Ably Asian Cuisine in Jasper Georgia
 
Not that this is the food channel or that I'm a food critic by any means, but I'd like to make brief mention of a new eating establishment here in Pickens County, Georgia, worth checking out. Given our sad lack of stellar restaurants here in Jasper GA at which to eat, it is always welcome to see a new restaurant enter the scene that holds promise of better things to come.

The restaurant in question -- Ably Asian Cuisine -- is tucked away on Noah Drive in the Jasper Mountain Highlands shopping center, across from Home Depot. Ably Asian Cuisine offers a mix of Chinese and Thai food at reasonable prices, and while I've tried only a couple of their dishes, I found the samplings to be rich and flavorful, and worth another taste. In particular, the Hot and Sour soup (a personal addiction) was of a superior quality to many other Chinese restaurants I've tried throughout North Georgia.

The menu offers few surprises, but they do offer a vegeterian selection, and for several basic recipes you get your choice of meat, rather than the typical single option. Atmosphere and decor are pleasant if unremarkable, but for a quick, well-prepared meal without blaring TV's or loud music, this one has potential. Let's keep 'em busy and maybe they'll stick around.

"Best dining experience in Jasper"

Ably Asian Cuisine is not your average neighborhood Chinese restaurant. While the prices are what you'd expect from the corner restaurant, the dining experience is comparble to an upscale restaurant in a large city.

This restaurant is new -- and the facility is impressive. From the outisde you don't expect much (it's located in a new strip mall), but on entering the restaurant you'll be impressed. The restaurant has a chic, modern atmosphere. I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt -- after walking inside I felt like I should have put on nice pants and a dress shirt.

Great food, great service -- more than what you'd expect in a small town strip mall.

I'll be back soon!

"Excellent Chinese and Thai. Worth a try."
 
Excellent food. We usually go once a week and I try a new dish almost every visit. Haven't been dissapointed yet. We're from closer into Atlanta and would choose this food over most intown Asian restaurants. Everything is fresh looking and flavorful. Staff is friendly and efficient. Decor is not your usual dragons and fish tanks, either.

Good stuff.
