The actual inside of this place is well lit and quite at lunch time. I can see this place being a hot spot for drinks since there are margarita flight options. I had a Bueno salad add chicken and it was great. So flavorful I didn't need dressing which is good because it doesn't come with any. The tortilla strips and the tortilla chips with the salsa were very fresh and warm. I feel like tortilla chips at a Mexican restaurant is so important and vital to the overall experience of the food you get. My bestie got the pork carnitas and he loved it. He even ate his leftovers cold, and it was delicious according to him. The tortillas came warm, however they did bring him flour tortillas after asking for corn but again the waitress doesn't speak very much. I'm not really sure why she would be waiting tables but needless to say it was a great experience and certainly was authentic.

The place is not much to look at, but it is clean, and there are a few tables. I think 95% of their business is carryout or delivery. I normally don't like places with the pictures of the food above the counter but I rolled the dice and I ate there. The Sesame chicken is crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside and really flavorful! The egg roll was pretty good and the fried rice was really good. It was filling (I brought some home), but I didn't feel weighed down and it wasn't greasy and I didn't feel overwhelmed by sodium. I peeked in the kitchen and it looked pretty clean. Honestly this is probably better than 4 out 5. I will be back!

The traditional Thai artwork and atmosphere inside was so cool. The woman who served me was incredibly attentive (owner maybe?) and kept filling up my diet cokes (I might have a problem but mind ya business!) and I so appreciated it! I ordered the spring rolls which were HUMONGOUS. I also ordered my favorite Thai curry, Panang, and was blown away by the flavor set. The prices were wonderful, the service was great, and the atmosphere was fabulous. So thankful to find this place - I will be back!

I really don't know what the deal is but it seems like they are slipping lately.

Good Thai food. Service is fine and the lady is polite but short. The ambience is okay. I have seen a steady decline in the quality of food at Thailand restaurant. It's disheartening.

The music is always pleasant and the lighting is romantic. 10/10 always come here. My favorite sushi/japanese style place in the entire metro area. If you haven't come here DO IT.

However, I found their "authentic" very different than my version of authentic. Truth be told, I didn't expect much since we are in a very non-Asian part of the country. I would actually have been shocked if the food was the quality I am accustomed to in NYC. Most of what we had tasted like bad Chinese take out food served in a nicer sit down restaurant. I wish it was better, but I guess I'll just have to skip Chinese cuisine while in this part of town.

We started off with some fried green tomatoes.  Everyone does their little twist on them and this place did the same.  Personally, I am good with them as is and maybe some remoulade for dipping.  Here they had a pepper sauce that came with them and cheese melted atop the FGTs.  Not bad and nothing killed or overpowered the flavor from the FGTs.  However, I did wish that the pepper sauce had a bit more kick.  I cannot remember the name but the drink of the much was a peach based drink.  It was good and it was not just some peach flavored alcohol but it was made with peach puree.  They had me at peach when she ran through the specials.    For the main entrée it was the ribeye at a medium rare with fries and asparagus.   You get a choice of a bordelaise or garlic aioli to accompany your steak or whatever you want to dip in it.  Steak was cooked to the medium rare as I requested and that is a good start because we know there those places that consider what you ask for as just a suggestion.  Good flavor from the steak with no need for the sauce as I found out and I just enjoy asparagus.    Good experience.  Despite this being my first time here this place gave the vibe as a solid choice.  One of those places where when you are unsure of what you want but don't want to risk something new because you are hungry or with someone who cannot come to terms with their food desires.  This is a that old, trusted place you can rely on when you are hungry and good service.  A first experience that went very well.

Ofc I scroll through Yelp (as one does - literally hi friend!) and one of the top rated is The Bistro. I whip on over there and, albeit confused with the parking sitch (you can park in the back and go in through the side where the restrooms are, or you can go in through the front? Yo no sé.) I was greeted by this gorgeous host who promptly sat me and a drooooopp deeeeaaaddd waitress Annie T, don't get it twisted, came with the suggestions and shoutouts I couldn't be more excited to get. I decided on The Bistro Bee Sting (yall, I mean come on.. look at that photo. DELISH!) and a turkey melt with some cheese grits as a side. So friggin good. A bit expensive but honestly 10/10 will be back. And GET THE BEE STING! I'm still drooling. 8.4/10 only because of price, but service, ambiance, and flavor were all 10's.

I went with the brisket sandwich which was good but does not come with sides, two of my kids got burgers and added a side of fries and Mac and cheese, one liked the burger one liked the Mac and cheese, the fries were good as well. My oldest went with a two meat platter and added some Mac and cheese- all around besides the 6 year old they said portions were small but good.
