    It's it's pretty good food, not my favorite Thai place in town, but certainly not a place that I wouldn't look forward to going back to you again. A little on the spin of your side and other options in town but, the food is pretty good.

    I went here on Saturday for a "Find your Hiipe" private event. There is a room in the back of the restaurant that is perfect for parties and gatherings, it has its own bar back there as well. The restaurant catered all the food for this event and it was absolutely delicious. The Lo Mein noodles and spring rolls were my favorite!!

    Stopped in for lunch today with coworkers. We opted to sit at the bar, as the service seems to be much quicker and the waitress/bartender is more attentive. I went with my usual, yellow chicken curry. The food came out quickly and was served with choice of a fresh or fried spring roll. I always go with fresh, not a big fan of the texture of the fresh roll. The curry was ok. But definitely something different on this visit. There were chunks of pineapple, which I definitely don't remember ever having before. It was ok, but added a weird sweetness. Not sure I'm a big fan of this change, unless I was just given the wrong dish.

    I had the opportunity to dine once again at 98 Asian bistro this past week with a rather large group of friends. The service was impeccable, and our server was incredibly friendly, remembered all of our names and drink orders, and very unobtrusively provided service in a timely manner. The food was incredibly flavorful, if a bit on the pricey side; however the portions are more than plentiful. The Lemongrass Chicken I ordered was enough for my dinner and lunch the following day. I continue to be impressed with the food and I'm glad they have maintained a strong presence in High Point.

    Always great service there. The food is made fresh and it's the best Asian inspired food in the area for sure. They also have a huge banquet room for large parties , reunions & weddings etc.

    If I could give a place 5+ stars, this would definitely be the place! Have you ever taken a bite out of food and immediately get a tear in the eye because of how delicious and nostalgic the taste was? This was exactly how I felt when I took a bite into the Thai Fried Rice. The ingredients all blending in together so perfectly, I felt like the critic guy off of the Ratatouille movie when he had the flashback after taking a bite. The vibes in this place were absolutely relaxing and smoothing, perfect date night idea! I will absolutely be back for more

    The ambiance is so authentic - you should just go to see the inside! The chicken satay was a little cold but the cucumber dressing that it comes with lovely to dip our egg rolls in. The bartender tonight made a lychee martini that was perfectly blended, couldn't taste the alcohol but I felt it haha. Egg rolls are making me wish I worked there, just so I could eat them whenever I want. My friend got the Panang Curry Chicken which is really spicy hot and I enjoyed Tom Yum soup - the best name for it because it was yummy and perfect temperature on a cold night. We each got a fortune cookie and found out on your birthday, you can sound the large drum in the restaurant!

    I decided to check out this restaurant on my own on my way home from a day trip to Greensboro-High Point... First of all, the place was beautiful...spacious, with a nice ambiance, filled with exotic Thai decor. Also had cool overhead music. However, as to be expected from a non-metro restaurant, the volume was very conservatively set to low. Now, here's something "funky". Initially when I arrived, there was no hostess to lead me to the table...although I saw at least 2 tables full already. Instead of a proper greeting and a walk-up to a table, this rude Asian girl basically pointed me toward a table, as if to say "Go There!" (from afar!)...?!? At this point, I mentioned (from afar) that I had made a reservation via Google, and she just blurted "uh-HUH" as if to say, "I don't give a ***K!" (so no idea if she even bothered to mark me off the list or anything??). No lie..."uh-HUH" was her response! Guess you can say that I was nearly shocked at this rude welcome...especially at a restaurant that seemed so nice. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that this girl (she seemed too young to be the Owner of the restaurant itself, but who knows!) might have been a family member of the Owner or something...'cuz there's just no way a hired hostess, manager (or whatever her title!) would treat a customer like that in ANY restaurant. Luckily, my boy waitress was quite friendly and attentive. If he, too, was as rude as the girl that basically barked at me to go sit down lol, I would have just left. Anyway, I ordered this Pranang Curry dish, as well as these Shrimp Rolls appetizer. Pranang Curry had a good flavor, but it was fairly mild...not as spicy as I would have liked it. I was actually more impressed with their Shrimp Rolls. However, the lettuce on the bottom did not look fresh, as the lettuce was near yellow in color. I found that extremely shocking. Honestly, I expected to love the restaurant...but I ended up just barely liking it. I had mixed feelings, let's just say. Great Shrimp Roll appetizer, good Pranang Curry dish, but bad lettuce. Beautiful decor, friendly waiter, but horribly rude hostess service. Yep..."uh-HUH"...that was my overall impression.

    HOLY SMOKES. I can't believe we haven't been here until now. 98 Asian Bistro is a hidden gem for sure! Christian took care of us last night and made the best martinis, entree suggestions, and all around made our first visit memorable. We got the crispy green beans and chicken on a stick to start with both were great, hot and fresh along with the dipping sauces! The homemade peanut sauce was WOW!! We got the Pad Thai, Lettuce Wraps and Cashew Chicken for our entrees and we're not disappointed. The Pad Thai was hands down the best Pad Thai I've had ever, full of flavor! The lettuce wraps were great, the sauce to put on them had so much flavor. Finally the Cashew Chicken, it had good flavor and was cooked nicely. We've already determined we'll be going back.. and soon! This is the perfect Asian restaurant and the atmosphere is great. HIGHLY recommend.

