98 Asian Bistro

I went here on Saturday for a "Find your Hiipe" private event. There is a room in the back of the restaurant that is perfect for parties and gatherings, it has its own bar back there as well. The restaurant catered all the food for this event and it was absolutely delicious. The Lo Mein noodles and spring rolls were my favorite!!

Stopped in for lunch today with coworkers. We opted to sit at the bar, as the service seems to be much quicker and the waitress/bartender is more attentive. I went with my usual, yellow chicken curry. The food came out quickly and was served with choice of a fresh or fried spring roll. I always go with fresh, not a big fan of the texture of the fresh roll. The curry was ok. But definitely something different on this visit. There were chunks of pineapple, which I definitely don't remember ever having before. It was ok, but added a weird sweetness. Not sure I'm a big fan of this change, unless I was just given the wrong dish.

I had the opportunity to dine once again at 98 Asian bistro this past week with a rather large group of friends. The service was impeccable, and our server was incredibly friendly, remembered all of our names and drink orders, and very unobtrusively provided service in a timely manner. The food was incredibly flavorful, if a bit on the pricey side; however the portions are more than plentiful. The Lemongrass Chicken I ordered was enough for my dinner and lunch the following day. I continue to be impressed with the food and I'm glad they have maintained a strong presence in High Point.

We came in a busy Saturdays afternoon, were greeted rough away and helped to our table. Service was prompt and friendly. We ordered chicken skewers appetizer asked that was good, as well as crispy spring rolls (although those were a bot greasy). Then a noodle soup with pork which we ended not eating because the broth was bland and the meat was hard and lacked seasoning. But we absolutely enjoyed a dish with meat and a chimichurri style red sauce.

The ambiance is so authentic - you should just go to see the inside! The chicken satay was a little cold but the cucumber dressing that it comes with lovely to dip our egg rolls in. The bartender tonight made a lychee martini that was perfectly blended, couldn't taste the alcohol but I felt it haha. Egg rolls are making me wish I worked there, just so I could eat them whenever I want. My friend got the Panang Curry Chicken which is really spicy hot and I enjoyed Tom Yum soup - the best name for it because it was yummy and perfect temperature on a cold night. We each got a fortune cookie and found out on your birthday, you can sound the large drum in the restaurant!

I decided to check out this restaurant on my own on my way home from a day trip to Greensboro-High Point...First of all, the place was beautiful...spacious, with a nice ambiance, filled with exotic Thai decor. Also had cool overhead music. However, as to be expected from a non-metro restaurant, the volume was very conservatively set to low. Now, here's something "funky". Initially when I arrived, there was no hostess to lead me to the table...although I saw at least 2 tables full already. Instead of a proper greeting and a walk-up to a table, this rude Asian girl basically pointed me toward a table, as if to say "Go There!" (from afar!)...?!? At this point, I mentioned (from afar) that I had made a reservation via Google, and she just blurted "uh-HUH" as if to say, "I don't give a ***K!" (so no idea if she even bothered to mark me off the list or anything??). No lie..."uh-HUH" was her response! Guess you can say that I was nearly shocked at this rude welcome...especially at a restaurant that seemed so nice. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that this girl (she seemed too young to be the Owner of the restaurant itself, but who knows!) might have been a family member of the Owner or something...'cuz there's just no way a hired hostess, manager (or whatever her title!) would treat a customer like that in ANY restaurant.Luckily, my boy waitress was quite friendly and attentive. If he, too, was as rude as the girl that basically barked at me to go sit down lol, I would have just left. Anyway, I ordered this Pranang Curry dish, as well as these Shrimp Rolls appetizer. Pranang Curry had a good flavor, but it was fairly mild...not as spicy as I would have liked it. I was actually more impressed with their Shrimp Rolls. However, the lettuce on the bottom did not look fresh, as the lettuce was near yellow in color. I found that extremely shocking.Honestly, I expected to love the restaurant...but I ended up just barely liking it. I had mixed feelings, let's just say. Great Shrimp Roll appetizer, good Pranang Curry dish, but bad lettuce. Beautiful decor, friendly waiter, but horribly rude hostess service. Yep..."uh-HUH"...that was my overall impression.

This was our first time trying 98 Asian Bistro and we decided to get takeout and try as many items as possible because I've heard good things. We tried the crispy spring rolls, satay chicken, shrimp rolls, Thai fried rice with shrimp, and the sweet and sour with shrimp which were all great aside from the sweet and sour. It was good but not great but that won't stop us from going to enjoy inside the restaurant the next time. We ordered and everything was ready and complete at the time stated as well as including exactly what we ordered so I'd say that is good service. We will be visiting again soon.

We came to 98 Asian Bistro with some friends and our kids. The dining area is spacious and there were a few large groups seated comfortably. The ambiance is elegant /casual. The service needs work as there were some delays with our food. Our main dishes came out but they forgot to bring my daughter's fried rice with chicken. After telling the waitress it still took 20 minutes longer to bring her food out. The food was really good and no complaints there. I asked for several to go boxes because we had a bit of food left over and when I started to put the food away another staff member comes by and starts to take away my sons almost full meal. Then when I told her I was taking that to go, she proceeded to drop the plate back on the table with three other utensils that weren't the ones my son used. I found that to be a rude gesture. They also billed us for calamari that we did not receive and when we mentioned something about that, the waitress said we are supposed to notify them before the check comes out which doesn't make any sense if they forgot to bring something out. The gratuity added to our large group tab seemed excessive over 25% for a lack of service.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in High Point. There is an outdoor patio where well behaved pups are welcome! The service is always excellent and attentive without being overwhelming. When I have visitors, 98 Asian is always one of the dinner spots I take guests.

The yellow curry is amazing! I've tried so many restaurants and this is my favorite. It's not your normal Asian restaurant and the food is delicious. The service was impeccable. I will definitely visit them again. as I have just moved here. So lucky to find them!
