Asiana Bistro - Capitol Hill

The only place in America that makes fried rice the right way. I've been to so many Asian restaurants that served fried rice, only to be disappointed. I only discovered Asiana recently and had their fried rice. They make it with love and time just like my dad used to make it when I was younger. Each grain is browned by sauce, shiny, and charred just enough at the edges to give it a rich and satisfying taste. Too many other restaurants just cheat by adding food coloring to their rice or lightly fry it or drown it in sauce and then add veggies, but you actually need to use the right amount of ingredients and cook it long enough with the right equipment to make it perfect. Writing this review because I just recently discovered that Asiana closed and has been replaced by a new Japanese restaurant. I'm sure it is good, but I will once again need to search for a new restaurant that makes the fried rice right. I hope the previous owners/chefs open a new restaurant elsewhere I'll drive as far as I need to to get that fried rice!

Fast, fresh, moderately priced. Paid around $80 for two salmon avocado rolls and two orange chicken dishes (good size, each came with two balls of rice), all to go, plus 10% tip.

Great food. Top tier teriyaki. Recommend ordering an extra sauce.The sushi options online don’t represent all they can do. Salmon Nigiri is $8 for a 2 piece order. I found the salmon nigiri was better tasting and a better deal than the salmon roll. The salmon roll, while affordable doesn’t have the flavor or other places slightly more expensive more complex rolls.Affordable prices. Large portion sizes. The pad Thai was really good.Expansive selection.

The food is good, but the prices are higher than I expected. And it's not like the portion sizes make up for the price either.

We ordered 3 menus. Phat thai, Pho, teriyaki chicken rice.Every menu's taste, quantity etc was perfect!
