Spicy pork with kimchi and rice
Dia D.

We went here for a very nice lunch. I have the spicy pork which came with kimchi and rice and my husband had the fish with sweet chili sauce. All of the food had nice flavor and spiciness. The kimchi was particularly good: spicy and on the fresh side. The restaurant has an urban chic feel. Service was quick and friendly.

Tonkatsu ramen
Tammy D.

Earlier this month I checked out Ol Asian Bistro in Holland during tulip time! I was craving ramen so I was so excited to try their tonkatsu ramen and my friend got their kimchi fried rice. Their ramen was so good and filling so I had to take the rest to go. I've had tonkatsu before in GR and something different about this one was they had corn in it. It was an interesting addition, but overall loved the flavor of the broth. I highly recommend checking them out if you're in Holland for a mix of different Asian cuisines!

Red Curry
Letitia J.

We got the Korean Fried Chicken, Beef Broccoli Pineapple, and Red Curry. The Korean Fried Chicken was really great (a dish I'd get again). Super crispy on the outside and enough meat on the inside. The Beef Broccoli Pineapple was quite good. Quite good but WAY overpriced. The blue highlighted dishes on the menu mean that they are the most expensive dishes in that set (which I thought was quite interesting and slightly humorous... but considerate of them??). I was curious about that dish because since it was $22, I expected it to be either a large portion, or a super delicious dish. It was good, but yeah... definitely not $22!! So overpriced! Red Curry was alright, a bit of a disappointment. We added chicken to it, but the content (bamboo shoot, bell peppers, chicken) was at a pretty minimal portion. I'd be open to trying more of their dishes (and getting their Fried Chicken again), but I'll pass on the other two dishes. Ambience was great - bright and big windows. I was surprised because they seemed to be super short of staff (especially how it was on a Saturday night). Maybe it was just a bad night to come in, but we needed to wait at least 5-7 minutes for a host to greet us. After sitting down, we waited for another 5 minutes for a waiter to come. The staff was great but super slow. I'll report some more in the future!

Good food to be found here! I like the quietness of the restaurant more of an intimate vibe. They don't have outdoor seating. Chicken satay might be the best I've ever had. I had a rice dish I got because it featured kimchi. It was more sausage ( hot dogs) than kimchi. I would have liked a little more of the kimchi which was crunchy as I like it and flavorful. I tried the pineapple rice and found that absolutely delicious so I recommend that one. Crispy rolls were great too. My friend said the Thai tea was more like the tea you get in Thailand. Speculation that it wasn't from a mix and maybe brewed? Either way she said it was the best she has had here in Michigan. They were short staffed but they let us know and the server was attentive and great. I'm looking forward to a return visit.

It was the first day of Lunar New Year and I had just finished an event at Sperry's Moviehouse and wanted something to eat. I noticed OI Asian Bistro and after quickly reviewing their posted menu, Nate and I decided this would be a great place to grab a bite to eat before heading back to Grand Rapids. The dining area is bright and inviting and we were seated right away. The menu consists of lots of different Asian cuisine, from Chinese to Japanese, Korean, and Thai. It was tough for me to choose so I asked our server for a recommendation and she mentioned the ramen. It was a chilly day so that was perfect! Nate got the spicy pork stir fry, one of our favorite Korean dishes. We also started with the steamed rice rolls, which I've never seen on any menus in Grand Rapids, and some green tea. The steamed rice rolls were really interesting and tasty. The texture wasn't as smooth and silky as some photos I've seen of this dish but I still enjoyed it. They were stuffed with some meat and topped with crispy onions and came with a sauce. The main dishes were presented nicely and were large portions. My ramen had a whole egg and some ground meat as well as a slice of pork belly. The broth was super rich and savory, and the noodles were the perfect texture. The pork belly wasn't as tender as I would have liked, but it didn't really take away from the dish overall. The spicy pork stir fry wasn't the best we've had, but it was still tasty. I'd definitely come back to OI Asian Bistro to try more of their menu!

Came here with the buddies after a strong day of work. I wouldn't say I was feeling strong but I sure was acting strong especially when I saw the ladies working here they seemed like they had a charm. Beef drunken noodles brought it. So tasty. For me, the perfect amount of food. The owner came and talked to us. I always appreciate that. It is true, she has a charm, but she is also humble. Being humble is a good attribute for people to have. Humble is a decent name for my son or daughter who I intend to raise one day but not put any pressure on them for what sport they play

Veggie egg rolls
Megan H.

