Our first time here while in town for a concert. We were very excited for a fully vegan place! They have a large menu with sections for Thai, Chinese, and Japanese options. We ordered:
Fried wonton app - 8/10. 6 pieces, light and crispy, creamy melty cheese inside, delicious dipping sauce. Would order again.
Yakiudon with "pork" - hubby gave it a 7/10. I thought it was an 8/10. The "pork" was delicious, chewy noodles, sweet & savory sauce. Would order again.
Chow mein with "beef" - kiddo gave it a 9/10, even though she didn't like the "beef" and didn't like most of the veggies (cabbage, carrots, onion) lol. But she liked the rest. I thought it was an 8/10, very tasty, I loved the faux beef, thought it was super flavorful. Would order again.
Tonkatsu ramen - 6/10, was just ok. The broth was tasty, but not a lot of depth. The ramen noodles were good. The toppings were lacking. I wanted more veg, and the "pork" slices were weird, like a cheap deli meat style. The pan fried tofu on top was good. I would definitely get something else next time.
Mango smoothie - 10/10 from the kiddo. She loved it. Was sad they didn't have popping boba, just regular boba.
Overall an enjoyable meal, would definitely go back to try more things!

It’s great to have a vegan restaurant in an area with no other vegan restaurants around. The space is really big with some interesting decor, and the menu is extensive. So many options! Drink menu is great too with lots of tea and smoothie options.
We tried the pho, tom yum noodle, yellow curry, larb tofu, mango smoothie, and green tea with mango. The pho was pretty disappointing and did not look like the picture in the menu- it came with no lime and no basil and no fresh greens on top, and when we requested lime and basil they said they didn’t have any basil but were able to give us two slices of lemon. The broth for the pho was also really simple and didn’t have any notes of anise, it was probably just some vegetable stock. Definitely don’t recommend the pho.
Everything else was really good! And the drinks were wonderful- not too sweet. I’d swing by here again and try some other menu items.

I was so happy to discover this place when I was in Bakersfield a while ago and everything I ate here was amazing. What impressed me the most was the wide variety of unique options here, such as the vegan honey walnut shrimp, which was incredibly good! In fact, we ordered quite a few different dishes with the vegan shrimp in them; all of them were delicious and the vegan shrimp was some of the best vegan seafood I’ve had in a while. The chow mein topped with vegan ham was another one of my favorites and was remarkably filling with incredible flavor. Everything I had here was excellent, and I encourage anyone in the area to try this place.

I was visiting Bakersfield for a few days, and found this Gem! The Tofu Katsu was fresh and delicious. My sides were cream cheese wontons, tempura vegetables, and spring rolls. My meal could have been for two people. If your visiting or passing through town hungry. This is the spot!!! Thank you for the delicious meal!!😊

Asian Vegan Bistro is hands down one of Bakersfield’s hidden gems. 🌱✨
The magic here is that literally everything on the menu is vegan—and it spans the best of Asian cuisine: Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Korean. You don’t have to pick and choose—you get it all in one spot.
I’ve brought my partner, family, friends, and even acquaintances here, and every single one of them walked away impressed. My youngest sister and I especially love it—it’s become one of our favorite go-to’s. • The Soy Beef with Broccoli & Mushrooms is hearty, flavorful, and feels just like a classic stir-fry. • Their Vegan Chow Mein is comfort in a bowl—noodles pan-fried perfectly with plant-based protein. • The Crispy Tofu Tempura with Rice & Broccoli is golden and light, with that perfect crunch. • And the Yakisoba / Pad See Eaw noodles are simple, veggie-packed, and satisfying.
The portions are generous, the flavors are on point, and it’s such a rare treat to find a place where you can explore multiple Asian cuisines 100% plant-based. Highly recommended for vegans, vegetarians, or honestly anyone who enjoys delicious food.
Delicious fresh food, only complaint is that the portions are small, we had to order three main entrees.

My family and I were pleasantly surprised with how delicious everything was! We came with a party of 10 and were quickly seated, ordered smoothly, and the food came out in decent time. The menu is arranged by each cuisine with a nice selection of dishes and quality drink options as well. We all ordered and shared different dishes, which were all delicious and authentic! I ordered the beef chow mein (the best I've ever had!), and the beef tasted roast duck! Will definitely be returning if I find myself in Bakersfield again

Clearly understaffed, Thai Tea with boba was so bad that I couldn't finish it, and the food was mediocre at best. We waited an extremely long time to place and receive our order. This establishment really needs some TLC and additional staff to reach it's full potential.
