Very welcoming family-owned business and my food was incredible. Highly recommend the Kung Pao- I combined proteins.

The service wasn't great. They weren't rude but they take your order, bring the food, and bring the check that's it! Also Melody made a comment about 3 years ago and the same thing happened to me. I should've read the reviews before going here but I didn't and that was my fault. I went and got two sushi rolls. They were pretty bland so I ate a couple pieces. Tried to dunk them in soy sauce, but then I started feeling bad so I ate about half a roll paid for my food. They kept asking me was anything wrong and did I like it? I was honest with them and told them it wasn't good, but I didn't really feel like arguing for a redo or refund. I just wanted to pay and get out of here since my stomach was hurting and I had to vomit. read more

Terrible food. My fam lives near by and got take out. One of worst food I've had in my life. It's criminally bad that I almost spat out.

Not the best food in the world, but the prices are incredible and the value is unmatched. Highly recommend if you can't afford to spend $25+ per person. read more

The freshest and most delicious sushi in Vermont. The Chinese dishes are so yummy and the portions are very generous. My family has been eating at Asian Bistro since they opened. We have family celebrations at their restaurant and have had them cater private parties. As soon as you walk in to the restaurant you will always get a friendly and warm welcome. They have a huge take out business , but that never interferes with the in house table service. So many times I have run into friends and people l know dining at the same time as myself at the Asian Bistro. I Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. read more

Amazing food and great service, genuinely have never had anything from here that I didn't like. My favorite Asian place in Burlingotn

We were on Route 89 and stopped here for lunch and had the sushi lunch. It includes soup and salad. Sushi had good quality fish . Service was prompt and courteous. Comfortable booths and tables and cloth napkins. This was a nice change from the burger joints and fast food off route 89. read more

I just moved to the area and was really craving some Chinese food and sushi, I made a huge mistake ordering from here. I didn't really have any issues with their customer service as there was minimal interaction, the food is... well keep reading to find out. I ordered Kung Pao Chicken, Crab Rangoon (they called it like crab meat wonton or something), Spicy yellow tail, Spicy tuna, and Philadelphia rolls. I ate the Chinese portion of it for lunch and the Kung Pao Chicken was breaded - I have been to innumerable Chinese food places and never once has it been breaded, it was also really sweet vs spicy which is how it's supposed to taste. The Crab Rangoon was 99.9% cream cheese and the tiniest minced crab meat I spotted in 1/6 of them. Where this goes really south though is the "Sushi" which I ate a few hours later for dinner (I had put it in the fridge in the meantime). I posted a picture so everyone else can see, it looks like the tuna and yellow tail were minced or something not actual whole pieces of fish wrapped in a maki roll. It also didn't taste that good, it didn't taste like it'd gone bad or anything, just not good - same for the Philadelphia roll which looks like they might've actually used small whole pieces of salmon for. Where this goes even further south is that within 10 minutes of eating this I felt really, really sick - and then spent the next 5-10 minutes vomiting profusely all of the sushi I had just consumed. This tells me that the fish that was used was not "good" in the sense that it'd gone bad, and I don't think the 4 hours in my fridge are what prompted that. I am NEVER eating here again, and strongly encourage others to follow my lead unless you want to risk food poisoning. read more

Ordered crispy spring rolls, hot and sour soup, and Mongolian Beef. Requested a side of red chili oil/sauce, received Sriracha. (Contacted by restaurant, they don't have red chili oil, so they sent Sriracha). No spice at all to the soup, and the eggrolls were soggy. Mongolian Beef is tasty, and the rice is well, rice. Overall, I wouldn't necessarily recommend, but I'd try it again, based purely on the responsiveness of the restaurant. read more

JUST NOT THAT GOOD We stopped in here with high expectations. My wife had the Lo Mein with Beef and I had the Creaky Chicken. She felt her noodles were okay, but my chicken was drenched in a sweet syrupy sauce and was literally gross. Do not order this item! While we were there ear-piercing sirens went off and didn't stop. The staff was of no help, so we boxed up our meals and left. Food - 2 1/2 stars Ambiance - 3 stars Service - 1 1/2 stars Value - 2 stars read more

