What a gem of a spot! I stopped in recently and ordered the chicken larb and mushroom fritters. Both were delicious! The fritters had great flavor and texture, and the larb was well-seasoned and satisfying. My only small note is that I wish the larb had packed a bit more heat. I ordered medium and was hoping for a little more of a kick. The menu has plenty to explore with lots of tempting options to try on my next visit. The space itself has a really nice vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are absolutely wonderful! Friendly, attentive and welcoming from the moment you walk in. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. Highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

Its been over a year since my last review. I was passing through the Vancouver area on Sunday and decided to stop in for a late lunch (about 2 pm). Kelly greeted and seated me. I promptly gave her my order as I decided what to get on my drive over to the restaurant - papaya salad and drunken noodles with chicken and a Thai iced teas with coconut milk. They passed the test of time! The food was as great as I remembered! And Kelly helped me with my choice of spice level, 4 was perfect to my taste! Thanks Kelly! Hopefully, I will get the chance to come back soon! read more

There are few places to dine at, in Felida. We love Asian food, so naturally, we decided that Local Asian Bistro would be a lovely place to have an early dinner, before the rush started. We were very pleased to be seated immediately. Beautiful ambience. Elegant. Perfect for a lovely date. The food was absolutely delicious. Wonderful presentation. Serving sizes were good. Enough to take home for lunch the next day. Reasonable prices. Another good reason we keep coming back. read more

I've been trying Asian food looking for the flavors we got back in Hawaii. This place is a little different yet very good! Seafood pad Thai was nice and limey, chicken larb too. The meat in the Panang curry was so soft, fried chickens were pretty good. We'll be back for sure. read more

Standout: Service was excellent during our visit with very attentive workers. I really appreciate the diversity of their menu, as they have highlight dishes from different Asian cultures. My basil fried rice was tasty. Do note that I expected it to be saltier/more flavorful. You can ask them for hot sauce and chili sauce though. Chicken wings were crispy and has fish sauce on the side for dipping. Thai green tea latte was creamy and so good. Chill, cozy vibes inside with "World Market-esque" trinkets. There are also festive decorations everywhere when we visited in December :D read more

What a find! I just moved here from California and this restaurant is Amazing!!! Great service, I was seated in a timely manner and had perfect attention at my table. The food is outstanding. I tried their spicy dumplings, Thai salad and Green Curry. I was in heaven. Very generous servings and affordable prices. I found the first restaurant in the area, including Portland that checks all the boxes! Definite five stars!! read more

This was a nice treat to meet up with friends for a quick lunch. Really liked the larb and the green curry. Service was on top of everything. I normally don't comment on the flatware/plates but the food was nicely served on unique items. Easy parking in the small retail plex. read more

A local gem. The staff is awesome and so friendly. The menu is often updated, and the food is amazing. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and noise level is low and allows for great convo. This place is great for intimate meal, or to bring the kids. Phone and online orders are prompt and well packaged. Highly recommend. read more

The food, when you get it is wonderful! The service however is lacking! I was dining in for the third time because the last were wonderful and the staff on those days professional and nice. I was seated by the waitress, a young girl in a baseball cap that had her phone on. Total ambience gone. I placed my order of the Panang stew and waited. And waited, while watching my favorite new restaurant became busy with uber eats, and other wonderful drivers waiting. I asked the baseball waitress if my dinner was coming out and I was informed that takeout is a priority for this restaurant. I ordered a white wine and an additional lettuce wrap dish to go. 15 minutes later, three parties sent away in the waiting area. Four delivery people sitting at the entrance, no room for patrons. Great food, less than acceptable service that night. If you see servers that treat you less than, leave! read more

Great servers, high quality food, good portion sizes and all day happy hour on Sundays! Enjoyed dinner with a friend on Sunday. High quality calamari starter with nice batter and not overdone squid like some places. Chicken teriyaki was tender and good sized portion. Rockfish lettuce wraps had plenty of tasty fish portions over a nice bed of peanuts and diced veggies. Drinks were tasty and didn't skip on alcohol portion. Dinners were served only moments apart (unlike some places) and about our only suggestion would be better temperature control in dining area it was a bit cold. Pleasant decor for a neighborhood restaurant and nice touches like a blue fish shaped plate for the seafood dinner, and an excellent first time visit and will be back again! read more

Local Asian Bistro - Calamari with sweet chili sauce and Rockfish salad wraps (special, not on regular menu). - Thai Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

