I recently visited the restaurant Le Parfum D'Asie during a friendly evening with friends. The property is well located, it includes a large parking and it allows to bring its wine. So far so good!

From the first glance, the dining room offers a slightly old-fashioned look with its turquoise accents, but the decor is not totally out. It offers a small kitsch side all the same interesting. For a Thursday night, the restaurant has the side, since it is full.

When I open the map, I notice that the menu is huge. The variety is great, but it is easy to get lost in a sea of ??choice. All dishes are offered in table d'hôte with soup, imperial rolls, main course, dessert and tea. For my part, I chose the Delicious Seafood Platter which included a skewer of shrimp and scallops, vegetables and a choice of rice or vermicelli. I was slightly disappointed by my seafood. The appearance was not at first very appetizing and the cooking did not enhance the flavor at all. I would have preferred to have my shrimp and scallops roasted. The vegetables were still tasty. On the side of my table-mates, the appreciation is unanimous. I may not have fallen on the right dish. I tasted a few bites of Chicken General Tao which was very crisp and very good. Two of my fellows ordered a menu to share that looked succulent. The menu was quite expensive, but it allows you to sample a wide range of the huge menu. Perfect for the curious. If I come back, I will try this experiment.

The service was however very friendly, we were very welcomed. I however found the amount of plates a little high.