First time ordering take out from this place. The ONLY good thing was the fast delivery of the food. But other then that not impressed with the quality and food taste for how expensive it was. ~ When ordering the Beef Lo Mein we asked for no veggies cause it was for our child. They refused to make it without veggies. This made me feel like they were giving us already made/ old food and I should have listened to my gut cause it was dry and had no flavor. ($7.95) ~ Also ordered two grab rangoons and wasn't expecting to get tiny greasy balls with little to nothing in it. ($6.50 for 6) ~ Pork fried rice seemed to be the best item that tasted like it's supposed too. ($7.95) ~ Ordered some pork ribs. Was disappointed in how little they were and tough to eat. (Gave them to my cat and he happily cuddled and ate the rubs) We also ordered two dishes we've never had before just to try it. I got the Kung Pao Chicken w/ Peanuts. It had A LOT of chicken and celery. Not sure if this is how the dish is made but I would have liked more mixed veggies w/ sauce in it. ($10.50) My husband got the Phoneix Seafood Deluxe. Every piece was thickly coated in bread and lots of sauce. Again, not sure if this is how the dish is supposed to be made but he didn't like it. I couldn't try the dish cause of being pregnant. ($17.95) Overall wasn't impressed with the quality of food for how expensive it was. Especially the Crab Rangoons. Most disappointed there. We honestly won't buy food here again, but that doesn't mean you're experience won't be ours. read more

Their food is amazing. Large portions with plenty of flavor & 'heat' without specifying spicy. Ambiance is meh, but the food makes up for it. And the fact that you can eat in, instead of the car or hotel, even better. read more

Asian Bistro has very good sushi, but my past order warranted a less than glowing review for a couple reasons. First, my one roll and two different sashimis arrived two hours after I initially ordered. I had to call the restaurant twice to check on it. The first call I was told the driver was already on the way, and then I had to call 35 minutes later when they never showed up and was told once again they were already on their way. An hour is long but understandable, but two hours for sushi is crazy. Second, the menu stated the sashimi was three pieces, when it arrived it was two pieces. Not to mention it was nigiri not sashimi. I loved the Shrimp tempura roll and the fish itself tasted good, but this experience was less than stellar. read more

The waitress was pushy and rushing us to the point none of our 4 person table had the chance to finish our sentence before she was pulling the menus out from under our arms. The food presentation was not what I would have hoped. I was so hoping this was going to be amazing! My son was extremely happy with his fried rice on a brighter note! read more

Asian Bistro - Garlic curry shrimp - Asian Fusion Near Me - Winooski, Vermont

I violated my rule about ordering Chinese Food in a place where there are no Chinese people. I paid the price. This food is downright awful. No seasoning, absolutely tasteless. I still don't understand why this is so. Can't they even find an authentic recipe to follow? Hello Vermont I can assure you that this is not actual Chinese food, and if you think it is, you need to visit a coastal city with a Chinese population. So bad. read more

The food tasted ok but a little bland for my taste. Decent portions with decent pricing.

It's better to do take outs. I personally love the Mongolian beef but they always forget my chili sauce sigh. Don't order sushi, overpriced for its size and quality. Don't order fried rice either, just oily with no flavor. Overall, decent location :) read more

I have been going to Asian Bistro for years. The service is incredibly friendly and almost has a family feel. The food is always fresh and delicious. Their sushi is fantastic and the Mongolian beef is great. I highly recommend. read more

The order arrived early. I had the General Tsaos chicken, pork fried rice and spare ribs. Everything was delicious!

There is no comparison between this Asian Bistro and the one of the same name in Williston. I had their sushi a couple of weeks back, and thought it was an off day. Today confirms that I will never order sushi from them again, or anything else for that matter. I ordered the eel cucumber and spicy salmon rolls. The eel was practically non-existent, and the only flavor came through was the cucumber - the expected flavorful sauce was missing. Just the texture of cucumber and chewy rice. The spicy salmon was worst. The salmon had a grainy texture and was flavorless. There was a thick gooey sauce. I've included a photo of the spicy salmon roll opened up, so you could see the gooey colorful flavorless supposed spicy salmon. Never again. read more