We tried this little bistro for the first time and were impressed with the simple but elegant ambiance as soon as we walked in. The staff came across as warm and friendly and glad we were there. We enjoyed Tom Kha soup with tofu to start, which had a delicious depth of flavor. Next came the entrees: Green Curry with beef and Pad Lee Mao with Chicken. The latter was recommended by our server, who patiently waited as my husband scanned the menu and finally asked for her suggestion. Green curry is one of my favorite Thai curries, but I wasn't that impressed with this one, which is why I can't award 5 stars to an otherwise flavorful meal. Their green curry's sauce lacked flavor and salt. I had to ask for a salt shaker (I could've gotten soy sauce but didn't want it to overpower). The beef seemed to be just thrown in the pot and boiled, rather than sautéed first to achieve a nice sear. It was gray in color. The Pad Lee Mao, on the on the other hand was full of flavor and fresh veggies. I particularly liked the green beans, cooked to perfection. The noodles were wide, which I liked as well. We will come back again to order more things but I think we will avoid the curries. It's a pan-Asian place so maybe they just aren't as good at curry? Try this place for yourself at this Felida eatery. read more

Fast service, delicious food, friendly staff. You ca eat outside if you want. Never had anything there that wasn't yummy.

Today was my husband's 80th birthday and we hosted a dinner for 14 at one of our favorite restaurants, Local Asian Bistro. From the first contact with the staff until the final bite of food, we could not have been more pleased. The food was delicious, as always, and the servers were gracious and welcoming. It was no easy task to serve that many people so many selections from appetizers through the entrees. They even served my husband's favorite cheesecake which they allowed us to bring with us. Thank you for a very memorable evening. It was fantastic! read more

Hometown USA Another Awesome Asian restaurant. Been in some kind of mood for it lately. This place is my new favorite. Our server Juliann was incredible. So friendly and talented in mixology. Had a few of the drinks and they were great. Drunken noodle with tofu and won ton soup. I order won ton soup like I order CFS for breakfast. It is how I measure authenticity. Off the chart good. I've had lots of won ton, especially in Seattle, and hands down this is better. Not going to say anything but this is my new fav. Look over the secret menu they give you read more

Very good food, good service and nice interior. Second time eating there. Will be going back again.

I went in for a late dinner but the cook decided he had finished cooking before preparing my meal. The stir fry I had was served firm and cold, the chicken was a little chewy and the rice was on the dry side, I wasn't impressed with either the food or the service, sorry to say. To be fair it was close to closing but the restaurant was supposed to be open for another hour. read more

What a lovely cafe to either dine in or pick up food to take home. The food is fresh, tasty, and not too oily. Great things to choose from on the menu, too! We love this little café and recommend it often. We've never ordered anything we weren't happy with. The service is welcoming and the dishes arrived promptly. My family and I think this is the best Asian cuisine in Vancouver. read more

Such a cute amazing Asian spot that's somewhat hidden but not hard to find. We live in NE Vancouver and went to Hazel Dell to do some shopping at Marshall's and I put in "sushi" in the yelp search bar and this place popped up. Instantly no longer wanted sushi once I saw the menu. We were welcomed and seated right away on a Tuesday evening. The restaurant is cute and can pass as a date night location (any place other than home is a date night location no matter how nice hehehe). Lots of seating and some that can accommodate large parties. The menu has so many options! We had fun looking at the different choices. I went with one of their specials "Bha Mee Tom Kha Noodle" which is an egg noddle dish in this delicious coconut curry broth with notes of sour and umami flavor. If you've been to Khao Moo Dang in Portland, it's somewhat similar just add the sour into it. Finished the entire bowl no issues. Just YUM! They use real crab meat for their crab fried rice. You can never go wrong with a simple wok egg fried rice with crab. I love simplicity- and this was heavenly. We paired that with their fish sauce wings- which was one we questioned since we thought it was going to be sticky wings, but we got deep fried wings that tasted like it was marinated in lemon grass and the sauce served on the side was the fish sauce part. So that was a little weird for us. No complaints here though. We would LOVE to be back and try other menu items. read more

Moved to the area this past summer! Finally had a chance to try Local Asian Bistro. The waitress was so helpful in making recommendations! My cousin was visiting from SoCal where there are many many Asian restaurants to choose from so decided to take her to lunch here to see what she thought. We had an amazing soup made with coconut milk. We also had the green papaya salad which was so light and refreshing! We enjoyed the food so much that we went back for dinner a couple days later! Had the salad & veg Pad Thai (pictured)! So yummy! Oh, did I mention I am Asian. Truly 5 stars!!! read more

