The whole experience was as forgettable as the name. The fried whole fish was overcooked and underseasoned, to the point that it was rubbery (at an astounding $28 no less). The shanghai beef was the same, whose sauce was glorified chicken broth. The staff seemed wholly uninterested in fixing any of the problems, telling us that that was just the way these dishes were prepared. Sure, what do I know? Im just the person eating the food you gave me. The only redeeming factor was that the sushi was decently priced and tasty. If youre not interested in sushi, youd be better off spending your money elsewhere.

I agree with other posters that this is indeed excellent sushi. The fish is top notch, with generous portions. I think the Yellowtail nigiri here is the best I have ever had, and I have been to my share of sushi joints around the world. The New Mexico roll is excellent, both in presentation and flavor. I am also partial to their Tom Ka soup, which, perhaps because of the coconut milk base, is made to be far too sweet by many restaurants. Not here - it has bite, a little sourness, and isnt too oily. The Lunch buffet is just OK, but I dont care because I always order sushi or something off the menu.

Overpriced. The atmosphere is kinda nice if you feel like showing off to your date that you have money, but isnt it more romantic to just cook for him/her yourself? The amount of food you get for the amount of money you pay is pretty insane in my opinion. Most of dishes I could have easily prepared myself better for a lot less and Ive never gone to culinary school, nor do I have an Asian background. The dishes tasted pretty much exactly like they just got the store bought products from an Asian supermarket. The people were nice, so I feel bad writing a bad review but fact is its a waste of money.

I held my sisters bridal shower here, and the owner and staff created an incredible event. The food - both hot dishes and sushi - were delicious, and all the guests loved it. The service was excellent and the staff helped with the organization of the shower so I could enjoy it without being preoccupied with details. They are a wonderful team with a great menu. Cant recommend them enough. Thank you, Asian Bistro!

Try the lunch buffet! A good variety, however, the sushi offered was limited to avocado and California rolls. The rolls were a little on the dry side, but still good. Service was excellent. It was not too busy when I was there, but the waitress was very attentive. Definitely get water, my coke was almost a third of the cost of the buffet.

Beef curry was delicious as was the Mango sticky rice. My dining companion had the Beef Terriakyi and mango sorbet which he stated were also fabulous. The lost star was because the green tea tasted like dirt...it wasnt even the right color in my cup and made me switch to diet coke which I try not to do when Im dining on Asain cuisine.

The Food is always amazing! Service is great and always nice! The best Chinese in Fairfax VA for sure! The restaurant is always empty whenever going, which is sad because the food is worth the price. Yet, if you’re looking for great food and little wait, this is the place to go!

After waiting 15 min for someone to come and greet us we left. We were sitting but no one came to take our order or even bring us a glass water. Very disappointed in their service. It doesnt matter how good your food is, if your service is bad you wont get any customer.

Took over an hour for food delivery and only half of our order came. It took another hour to get the remaining food. However, the restaurant gave us a free dessert and entree with our order to apologize and were very courteous about the whole issue.

I have been going here since it opened and have always had a positive experience. The pad see ew is as my mother would make it when I was growing up. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. Our family always enjoys eating there.

Excellent sushi. The service was also decent. It was mothers day and they were very busy but our server did a great job! I would highly recommend this restaurant. We are not from the area but we do wish we had one close by!!

The food was good, but not my favorite. My order was To Go. The portion was only half as much as I usually get from other Asian food restaurants. Usually I have leftovers but I did not have any leftovers when I went here.

Decent food, but service is often very slow. Just started a lunch buffet that is reasonably priced. Buffet has standard Chinese options, but the regular menu has Thai, Japanese, and other Asian cuisines.

Asian Bistro is a nice fusion restaurant. Food was good and the service was very nice. I like Kanom jeep for my appetizer. Also, their sushi rolls are amazing! Kamikaze roll is my favorite.... yummy!

Place is actually legit. I went here on a Groupon and was pleasantly surprised. Usually when a place specializes in Asian cuisines it usually sucks, but not the case here. There thai food is great

Excellent food! I get sushi and Pho every time and its fabulous. Great venue for a quick lunch break from the office. Plenty of parking in the garage.

Great food, attentive service, groupons available. They got rid of the Sushi happy hour, which is a bit of a bummer. But still the best sushi around.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch buffet on a weekday. The place was empty when we showed up, so the service was fantastic. We are definitely going back.

This is a great restaurant. We tried three different dishes and each one was great. Most of the dishes were moderately priced.

Pretty good food. Hours arent the best but its location makes up for that.

Service was good, but the noodles were bathed in oil.