The one big motivating factor for me visiting here was airline miles. That's right, I had to complete some spend and this was a participating restaurant. I should've chosen somewhere else. This place is the mix of American Chinese cuisine with a dash of sushi to cater to the American public. On a Friday night, tables were full, but only 3 people were working the floor. As such, service was dismally slow. After 10 minutes, I finally managed to get water. I ordered the sashimi dinner for $19.50, which came with soup and salad. For the person that has had a fair amount of sushi, it's immediately noticeable that what they serve here is subpar. I am almost entirely sure the miso soup came out of a packet mixed with hot water. The salad was decent, crisp and cold. The sashimi dinner was a 20 piece set with rice. I won't get into the semantics of frozen fish, as nearly all sushi fish are frozen. You simply cannot get fresh fish with the variety presented. The white tuna was not true white tuna, but the cheaper escarole. The sabe was yummy, but it's hard to mess that up. It's often imported pre-marinated and frozen. The tuna was not defrosted properly - too watery. The salmon, eel, and yellow tail were okay. You can tell that the sushi "chef" here isn't really one. The fish was cut into squarish chunks and the ragged edges call for a knife sharpening. Overall, I got my miles. I wish I chose some place tastier. read more

Asian Bistro - Sashimi Dinner - Asian Fusion Near Me - Winooski, Vermont

We order takeout from here often since it's just down the street and always meets our expectations, but last night we dined in and were blown away by how amazing everything (especially sushi and tempura) was when served immediately and at the ideal temperature. We'll definitely dine in more often, especially since we now know that sake is pretty tasty! read more

Don't eat here. We went in for lunch. The tables and silverware were filthy. If you're looking for food poison this place will do it. The fish was black and gross, and you will need to still pay for rotten food. McDonalds is a better option. Not to mention the rude staff. read more

I'm really easy to please, all I care about is that the food is good, or at least worth the price. They missed parts of the order, and the parts I received were very small portions. It's also more than double the price it should be. Honestly guys, I would buy food from anywhere but here. This is the worst place I've ordered from. read more

We love the sushi! The service can be kind of slow, but the food is great. They always have a good amount of protein and vegetables in their dishes. read more

I order via Grubhub all the time from them. Food is great, is something they have it out of stock they call right away to tell you.

I'm absolutely in love with the sushi but the customer service very much caught me off guard. The waitress was very rude! I was eating and she took my plate away. The restaurant itself is amazing but the waitresses needs to be checked. read more

Lo mein had a strange after taste and sushi was just ok. I've had better from here! Step It up! read more

Best Asian food in town IMO, consistent quality, very kind staff, certainly a staple of Winooski. It's cool to dine in, too, their location is gorgeous and their sushi chef does impeccable work. You can really study their menu to find your favorite sushi here, and get it often. Boston Red Roll, crab Rangoons & I'm a happy man. read more

The best Chinese food I have had since moving to Vermont!! The service was incredible. Right to the door and they quality checked the food. There was one small leak and they offered to bring a whole new meal. Amazing and delicious!! read more

Everyone saying this place is overpriced are correct. Even if the food was halfway decent it would be overpriced, but it's also meh to bad. The sashimi was clearly frozen at some point (and still SUPER cold when served) and probably the worst I've ever had. The miso soup was somehow barely lukewarm and a bizarre flavor that was not good (cheap china buffets have better miso than this!). And the side salad came with a giant glob of mayo on top that just made me feel gross. I'm baffled that this place is somehow still operational tbh. Maybe they sucker just enough tourists to keep the lights on but it's pretty obvious why no one was there. Go literally anywhere else. read more

This place was so dirty. The floors were full of crap! Wrappers, dirt, etc. looked like it hadn't been cleaned in like a year! My family and I ordered a Pepsi all of us, and it tasted awful like bleach and pinesol CLEANER! We had cold food and pre heated things. I will NEVER EVER WISH ANYONE to eat this place! Disgusting. I would like to rate it a 0. I have not stopped puking since I ate it! read more

