A mixed experience at The Asian Bistro.
While the Tom Kha stood out with its exceptional taste, the service left much to be desired.
A prolonged wait for the wonton noodle soup, unfulfilled promises of a discount, and a generally lackluster service overshadowed the decent quality of the food.
Not sure I would come back given that we got this level of service while only having a few people in.

Great experience and good food! I want to make it brief and easy to understand! The service, food, and beverages were all really good! The only thing I can really critique is the pricing, which felt a little high, but I didn't mind too much because I was enjoying my meal and the environment. Would I return??? Definitely!

This review is literally so painful for me to write but what the hell happened to this place? I’ve been a loyal customer for 8+ years and the last few orders i’ve had have been really, really poor.
I figured I’d stick with them still and hope it was a rough patch but today my chicken pad thai was somehow burnt.
The noodles were insanely gummy and only the top layer of the order was edible.
The underneath layers were a deep gray, almost black.
Not to mention my last few orders have been neon orange and they never used to be? I called and I do so appreciate that they refunded me, but as I tried to salvage the top layer I found multiple hairs embedded in the noodles.
I’m genuinely depressed.
RIP to my go to spot.
