Asian Wind, located at 3735 Palomar Centre Dr in Lexington, KY, has garnered praise for its inviting atmosphere and delightful culinary offerings. Customers consistently rave about the friendly service and cleanliness of the establishment, providing a calm dining experience. The standout dish, sesame chicken, is described as perfectly spiced, paired wonderfully with fried rice that showcases freshness and avoids the common “old oil” aftertaste found in many Chinese restaurants.
The portions here are generous, making it an excellent choice for those looking to indulge. Diners appreciate the value, with many dishes like egg drop soup and crab rangoons receiving enthusiastic approval for both taste and size. The ability to customize meals, such as substituting chicken for the unique “kwachic," adds a distinct touch, appealing to a variety of dietary preferences.
However, the overall experience is not without its hiccups, as highlighted by a review noting potential biases in seating arrangements. Despite this, the food’s excellence—particularly the coconut shrimp—has left many visitors happy and eager to return. Overall, Asian Wind is a must-visit for Asian cuisine lovers, promising both delectable meals and attentive service.

Absolutely great. Very friendly folks, and the restaurant is clean, albeit a little dark - but that’s fine. Sesame chicken was great - even a little spicy which was excellent. Fried rice was better than I’ve had in a long, long time - very fresh and didn’t have any of the “old oil” aftertaste you get at some Chinese places. Wonton noodles were firm, thick and not soggy, not the flimsy soaked through stuff you see at cheap places. Apparently you can substitute out chicken here for something they call “kwachic” which is a soy-based chicken substitute. It appears unique to this place, I didn’t try it but upon looking it looks interesting. Portions large and prices are decent. Very quick and a calm atmosphere. First time in Lexington, and I always try to check out a local Chinese restaurant when I come to a new city, and I’m glad I tried this place. Highly recommended.

Large portions, amazing taste, and fast and friendly service! There was no wait, and our server was quick and friendly! We got the large egg drop soup for 4.99 and it was enough for 4. The crab Rangoons were to die for. The sweet and sour chicken and chow mein were both large proportions and very delicious. Definitely worth going to if you’re in the mood for Asian food.

Pretty good experience (although I was tipppsyy ). I honestly don't remember taking any photos . Good food and beer though. Spent less than 50 on two meals.

Excellent food and attentive service. I may have just found the best coconut shrimp dish in town. I am very happy with my decision to grab a quick bite here recently.

Vegan food here is so delicious! However when I went to go get a seat for my family by the fountain that looks exclusive they told me and my husband that they were closing that section off too clean. But a Caucasian family came in and they seated them right in that very spot. I don't wanna start a race bait or anything b/c it's not what I do and it's not the other families fault, it's the restaurants, but I do think this is culturally bias. This was very disappointing.

We enjoyed the seafood dish for two for our date night. I was surprised to find they had my favorite Riesling.
