    Jumbo Kalbi Tang ( )
    Andy R.

    The Kalbi Tang was good, but I thought the portion was small for the price and they barely gave you any banchan. The fried gyoza was solid. This is a self serve establishment.

    We found this place by chance as we were driving through Princeton and were craving Jajangmyun. Found Asian Bistro on Yelp and it really is a hidden gem! Asian Bistro doesn't look like much on the outside, but its very clean and has a great and unique way of service. You order food at the counter and they buzz you once you're ready. Iced water and hot water are complimentary and you have the option to get soft drinks and tea. They also provide bottle openers so you can BYOB. We wanted to try a few things being our first time here. The Seafood/Scallion pancake was super crispy and had lots of shrimp and octopus in it! Very delicious! We also got an order Jajangmyun (Black Bean Noodles) and it was one of the better ones I've had in the Central NJ area. The noodles had lots of veggies and some nice chunks of pork belly in it. Last we ordered the Hwe Dup Bap which is a mix of salad, rice and sashimi topped off with spicy gochujang. Again, super delicious and refreshing. It was a nice balance from the heavier noodle dish. We saw lots of people eating in and taking out. There are plenty of seats available indoors and the bathrooms were very clean. Make sure you tip appropriately once you pay! Food service is very quick and they bus your tables for you after your done.

    Codfish stew and spider roll!

    Was my first time back in a year or so and the menu is very different, though same restaurant set up and process to order. The general Tsos chicken bento box was amazing! Great portions and such great flavor and texture of the chicken and various side dishes. The veggie kimbap was yummy and went well with the other parts of the box. As always, service was great and we'll be be back soon!

    Bibimbob

    Korean restaurant @ Princeton Junction, NJ, Had early lunch, hot stone beef bibimbob. It wasn't so bad but didn't taste much of beef. You order and pay at the counter then when the buzzer rings, you will go and pick up your food.

    Found this place on google since we were craving korean food and were honestly surprised at how delicious everything was. They actually serve other asian cuisine dishes like thai, japanese and chinese as well. We got the kalbi bento box which was very delicious! It came with japchae, salad, kimbap and a small fried fish? The fried fish was so light and delicious. The scallion pancake was amazing and probably my favorite dish. It was super flavorful and had a good amount of seafood in it. The service was pretty quick. You order at the counter, they give you a buzzer and you pick up your food when it goes off. They have complimentary water, but you can also buy drinks as well. The bathrooms are very clean as well. They have lunch specials on weekdays too!

    Great korean food here (they also offer japanese and chinese dishes, among others). The bulgogi was very sweet and savory. I wish they had given me a bit more rice- ended up running out of rice and still had half the bulgogi left. I would recommend the jajangmyeon if you're unsure of what to get. It's my usual go to order, and the quality is consistently good.

    I was in the area and the day was freezing. A hot and warm korea soup would fit the day, I found this restaurant on Yelp, happy to see it offered Korean dishes mixed in Japanese and Chinese dish. Then I saw the photo of Hwe Dup Bap, looks like Korean version of Chirashi (they offered Chirashi). Decided to order a take out. They gave generous portion. It is similar to Japanese Chirashi, twisted with the lettuce addition and use of sesame dressing. I also ordered soft tofu soup. I categorize this restaurant as neighborhood restaurant. It is serving home made style dishes. The one that the family will go to when no one wants to cook for the day, or have a long chat with close friends over meal. I would like to try out more dishes if I am in the area again.

    Kimchi fried rice

    Authentic, flavorful Korean food. We had black bean noodles, pan fried pork, kimchi fried rice and bibimbap. Everything was delicious!

    Soft Tofu Stew with Beef
    Lilian X.

    Objectively, this isn't the most life-changing Korean food I've ever had. However, since it's hard to find good Korean food in Princeton in general, Asian Bistro is definitely a go-to locally. My family and I have been going here for years, and the food is consistently a hit. The owners are super sweet as well, and the restaurant is very cozy.

    Pork Katsu Bento box (

    Came here during dinner and found the ambience very pleasant and relaxing. The space is clean and comfortable for a quiet dinner, the pork katsu with japchae was very delicious. Service was prompt and pleasant

    Beef japchae, miso soup, seaweed salad and squid bibimbap.
    Jerry P.

