We eat at the Asia Bistro a least once a week but, lately the service as been getting poor. This Thursday we got there after work at a little before 1900 as we always order the special, which ends at 1900, as our first course. The place was busy and the waiter took some time to get to our table. When he did he said it was “2 minutes” after 1900 and the special was over. I explained to him and the manger that we have been waiting at our table for a waiter but they said the computer would not let them do it. Well they lost a good customer and they really didn’t seem to care. Richard

DO NOT EAT at this restaurant. My friend and I had a miscommunication with our order, where we received and were forced to pay for additional sushi that we did not order. The miscommunication was due in part to the waiter's poor english, and inability to describe what was included with the meal. We didn't realize we received additional sushi.Things like this happen - miscommunications are common. We spoke to the wait staff, and to the manager to resolve the issue. I was appalled at the complete disregard for the customer, absolutely no desire to try to keep our business (and the business of everyone we know). The manager would not acknowledge the waiter's inability to properly describe the entree, despite the fact that he could not produce an intelligible explanation of the entree, or answer our question when the manager asked him to repeat what he said to us. There was a legitimate misunderstanding, and the manager would not make any accommodation whatsoever on the bill. We didn't expect them to write off the cost of all the extra food, but there wasn't any effort to reduce our added costs, despite their employee's inability to communicate effectively. The situation escalated to a heated -raised voices - 10 minute "he said she said" exchange between the manager, the waiter, myself and my friend. In effect, this manager would rather have a huge scene take place in her restaurant, than take some responsibility for her incompetant staff and help the customer leave feeling the situation had been resolved fairly. The manager didn't have any concern for whether or not we returned to her restaurant, and the fact that I told her I would be contacting the better business bureau. In light of her disregard for our patronage, I suggest you show disregard for her business and choose one of the other many sushi restaurants in the area.

Stay Away! I had the peking duck rolls and a wonton and noodle soup. The peking duck rolls are served with a hoison sauce which burnt my tounge with my first bite..."Who serves a boiling hot dipping sauce?" The flavor of the dish was good so if i didnt burn myself i think i would have given a 3 out of 5 for the dish. Then we get to the wonton soup. It was almost inedible because the usage of dried mushrooms. FYI, If you ever use dried mushrooms in a soup you have to soak them in a separate pot of water first then put them in the soup or else you end up with a soup that literally tastes like dirt! Good thing for me that my tounge was half burnt off. The only good thing that i can say is that the restaurant was pretty, but that really doesnt matter if you dont know how to cook.
