Caddystage Eats Fulin's: Authentic Asian Cuisine

Yesterday, hungry as usual, and may I add completely excited about registering for Spring semester at Calhoun, I decided to check out Fulin's Asian Cuisine. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about Decatur's newest Asian restaurant.

Let's backtrack a little bit here, ok. My New Year's resolution, as well as, probably most of America's is to get healthy, and in my case I wanted more energy so I've decided to eat more fruits and vegetables and keep my meat proportions to a bare minimum.

                                          Vegetable/Bean Curd soup

At around 4p.m., Fulin's is not that busy, so it was the perfect time to order takeout.

My first choice was to start with a soup. The Vegetable Bean Curd soup was a combination of broccoli, corn, tofu, peppers, and water chestnuts mixed together in a beef broth base. The soup was excellent and a great starter to go along with my entree of Curry Mixed Vegetables. My entree was a mixture of carrots, asparagus, corn, broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini and let's add to this a little spicy which I love. Served with brown rice and the vegetables being lightly cooked made for an overall very delicious and healthy meal.

I'm really ecstatic about trying Fulin's now and recommend it to everyone if your looking for fine Japanese cuisine. With the economy slow and everyone now on a more strict budget, my total bill was only $12.85 and enough for two people. Try Fulin's out, you want be sorry and that's a Caddystage statement that I can live by.

The service at Fulin's is fantastic. If you have any questions about the dishes, the servers are very knowledgeable. Ours even suggested us combining appetizers, etc. to get a better deal. The sushi is delicious and everything else we ordered was fresh, tasty, and just perfect.

They have Japanese, Chinese, and Thai food, so there's really something for everyone. I ordered the seaweed salad (low in calories) and it was so crisp and tasty. Two in my party ordered other dishes and said that the scallops were fresh and cooked to perfection. The lo mein was plentiful and of course delicious. I ordered a sushi roll and it was better than some I've had at famous sushi bars in large cities.

This restaurant isn't just good for a place in North Alabama, it is a great restaurant period. I eat sushi everywhere I go (I'm addicted) and this place was definitely in my top 5.

Thank you for sharing your experience!

We ate there this weekend. I would highly recommend this place. There is a good price range and the menu is quite diverse.

Just found your blog and it's pretty cool. I'm going to have to eat at some of these places, especially Simp McGhee's. I've always heard good things about that place. Also, you may want to try Angel's Island Coffee in Huntsville.
