Tai's Asian Bistro is the utility infielder for Asian food. Loads of options across East and Southeast Asian cuisines - easy to make everyone happy when one wants sushi, another a Thai green curry, and another Szechuan hot. And boy is this place teenager friendly! Not because it is filled with teenagers but because the portions are enormous and can either fill that kid's hollow leg or be plenty for lunch for you the next day. So for most mere mortals this is a 2 for 1 meal deal. With all the selection does come a little chaos in terms of being overwhelmed by the options, not necessarily knowing you order sushi at a separate register than the other options, and the general crowd milling about waiting for pickup. As they clearly do a lot of take out. We have done both dine-in and take out. Dine-in is utilitarian and functional (and the outside porch can be a little less crazy) but it is not where you go to have a quiet, intimate dinner. The sound of the kitchen, the crowds, and the TVs mean there is an underlying soundtrack. So definitely a go to for quick, for wide set of choices, for prodigious portions, and for good functional food. read more

I've been here once or twice before & was underwhelmed. It was MANY years ago. I went with a friend who had never been here. I ordered the chicken egg roll, the soft shell crab sushi and pot stickers. She had a noodle dish and a sushi roll. She said her noodle dish was bland. My sushi was bland even though it had Eel sauce. The chicken egg roll was also very bland. I won't be returning. read more

Picked up takeaway lunch yesterday and couldn't believe how busy they were! I've never come at lunch time, but that's the spot. Whole parking lot was full and every table inside taken (you know this isn't a small place!) It is surprisingly loud when the restaurant is full. Got my order super fast - pork banh mi, wonton soup, egg rolls, pea pod chicken and fried rice. Everything was still piping hot when I got home. This is the spot for unbeatable value. The portions are massive, especially for the Chinese dishes. First time trying a lot of the items and loved everything. Wonton soup was full of tasty things and flavored well. Great value at about $3 Pork banh mi had great baguette-like bread and every part was delicious. Good value at $7.50. Pea pod chicken was sooo good, especially for a pretty entry-level/blander dish. I'm a spicy food lady, but this was for a family member who doesn't like spice. It was hot, fresh, and really delicious. I'd get it again myself but make it spicy (which you can do on their online ordering system). Sorry I didn't get photos! read more

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. read more

I ordered the Dan Dan Noodle Bowl and I liked it. The sprouts and the cucumber were crisp and fresh, and the dish was hot and garlicky. It was a HUGE amount of food.

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. read more

The service was quick and the food was delicious! My friends and I were so pleased with each of our selections we happily shared them and could not decide which was better. The portions were huge. We ordered Pad Tai, Double Beef Mushroom, and Salt and Pepper Shrimp. The Resteraunt was efficient and clean. It has interesting lighting and comfortable enough seating, big tables, not crowded but to be honest the ambiance was made by happy people enjoying really good food. I will be back with more friends. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

A weird but good experience. Ordering: the place is kind of...chaotic. You walk in and there is an ordering kiosk/kitchen in the back. The menu doesn't have prices on it, so you're just guessing here. Get in line, place your order, be surprised at the total, and then you'll get a little light up disk thing that they will ping when your order is ready. Seating: see also: chaotic. The place is crowded with long tables, larger people or those in wheelchairs may have trouble traversing through the rows of tables and chairs. There is also a little bar to the side for sushi. Food: ok this is what made it a 5-star rating. The foooood! We got 2 meals and 2 appetizers to share. The shrimp pad Thai was amazing and the tofu curry was perfectly spiced with large chunks of tofu. The portions were HUGE! We also had an order of crab Rangoon and dumplings. Two meals, two apps, and three drinks ran us $67. Considering we took more than half the food home and ate it for days I consider it a good deal! read more

Must visit for Pad Thai! I get the combination pad Thai, no pork sub beef. That's just my preference but it's a great pad Thai compared to others I've had. Not to mention the side of the portions is ridiculous. It feeds me 4 meals. Their noodle dishes definitely give the largest portions, but I've also tried the Mongolian beef and it's VERY good. I switch back and forth between those two dishes. You aren't going to Tai's for ambiance but more for the portions and diverse Asian menu! read more

I generally love my Tai Asian Bistro on West Lane Avenue but I've come to realize that there are just too many dishes on the menu and they don't do some of them well. On a positive note, I like their Vietnamese salad rolls. Wish the dipping sauce was peanut instead of hoisin. The sweet and sour....hard bb balls. Could not eat the dish even after putting sauce on it. The worst won ton soup EVER. Lots of bamboo shoots, little slices of chicken??, a little green vegetable and finally, three won tons!! Yes, three won tons. As my wife said, should have ordered the hot and sour soup!! Disappointing takeout. read more

Tai's Asian Bistro is an absolute gem! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious--but what really stands out are the HUGE portions.

