The Best little Restaurant in Roswell..Oh those Dumplings!!!

by bsako at Citysearch

What a delight it is to walk though the doors of the ?Panasia Asian Bistro? in Roswell. You are always greeted with a warm ?hello? from Marsha (one of the owners) who will immediately make you feel like you are one of the family. The food is consistently well prepared by Marsha?s husband Bill. His gift of uniquely blending together asian and cajun fragrant spices with fresh ingredients, produces awesome results. By the way..the dumplings are to die for.

• Pros: Your palette and your wallet will thank you!

Walk to Roswell

by flagator at Citysearch

We live in the Bay Area and usually try to avoid Asian restaurants when we travel. We get kinda spoiled out here. Fortunately, we let some friends convince us to try the Pan Asian Bistro. It was wonderful. And, we have lots of great restaurants to compare it to.

The chef has an incredible touch mixing flavors and providing surprises. If we had the time, we would walk from California for another one of those Salmon Sweet Potato Cakes. I'm drooling writing this now. We haven't had such warm and friendly service in a long time. Thanks Mike, it was a pleasant surprise.

• Pros: Friendly Service, Taste Surprises, Salmon Cake!

Southern and Asian - Great Combination

by azard at Citysearch

I have eaten at PanAsia Bistro three times, and each visit was absolutely delightful. Every dish seems like a familiar friend, but with new and exciting twists.

The Salmon Sweet Potato Cakes are always excellent. One of our favorite entrees is the Orange Salmon. The cajun spices add a wonderful zing to the sauce.

The earlier negative review does provide good information. PanAsia does not provide standard Asian food. I spoke with the owner, and they do NOT use MSG in their beef pho, so they rely on a medley of other spices to provide an interesting milder flavor. So yes, if you are looking for high-sodium pho, you will be better served on Buford Highway.

On my first visit, I was fortunate enough to meet Reesa, Bill and Shi Yi's other beautiful combination of Southern and Asian fusion.

• Pros: Great Food, Easy Parking
