Pretty standard sushi and Chinese. I had the Chirashi sushi which was 8 pieces of sushi on top of rice - good fish, definitely fresh and tasty. My bf's red pepper shrimp and pineapple was the best dish at the table - spicy and flavorful, reminded me of panang curry. My mom's "creaky chicken", a house special, looked and tasted a lot like general tso's... not sure what makes it creaky! And my dad's volcano beef was extra spicy and peppery upon request The staff were all very friendly, and it was fairly quiet especially for a Saturday night. Nothing special about this place, but definitely a good option for sushi or Chinese in Burlington. read more

The worst customer service experience ever! I was calling for a delivery food, and the woman who picked up the phone was rude and psycho, asking me to go the hell kind of words... wtf! Never met someone crazy and stupid like that before. So disappointed about this restaurant, and will never go visit again. read more

Came here the other day for our anniversary the food was good but the service leaves something to be desired well not rude or anything service is slow and never once we're we asked how our meal was I mean maybe take out next time read more

Asian Bistro - Chinese Near Me - Williston, Vermont

We ordered delivery. The food arrived quickly, but it didn't taste good. The chicken had an odd taste; I can't even explain it. The lo mein and scallion pancake were both very dry. For the prices, I expected better quality. I won't be eating food from Asian Bistro again. read more

Had lunch at Asian Bistro today. Started out OK, but dipped to mediocre quick. I ordered the Kung Pao chicken lunch with a shrimp eggroll. The lunch plates come with a soup and chicken salad. The Hot and Sour soup i chose was good, but pretty spicy. Not a big deal for me, but for sensitive folks it might be a bit much. The "chicken salad" is some iceberg lettuce with a little bit of chicken on top. Not ground breaking, but this fairly simple, pre-dressed salad is actually VERY good. Little did I know would become the highlight of this meal. The shrimp eggroll was a little soggy and not the greatest I've ever had. The Kung Pao chicken dish was where things really unraveled. It would better be described as Salted Kung Pao Chicken. Not only was it very salty, but the mystery chicken bits (cant think of any better description) where previously fried and burnt slightly during that process which was pretty evident. On a side note, the price is low. My meal, including an iced tea was only a tick over $10. With a little bit of work on the food (atmosphere and cleanliness are decent) this place could increase a couple stars easy. read more

We order from Asian Bistro regularly. The owner is friendly and helpful. our household has a couple of food allergies including gluten and dairy. They offer lots of fresh, tasty options and adapt dishes to make them work for us. read more

Came here with a group of friends for an early Friday night dinner. Service was initially a little slow, it took about 10 minutes for a waiter to come to our table. After that, though, we were served our entrees within 15 minutes of placing our order, and the waiters came by the table often enough that we didn't feel forgotten. Portions were nice and big. I got the house special lo mein, which was very good. I asked for it extra spicy, and I could've used a little more chili oil, but it wasn't mild either. There were some flies in the restaurant but it was nothing that impacted our meal. Beer prices were very cheap, which was a nice plus. Overall, barring some mild annoyances, it was a very nice experience! read more

The food was great however the service was absolutely terrible..my cousin is allergic to lobster and mentioned it to the waiter and he literally said "then don't order something with lobster" as if she didn't already know not to. She mentioned it so during preparation they wouldn't cross contaminate. Awful service. Probably won't be back. read more

See all

Recently went here for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't try the sushi, but the chinese food is a notch above every other take out place in the area, that I've had. I got fried dumplings, szechuan shrimp, and mongolian beef. Everything was well seasoned and full of flavor they even used the whole dried peppers in the dishes to add a solid kick of spice, which is something I would expect from a more upscale restaurant. I ordered take out online and it was a breeze and was ready when I went to pick up it. I will say this however, I also recently tried the winooski location and got the exact same dishes. DO NOT GO TO THE ONE IN WINOOSKI. The difference in the quality of the food was like night and day. If I didn't know any better I would think these are completely different restaurants but the decor suggested otherwise. From reading other reviews on here I question whether the 2 and a half stars is merited for this place. I would venture to guess that some of these people may have eaten at the winooski location. read more

