My Tonkotsu Ramen soup was delicious. I ordered it with pork and it was very tasty and tender. My surprise bonus is when I ordered a passion fruit and pineapple green tea while waiting for my order to go. It was absolutely incredible. It is now my favorite green tea in Pentagon City.

Sushi Experience №3

All three dishes we got were awful. The potstickers were just barely warm and a bit stale, the drunken noodles had a weird taste and the pad Thai (the best of the three) had an aftertaste. Got takeaway so couldn’t send it back. It would take a lot to get me to go back here again. Should have guessed when there were only 2 persons in the restaurant at 6:10pm.

Service was very good, we sat outside on a beautiful evening. Waitress took our order and repeated it back correctly. Three orders of poke bowl, which should be the house speciality. Kitchen seems to have prepared what they were in the mood to send out. One diner requested little rice, all three got little rice. One request for no sesame seeds, all got no sesame seeds. My order for the salmon poke bowl got me the most tasteless salmon.

I’ve ever eaten. My friends had the three fish poke bowl and found the tuna and scallops were excellent but agreed the salmon was below my expectations. The poke bowls contained ingredients not shown on the menu so the was no way to ask the raw yellow onions! be omitted, forcing one diner to pick them out. And who puts salad lettuce in poke bowls or seaweed salad! Overall, very disappointing.

Great food. We shared the bao buns, sushi, and pork belly Ramen. I also had the lychee mojito. Everything was excellent and the service was quick, friendly, and professional. The plating was beautiful. I definitely recommend.

This is a great place for happy hour or a small dinner because the HH prices are really good and the HH goes until 7 pm. When I'm in the area it's one of my go-to places for a bite and drinks with a friend but the food quality is pretty average.

All foods are so yummy
Here has happy hour until 7 pm.
Dumpling yummy but smaller than picture on menu a bit.

I try Vietnam coffee the signature drink here, good taste but it may be too sweet for someone don t like too sweet. This drink they mixed, so can not control how many sweet you like.

All service nice, they have good smile, good service.

Inside so clean until restroom.

There are 2 sections look nice and wanna try to spend time next time

I prefer happy hour here Mon.-Fri. Before 7 pm.

Hope all you guy enjoy here ^^

Was a decent experience but far from great. ordered probably 4 minutes after my table did because I couldn't quite decide, yet my food came out after the rest of my table had already finished.

I got the drunken noodle and pricing wasn't bad but it was simply fine. I also asked for it spicy as possible and it was hardly spicy at all. Quality was fine but it just didn't do anything for me.

Service was nice and polite and overall it was pleasant to be there

My favorite sushi location! This was my first sushi spot in the DMV over 20 years ago.

My favorite sushi restaurant around this area. Their sushi is always super fresh and with a tasty flavor.

The only thing that is inconvenient thing is that if you want to sit outside on their patio you will have to deal with kids throwing balls at your table, that’s not the fault of the restaurant but definitely annoying to deal with.

I had passed by this restaurant numerous times and finally decided to check it out. There always seemed to be a sizable crowd inside. When I tried their food, it was served piping hot and exceptionally quick. I didn't have a fork or chopsticks on this particular visit, but that didn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying my meal.

I came here with a coworker for some tea and was pleasantly surprised. The food looked amazing as it passed our table, so I decided to try the Tonkatsu Ramen, and I'm so glad I did. It was awesome and full of flavor. They offer several types of ramen, sushi, and many other dishes. If you're a milk tea fan, they have an extensive selection. Despite being busy, the service was great. The location is charming, with shopping and a tiny ice skating rink right outside the restaurant. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Sushi Experience №37

While their Bibimbap had a decent taste, it wasn’t anything close to authentic.
- Green beans instead of bean sprouts
- regular mushrooms instead of Shitake
- over hard egg instead of sunny side up,
- no carrots, no zucchini (to add that expected color)
- Bulgogi more akin to Steakums
- Sauce was closer to ketchup. Had no kick (normally I can only put a small amount and it heats up the entire dish, I dumped all of this in and still could barely get any spice)
- decent Kimchi taste, but again… no heat in it.