We got a reservation for 10 yesterday for family and some out of town guests.. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff as usual are very nice and attentive. We ordered several appetizers and the main courses were great! Many in the family are vegetarian so most things can be made with tofu. We do order takeout from there and also eat in too. So glad this restaurant is in our neighborhood! read more

Great Food - Reasonably Priced! Always enjoy the food, ambience and service when eating in and a great spot to order DoorDash from. Food is always fresh, great ingredients and delightfully flavored. We love their fresh rolls and of the Thai and Vietnamese restaurants in the area the absolutely best. I've ordered their pork dishes regularly and the meat is never dry nor greasy. Wife is vegetarian and enjoy their veggie dishes - light and flavorful. Bon appetite read more

The Local Asian Bistro is a new spot for us. A little out of the way but we wanted try some place different. No regrets!!! You might think all Asian/Thai places are the same. In particular we were looking for a place that accommodates vegetarians. They have a few dishes that are vegetarian and tasty. What I like most about the Local Asian Bistro is the vibe. The atmosphere was peaceful, clean and comfortable. Even though our order was to-go, next time I'll park and stay. read more

The food and service was great. Nice to see an Asian restaurant in Vantucky's west side area. Ordered the basil eggplant with beef. I think I got the Asian 2 (of 5) for the level of spicyness. My dinner companion got the 2 (of 5) American spicy level for his Tom Yum noodles. read more

Came in for lunch around noon on a Saturday. Not too busy, only two tables occupied inside. It is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Greeted as we walked in and directed to pick a table. Love the modern decor with cool lamp shades hanging over the dining area and large light bulbs over the bar area. They even have pillows available for customers sitting on the bench seating. After reading through their menu and reading reviews on Yelp, we decided on shrimp salad rolls, calamari and tempura shrimp and vegetables. Everything was delicious! The salad rolls were fresh, and we loved the cucumber wedges. The peanut sauce was yummy with the chunks of peanuts. The tempura shrimp and vegetables were really good too. It included broccoli, green beans and carrots for vegetables, and large shrimp. We were very happy with our choices and left extremely satisfied and full between the two of us. The service was good, but slow. As it began to get busier, she didn't have any help, so it took a long time for our bill, and water glasses were not refilled. The dining room could have been cleaner too...crumbs everywhere, even on our table. They use placemats and have all tables set up before you walk in. It didn't look like tables were completely cleared before wiping down. Overall, we had a nice time and enjoyed delicious food. We liked the swanky music playing...jazz I think. We'll definitely be back to try more of their menu items. Highly recommend. read more

If you love great Thai food this is your spot! My go to it at any Thai restaurant is always the Tom Ka Gai soup and Steak salad that we can, and it always hits here! Everything we've ever ordered is always spot on though. The staff is always super friendly and helpful and if you order to go, it's almost always and I mean like 99.9% of the time on time. The restaurant itself is super cozy and I love that they have a heated patio for those cool nights with lots of seating both in inside and outside. To top it all off, the price point is easy on the wallet too! read more

Tom Kha soup was incredible. I plan to enjoy more of their food if this soup is indicative of what they can do.

Location is great and when they open the patio it looks wonderful. Place was busy. Staff friendly but a little slow. ( again it was a bit buy. We ordered the crab fried rice and pork eggplant with Thai basil. Food tasted fresh and was cooked to perfection. The gyoza was alright but you could tell they were store bought and not worth the $8 charge. This place is a little expensive so be prepared. We had 2 entries, gyoza, and a Thai ice tea... was $50.00. read more

I have been here three times - twice with friends and once with my husband. My first few times - I was blown away with the chicken Pra Ram. We ordered the salad rolls and calamari for appetizer. They have delicious peanut sauce here!! Calamari was delicious - especially with adding some red chili. We also got the Lychee wine drink which was delicious and refreshing! We ordered the spicy mussels and they were hearty in size. We added some red chili for more flavor. I'd probably add onion since it's only being accompanied by bell peppers - for next time! The Pra Ram with chicken was disappointing this time. Previously it came with a juicy and well cooked piece of chicken. This time - it was only accompanied by the dry, thin chicken you put in a soup only. Huge bummer since I had been craving for so long. There are some great dishes here, and definitely recommend! Kind and attentive service! A definite 4 with the right dish choices! read more

Small portions. Food's ok. The worst part is false advertising. They put "wontons" in as part of their Tom Yum noodle, but instead they were inly 2 deep fried wonton sheets, no filling! To the owner: don't put "wontons" when there isn't going to be actual wontons in it. It's false advertisement. read more