The Asian Bistro is my low cost, yet pretty good food and service, go to option. It's not a place to take out-of-state relatives you want to impress. It's the restaurant you go to because you don't feel like cooking tonight. They are traditionally understaffed so tables will remain uncleaned for a disappointing period of time. The atmosphere is also a bit bleak. Even so, it's still a solid 2.5 in my book. read more

The menu is very expansive, offering Chinese staples, Thai and sushi. I get a real Jack of all trades, master of none vibe from this place. Sushi was okay - just average. Average taste, average presentation. Prices are a bit expensive for the quality of what you're getting. read more

Asian Bistro - Interior - Chinese Near Me - Williston, Vermont

Terrible customer service. I ordered takeout online today not a huge order either. When I went to go pick it up it took 20 minutes for someone to even bother to help me. I don't understand how they can't hear their obnoxiously loud front door every time someone walks in. So once one of the employees asked me if I needed to order I informed him that I placed an online order to which he quickly states he has no online orders. He then under his breath goes what is wrong with our online ordering and then just stands there staring at me like I'm some alien from another planet. I ask him are you sure you don't have my order and he just shakes his head and again awkwardly stares at me...no apology or concern for my invisible order apparently. I then proceeded to tell him forget it and walked out as he continued to just stare at me. I honestly don't understand how this restaurant manages to stay open when the employees have no idea how to run a restaurant. I won't be continuing to give this place my business but by how I was treated I don't think they really care. read more

Sweetheart roll and the combination fried rice was really good. We would order it again.

There food is amazing, has good drinks alcohol and non alcohol, nice waiters and nice seating.

Friendly quick service and tasty food. I had the ginger chicken which was very good. The servers are quick and informative. A nice step up from the usual take out place. read more

i love the sushi!! great place for a quiet dinner, the atmosphere is really calm and intimate. the owner is the nicest guy, take out is really great and fast too. reasonable prices with a vast menu. good drinks, the specials always sound so tasty. my go-to asian cuisine restaurant. the location is perfect for date night, stop here for dinner and then see a movie at majestic 10! read more

Mix of Asian food: Japanese, Chinese, they do it all...just not well done. Four people, four dinners, none were good. Sushi was bland, Kung Pao Chicken soggy, rice dry.,, you get the feeling everything's cooked/prepared earlier and just reheated/served up. Service was good. People were nice read more

I really like the sushi here! There are only a couple places in the area that have sushi and this is the one I prefer. They are quick for orders and the sushi is a good size and very tasty! read more

This is definitely the best sushi in Vermont that I've uncovered. The Chinese is good but the sushi is something special considering the total lack of great sushi in the region... and so fresh!?!?! I don't know what it is but I've been telling all the local sushi fans to check it out. Recently I had this opinion corroborated by a picky guy who lived in Japan. His disbelief was as palpable as mine! They bring a special sushi chef on Sunday night and roll out some serious goodies. Get yourself over to this unexpected surprise across from the Williston Majestic movie theater?!?! read more

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. worst sushi ive ever had. everything looked old and far from fresh.. scorpion bowl had no alcohol in in it except for the 151 in the volcano that they light. it was like i was drinking orange juice. contemplated dine and ditching, was not worth 60 bucks. afterwards was nervous i was gonna have food poisoning. now i know why we were the only ones in there. fuck this place DO NOT GO HERE. i predict they will be out of business by the end of the year read more

Good restaurant and good foods(The rice isn't good enough for me). I do eat oftentimes up there

Only because of the wait staff. The food is very, very good. We went in for lunch this past weekend. The wait staff are the saddest people I have ever seen. The man who brought us to our seat never smiled, mumbles and you got the feeling is wasn't happy to see us and he doesn't want to work there. The waitress was the same way. The sadness just waifed off of her. She never smiled, didn't make eye contact, and it made us feel awkward being there. If these people don't want to work there, they shouldn't. If it's a family business and they are being made to work there, their attitudes are going to drive away business. I'll order out next time, so I don't have to encounter this again. read more

Good location but poor service and the subpar food was a disappointment. The restaurant was not very busy with many empty tables. Had to flag down a waiter after waiting over 10 minutes for a waiter to show at our table. Only saw him again when he delivered our food and drinks, then had to flag him down again to ask for the check. No refills of water, no checking to see if our meals were ok. He didn't seem surprised when he asked if we wanted boxes for our mostly uneaten meals and we said no. They seem very disinterested in their customers. Food was bland and lacking the fresh, flavorful taste of Thai food. read more

