Reviews for Asian vegan bistro in Bakersfield, CA
I was thrilled to find this restaurant as I was passing through on a road trip. I highly recommend it. I ordered: 1. Tofu... Satay. Loved it and would definitely order again. 2. Mongolian Beef. Very yummy. I am not a big fan of mock meats (try to stickto whole foods) but ordered it because it was recommended on Yelp. I really liked the seasoning. 3. Napa cabbage stuffed withenoki mushrooms. I liked it and would order again but the sauce may not be for everyone. It has a unique flavor and quite a bitof garlic. Next time I come to/through Bakersfield, I'll definitely be back! Read more
Enjoyed a quiet dinner here with Tom Yum soup and fresh rolls. They make their meals from scratch with fresh ingredients and... herbs. Fast and friendly service. One of my favorite places in Bakersfield. Read more
Love this restaurant and the variety of Asian dishes they offer! They were all delicious! I especially enjoyed the Thai noodle... dishes. So good! Read more
I remember when this place was a Sizzler 30 years ago! And then Ichiban sushi (owned by my uncle), and then Shangri-la (where... the current decor is from), and now Asian Vegan Bistro. I've been here twice now, and the food has been great so far! The firsttime, I went for my birthday with a bunch of friends. Most of the food we tried was really good! The only exception was thetonkatsu ramen, which tasted a little funny. I had the spicy beef noodle soup, which was under the "Chinese menu" so I thoughtit was going to be more like Taiwanese beef noodle soup, but it ended up more like bun bo hue (which is Vietnamese), with ricenoodles. It was still good, just not what I was expecting. The walnut shrimp was also decent but could have used more sauce (mystandard for walnut shrimp was the version at Panda Palace back in the day). Happy there is a third fully-vegan restaurant inBakersfield now (after Better Bowls and Vida Vegan)! Read more
So delicious! So glad we stumbled across Asian Vegan Bistro in our search! We began with the fresh roll appetizer (2... pieces-forgot to photo), ordered the spicy tofu & eggplant entree and yellow curry soy chiken bowl, entrees included choice ofrice; we chose brown rice. This is a definite must stop when back in the area, alas over 4.5 hrs by car from home. Read more
This place has AMAZING vegan food! Their ?beef? is really well seasoned, I would recommend the beef chow mien and the Mongolian... beef. The decor could be updated but don?t let that frighten you, it?s worth a try. Read more
This is a first time I have eaten here. The food was good the service was unhurried which made me feel at ease doing through the... menu. The menu is a bit much. They have Thai, Chinese and Japanese vegan styled Asian meals. If there was a critique I thinkthat the menu has too many items which makes selection harder but everything seems like it would be delicious. What I had withmy family was very good. Very important to me is service! The service was friendly and I would return. We accidentally left ourdoggy bag and our host ran out to our car to give it to us. That's good service. The ambiance in the restaurant could use someupdating but it's not bad. It will not stop me from going there again. Read more
Ordered food to go. I'm Vegan but boyfriend is a meat eater. We ordered vegetable pad Thai, 'chicken' yaki udon, a small side of... steamed rice, a large side of steamed vegetables, an order of egg rolls, an order of steamed vegetable dumplings and a fruit tea(green tea w/ pineapple). Prices were great. Portions were great as well. All the food was hot and fresh and seriously so good.Even my meat eater boyfriend liked everything. He ordered the 'chicken' yaki udon and that was amazing. We stopped for foodwhile we were passing through on our way to Fresno. I'm mad we didn't order another yaki udon because that was seriouslysooooooo freaking delicious. 10/10. Owners are nice and it's so nice to be able to order anything and everything ai want fromthe menu wince it's all 100% Vegan ????? Read more
