Asian oasis in Bridgewater

As one of the chefs, Rit says all his offerings are dishes he enjoys eating. “I cook it to my own taste,’’ he said, but quickly adds that he’ll adjust the ingredients and spice level to customers’ preferences.

In the years he’s been in business, he has noticed that the American palate has evolved. Customers, especially regulars, are “more willing to try authentic tastes, they’re getting it spicier,’’ he said.

Even the most particular diner will be able to find something delicious on the extensive menu. From seafood to beef, curries to noodles in soup, to sushi and vegetarian offerings, diners can take a gastronomic tour of Asia right in Bridgewater.

An appetizer of wings and ribs ($8.25), which came with two sweet dipping sauces, was just the thing to whet our appetites. The chicken wings are first marinated in a soy sauce mixture and then quickly fried to juicy goodness. The kalbi ribs are barbecued Korean short ribs, sliced thin and grilled.

One favorite is the “super crazy crispy pad Thai’’ ($8 lunch, $11 dinner), touted as the chef’s own creation. Think regular pad Thai but amped up with crispy spinach noodles mixed with chicken, shrimp, tofu, eggs, chopped peanuts, and raw bean sprouts. The heady concoction was bursting with flavor and the contrasting textures were just plain fun to eat.

Another dish that drew interest was the intriguingly named clay pot nutty monkey fried rice ($8 lunch, $10.25 dinner). The rice, served in a clay pot, was stir-fried with chopped peanuts, chicken, sliced shiitake mushrooms, carrots, green peas, egg, ginger, and scallions with gingery soy sauce. Rit, displaying a whimsical streak, said he came up with this name “because it’s nuts!’’

The Singapore noodles ($8 lunch, $11 dinner) owes its beautiful shade of yellow to turmeric. The thin rice noodles were stir-fried with bean sprouts, chicken, shrimp, eggs, onion, and scallions. The delicious mixture was light yet satisfying.
