528 Asian Bistro

MY REVIEW: This remains one of our favorite destinations for sushi, however, on out last visit we were surprised how many of the other dishes contain MSG!

The very young waitress was clueless regarding my wife's dietary restrictions (no wheat), so we sent her to the kitchen to consult with the chef about two dishes. She returned with a list of ingredients, and while neither contained flour, both had MSG--a real turn-off in this day and age.

MY REVIEW: This place was good the first 2 visits. But, it has gone downhill. The last 3x's my food was arm at best, wrong, and very late. I choose them because they have free delivery. They quoted 3045 min but took over 90 min on 3 of my last orders. I also ordered the honey shrimp roll and got the california roll. They forgot the cashews in my cashew chicken dish. I said I was allergic to certain ingredients/ After going over it 3's, it was still in the dish. They offer no apologies or compensation for their screw-up. When they were over 90 min late; no one called to let me know. I had to call myself. If a place is busy, it is okay to say " we are very busy, delivery will take longer" I would never blame a place of being busy. Then, the food is cold when it arrived. The only good thing is free delivery and good sushi. I am not using them anymore. I use H*abi Asian Chef. Free delivery, on time, and consistent good food.

MY REVIEW: We really like this place. Service has always been good as has the food. Last time 2 adults and 3 kids had wonton & egg drop soups and shared 4 sushi rolls and 2 types of fried rice. Everything was delicious, but my favorite item was Indian Curry Vegetable Fried Rice. Though too spicy for a couple of the kids, the rest of us appreciated that they didn't shy away from the curry. The House Special Fried Rice was good as well, but I can't wait to return for the curry rice.

MY REVIEW: Wow, great food!!!!

We just moved to Friendswood and ordered delivery not knowing anything about this restaurant. What a find! The food is very fresh and tasty. Delivery time was as they said it would be. Try the Milner Roll,yum and the egg drop soup is the best I have ever eaten. A real winner for Friendswood.

MY REVIEW: The 1st time we stopped in was for appetisers We were generally impressed, so this time we wanted to have a full meal. It was really an excellent meal. Had egg drop soup, Alaska & California rolls, Chicken Eggplant in Garlic Sauce and Grilled Jumbo Shrimp and Redfish (which was accompanied by some of the best shrimp fried rice I have ever had). The place was doing a brisk business on a Wed. evening---a sure sign that well-prepared food is being offered. The food is plated nicely, the service is attentive and prices reasonable.

MY REVIEW: Wife and I stopped in during the middle of the afternoon for appetisers. Nice place with its red ceiling, green walls and wood tones, but the atmosphere could have been even better with some nice music playing instead of just tuned into a radio station.

For starters, egg drop soup was excellent. But even better was Alaskan sushi and Spicy Scallop sushi. When I ordered spring rolls, the waiter made it a point to explain that theirs were fried (like egg rolls), not the soft ones you get at Vietnamese restaurants. Got them anyway and appreciated the clarification from our server. They were ok, but we like Viet spring rolls better (especially the ones served a couple miles down the road at N*obi).

MY REVIEW: Great food for the cost. Everything I've ordered off their menu has been good. Despite a good menu, their sushi is what has me going back. I love the tempura crab roll.

I've not found a better Chinese restaurant in the whole area (Friendswood or Clear Lake) that doesn't cost an arm and a leg more for the same quality of food.

MY REVIEW: Clean, friendly staff, great service. Traditional and americanized (for the kids) Chinese. Daughter and I love it, wife and son prefer L*una's (also excellent). It opening has created a family rift.

MY REVIEW: Food was well prepared even at closing. We went in one night at 10pm due to it being the only place open on a Sat. night after 9pm in Friendswood. I was pleasantly surprised. I had the steamed shrimp, scallops and asparagus and it was perfect. I had it with brown rice and garlic sauce. My husband had the fried rice and it was well, fried rice (How bad can that ever be). It looked very clean and the decor was nice. Employees were nice even though they were closing up while we were eating.

MY REVIEW: We love it! Finally a great Oriental/sushi restaurant in Friendswood that does come with a buffet and is a very classy sit down place to eat. We eat there or order take-out at least once a week. Try it!

MY REVIEW: I love this place. I have to admit though I ordered the crunchy shrimp roll the first time I went and I loved it so much that I have ordered it every time I've been back. My husband has been more adventurous and has loved everything he has ordered. I love the atmosphere as well. The lighting is very interesting and every visit has been nice and relaxing!! Has become our fave!!!

MY REVIEW: Very nice restaurant. The food was good, but not quite as tasty as Pho Y*en just down the street. We ordered the House Special Lo Mein and the Sizzling Skillet of shrimp and vegetables. They use linguini noodles for the lo mein. I usually prefer angel hair size noodles, but this was very good. The shrimp tasted fresh and the vegetables were crisp. But the brown sauce was a little bland.

I will definitely visit this place again in order to try some of their other dishes. The service was good as well.
