My husband and I live a few miles from the Asean Bistro, it's been our go-to for Chinese food for about 10 years. In the last year, the food quality has really slipped. Now we'll only order the appetizers and even then we keep it simple. Egg drop soup, veggie spring rolls, chicken satay, those are all still pretty good.... More

Overall we had a very nice dinner. The restaurant layout is great and stylish partitions allow for privacy which allows for a great dining atmosphere. The service was very good and attentive--our water glasses were always full. We started with the Red Sauced Wontons which were really too spicy to eat (a lot of chili sauce). We probably left half...

This a great place for an inexpensive lunch, much more cheaper than their dinners, but the same great food. The lunch menu is smaller, but good variety. You get an entree, soup or egg roll & a buffet of yummy appetizers. My wife and I go here for a date lunch often. I love their "Morengo Delight" - diced chicken... More

We chose to go out for Easter dinner this year to one of my father's favorite places, Asean Bistro. The atmosphere is intimate and upscale, perfect for families and date night. Portions were plentiful - I had the special, Pan-fried Grouper with Sweet Basil Sauce. The filet was huge. It was served with white rice and I had the Thai... More

Wow - this has to be the best restaurant I have tried in my many travels to Columbia, MD!! The menu was varied, with great seafood choices and lots of sauces. The waiter was helpful in recommending selections for me. I got the Salmon in black bean sauce and a side of Mala Green Beans. Both were excellent. Service was... More

Food preparation and attractive plate treatments differentiate this restaurant from other Asian establishments. There are free steamed vegetables near the entrance. The menu is robust, with well prepared sauces in many dishes. The dishes are quite tasty and portions are generous. Unfortunately, service can be numbingly slow, including for business lunches. But the shadowy ambiance and hardwood table dividers contribute... More

Four of us and a 3 month old baby arrived on a Friday evening without a reservation expecting to wait for a table but we were seated upon arrival. The waiter brought a high chair for the baby seat and the service was attentive and welcoming. The Thai Green Curry Chicken and the Chef XU's chicken were good. Two of... More

We ate with a group of friends and sampled several dishes. Chicken and vegetable dishes were very good, with some interesting combinations not offered at most chinese restaurants. Beef tasted good but was tough. The highlight was live music, a jazz trio accompanied by a young and very talented singer, Ms. Bagley. We look forward to returning for more good... More
