East Asian Bistro

The place is OK. Not anything special. We were told it was a 20 minute wait and had to wait one and a half hour for a table. Food is OK, nothing special. There are better places to spend your
money.

Great sushi! Good asian food. Nice dumplings, and good Hot and Sour Soup to start the meal. Always have sushi roll and sashimi, but they have a nice offering of asian plates, plus a couple of teppanyaki tables, that are always the center of attention. Good attentive service. Nice casual environment. My go to place for a nice place for a quiet dinner with a friend.

Malísimo. Pedimos los potstickers de pollo, kung pao chicken y el oriental vegetable fried rice. Nada tenia sabor y todo estaba salado. La calidad del pollo estaba malísima. Y para terminar me sirvieron 3 potstickers con una salsa aguada y me cobraron $ 7 por ellos ($ 36.80 en total por la orden).
En resumidas cuentas, espero que le hagan una revisión a sus recetas porque nada tenia sabor. Y verdaderamente me da pena porque hace años que no iba y hoy solamente fui porque queda cerca de mi negocio. Este es mi primer review de Unilocal — lo tuve que escribir porque deverdad no puedo creer lo mala que estaba la comida. Salen mejor buscando una receta online y haciendolo en sus casas.

Great!!! All rolls where good but if u truly what to have the full gastronomic experience, ordering the specialty rolls is a must! I recommend the Explosion roll. It taste amazing. The ambiance is elegant and dim. Good for a date.

Very good quality to price relationship. Portions are ok. Chef skills could improve, needs more showmanship. If eating salmon ask for it to be cooked just a bit extra time in the pouch. Mignon and pork is probably the best combination. Ask all meats to be cooked to medium, not well done as tepanaki is quite hot. You will also be served faster. Fried rice portions are big but not as flavorful as a chinese rice (is not the same!). Miso soup is a little salty. Tip is added automatically. But still less expensive than going to Condado.

Food (Sushi) — We ordered about six diferent sushi rolls. The sushi had too much rice, the fish was bland with no taste and had no veggies. Even the wassabi had a wierd taste and didnt mixed well with the soy sauce as i like to make a brown paste. The service was kind of slow, I had to beg for water several times. If you are hardcore sushi eater stay away from this place.

One of my favorite restaurants. The food is excellent but we go their because the people are the best. The wife and I always do the Teppanyaki table and usually order the crap rangoons appetizer.

The food was good. Don’t be surprised if they cook the meat and give you only half of it and throw the rest away! This happened to my fiancée. That’s a waste of food! Horrible! The waitress apparently had too many tables and didn’t tend to us very well either. The cook was very serious and didn’t interact much with the group. I probably won’t come back here.

Food:
— Crab rangoons: 4 pieces, lacked cream cheese. ³⁄₅
— Black Dragon Roll: not bad, not great. Imitation crab, avocado roll, topped with eel and sauce. ³⁄₅
— Singapore Fried Noodles: very bland. I hardly tasted the curry. Shrimp, chicken, eggs, red bell peppers, and onions. It was better the day after when I seasoned it with curry powder, garlic, and crushed red peppers. 3.5÷5
— Mongolian Beef: very tasty! The meat was tender and flavorful. Beef, onions, red and green bell peppers. ⁴⁄₅
Service: We were greeted and seated immediately. I came with a party of 25 and half the people got their food first. The other half received theirs 15 – 20 minutes later. And unlucky me received mine’s another 10 minutes later. By the time I got my food my friends were almost done with theirs. Luckily I got appetizers or else I would have been furious. My hungry face isn’t that pretty! lol. It was still frustrating, though. I had to ask about my food to make sure it wasn’t forgotten to be put in. Then my friend asked again because it still hadn’t come after 15 minutes of me asking. ²⁄₅
Final thoughts: The food was mediocre and the service was not consistent. I may come back to try their hibachi. I probably won’t have to wait as long for my food :/

Sushi was good. The best deal is the teppanyaki lunch for about $ 10, otherwise this place is very pricey even for common chinese dishes. Worst is the soda refills (from machine not cans) are charged each time,

The name «Asian Bistro» comes with the promise of a an oriental restaurant with a personality of its own. The sad reality is that this hodgepodge of Chinese, Japanese, and American Teppanyaki can’t make up its mind what it is supposed to be and does not get any of the styles right. Asian Fusion it is not. A menu of over 160 items is ridiculously ambitious and ends up equally lacking in quality and presentation.
Your first challenge will be avoiding the tables that do not wobble and the second will be finding a pleasant location in the over-​sized and understaffed faux oriental main dining room. Service will be courteous but not particularly fast or diligent. You will find no seasonings at the table so you will have to settle for the bland and overcooked dishes and white rice. My Szechuan Phoenix ($ 18.00 which they spell Scechuan Phonex) had everything julienne shredded including the beef. It was served spicy hot because I asked — totally ignoring the fact that this is meant to be a hot dish when served anywhere else. The Lotus Delight ($ 20.00) ordered by my wife (also supposed to be hot) was, in her opinion, inedible and affected her stomach for the rest of the day.
We gave our waitress some feedback about or disappointment, but were never approached by the owner who was too busy to listen to clients. On the positive side they offer free WiFi but we were told that is was not working. The fact that this was not revealed until we had ordered automatically results in the loss of an additional star in my book.
We left very disappointed with no intent to return. This is mass production at its worse and I would not expect their other locale called «Sushi» at 74 Condado ave. in San Juan to fare much better.

