VT Asain Gourmet

Not a good restaurant. We went twice. Szechuan tofu was a complete disaster.

Sakura was a nightmare of inefficiency and health hazards at the site of our former beloved Indian restaurant. I was served broken glass there and when I told the waitstaff the reply was; «That happens sometimes». This restaurant opened as «Panda West» which confused and angered many long time customers of Panda North. This place is usually empty when I drive by. I wish we had a quality Chinese restaurant in West Brattleboro, but I’m afraid this probably isn’t it.

We got the flyer on the door and decided to try it out for my birthday. 2 hours later they decide to show up. What a joke. Trashed the menu.

My husband & I just moved to Brattleboro and we were looking for a good sushi restaurant. We went downtown and were disappointed. Then we saw this place and decided to give it a try. Its great! Our favorite is the rock and roll. It taste very good and we will continue to be customers here. :)

Stopped in to try. Found the restaurant comfortable and welcoming. Staff was pleasant and accommodating and food was above par. Portions were generous and prices reasonable. We’ll come back.

This food got my whole family EXTREMELY sick for two days! Chicken tastes like chemicals

I dont know why this place isnt more popular! Great sushi, great chinese food, good drinks.

I left a long review and don’t see it. Love this place. Their sushi is the best in town by a large margin.

VT Asian Gourmet (formerly named Panda West) was formerly Sakura, which moved from a hotel restaurant space across town to its current location about a year ago. VT Asian Gourmet serves up a good variety of Chinese dishes, Japanese dishes, and sushi at moderate prices. Chinese & Japanese lunch specials are served Mon-​Sat until 3PM.

While passing through the area during a snowstorm, I pulled into VT Asian Gourmet for lunch takeout. The place was pretty quiet around 2:45 PM.
I ordered the L12 Shrimp in Garlic Sauce ($ 7.25 plus tax) served with choice rice (I chose brown) and choice of soup (I chose Hot & Sour Soup). My order was ready in about 10 minutes after ordering. The 6 shrimps (firm and cleaned) with fresh vegetables (broccoli, snow peas, green peppers, onions) in a light sweet (not too thick) sauce was a modest lunch portion, though the dish could’ve had more flavor and more sauce. The brown rice was cooked firm, just right. The hot & sour soup (egg, tofu, celery, carrots, fungi, mushroom) was not too spicy,
Overall, this food I had was simple and fresh, and pretty decent. I would stop in again to try some other dishes on the menu.
