    Sesame chicken
    Nancy L.

    I love this place! The portions are generous and the food is very good. My husband loves the chicken pho and gets it every time. I ordered the sesame chicken with no sesame seeds. Order at the counter and wait a few minutes with a pager. This place is always busy. The food speaks for itself.

    Lo Mein Noodles

    At first Tai's really blew my socks off and I was so shocked at the amount of food they give! Over time its novelty wore off and I saw it for what it really was. The food is just alright but would be a great spot if you're either really hungry or really hungover/drunk. The noodles hit the spot but can be a bit slimy. I think the roll I ordered really killed it for me and I just haven't been back since.

    Huge portions you really can get one plate for two people Great value food is good service is New York style the ambiance of the place it is loud so if you're looking for a quiet night this is not your place but you will leave full

    Tai's Asian Bistro is a must visit everytime I'm in town. The price to portion ratio is amazing and it's not too far from OSU campus. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTroY9n3D/

    Shrimp lo mein

    The portions are enormous, but less than average in taste. It reminds me of fast food asian food at the mall. Had a bit of a stomach ache from all the grease. If you're looking for that type of food this is the place.

    Vietnamese Spring Roll (4)
    Min S L.

    A friend was in town and suggested we meet at Tai Asian Bistro to eat and catch up on the day before thanksgiving. Ordered crab rangoon (not pictured) and spring rolls. The spring rolls (pictured) were BURNT. Took one bite and could not eat anymore as they also tasted BURNT and overcooked . Their website states: At Tai's Asian Bistro and Sushi in Columbus, OH, everything is prepared with high quality, rich taste and fresh food waiting for you to be served." Yeah, not so much.

    Pad Thai

    Very large portion, bland with not taste. Noodles were falling apart there was no sauce or anything on it really.

    Crab Rangoon (4)
    Nick M.

    Love this place, one of my favorites in Columbus! Placed an online to-go order which was ready for pickup in 15 minutes even during the dinner rush. Food was delicious (always recommend the chicken pad thai which I ordered with crab rangoon). Serving size is massive too; usually enough to split or have 2 meals. Great atmosphere inside the restaurant, and a convenient location with ample parking. Will be back.

    Love the food, but it's a little chaotic to enter immediately and go up and order, there are tons of options and it would be nice if you were able to take a menu, go sit down, and then order.

    Another hidden gem within the Columbus area. Back for my yearly visit! Love this restaurant as it serve some of the best Asian cuisine in the Columbus area. They offer many different Asian style dishes and I don't think I've had a bad one yet. Got the General Tso's chicken this time around. It has a great crunch with just the right heat with it. Note if you love spicy get them extra wet. If you're looking for some punishment get them extra wet and spicy. They loved to be challenged in the kitchen. Staff is quick, nice and ready to go. Both sides of the kitchen are always booming. Yes this place does have a small seating section for sushi lovers too. Most of the sushi's I've had so far have been pretty good.

    Pho (#3, beef only)
    Stephanie L.

    What a great place!! We went for lunch after church on a Sunday afternoon and we were SO impressed!!! Huge portions, flavor bombs, fun atmosphere, and a big menu (something for everyone)! I got pho (and I'm a bit of a pho snob)...it was DELICIOUS!! Husband got a combo lo mein, it was HUGE. Mom got shrimp pad Thai, said it had more shrimp than she could eat. But my highlight was the spicy dumpling app...so unique, ginger-forward and big enough to share between the three of us. Will DEF be back soon! 10/10 recommend! I will say, it's better if you know what you're walking into. It's order-at-the-counter, and our meal was ready in phases. We decided not to be irritated about that. And it was a bit loud for us, but it's very near campus. So you know, When in Rome and all. But my goodness, please check this place out!

    The place is spacious with lots of seating
    Suzanna L.

    It's been a awhile since I've been here. As alot of the reviews have mentioned, this place offers humongous portion sizes of their food. There's also a lot of variety for you to pick from. Their menu spans from traditional Chinese, Vietnamese, to Japanese. They also offer Boba teas. The food is made fresh to order, however the taste can vary, depending upon the day and chef. At least that's what I've noticed. It's always decent enough though. I've had 'excellent' there before but sometimes it's just not fantastic even when I order the exact same thing. Pricing has gone up through the years, but I think it's still very reasonable and a good value. The place is spacious with lots of seating. Basically you order at the counter and they give you a buzzer. You have to clear your own table after eating. We came for lunch and there was hardly anybody there on a weekday. It gets packed during the dinner though. They do ALOT of carry out business too. There was enough leftover for me to have an actual lunch and dinner the next day. Check it out if you're ever on Lane Avenue and have a huge hunger for asian. Or during the holidays after you finish shopping at the shops of lane.

    Has anyone try their ramen? Are their ramen overcook like their other noodle dishes?

