A M A L says DEVOUR THIS FOOD !

1) Appearance - Very interesting restaurant - I was a little surprised because the sleek design of the signage and very cool exterior of the restaurant was a bit of a contrast to the interior, but I was definately not dissapointed! The interior is quite large, and Axia means what it says when they say they specialize in serving Asian cuisine. The restaurant boasts two kitchens in the back, one headed by a Korean chef, specializing in Japanese-Korean food, and the other, by a Chinese chef specializing in Thai and Chinese menus. Glazing frames the perimiter of the space, allowing a lot of natural sunlight during the day, and a comfy romantisicm at night. Paper street lanterns hang from the ceilings, while street lamps are scattered throughout the space, giving the feeling of being seated in an outdoor terrace somewhere. Also, the restaurant was quite clean, which is always nice.

2) Service - very impressive. Our server, Ricky, took great care of us.

3) Portions - huge. great. perfect. (because as you know, we love to eat)

4) Taste - pretty much the best Mango salad ever. We tried a bit of everything there, since they specialize in the different cuisines. Spicy crab rolls were great. California rolls were outstanding, even though I typically pass on the california rolls. Barbequed Shrimp skewers were huge, juicy, and amazingly tasty. Ricky recommended the Mango salad, which was genious, considering we had ordered the Beef with green onion and ginger dish(Chinese), with the Thai Chicken with pineapple fried rice...mmm...
and the warmed Sake is, of course, a must.

5) Price - great. Not expensive at all, and they also have great specials for both dine-in and take out!

1) Appearance - very comfortable, I really liked it there. They also had little rooms for some privacy or larger parties if you needed them. I enjoy watching the chefs work, so it was great that the Japanese kitchen was visible.

2) Service - Ricky was amazing! Ask for Ricky! Management as well was great with us (Thanks, Brad!)

3) Portions - big. I couldn't finish. This says a lot.

4) Taste - like Amal said, Mango salad has to be the best we've ever tried...Ever. Everything was great, AND they don't use MSG, which is a bonus! Even the Chinese food was great, and I don't typically enjoy Chinese food. The chicken and pineapple fried rice had such a great, distinct flavour and aroma, it was very enticing.

5) Price - Great, can't go wrong.