    We came to 98 Asian Bistro with some friends and our kids. The dining area is spacious and there were a few large groups seated comfortably. The ambiance is elegant /casual. The service needs work as there were some delays with our food. Our main dishes came out but they forgot to bring my daughter's fried rice with chicken. After telling the waitress it still took 20 minutes longer to bring her food out. The food was really good and no complaints there. I asked for several to go boxes because we had a bit of food left over and when I started to put the food away another staff member comes by and starts to take away my sons almost full meal. Then when I told her I was taking that to go, she proceeded to drop the plate back on the table with three other utensils that weren't the ones my son used. I found that to be a rude gesture. They also billed us for calamari that we did not receive and when we mentioned something about that, the waitress said we are supposed to notify them before the check comes out which doesn't make any sense if they forgot to bring something out. The gratuity added to our large group tab seemed excessive over 25% for a lack of service.

    I am highly disappointed in my food tonight. I had to wait for 40 minutes for a takeout order after calling 13 times in a busy line the food is so tasteless and boring. I spent over $20 for this meal and I am disgusted I literally feel like I could have done better ordering some thing from the freezer section of Publix. My food was supposed to be medium spice and it taste like basic rice noodles with no seasoning. This is absolutely the worst pad Thai I have ever had, based on this experience, I recommend never coming to this restaurant.

    This restaurant is so beautiful inside. I love their tree and large Buddha. I have been here several times, always trying something different and I've never been disappointed! Their menu has many options from lettuce wraps to pad Thai to lo mein, all of which are my go to's! Great place for meetings as well, they have a private room. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

It's hidden away off the main stretch, but easy to get to with parking on-site. When we arrived at 5pm, the restaurant was fairly empty and they were already set up and waiting for our group reservation. We were greeted by Freya, who had a great personality and provided fantastic service all evening while we were there. Can't speak highly enough of her! They have a comprehensive wine menu and a full bar. I started with a Lemon Drop Martini which was delicious, and later had a glass of Merlot as well which was tasty as well. They had warm fresh bread on the table with butter which was great since we were all very hungry. For my meal, I ordered the Halibut Large Plate. This was a lightly crisp blackened piece of Halibut topped with lump grab and a sauce, then served atop a piece of andouille sausage, asparagus, and creamy grits. There were SO MANY flavors perfectly balanced together here with a variety of textures to enjoy as well. I have nothing but good things to say about this. Blue Water Grille is fairly expensive and not somewhere you would come regularly, but for a special outing or a date night it is a great treat. The menu is seafood heavy and non-seafood items also pack a lot of flavor, so be aware that there are limited options for that picky eater in your party who perhaps wants a more plain chicken dish. As an aside - Someone in my party got the Mac & Cheese small plate and it looked fantastic. Definitely something I'm going to order next time!

    Magnolia Blue was one of my favorite High Point eateries. Whether I went for weekend brunch or New…read moreYear's Eve dinner, I never had a bad meal there. It closed in early February for what were supposed to be renovations, only to reopen months later with a new name and a new concept, trading slightly upscale Southern for more upscale Italian. In some regards, this makes sense - it fills a void created by the closure of Lulu and Blu - but in other ways, it's a massive gamble. My wife and I went for our anniversary dinner, and while it was an overall pleasant experience, it also made us miss Magnolia. The higher price point is the chief culprit. Otto and Blue offers pastas in the $20s and entrees starting in the $30s, bread and olive oil not included. While we were celebrating an occasion that merited such a splurge, it's hard to imagine the restaurant remaining competitive at those prices once the sheen of newness wears off. Look past that, however, and Otto and Blue shines in both ambiance and service. It's classy without being stuffy, and the dark turquoise tones suit it well. Allison, a Magnolia Blue mainstay, was personable and attentive and provided excellent service throughout the meal. Otto and Blue's menu offers apps, salads, pastas, and entrees. It's predominantly Italian albeit with a few options for the steak-and-potatoes crowd. The dishes range from recognizably classic (rigatoni Bolognese) to conspicuously elevated (halibut piccatta). After mulling over several offerings, we went with the bread service, tagliatelle, and duck cacciatore. The food ranged from fairly good to outstanding. While $9 for bread is a tough pill to swallow, they executed it as well as they possibly could have: a hot, fresh ciabatta with tasty herb butter, olive relish, and a quality olive oil-balsamic combo as accompaniments. The cacciatore boasted a pair of duck legs confit, and while I'm usually no fan of dark meat poultry, these were prepared well with crispy skin and plenty of meat. For a typically hearty dish, the sauce seemed light (and a bit subdued), but that could be a consequence of serving atop polenta (more absorbent) rather than pasta. Speaking of pastas and sauces, the tagliatelle hit a nice balance of creamy and zesty without swimming in its white wine lemon sauce. Surprisingly, the highlight of the meal ended up being the dessert that Otto and Blue kindly offered as an anniversary gift. A scoop of vanilla bean gelato came adorned with a Biscoff cookie, a drizzle of olive oil, and a dash of salt. If salt and especially olive oil on ice cream seem vaguely blasphemous, don't knock it until you try it. Each bite was thoroughly delicious. It's a given that good food doesn't come cheap, but even so, Otto and Blue has no margin for error to justify what it charges. On food alone, it was close but not quite there. However, the overall experience made it worthwhile, and I have no regrets about dining here.

But as some months passed, they are no longer in Stock and Grain but in a food truck in High Point. I highly suggest following their Facebook page for dates and times where you can catch them. The service was still wonderful and the food was really good. The sweet potato cornbread is one of my favs and the chicken wings and catfish bites were fried to perfection. I love collard greens but do understand, everyone makes them differently. My family is from eastern NC so we make ours savory, theirs have a little sweetness to it. I don't mind it but this time around was so much better, it was very well balanced. The mac and cheese was delicious as well. Although not pictured, do check out their Russian tea drink.

They have other items like Rasta pasta, oxtails, pork chops, and turkey wings. I can't wait to come back and try more food. Give them a follow and check them out. You won't be disappointed.
