This is a first time I have eaten here. The food was good the service was unhurried which made me feel at ease doing through the menu. The menu is a bit much. They have Thai, Chinese and Japanese vegan styled Asian meals. If there was a critique I think that the menu has too many items which makes selection harder but everything seems like it would be delicious. What I had with my family was very good. Very important to me is service! The service was friendly and I would return. We accidentally left our doggy bag and our host ran out to our car to give it to us. That's good service. The ambiance in the restaurant could use some updating but it's not bad. It will not stop me from going there again.

Amazing food and love the atmosphere. It is quiet, welcoming, and cozy and served delicious food. Very kind employee as well. Will definitely return!

I was thrilled to find this restaurant as I was passing through on a road trip. I highly recommend it. I ordered: 1. Tofu Satay. Loved it and would definitely order again. 2. Mongolian Beef. Very yummy. I am not a big fan of mock meats (try to stick to whole foods) but ordered it because it was recommended on Yelp. I really liked the seasoning. 3. Napa cabbage stuffed with enoki mushrooms. I liked it and would order again but the sauce may not be for everyone. It has a unique flavor and quite a bit of garlic. Next time I come to/through Bakersfield, I'll definitely be back!

Great place for vegan options! Nice relaxing restaurant. Eating good food is self care <3 Thanks again

The best vegetarian restaurant ever in Ca! We came for twice in these two days and really love this restaurant. The chef and server they all are friendly staff plus the important part is that the food are awesome! Our favorite food is Lardna, BBQ pork, and hot sour soup. Definitely will come back next time when we visiting Bakersfield again.

The food is great, well prepared, plus our server was very good. The restaurant was a little dark, but clean. Excellent choice of Vegan meals with wide variety to choose from.

Enjoyed a quiet dinner here with Tom Yum soup and fresh rolls. They make their meals from scratch with fresh ingredients and herbs. Fast and friendly service. One of my favorite places in Bakersfield.

So delicious! So glad we stumbled across Asian Vegan Bistro in our search! We began with the fresh roll appetizer (2 pieces-forgot to photo), ordered the spicy tofu & eggplant entree and yellow curry soy chiken bowl, entrees included choice of rice; we chose brown rice. This is a definite must stop when back in the area, alas over 4.5 hrs by car from home.

Love this restaurant and the variety of Asian dishes they offer! They were all delicious! I especially enjoyed the Thai noodle dishes. So good!

My wife and I have been getting food from here every other Friday for the past 2 months now and we absolutely love it. The quality and portions are great and their prices are very reasonable. I’d compare this place to another one of my favorite spots (Chef’s Choice) and almost feel like they’re equivalent. I highly recommend this place to everyone, even those that are not vegan, you will not be disappointed.

Ordered food to go. I'm Vegan but boyfriend is a meat eater. We ordered vegetable pad Thai, 'chicken' yaki udon, a small side of steamed rice, a large side of steamed vegetables, an order of egg rolls, an order of steamed vegetable dumplings and a fruit tea (green tea w/ pineapple). Prices were great. Portions were great as well. All the food was hot and fresh and seriously so good. Even my meat eater boyfriend liked everything. He ordered the 'chicken' yaki udon and that was amazing. We stopped for food while we were passing through on our way to Fresno. I'm mad we didn't order another yaki udon because that was seriously sooooooo freaking delicious. 10/10. Owners are nice and it's so nice to be able to order anything and everything ai want from the menu wince it's all 100% Vegan ♡♡♡♡♡

So excited to have found this gem on a weekend trip! The chow mein tasted EXACTLY like my favorite local Chinese buffet that closed years ago and nowhere since has even come close, so it was super nostalgic. Service was great, our server was friendly and everything was delicious (ordered a bit of an odd variety out of excitement). The sort of jungle themed decor was fun as well. We had the chow mein, honey walnut shrimp, Mongolian beef, and cucumber avocado roll. I honestly regret not ordering extra to go and packing the cooler with it to have when I got home because it was also very reasonably priced, my partner and I left full (with leftovers) for less than $50.

This place has AMAZING vegan food! Their “beef” is really well seasoned, I would recommend the beef chow mien and the Mongolian beef. The decor could be updated but don’t let that frighten you, it’s worth a try.

The food was very good. I ordered the kung pao chicken "extra spicy" along with the mango sticky rice and both were absolutely fantastic. The service and atmosphere were very good, the staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely go again the next time we are in Bakersfield.

I’m visiting from out of town and can’t wait to visit this place again next time I am back! The atmosphere is charming and unique. The menu is large with an overwhelming amount of vegan options! I love that they offer Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Sushi in one spot. I went with my meat-eating husband and we both truly enjoyed everything we had (firecracker soy shrimp, lobster sushi roll, orange chicken, and steamed napa roll). The orange chicken was our favorite, absolutely phenomenal! We were greeted quickly upon entry and server was kind.

I remember when this place was a Sizzler 30 years ago! And then Ichiban sushi (owned by my uncle), and then Shangri-la (where the current decor is from), and now Asian Vegan Bistro. I've been here twice now, and the food has been great so far! The first time, I went for my birthday with a bunch of friends. Most of the food we tried was really good! The only exception was the tonkatsu ramen, which tasted a little funny. I had the spicy beef noodle soup, which was under the "Chinese menu" so I thought it was going to be more like Taiwanese beef noodle soup, but it ended up more like bun bo hue (which is Vietnamese), with rice noodles. It was still good, just not what I was expecting. The walnut shrimp was also decent but could have used more sauce (my standard for walnut shrimp was the version at Panda Palace back in the day). Happy there is a third fully-vegan restaurant in Bakersfield now (after Better Bowls and Vida Vegan)!

The best vegan food I have ever had. All the dishes we ordered were great. The service was excellent. The taste was great. The price was very reasonable. Would definitely recommend.

The food here has always been delicious. The staff is very friendly, really kind, considerate and go the extra mile to remember you. They are also very considerate of allergies or food intolerances. The building may look a little odd style wise considering the menu but don't let that fool you. It's a wonderful place. Always been really great. I particularly love the braised green beans, and stuffed mushrooms, and dad loves the hot and sour soup. But everything has been delicious. Highly recommend.
