The Asian Bistro offers a wonderful dining experience, even when short-staffed during busy times. The friendly staff, including noted service from Estela and Christina, is attentive, and the food remains a highlight. The Tom Yum continues to be a standout, while the Tom Kha with steamed tofu also enjoys popularity. The papaya salad is fresh, crisp, and delicious, with an option for those who prefer less spice. Guests love the roasted duck with pad see ew and the drunken noodles, as well as the Panang curry with fried tofu or mock chicken. Many appreciate the large portions and reasonable prices, especially those looking for vegan and gluten-free options. The restaurant's cozy atmosphere is enhanced by a mural on the wall, and the ice teas with coconut milk add a tasty touch. The Asian Bistro has been a favorite for many years, making it a great spot for families and special occasions. With a late opening and excellent service, this place is truly a gem in the Hillcrest area.
