When I first entered this restaurant I was expecting something similar to pretty much all of the asian restaurants in the area. Given the fairly unflattering exterior I wasn't really expecting much. I was incredibly surprised, not just by the size of the Asian Bistro, but also the lavishly decorated interior. What was nice is that it wasn't over the top and it felt very comfortable.
I must say that the service was beyond my expectations and I was very happy that they didn't immediately bombard us with questions about what we wanted to drink. I went with Kirin Ichiban, a light Japanese lager, which I enjoyed very much. After a very long look at the menu I found the holy grail. Please understand that as a foodie this is a dish that I have deemed as my top 5 favorite dishes of all time, Prawns with honeyed walnuts. I love this dish, I have been looking for it for a very long time in this area and have not found it until now.
So naturally I ordered the prawns and also the red dragon roll for an appetizer of sorts. The red dragon roll was incredible, I highly recommend trying it, but the peace de resistance was the prawns.

The picture above is not from the Asian Bistro, however it looks almost exactly like the dish I recieved, with the exception of the lettuce which was replaced with shredded cabbage.
I cannot explain the joy I got from eating this, it's sweet, which is strange for me as I am more of a savory persausion, but for some reason it just works with this. The sauce was amazing and the shrimp cooked to perfection. From this dish alone I would try anything on their menu. I will definitely be back.