Delicious ramen! Very good broth. Very authentic. Our niece and nephew love it too! They all love the ramen here. It's great to go with a large group because you order and pay separately or together when entering and before sitting down. Then when you're done, you can go! But it still feels like a nice restaurant.

They completely denied me service pregnant!!! I’ve been going here for a while and always enjoyed my food, and never had a problem… me and my sister sat down at their outside seating tonight at around 8 PM when the waitress came out, she explained that we are not allowed service. I asked her why And she explained that other people in my husbands family ( which I do not associate with) had problems at the restaurant, and was rude to the staff, I was like OK I understand that but I eat her all the time and never have a problem that has nothing to do with me, so why am I denied service? She said it doesn’t matter. I can’t serve on you. but to remind you I went there tonight just me and my sister! No one else. So as we are still sitting outside, confused, the manager comes out, she told us that we have to leave because they do not like our people? After trying to give her common sense that I am not associated with other people and reminding her, I never have issues she agrees I don’t have issues there, but she just doesn’t want to serve on me so then I asked, can I make a to go order and just take my food home and then she denied me service of making a to go order as well!?! so just because I was seen with people they don’t like I am denied food in restaurant, or even or to go order…

I will be reporting it to the BBB. And also taking other actions of legal matters as well for this horrible and traumatizing experience

The food at this place was really good and the ambience was nice. What ruined the experience was that the service was really slow. Our sushi sat out ready for a ridiculously long time before we had to tell the waitress to forget about it. She still brought it out and failed to bring out the chop sticks we asked for.

Had a meal at Asia bistro as it was close to our home. I had been craving a good ramen for long! So we went to this place as I found ramen on their menu. The ambience was nice. We started off with their chicken bao which was super soft and literally melted in our mouths. Next we had the Asia bistro roll sushi with shrimp, salmon and tuna. That was okay. And then, we finished off main course with a good bowl of spicy miso ramen which was not so spicy tbh, but the portion was super huge for two people. Overall, good ambience and good food 👍

Not much to look at, but excellent service and great food. I had dinner with my daughter. She had the salmon dish and was very pleased. I had the red curry with chicken.

When I am back at Pentagon Row, I will remember the meal and likely return.

Omg what a great little hidden gem! I am so sad that I have been driving all over Arlington when this is just around the corner! The food was hot, and good portion size.

Asia Bistro will give you a surprise from the moment you walk in to the taste of their food! Once you walk through their doors you are greeted with a bright open feeling. They was quick to greet us and seat us. When the server came over to take our drink orders he was so nice and prompt with our drinks. He gave us the special for the day and answered each question we had. He did not rush us to order and was extremely patient with us while we decided what we wanted for dinner.
We ordered the Crispy Spring Rolls as our appetizer and it was really good. The way they present the rolls is extremely cute as well. For our entrees we ordered Bistro Fried Rice, Grilled Chicken Bowl, and Premium steamed young soy beans sprinkled with salt..
When our dishes came out we could have honestly ordered one dish and ordered another side of fried rice and been good. The portions are big. So go in with an appetite if you don't want to share. The dishes each held their own they were flavorful and had the right amount of seasoning.

The food is a 6 star review the service is fast but so efficient and always friendly. We have had quite a few different dishes here and all have been really great. The taste is bold,fresh, and always beautifully plated. I especially love the Bento boxes and Steamed Bao Buns-Chicken. The chicken is all white meat and so tender it almost melts in your mouth. My husband loves the Thai Chili Wings. Even there sweet tea is perfect. By far, the best Asian food in Arlington!

I love bibibop! What I enjoy the most from it is the veggies and tofu. Bibibop from this place is a bit pricy in my opinion but when it comes to food, I don't really fight the price so much. However, for the price they charge I thought I was gonna get a reasonable amount of veggies and tofu. Instead, I got a bowl mainly full of rice. I ordered two bibibop with veggies and tofu. One for me and my girlfriend. Neither of us got enough veggies and tofu. If bibibop is going to be served like this from Asia Bistro than at least lower the price of it because sadly it's not worth it.

An excellent sushi place that punches above its weight, especially with ramen. I visited close to its closing time, late at night, and both the food and the service were as good as if they were just opening.