Confortable spacious location, Very good food and corteous service !

Good food, attentive staff. A little on the pricy side. Recommend to make reservations.

I ate wayyyyyy too much chinese food in my entire life. I have been to china to taste the authentic food. I am chinese and always ate chinese food. So, I can tell if one is good and authentic chinese food or good chinese food but already altered to fit local taste or bad chinese food.
This one is good chinese food but already altered to fit local taste. We ordered shezhuan phoenix which was chicken and beef with some sauce. It was plain. Shezhuan should be a little bit spicier. This one plain. The presentation was good though. So, when i ate it, i have to add more salt to make it tastier.
The mongolian beef was good but not great. A little bit tastier than shezhuan phoenix that we ordered. The beef was tender and the sauce add the richness of the beef. The fried rice was basic fried rice. Nothing bad or good. Really, just a very normal basic fried rice.
A little bit overprice for what we got, but i bet asian food is kind of expensive in puerto rico since we could not find a lot of asian restaurants here. One thing that i like is the atmosphere. And don’t surprise when you see the number of the waiters are more than the customers (at least when i went there, that’s what i saw).
Just an OK

Well guysss, this review it’s the best one yet! Went to this wonderful restaurant Nov. 20, 2010 and let me tell ya it was awesome. My boyfriend and I ordered appetizers, the hot rolls of tuna and crabstick and they were mmmmmmmmmmmm… delish considering I had never tasted them. And then we ordered the sushi pizza of shrimp and crabstick, a little bit spicy but awesome!
We then decided to order some fried rice with chicken and the pepper steak and OMG, excellent!!! For drinks I ordered some wine and my boyfriend hot Sake… mmmmmmmmmm…very good! For me, once again, this restaurant is an excellent choice to just have a great meal or enjoy a great evening with some hot rolls and/​or sushi with some great company, of course. For me this place, as always, it’s a good as it gets and WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY TO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
But I guess next time I will consider to demand a better service from our waiter since we had to always call him for some service, :-)

This place is OK. Fine food lovers may find it overpriced for what you get (not Budatai quality), but still enjoyable. Peking duck is good, sushi rolls are good too (again, don’t expect the nice New York or LA type of quality).

I’ve gone here for lunch a couple of times, and I think the Chinese food here is the most authentic that I can find in Puerto Rico (although, I am on a continuous search).
I have had the Hong Kong Pan fried noodles, wonton soup, and half of a roast duck… yes they have roast duck! The noodles and the duck were like comfort home foods for me. The beef and the chicken in the noodles tasted kind of off to me but the sauce was exactly how I imagined it to be. Thanks to East Bistro, I no longer have to wait until I visit home to satisfy my Chinese food cravings. I still have to try the rest of the menu to ensure that this is the real deal.
The only down side about this restaurant is the high prices, but I guess most Chinese restaurants in PR are pretty expensive. I was a little sadden to pay $ 20 for my duck because I knew that I could get half a duck for like 8 bucks in NYC. But at the end of the day, I was just happy to get the chance to eat duck.

This restaurant is linked to Opium and East Sushi from Condado and it’s their flagship location.
The food and presentation are excellent. The place is more for locals as most tourist will not know where Guaynabo is. It’s a fun place, whenever I drop by all I see are smiling happy faces. It’s in the shopping area of Guaynabo and the restaurant has ample parking. Throw a coin by the Buddha and make a wish as you enter…
People enjoy their experience here, whether it’s sitting in front of the teppanyaki table for the show to come. Now if you’ve never had teppanyaki before. You got to try it out. The kids will love it, your date will love it. it’s quite interactive and the chefs there are really good. I say that because I’m use to seeing asian teppan chefs but seems like there’s a number of really good PR teppan chefs as well. I would go with the filet. Excellent and cooked just right. Have your guest order the chicken or shrimp and share. It’s a pretty filling meal but go ahead and order a few rolls to start.
The rest of the restaurant is catered to large parties. i mean enormous parties if you need the space. There’s a back room and I’m sure they can do a special menu for you. The tables are primarily set to serve asian fusion which is basically different chinese, japanese, and thai like dishes. All done very well and lots of similarities to something you would see at a PF Changs. Now this is not a chinatown like experience, nor is it suppose to be. Go there for bday parties and dates and family gatherings.
The sushi bar is actually very good and they do nice specialty rolls. I will try to get more descriptive on an update but it’s been a month or so since I’ve been there…
I’m thinking you can get a great meal with apps entrees to share, maybe some fried rice and a drink for about $ 30 or so. Teppanyaki may cost you a bit more… But if your reading this. just for fun… ask the waiter to get Steven and tell him that you would like the «Godfather Special» and you may get a nice free treat :)
