About Asian Avenue
Most households run a rotation of four or five places they order from and rarely think past it. A new one usually joins the list by accident, on a night when the usual choice is closed or the line is out the door, and after that it either sticks for years or never comes up again.
Asian Avenue is at 4101 32 St, in the downtown core. Restaurants working under a broad regional banner tend to build a wide menu, which is useful for a mixed table and awkward for anyone trying to work out what the kitchen leans toward, so the honest way in is simply to ask what people order most often. A call ahead is also the fastest way to sort out pickup timing when you are feeding a crowd rather than a couple.
The rhythm of the city shows up in restaurant service. Vernon fills through July and August with people down from the lakes and off the rail trail, then quiets considerably once the visitors go home, and that changes how long a table takes at seven on a Friday. If you are coming in from the Commonage or the Landing, phoning first is worth the minute it costs. It is also the right moment to raise allergies or dietary needs, which any kitchen would rather hear about before it is deep into a rush.