After a day of museums and memorials, we were looking for a place to sit and eat. My wife and daughter won rock, paper, scissors and we ate here. Not bad. Would like a few more vegetarian options, but not bad. We had the Shrimp & Veggie Tempura, for an appetizer, that they forgot to bring to us. So we got it mid-meal. We asked they leave the shrimp off and give us only veggies, which they did, but we didn’t get any extra veggies. So bummed at that.

Son got the Pad Thai with tofu and a Mango Tango tea. He loved the food, disliked the tea.

I got the LoMein Noodles and a Mango Tango Tea. I liked both, would have liked the noodles to have a little more flavor.

Wife got the Drunken Noodles with tofu and a So Peachy Tea. She loved both.

Daughter got the Malaysian Noodles and a Brown Sugar Milk Tea and was the only one eating with Chopstix. She was in heaven!

Kind of expensive, but we were right next to Wash DC! In the future, if we Rock, Paper, Scissors and I win - we’ll be going somewhere else! :)

OK food for the value.

The items & description on the menu do not match what they serve. When brought to the managers attention she became combative, & repeatedly pointed to the picture which still was not as the description listed. The waitress acknowledged it, but management continued to ignore it or apologize stating that they have been doing this for however many years. My dish was remade, still not as the menu stated but how “they” make it without another ingredient per request. The roll was messy due to how “they” make it vs how it’s described. Terrible customer service & recovery & the managers, chef & restaurant need to learn how to read & comprehend their own menu. I understand why they have a 4.0 star rating.

Edit after Restaurant response:
You should have apologized while I was at your restaurant & not wait until you have to reply to a negative review to save face in case other potential customers view it. Your waitress repeatedly apologized for your behavior & the terrible experience although you were not receptive to the feedback from me or her. You were not sorry & you were extremely defensive & combative. You only offered the online menu as an option. You never mentioned a physical menu & in fact kept referring & pointing to the online one. There was no physical menu & even if it was, your online & physical menus should match & reflect what the customer is going to actually receive. The roll was still not made as it is described on the menu. The shrimp & crab meat per your menu states it is on the inside of the roll & there is no cucumber. The roll is not easy to eat due to the way “you’” make it. It’s messy. If you want to continue to make the roll how “you” make it, I could care less, just change your menu to reflect this appropriately so customers know what they are getting & know not to order it. I will not be returning. I am clearly not the first customer to complain about your attitude & service & then you come to the review to offer an insincere apology. The way you handled this is the reason you have a bad review, not some simple mishap with the menu as you are trying to make it seem like.

Had a Poke bowl here a few times and it’s yummy. I see others ordering sushi, ramen or hot entrees. The poke bowl is tasty with Fresh tuna and fixings. Family owned and there is cooler seating inside or outdoor seating. Boba Thai tea also hits the spot.

Food about ok. But service was poor. Me and friends went there wasn’t in their rush hour. Just couple of tables occupied and no people stand in line. But the waitress came many times to collect all plates. Also she gave us the bill immediately while we were still talking and collected the bill so fast after we signed it. We seat in the restaurant less than an hour. Is there “one hour limit” in this restaurant?

Terrible restaurant, period! Very rude and unprofessional staff. Not worth spending money. Order was suppose to be ready at least 10-20 mins before I arrived. As soon as I told her the name on the order, she went to make it and I waited for about 20 mins. I brought this to the manager attention. Manager told me she is the only one taking care of to go orders. The restaurant was empty. I can wait if it’s a busy time it was 9pm. She seemed that she doesn’t care and she start to provoke me and tell me not to yell. I wasn’t yelling until she provoked me. She didn’t even care to apologize for the tardiness as if that’s normal and I have to accept it.

As always, they do not disappoint. I love their food. Great Ramen in the winter and wonderful and fresh poke bowls in the summer.
If you need a place that has so many different options, this is your place.

Thank you always, Asia Bistro.

We ordered the Malaysian Noodles and the Pad Thai. The food was beyond bland; zero taste. Further, the food just wasn’t good at all. We asked for some sauce to add some flavor. The server brought us some shumai sauce. We asked for one additional sauce and some soy sauce. We were told “you have enough!” However, he did bring us more sauce. If I could give this place a negative star, I would.

