbon chicken needed more sauce/​flavor, and from one scoop of it, I had to spit out about four chunks of gristle. The orange chicken at least had flavor, if not that of oranges, but it was about ¹⁄₃ meat, ¹⁄₃ fat, ¹⁄₃ chewy breading. The noodles were kinda dry and flavorless. Even the cherry coke tasted like it needed more syrup. The ‘service’ was good, but not good enough to make up for the utter failure to produce good food.

No Asian customers were standing in line… not a good sign.
On the bland side.
Raise prices $ 1 – 2 and offer something better.
Will fill you up for $ 9 in an airport
Good seating in area with free Wi-​Fi
Small Gripe: «Cash Only» sign day I visited. Suspect they were saving on the merchant fee?

Pretty good Asian food, or at least the bourbon chicken is good. The orange chicken is also good, though the noodles and rice are both a bit plain and way to oily.

I don’t know why this restaurant is listed as being in concourse F. It’s actually in the BC connector, right next to Philadelphia Marketplace. My main criticism of this place is that there is no menu with prices posted. I had to ask how much everything was.
I am aware of the other bad reviews, but I can only review based on what I had. I wasn’t in the mood for a full entrée, but I did order an egg roll and egg drop soup. Although the egg roll was slightly dry, it still had great flavor. The egg drop soup also had good flavor with the right texture. I found it interesting this place puts peas and carrots in their egg drop soup.
Would I come here for the other items available? I am not sure. Would I come here for the egg drop soup and egg roll again for less than $ 4? Yes.

pretty standard fast chinese food at an airport.
My experience wasn’t as bad as others, but it wasn’t exactly great. Panda Express would be better suited here

Awful food. Just threw it away. The chicken was so cheewy that couldn’t even get it chewed

Disappointing, walked all the way from F to A gates to get Chinese and it was skimpy portions with almost no meat. At least I got some exercise.

Sooner or later I will learn to not order Orange Chicken from any fast food Chinese restaurant not named Panda Express.
In this case, I was subjected to tough, stringy chicken over bland, watery rice, with service most generously described as brusque. The orange sauce was okay, but it’s hard to enjoy it, knowing the terrible quality of the meat that awaits you as soon as you take a bite.
Awful, even for airport food. Recommendation to avoid.

Passing thru this poor signage overcrowded airport and gave this place a try. I have a high tolerance for Mall food, esp Bourbon Chicken and Orange chicken type junk.
This place makes Wendy’s taste like Ruth’s Chris. If I ever import a puppy dog from China (no self-​respecting Pakistani or American dog would tolerate it) I know where to order tasteless dog food for it… this place. $ 12 wasted. That means it was not a fluke. I tried 3 different (what should not be called) dishes, and each was more tasteless (which is kind of an oxymoron, more tasteless) than the other.
This place made me look UP to airline food. Yes, it’s that bad.
Avoid… Unless traveling with your dog. ;-)

Bland, tasteless, boring.

Decent and unremarkable Chinese food option in the food court, but neither the prices nor the quality are anywhere near Panda Express. Have to ask for chopsticks if you want them. As other reviewers have commented, prices are slightly high for what you’re getting.

Asian Chao is a dependable standby for faux-​Chinese at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). Even if there’s a long line (and there seems to be, perversely), it moves quickly.
I usually go for the fried rice or noodles, and the sweet and sour or bourbon chicken. There’s no hot oil, but they have hot sauce packets, perfect for coloring a meal crimson. Everything tastes as you’d expect, barely two steps above edible, nothing more.
Prices are usually atrocious — you’re in an airport, after all — and if you’re unlucky enough to be low on cash, they’ll happily swipe major credit cards.
If this place existed outside the airport, they wouldn’t survive a year.

Asian Chao is probably the most popular place in the Philadelphia airport food court between terminals B and C. Why? I don’t really know, but I guess Sbarro and the Hot Dog place don’t look very good and people just want to have something «ethnic» when they’re in an «international food court» (not that they call it that, but all food courts seem like they’re trying to be).
I’m with Joe B. on this one, it’s pretty bad. I’d liken this Asian Chao to the Chinatown Express restaurants that are scattered about the LA area. They’re not good, give you heartburn, but yet, you find yourself going out of convenience every now and again. A two item combo with a soda will end up costing you around $ 9.50, which is more than a Panda Express, but I suppose it’s the airport surcharge. The rice is pretty bland, along with the dishes I had (tofu w/​vegetables and string beans), but if you ask them for a couple packets of hot sauce and just put it all over your food, it gives it a little bit of life.
The servers aren’t nice, but it’s a food court. Sadly, it looks like it’s the king of the food court, but I’d take a Panda Express anytime over the AzN Chao.

Pretty horrible for Chinese food, but at least you can get real, unprocessed broccoli and string beans for prices that aren’t too crazy. As far as healthy-​ish options go here, it looks like either this or Au Bön Pain. The wine bar across the way looks tempting, but chinese food and wine tasting don’t really go well together. .. and I doubt it’s going to hold anything interesting for a wino from California. And probably cost a ton.
Oh yeah, Asian Chao. The servers bark at you, too, keep their head down, and don’t seem to care who they’re talking to. Lady next to me asks for napkins, so they give them to me. And they also seem to have no idea whose order is whose.
