My fiance and I visited Temple for a bday party over the weekend. I was pretty excited to try it since I absolutely LOVE Azia! You are greeted by the hostess as you first walk in, she/he then guides you into the dining area which is through this huge door, the first thing I noticed was the fish tank which spiraled around the restaurant and seperated the lounge area/bar from the dining room. It was really dark in there, almost too dark. The place was red, lit up by tiny chandeliers and candles. It?s a good place to go for a quiet evening. I had the seafood salad and my fiance had the kobe beef burger. There was a generous amount of seafood in my dish however, the salad was sour and tasted of fish sauce. My fiance's kobe burger wasn't anything speacial but the fries served with it were really good and helped take the sour and fish saucey taste away. All in all I wasn?t impressed, this place is not as inviting as Azia. The crowd and atmosphere are totally opposite and the food isn't anything to go back for. Oh & another thing that bugged me was that the ladies room was tucked passed the kitchen in the back of the restaurant, before getting there you have to walk past the gawking cooks. If I'm ever there again and need to use the restroom, I think I'll wait until I get home!