    Delivery Review: All in all, a very disappointing meal. My wife had a hankering for Korean, and cuisine that is sadly underserved in our area. Asian Bistro came up in our search and we decided to roll the dice. We ordered Beef Japchae, Squid Bibimbap, Seaweed Salad and a Spicy Tuna Roll. The japchae was...fine? The beef was extremely sparse and overall the dish lacked flavor. Same went for the bibimbap. Light on the squid, heavy on the veggies, and the egg was clearly precooked and thrown on top well after the fact. At least there was an ample amount of gochujang to give the dish some flavor. The seaweed salad was a quarter of a head of lettuce topped with a small scoop of seaweed. The attempt to make the paltry serving size appear greater failed. Too bad, because the small amount of seaweed present was actually quite good. Saving the worst for last, the spicy tuna roll was bizarre. After being greeted by an utterly flavorless mass in my first bite, I decided to dissect the next portion before eating it. The tuna itself was minced rather than diced, and had no other ingredients added. Just a small quantity of minced low quality tuna doused in what was supposed to be spicy mayo. Neither of us opted to eat any more of the roll, and for either my wife or I to turn down any sushi of any kind under any circumstance is quite the indictment. In summary, the quest for Korean food in our area continues.

The broth was deep and flavorful. - Pork belly Donburi - 4.5/5 stars The juicy tender pork belly was plentiful, sliced perfectly as their we're not too thick nor paper thin. Their flavor was rich, savory with a balance of sweetness from the soy dashi sauce. Elegantly layered in top of a humongous bowl of seasoned rice, along with a sprinkle of scallions, pickled radishes, and sesame seeds. The photo on their menu does not do it justice. I would have loved a jammy egg to be included to bring the dish to the next level. - Gyoza - 3.5/5 stars 5 pieces of Pan-fried gyoza dumplings with their dumpling sauce. I would prefer them to have been fried a bit more. The balance between their pork and cabbage was even. They were delightfully light in both taste and texture. The service was very good.

I recently visited with a huge group of about 20 colleagues for a farewell lunch, and Mizu handled our massive party flawlessly. The star of the show was their lunch special. You can get two 6-piece rolls (basic options like tuna, salmon, and California) for just $11 or three 6-piece rolls for $13. Both options come with a fresh green salad and hot miso and tofu soup. I had the three-roll lunch special with Spicy Tuna, Spicy Salmon, and Spicy Yellowtail rolls.. all of the rolls tasted great and the freshness of the ingredients was obvious. Other folks in our party enjoyed the tempura shrimp and vegetable appetizer, which were freshly flash-fried and crispy, and bento boxes of teriyaki chicken. The quality and value at Mizu are both amazing. What really blew me away, though, was the service. Taking care of 20 people at once during a busy lunch rush is no easy feat, but the kitchen didn't miss a beat. They stepped it up a notch and got everyone's appetizers and entrees out incredibly fast. Everyone ate together, the orders were perfectly accurate, and the staff was so attentive.

All were excellent, the sort of food that makes conversation pause because mouths are busy being grateful. My father in law ordered what I personally considered a cautious breakfast. Regular pancakes with eggs and bacon. A meal that could have been assembled in any roadside diner between here and forever. Yet even this was handled with care. The eggs were perfect, the bacon honest, the pancakes dignified. No irony, no shortcuts. Yes, the prices are a little steep. But this is not a place for routine nourishment. This is a place for occasions, for birthdays, for reminding yourself that breakfast can aspire to something like art. Five stars, because sometimes the world surprises you by getting something exactly right.

The fries and burger from the grill are greasy and indulgent enough to satisfy the naughtiest of my cravings, and the carne asada from the burrito station quite literally knocked my socks off the first few bites. What must not be missed are the David's cookies, on display in a bright case for all to see. At the beginning of a busy night, hundreds of these cookies are piled in only to be soon devoured by hungry underclassmen. These cookies have single handedly defined my Princeton experience. By far the best commercially available chocolate chunk cookie I've even, some of my best nights and worst nights on campus have been accompanied by anywhere from 3-8 of these morsels of heaven. A bite of these cookies causes minor cookiegasm in the consumer, and is sure to remind any faint cookie connoisseur what true love is. As a rising upperclassmen who will lose the infamous "Late Meal" benefit of the dining plan, I will by far miss these cookies the most. Lastly, the workers are great. They're there to serve you food and make sure you keep a smile on my face. A few days ago, I decided to risk it for the biscuit and go for the Kathi Roll from the grill (forking DELICIOUS). The grill attendant picked one up from the tray and tossed it on the flame, only soon to diagnose it as too stale to serve. With the gusto of Curry shooting from three, he picked that jawn up with his tongs and yeeted it straight across the room without a second thought, leaving me baffled and amazed. Last night, the grill attendant deviously tried to bribe me for my 16 inch cheesesteak, what a sly guy!! Just today, the cashier went through her typical rounds of asking me how many cookies I was carrying out in the plain, brown, nondescript Frist cookie bag. Too embarrassed to share the real number I was harboring, I went with a casual five. With a grin on her face, she remarked "I don't care how many you got in there Sugar, do well on your exams." This attitude is precisely what makes Frist the haven it is. Quick, delicious, accessible, and affordable food for students who sometimes just need to indulge in something that they'll feel sitting in their stomach for hours to come. For better or for worse, much of my first two years at Princeton will be remembered by late nights at Frist winding down on the rickety wooden chairs with some good nomz to keep me going.