Love this place! It's a great addition to downtown Holland. The food is always so flavorful, the meat is always tender, and their veggies are always so fresh. I love their ramen and their drunken noodles. They both have amazing flavor and you can add heat with their chili oil. Their staff is so friendly and on top of it. Even when they are busy, they get the food out pretty quick. They have bar seating but no alcohol.

Tonkotsu Ramen
Millie M.

Visiting the Holland area and we were looking for a good takeout to bring back to our hotel after a long day out. We happened to stumble upon Oi Asian Bistro upon our Google search and ordered a couple entrees. I had the Tonkotsu Ramen which was delicious! Perfect flavor, mix of ingredients, and exactly what we were looking for.

The best chicken  satay I think I've ever had !!

Second visit to OI Asian Bistro and it was just as good as the visit from a few years ago. Chicken Satay excellent and fresh, Won Ton Soup and Red Curry tofu all very good. The service was very welcoming even though I arrived near closing time. Will definitely make an effort to revisit this establishment when traveling in the area!

Pad Thai tofu

Very popular. Great ambience and great food. The service is fantastic. Parking on street and public garage is plentiful. All in all great place to eat.

We were fortunate enough to find this place while visiting the lovely beaches in the area. The location is a small part of the downtown area and can be easily missed. This would be unfortunate as it will be a destination spot for us in the future. The place was relatively empty when we arrived. We quickly got seated and our server was very nice. you do get a sense that it might be a family run business and it almost felt like we were interrupting them for dinner. Lol. There were several dishes ordered here and everyone of them was really good! I can say that we split the pineapple fried rice with everyone in the group and one person in our group loved it so much they wish they would've ordered it for their main meal. The general Taos chicken was the best I've had. The outside coating was crispy yet thin enough to not drown out the chicken. The sauce associated with it was flavorful but not too spicy. The beef plate that I ordered was probably the most expensive at $16, however it was really tasty. The meat was tender and super flavorful. The added vegetables in the plate just complemented everything. The various soup dishes were a bit spicy, so if you don't like spice, I would not recommend these. The pad Thai was good, however lacked a bit of flavor. It seemed everything was very fresh! I would highly recommend this place as a dinner or lunch spot. If you like Thai or Chinese type food, this place will not let you down.

For when you don't have the capacity to cook but want a fresh option, UpLeaf Cafe has you covered…read more I ordered their Tofu Rice Wrapper Roll to-go and was mostly satisfied. My two small critiques: (01) I didn't sense that the tofu was roasted as advertised, and (02) 2/4 rolls were stuck together, and my fillings partially spilled out. My two small praises: (01) the employee who made my roll did a stupendous job, and (02) all of the ingredients in my roll were fresh. Will I be back? You betcha!

I was genuinely excited to try this new restaurant as soon as I heard about it…read more Ambiance: It's a walk-up and order and seat yourself dining style. This worked well, and the overall vibe of the restaurant from the ordering to the seating choices is quick service. Service: The restaurant was relatively slow due to being so newly opened, but the service was great. The staff worked hard to answer our questions to the best of their ability. Food: The menu had a few mixups with the things that were labeled gluten-free, and the staff seemed unclear what the answers were until another person (owner) could be available. This is critical for my friend not to be sick. In the end, my dining partner kind of did her best guessing and was happily correct. However, we will probably not be back together until they get that sorted out. It's not worth getting her sick. Pros: - Efficient - great choices - delicious beverages - The food was so good I dug in before I even snapped the picture Cons: - despite being labeled gluten-free on the menu, there were clearly some mixups - beverages were quite pricey

I still dream about this soup. My husband (meat eater) has tried multiple sandwiches and he's loved all of them (and he's not even a sandwich guy). It can get busy there on weekends, especially during the lunch rush. But so worth it. If you're thinking about checking it out, do it!

Omg I'm drooling just thinking about this spot…read more We were starving after mini golf nearby and initially tried to stop in at a nearby full service restaurant (which we quickly realized was too busy), so we diverted here. We joined the line and chose to dine in. Selections of ours included egg salad and turkey and even PB&J! I tried multiple sandwiches and while they took a little while to get (they were also very busy!), we found a seat quickly, started eating our chips and did a bunch of people watching. There's water if you don't want to buy drinks but the food. Wow! The egg salad was delicious - so delicious. Turkey was also. Everything was freshly made, with high quality bread and toppings. Spot was bustling but clean and quick service considering how busy it was. Bathrooms were clean (they must have quick cleaning due to the amount of people). Quality food in a quality atmosphere. And I think they do events - the spot on one side had a sign that they were going to be closed for an event. That must be a great area for a party!