    I've had it once & the noodles were not overdone.

Midway through my meal, they came around to light a candle at the table, which added such an intimate touch, and gave cozy date night energy in the best way.

The edamame stood out because they generous with the flaky salt, which I personally loved. Sometimes places hold back, but this was well seasoned. 3. Customer Service (2.5/5) This is where things started to fall apart a bit. I stood at the front for about 12 minutes before being acknowledged, and the restaurant was nearly empty. I had to make eye contact with someone in the kitchen just to be seated. Service at the table wasn't much better. It took about 15 minutes just to get my drink order taken (which I had to flag the waitress down to order), and by that time I was ready to order my whole meal. I ordered an appetizer along with a couple of sushi rolls and some sake. I'm not sure if the waitress wasn't thinking about it, but she brought my rolls out before she even brought out my appetizer or my drink. The inconsistency was noticeable and took away from the experience. 4. Overall Taste (4.5/5) The food absolutely carried! I ordered a sweet potato roll and the Hoonie Roll, which ended up being my favorite part of the meal. Both were fresh, flavorful, and really well-balanced. Paired with the edamame and sake, everything came together nicely. 5. Overall Experience (3.9/5 ) Taking everything into account, the experience lands just under a 4. The food and atmosphere were strong, but the service created a noticeable disconnect. It's definitely one of those places where you'd go back for the food, but you'd hope the service catches up next time.

    The first Oishii is far off my usual routes, so I haven't gotten there though I heard it's good…read more This one opened up near campus last week, much closer to me. And after that soft opening with a regular menu, this week they introduced an all-you-can-eat menu as well. So of course I got there as soon as I could. Quite an extensive menu for AYCE too, though not as big as their standard one. And full of interesting stuff. Nigiri, raw rolls, cooked rolls, deep-fried rolls, specialty rolls, apps, ramen, hibachi, and more. I wanted to try everything, but even though I arrived hungry I just couldn't. Maybe 25 years ago I could have eaten twice as much, and when the students hear about this they will clean them out. It's just down from where Japanese Oriental Restaurant used to be, and I used to save up and pig out there with my friends. Now I eat a bit less, but I still figure I had about $60 worth of sushi for $30. I started with seaweed salad- big portion, and very tasty. Fresh and a little spicy. Then unagi- two big pieces, excellent, tender and flavorful. Then maguro- good, melt in your mouth. Next I tried their "dragon eggs"- deep fried avocado with kani and tuna. OMG. Again, a big portion (two whole avocados, halved and stuffed. Finally, two big rolls: the High Street roll with spicy tuna, and the Seashore roll with salmon, kani, and more. Wow. Big, and tasty. Best sushi in town? No, but up there. Really good. Service was great. They open at noon, at least on weekdays, and I was the first one in. The decor is cool- it's an old house, and they have made it modern but with vintage touches. The bathrooms and waiting area are super cool. There's a bar off to one side, a sushi bar in back, and lots of sleek but comfy seating. Also a huge patio and courtyard out front. Free street parking out front (except during rush hour.) Also a small lot in back. Get here. If you like sushi, or other Japanese food, you'll like it. If you like a bargain, you'll love it. $27, yes, not cheap; but for sushi it's not bad, and for AYCE sushi it is a steal. A cool place to hang out, not far from campus, and drink, and eat good food till you're stuffed.

Atmosphere was modern and soothing. You can get ramen, cooked dishes like tempura, salads, all kinds of things. There's a full bar as well, and areas with cozy or romantic seating. The design was actually pretty cool, you could eat with a group or sit up at a bar by yourself and feel very comfortable either way. The sushi menu itself includes more traditional Japanese sushi, which honestly is what I'd recommend from the AYCE menu. They even have sashimi, which is cut thinly- which is fine, if you want more you can just order more, that prevents excessive waste. Most AYCE places wouldn't offer sashimi anyway. But the traditional sushi, sashimi and rolls were the ones we liked best. The more Americanized rolls with the alternative (non-nori) wraps were not as delicious, in our opinion. We couldn't figure out what it was, whether it was the wraps or an ingredient in the chopped sushi roll fillings. But there's a ton on this menu that was good. Will eat here again. Oh and a short note on large groups- maybe this is not the spot to go with a massive group? It's more of an intimate dining experience, although they do seem to allow big groups. I only mention this because I saw a negative review about slow service for large groups before we went and then the evening we went a group of maybe 10-12 college students impatiently waited by the door to be seated, even though the servers were polite and had to wait for multiple tables to clear at the same time to push together seat such a large group in a smallish restaurant- the patrons kept coming in and trying to sit at random tables before it was their turn. If you have a massive group I'd say split into multiple tables or maybe choose a different, larger or chain restaurant, like El Vaquero or Buffalo Wild Wings? Anyway I hope they left a good tip because the workers were very professional and the group was very large and very impatient.