Eh, it's kind of an 'I could live without it place'. The food is just alright, pretty standard sushi and Asian fare. They have a decent lunch special if you are looking to save some money but it's better spent somewhere else. The atmosphere is pretty much non existent seeing as no one is ever in there. It's more of a convenient place to eat while you are shopping in Williston. read more

Food took forever to come out, even though the place was almost empty besides us. When sushi did arrive, there was a huge piece of hair on my sushi. Sent it back and left, totally lost my appetite, yuck! read more

Bad service. The hostess sat us right away. After 20 minutes, I asked the hostess if our server knew we were there. She said yes, so we waited for another 10 minutes and we left. read more

I have been here a few times before but tonight I went with a few friends and had the worst experience of our lives. Felt very violated! Our server reached over the table and slapped my arm, I believe to be in a joking way. But was not okay at all! He would not leave us alone, leaned over the booth in a creepy way more than once. The food is great but I would never recommend sitting and dining. The service is terrible and very inappropriate. read more

The food was surprisingly good. I recommend the Mongolian beef. It's a little expensive during dinner, but they have a lunch menu from 11am-2pm. read more

Absolutely love this place! I have dined in and also ordered to go and I am always so pleased with how fast my food is ready. Delicious fresh sushi and friendly staff. read more

It's a big restaurant and it was empty. Kind of says it all really. Our food arrived before our drinks! Again, this might just say it all. The food was nice for what it was but in terms of a speciality Asian food it missed the mark. I think they are struggling to identify what dish is from where. I've had far worse than this but I still wouldn't go back! read more

Inexpensive lunch specials which are fine for the price. The most notable thing about this place, however, is its rude, impatient wait staff. read more

We were seated right away, our drinks and food order were also taken quickly, however, our waiter disappeared, we waited 25 minutes for our food and drink refills. After the long wait, the food I have to admit was very good, the miso soup had tons of tofu and the sushi was also very good. Definitely be back when in VT again, hopefully we'll get another waiter. read more

I give it a 4 only cause our waiter was very slow if not a 5 would be it. The sushi was excellent. It was very fresh and outstanding. We had the sweetheart roll and the tuna was fresh. Will definitely visit there again when in VT. read more

quick service and cheap prices, but not the best chinese i've ever had. two stars. i came here on a tuesday for lunch. the place was pretty empty, so i was seated immediately and the server came out right away. i was pleased to see how reasonably priced the lunch menu is -- i had cashew chicken and got out of there for less than $8 (tax and tip included). nice! but you get what you pay for. the dish was saturated with sauce and the rice it came with was very bland (supposedly fried rice -- i couldn't taste anything, though). i'd recommend this place if you want some quick and cheap eats. if you're looking for an authentic chinese experience, though, i'd be hardpressed to recommend asian bistro. read more

Decent sushi maki: not bad but nothing to rave about. Tried the crab rangoon from the appetizers and it was not good. Can't comment on the other items from the Chinese food menu. I got takeout so no thoughts on the in-dining service but it seemed slow in there. It has a small bar you can have a drink at, if you are waiting. Overall, OK, not great. read more

Best place for sushi in Williston! Reasonably priced for quality and quantity. Spent around $100 for two, that was 6 rolls and some Saki.

It's hard to find good sushi in Vermont. I don't usually feel like going into Burlington for dinner, so I go to Asian Bistro instead. I've ordered out a few times too. I give them 4 stars because service is great and the sushi is good. I will return! read more

Enjoyed a nice dinner of ginger chicken with brown rice. Very good. Could not eat it all after having the hot and sour soup and sushi/spring roll apps. too! Yummy! The service was polite and very attentive to our needs. My place to go for Asian food. read more

Good food, nice people. Waitstaff was quiet but attentive. Wait time for food was reasonable. We got the Kung Pao chicken and the Mock Eel and both had beautiful presentation and were tasty. We will come back again. read more

The sushi here is pretty good. Waitstaff tends to be reclusive but are always polite.