I typically order from this place. Food is OKAY. Coming from NJ my expectation for all "ethnic" food in BVT is very high and near impossible to satisfy. At any rate, I placed an order tonight and began cleaning my apartment out--when I finally get a knock on my door the delivery man was extremely rude. He handed me the bag and told me "to check my phone, i called multiple times." OK. I thought that was abrupt. I checked my phone and had not only received several calls but a slew of text messages that pissed me off so much I made a Yelp account to post a review about it. "Hi I am out side From Asian bistro Or I have to take food back to restaurant I already called like 6 times I called and can't stay here all night have others to deliver Contact restaurant" Wtf is this? I'm sorry but when I order takeout I don't sit by my phone like a telethon volunteer. I expect a knock on my door and at least SOME semblance of professionalism. I am still furious at this string of text messages. I will probably never order from this place again. Good work. read more

In college, we used to frequent the Williston restaurant so we were excited to try out the Winooski location. The space is very open and was rathe empty given how bustling the rest of the Winooski Circle was. There is a small chained off area on the sidewalk for outdoor seating which we opted for since it was such a beautiful evening. The host was very welcoming and seated us outside but after he left we were left alone for a while before a waitress emerged from the restaurant. We ordered drinks and food and waited a decent amount of time before deciding we would head inside for a booth in hopes of more attentive service. The host who sat us originally was super nice about our switch and the service picked up. The food was presented well and was decent, though one of the orders (beef lo mein) came out chicken lo mein instead. Overall, a pretty okay experience. There was a decent number of people picking up food so take out seems to be a pretty popular choice. Favorites of the evening: get the creaky chicken (still don't really know why it's creaky but it's tasty) and a hot sake! read more

Worse Chinese food ever. Everything was salty and too much sauce. My husband and I wanted to go to Tiny Thai but it was crowded. We should have waited the extra 20 minutes to get a table. They don't chop their own vegetables. Frozen peas, carrots, etc. in cheap sugary and salty sauces. The Phoenix-Dragon dish was horrific; chicken was rubbery and the lobster was crappy tail pieces. They can't even cook brown rice! For $17.50 all we got was stomach aches and food poisoning. The place hardly had anyone, which should have tipped us off. The sushi was average and the sushi rice was poor. One should worry when they have 50 dishes of different Asian cuisines. They really don't make anything here except straight from the freezer. As an Asian this place is an insult to my palate. This place needs to be shut down. The only people who give this place a thumbs up are people who must be eating the crappy American Chinese take-out food. I would not trust their judgement on food. read more

I got takeout here the other day - awful. I ordered the special pineapple fried rice, which is a dish I love when I get it elsewhere. It smelled of old fish, had barely any pineapple and was expensive. I had to throw most of it away, it was that bad. Plus, check out their health code violations... http://healthvermont.gov/apps/restaurant_scores/RestaurantDetail.aspx?id=19339 read more

This is a lower quality Chinese Restaurant. Peking Duck down the street has much better tasting food and a cleaner nicer dining room. Went for a Friday night quick dinner - Wonton Soup - salty, meat was cold in center Sesame Chicken - $12.50 - seemed pricey for the eight pieces of thin chicken, only 3 pieces of broccoli, side of steamed rice was mushy. I'm not a sushi fan, but the plates others had looked very good Eatable, but I won't be back as there are better choices. read more

The food wasn't very good, quite frankly. It was delivered relatively quickly, but they left out a drink we had ordered, and we really didn't enjoy most of the food we ordered. The saving grace of a second star on this review was the fried rice being pretty solid. read more

I've found the food pretty hit or miss. I think the hot dishes are pretty good--the broccoli and eggplant with garlic sauce was quite tasty. The sushi is not good, though. I've ordered a few rolls from here, and they've ranged from fine (salmon and avocado) to really bad (Boston Red Roll). It's a shame, the Burlington area could really use a good sushi place. read more

Should have avoided this place like my gut told me. A few nights before this, a friend and I went to their Williston location (also Asian Bistro) but we ended up leaving since the menu looked meh to me. I wasn't aware that these two restaurants had the same menus... But long story short, it was 3pm and Tiny Thai was closed, leaving two hungry girls desperate for some grub. She had the pad thai and ended up sending it back. It is "Chinese pad thai", according to the waitress, which was not included in the description on the menu. It was more like a soup with noodles. My friend isn't a picky eater but she had to send it back. The shrimp was also bland, to say the least. I ordered chicken with cashews; it was okay... It just looked like General Tso with some cashews thrown in though... At least they were polite about my friend's order. read more
