Still hungry after going to a sushi restaurant (and needing to get carryout for my non-sushi-eating wife), I stopped into Asian Bistro for carryout. The food and service was solid.Asian Bistro is a Szechwan style restaurant, with many of the dishes being quite hot and authentic. It was about 30 minutes before closing when I walked in, and the restaurant was still quite full. I placed my order, then waited about 10 minutes. Once the food came, I paid for it then, and we went our way.The first dish was twice cooked pork ($17.95): steamed pork belly, cooked again with leeks in a spicy, black bean sauce. It came with a small rice, and I really enjoyed the flavor.I also got the Taiwanese Style Rice Noodles ($12.95), which had been well prepared with quality ingredients. There were a ton of other things I wanted to try on the menu, so making a note of it for next time.

We went to Asian Bistro back in Nov 2023. We met my wife's friend @ Asian Bistro in Arlington Heights. We picked up my buddies wife & 3 kids in Wheeling & took them to Asian Bistro. They arrived from the Philippines on 09/13/23 unfortunately wo/my friend who passed away on 04/09/33 (RIP). Asian Bistro is located in a strip mall on Golf Road near Arlington Heights road. The restaurant has a nice ambiance & the food is pretty good. We ordered several dishes to be shared & eaten family style. * Salt & Pepper Squid w/red peppers, onions & basil * Fish Fillet w/pea pods, shiitake mushrooms & red peppers (good but a little bland) * Beef Chow fun w/ton of noodles & almost no beef. * Szechwan Spicy Shrimp * Szechwan Green Beans

I ordered the Szechuan hot and spicy wonton as an appetizer. There were six boiled wontons in there. The wonton wrapper is thin and fragile. Ground pork was used to make the filling; it was flavorful. The rich red, spicy oil sauce covered the wontons. Surprisingly, the sauce wasn't spicy; it was savory and slightly sweet. As a garnish, green onions and sesame seeds were added.I had their beef chow fun as my entree, which is stir-fried noodles with slices of beef, chopped scallions, bean sprouts, and carrots chopped into juliennes. The dish's appearance is unappealing because to its dull brown tone. It would look better if there were additional carrots or scallions added for color. The flavor was bland and inadequately seasoned.

Located in a strip mall, I found out about this place through friends. The food was all very decent and they had generous portion sizes. I recommend coming here with a group or it's also nice with your significant other. You'll for sure have leftovers to take home. I found the prices to be very reasonable and standard. Service was great, we were well taken care of. We got our food fast and our drinks were refilled. The food quality was subpar, each dish that we ordered was flavorsome and savory. I would give it a 4. If you get a craving for Chinese food, I recommend you stop by.

All the dishes had amazing flavors.Beef and tripe in chili sauce was expertly prepared and delicious, one of the milder dishes. Fei teng fish fillet was the crowd pleaser, super fresh and spicy. La tsi chicken with beer should be movie night staple. Salty, spicy, numbing. Ordered online and it was ready as promised. Person at service counter was friendly, courteous and efficient.

I am finding more amazing small restaurants in strip malls lately. Who knew?! The restaurant was not busy on a Thursday evening which suits me just fine. After being seated, the waitress allowed us to chat and catch up until we were ready to order. I enjoyed every dish we ordered. Here is the breakdown:CHENGDU LIAN MEIN - noodle dish tossed in Szechuan oil sprinkled with sesame seeds served at room temperature. The noodle had a nice bite and it was not too spicy. It was simple but delicious.TOFU HOME STYLE - fried tofu with leeks, bamboo shoot, black mushroom, and pork stir-fried in Szechuan oil. The tofu was a bit tough for my taste from being fried too long. It was good, nevertheless.YU SHUNG EGGPLANT - Chinese eggplant stirred fried with ground pork. The eggplant was cooked to a delicate texture. It was delightful with plain rice or by itself. SZECHUAN STRING BEAN - a very simple green bean dish toss with Szechuan peppercorn. One of my favorite Szechuan dishes.The staff is personable and attentive. There is nothing fancy about this place except good food at a very reasonable price and plenty of parking available since it is in a strip mall. I would recommend it to my family and friends and return when I'm in the neighborhood.

Came in here to get some food before a nail salon appt. The other day, waited 15min then my nail salon called and I asked about my food.Another lady said the food had not been started... so I canceled it and left.Today I came in to try again, this pathetic excuse for a service worker tells me he won't serve me because I had ordered and left from the previous day and that I was "not nice"... WTF?So I got pretty mad. I was waiting and he disappeared and now I had to go to because it was my appointment time.Mofo has the gall to walk away and tell me he's not gonna serve me... the dummy that came back to support a local Asian business... are you kidding me? Do not bother coming to this poop place epitome of the worst in mom n pop shops

The Asian Bistro is very easy to pass by. It's in the middle of a strip mall with a very traditional name. But once you stop in, you'll find a unique Asian experience. This restaurant has two menus and serves traditional Asian fare as well as the more familiar Americanize Asian cuisine. We went with two friends and got to try four entrees. We tried the orange chicken, tofu, salt and pepper chicken, and a spicy fish dish. The orange chicken was made with orange peel and had a great real orange taste. The tofu and salt and pepper chicken were very flavorful and distinctive. The fish was good but was too spicy for me, but not for my table-mates who very much enjoyed the dish. The restaurant got more crowded as the evening wore on. We were very well attended to even though it was clear that they were understaffed. You won't be sorry that you made the effort to find the Asian Bistro.

I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. While eating, I found a piece of glass in my food that broke my tooth. This is extremely dangerous and unacceptable. I hope the management takes immediate action to ensure this doesn't happen to anyone else.They didn't want me to find a dentist on my own. Instead, they insisted on finding one themselves, claiming it was for their protection and so they could have the records for their insurance company. However, they never got back to me.

My family and I have been coming here for many, many years. The food has remained consistently delicious and we have gotten to know the store owners really well. Recently, they provided us a new drink they are testing out to get our advice. Overall, it is always an awesome experience!
