Reviews for Nomi's Asian Cuisine in Altoona, IA
This was a small but very nice place. The food was fantastic, the owners are very friendly, & the dining area was very clean. I... got the garlic chicken with fried rice & a spring roll while my wife got sweet & sour chicken with steamed rice, everythingtasted great & came nice & hot. We're already looking forward to our next time here! Read more
First of all I would like to say that I love Asian food. All of it. Not this place so much. I have been here two times. Service... was okay both times but the food was consistently unacceptable. This last time I took two bites of my food before I gave up.Someone needs to do some quality control. The food should appear appetizing and taste delicious. Twice the food here say missedthe mark. My advice is to get someone to come in and honestly critique your food. Take the feedback and make changes. Altoonaneeds good food places. We need good Asian variety. Read more
Don't come here if you have time sensitive plans afterwards. Waited over 30 minutes for fried rice and broccoli beef. Saw... multiple to go orders go out while we waited as well as another tables' food. They did take our appetizer off of our ticket.Which we appreciated. Tye food itself was fine. Not worth the price of wait in my opinion. Read more
I had sesame chicken with upgraded fried rice that was really just steamed rice with frozen peas and carrots added. The chicken... tasted like sugar and corn starch. The rice tasted like it sat in a pan that was burnt at the bottom. I spent 20$ on one entryand a bowl of egg drop soup. The soup was the only thing that tasted good. Read more
The food was fantastic! Hot, fresh, and tasty! The owner was incredibly friendly, and provided wonderful service. We look... forward to coming back & would recommend it to anyone looking for great Chinese food. Read more
I don?t enjoy leaving bad reviews but I was shocked at how incredibly awful the food was. The server was pleasant but shared too... many details, like how their health certificate had run out a few days ago and he has been trying to get to the healthdepartment to get the new one. The place was clean so I don?t think the cleanliness was an issue. I ordered the porkpotstickers, which tasted okay, but were also clearly from a box. Then I ordered the beef and broccoli with white rice. First,the white rice looked like Uncle Ben?s, nothing Asian about it. Second, there were about five pieces of pale brown beef thatfrankly tasted like they were about to go bad or already had. I really did not want to eat any more, but for the price I did notwant to let meat go to waste. I thought maybe it was just me but after reading other reviews about the less-than-fresh taste tothe beef, I decided to leave a review. I was suspect when I arrived at noon on a weekday and the place was empty. New to town soI looked at the 4 stars without reading the reviews. I don?t know how it has 4 stars but maybe it changed hands since tofavorable reviews were written. Read more
I am completely shocked by the 5 star reviews on this place. Did I eat at a different restaurant because this was literally the... worst food I have ever had in my life. I am not picky, but this was trash. My husband got lo mein and it is literally noodlesdoused in soy sauce. Literally nothing else. I got orange chicken, and the sauce on it is pure honey. I couldn't even finishhalf of it because it was so bad. The appetizers are flavorless and seem like they came out of the frozen section of the store.I think the most offensive part is how expensive it is! I am almost tempted to ask for my money back because it was so bad. Read more
Are you kidding??? This is exactly what I was looking for. Asian Fusion at it's finest! Chinese, Japanese, or Korean...all... perfect. And the Sapporo beer was super cold. Couldn't be happier. Read more