I wanted to like it, it's always busy. But, it was pretty gross, the portions are huge, so you get a lot of it, but it's not cooked to order, it's reheated. The restaurant itself is also filthy. A quick glance at the orange globes show huge amounts of caked dust, The windows are filthy, and the kitchen was cluttered and filthy. Gordon Ramsey would be screaming about the board of healthy. There's a lot of good Chinese restaurants in Columbus, This isn't one of them. read more

This place is good for what it is. What is it, exactly? Enormous portions, mediocre food. And I'm definitely not against that, but if you're considering paying Tai's a visit, just go in with that expectation. If a lot of fairly decent food for not a lot of money is what you're looking for, definitely hit it up! If you're looking for high quality, look elsewhere. read more

I find it interesting that there is no mention in any of these reviews that this business does not put the prices on their inside menu. Kind of ridiculous. That being said you can go to the website to see the prices. The food is pretty good depending on what you order and the portions are huge for the price. It's a pretty good bang for your buck. read more

We were in Columbus for a stop over on a road trip. We love Thai and Asian fusion and this was near our hotel. First, we didn't realize this is really a take-out place. You can dine-in but it has the ambiance of a cafeteria, so we decided to get take it back to the hotel where we had some wine in the fridge. If you have never been here it is very confusing - order at one window but some of your food comes from the other side depending on what you order. And the menus are hanging up in different places but not all the menus in one place. Very strange set up. We got the papaya salad from the Japanese side and the hot food from the Thai side so our order didn't come out at the same time. The papaya salad was inedible. I don't know if it's supposed to taste like kimchi salad or something but it tasted like fermented green papaya. It was a massive salad so if you like it, there sure is plenty. We each took one bite and threw it all away. The worst food I had tasted anywhere in a very long time. I ordered red curry with veggies and stir fried rice. Asked for very mild. It came with steamed rice instead of fried and was so freaking spicy my lips were on fire. Couldn't eat it. Took it home to add gobs of coconut milk to make it edible but it just wasn't good. Husband got eggplant stir fry with steamed rice. The most edible of our 3 dishes but still just barely - eh. I can see that if you find a dish you like here you get MASSIVE portions so that's the appeal, I suppose. We could have shared ONE dish and still had left overs. So I guess that's why people like it. I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 bc I imagine there must be a dish they make really well and the portions being so huge you get your moneys worth. read more

Generous 3 stars because you get large portions. But the quality is not very high. Had the katsu Chicken and it was sweet and nothing like katsu. We also had chicken with noodles. Just tasted bad. Maybe something safer like fried rice might be a better choice. But if you want large portions than this is the place. read more

Not really what I was expecting....husband ordered the pepper steak and I ordered broccoli chicken. We were informed you cannot order half sizes.

This was a very positive experience. Especially, we do not live in Cbus anymore, however we decided to re-visit this place. The food was great and accurate as well.

The sweet and sour shrimp was fantastic. We ordered online (easy) and they were quick to make the food. read more

I've been to Tai's a few times. It's a pretty popular spot. The order process is at a counter and then you seat yourself. I've had a few different sushi rolls, the pho, the miso soup, and perhaps a couple of other things along the way. The sushi is ok, not my absolute favorite place for sushi but they do have a lot of different options that I haven't tried. I definitely enjoyed the pho and miso soup a lot. The miso is heartier than most miso soups you'll find and filled with lots of greenery (seaweed? not sure). They definitely get busy around dinner time so I would advise going in for lunch or giving yourself a pretty generous window if you're ordering takeout. I'm sure I'll visit Tai's again soon and will report back on other menu options as I try them. read more

I have always loved Tai's Asian Bistro from the moment I first dinned here. It has been one of my Top 5 favorite Columbus restaurants for many years. I had a craving for Pad Thai and we headed out to Tai's. Take it for what it is, but for me, this was not a good experience. Service was terrible, very disorganized and real disappointed in the flavor and in the serving size. Definitely a miss for this visit. I went with the Chicken Pad Thai and immediately noticed the portion size has decreased. It was also served in a plastic to-go container instead of the dine-in plates. The other guest in my party order Shrimp Pad Thai, and received a much larger portion on an actual plate. Very inconsistent and we have had these dishes many times. We had ordered right after each other and I for some reason I had to wait forever for my buzzer to go off with folks after me getting served to the point I thought they missed my order. Oh well, I will try again with another trip but if this was my first impression I would not return. Hoping this was just an off visit as I would hate to give up on this place. read more

Went to order Singapore Noodles. It normally comes with chicken and shrimp. I don't eat shrimp so I normally substitute the shrimp for tofu. I was told their new policy requires them to charge me for extra chicken and tofu. I asked why I couldn't just substitute one for the other but was told that's just their policy. So for an order of Singapore Noodles, two egg rolls they were trying to charge me $29.95!! I declined and said no thanks. Wont be ordering from here again. Sad because I've been a customer of theirs for over 15 years. Their prices keep going up exponentially and their customer service keeps going down. read more