I’m writing this review based on my experience getting bubble tea here. I will not get bubble tea here again in the future. The bubble tea was mediocre at best but I paid almost $20 for two of them. You can go to any other bubble tea place and spend under $10 for two bubble teas of higher quality. Do not come here if you are just coming for bubble tea.

Good atmosphere and music. We got the spicy salmon poke bowl and the aloha poke bowl. We love poke, but these bowls just tasted bland. There wasn’t any sauce on the spicy salmon and there was a lot of filler in the bowl like leafy greens, cucumber, and onions. Not the best poke we’ve had, don’t recommend getting it here.

We have eaten there twice and both times what we got was great. We ordered from online with 2 different apps they have listed. 1 time was door dash and the other Uber eats.

While both times the food and bubble tea we had was great (we tried different things other than the curry puffs we got twice because they are amazing and my wife really like their rose something tea she got twice.. Sorry forgot name), they have issues keeping up with their online ordering. They are not organized at all and both times with different apps they had delays for us and others that ordered Before us that would go in checking for their orders.

Great place and would order again when I'm in town but they do need to step up their game with the online ordering.

Good Sushi, but the rolls are small for the price and the service is ok.
A plus, is next to the Pentagon mall!

More recently
Liked the godzilla and rainbow roll. Ok spicy salmon roll.
The Bistro sampler was OK and it came after the main.

Margarita was strong, better the mojito.

Couldn't try more food or drinks since the kitchen closed without warning.

Previously
Tried and they were good : steamed ShuMai, aloha bowl, and Tokyo Sun Roll! Recommend the Pink Dragon roll. Can skip the seaweed salad that has as much lettuce and tomatoes as seaweed.

Great service and a wonderful lunch. I don't eat sushi and was able to substitute a spring roll for the California roll in the Bento Box. A plastic fork wasn't going to work and it definitely wasn't a chop stick day, so I just picked the short ribs up and thoroughly enjoyed my meal.

I have eaten here over a dozen times, but depending on who is making the food/drink and if it is dine in or take out, the amounts vary by a lot. Inconsistency is one of the biggest turn offs, especially if it's a place that I refer to my friends and family.

We ordered takeout from here tonight - ramen and two sushi rolls (California roll and spicy tuna roll). I've got to say we were very disappointed. The broth of the ramen was very tasty but everything else was pretty bad. The noodles were closer to spaghetti noodles than ramen noodles and the meat was extremely dry and overcooked. The sushi...well that was probably the worst sushi we've ever had. The spicy tuna roll tasted sour and the California roll was dried out. This was the first time we were not able to finish a roll of sushi because it was so bad. The food did not taste fresh at all. I do NOT recommend this place.

Was hard to find at first because of the Google maps directions being off.
Cute area located more in the inner part. Service was quick, the happy hour drinks were ok, I liked my dish which was the bistro fried rice. My sister mentioned she like the crispy roll and ordered another since she didn't really like her shrimp and crab stick. But the second order of crispy rolls were way oily. The Shumai and sushi were good too.

Fantastic ramen. I love that they let you customize the base and toppings. The noodles weren't overcooked, the egg was better than Daikaya, and the tonkotsu broth was velvety and perfect. The way they packaged my takeout order impressed me, the broth was in a separate container from the rest, and the kimchi and chili sauce were in tiny cups, all tied together very neatly then placed in a paper bag with handles so I could get it safely back to my office. I paid $15 plus tip for tonkotsu broth with veggies and tofu.

The food was OK but not great, the worst thing was the service, our waitress rolled her eyes on us when we asked her for lime or lemon!!!! We couldn’t believe it. But in her defense I think we started with the wrong foot when we asked how much is the beer, the menu doesn’t show drinks prices. They try to pretend to be one of those upscale restaurants that don’t even show prices on the menu but the bad thing is that it is not, it is just a mediocre food fusion with decoration that pretends to be trendy but can’t .

Urban chic, over priced with middling portions though the food was good. Kids we hungry, it was an hour before most places closed so we braved it. Shortly after the food arrived the fire alarm went off and no one so much as blinked. Staff said it was a common occurrence and they and the few patrons ignored the shrill alarm as best they could. It silenced a few minutes before our meal concluded. Draw your own conclusions.
