Opened in 1955, Jimmy Wong’s Golden Dragon Asian Bistro has became the premier Asian cuisine in San Diego. Continuing it’s long tradition of serving quality Asian Cuisine we have recently remodeled the interior for the 21st century and we’ve kept our historic golden dragon neon sign to guide all who seek us. We offer a classic Thai , Asian fusion inspired menu along with draft beers, wine, sake, and desserts. Perhaps most importantly, we’re open late seven days a week and even later on weekends. If you’re looking for something more interesting than the usual fare late at night, look no further.
Comfy, modern restaurant offers a Thai-heavy menu of Pan-Asian eats, plus happy-hour deals.

My friend invited me to the reopening in Lunar New Year experience and while we had to wait 2 hours for seating due to the performance and already being booked solid, it was definitely worth the wait! The hot and sour soup was spot-on, the garlic and mom made was divine and the best mango sticky rice ever! I wanted the strawberry lychee martini wish they were out of but an alternative was a plum wine with carbonation which was so so good and I got a nice pour. I can eat this whole combo again very soon and can’t wait to go back!

I have been ordering DoorDash from Asian Bistro for years and good reason… their food quality is ALWAYS consistent and has the best flavor. So good that I’ll be at a bar 1:30am and order before I leave so it’s waiting for me when I get home
I highly recommend the Mother Chili wings pictured here. 10/10 always along with the BBQ chicken which is my other fav

After our trip to the San Diego Zoo with the boys, it was time for dinner! I tried the crab fried rice, which was good (I couldn’t even finish it, haha!). My husband enjoyed his drunken noodles with a nice kick of spice, just the way he likes it. There’s so much to try here, and I’m glad we gave it a shot. The place is busy, in a great location, and the server was really nice. Definitely worth it!

Asian bistro is an amazing restaurant. First trip down there I was greeted warmly by staff and enjoyed a beautifully decorated interior. I had fragrant Vietnamese coffee and a delicious banh mi sandwich. I saw a wonderful flyer for Lunar New Year Celebration.
The following week I went to the fantastic Lunar New Year Celebration. They were very busy with a packed house. Service was excellent, food was delicious and ambience was great. Love this place and would come again.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for so long! But honestly it fell pretty short for me.. It feels like once places get hype or a lot of social media acknowledgment, they don’t try as hard anymore..
We parked down the street and had to pay so keep that in mind when going to Hillcrest.
There was a lot of beautiful art on the wall and rainbow decorations because of the restaurant being in Hillcrest.
We walked in and waiting about 3 minutes for someone to come out from the back and seat us. I was concerned so I called the place to tell them we were waiting to be seated like their sign said but then the server came out and seated us.
We started with a Thai Ice Tea and an Emerald Ice Tea. We ordered them with coconut milk and I think the coconut made the teas taste with little watered down. They were both pretty decent though.
We ordered a Seaweed Salad, the Butterflied Garlic Shimp Skewers, the E-Sarn Sausage, the Krah Pow and the Roasted Duck Noodle. The Seaweed Salad had a lot of citrus in it but it was okay and still refreshing. The Garlic Shrimp Skewers were grilled nicely and had a really nice fish sauce that came with it. Honestly I was using the sauce for everything because it was pretty good. The E-Sarn Sausage was pretty good also, it was served with sticky rice in foil that was hard to eat with chopsticks or a fork. The sausage was pretty good too, but it was honestly the only thing I ate..
The Krah Pow taste like it was made with sugar and soy sauce and that’s it.. it tasted really cheap and not worth the $16.. it had too much suger honestly which gave the impression that they were trying to make up for a lack of something.. I took one bite and didn’t eat anymore. The Roasted Duck Noodle was super bland.. I have had Duck noodles before and I know it is a subtle taste but there’s still flavor. This one was so bland.. I was pretty upset because of the $18 price tag on it. I was waiting for the server to ask for salt or soy sauce but after five minutes of no one coming out from the kitchen I just got up and grabbed a soy sauce from the table with condiments. The soy sauce didn’t help.. the noodles were good quality and the Duck was very tender but it also lacked flavor.
I ended up just eating the Seaweed Salad, two shrimp skewers and the sausage with the sauce from the shrimp skewers. It was pretty disappointing..
Overall, Asian Bistro was a let down, flavors lacked, service lacked and prices weren’t justified. I would skip it and try somewhere else.. It truly broke my heart to waste my money like this..

We got Thai fried rice for to go. I ordered on the phone and the staff were great. The rice itself was not as tasty as we expected.

Had Christmas dinner with the family and we had stumbled here as backup because Dumplings and more had a waiting time for over an hour. The service was fast and great and the green curry was delicious and by far my favorite I ordered the level 5 spice and it met expectations to my taste bud. Will definitely come back and try out their other dishes but mainly the other curry’s

This place is eh the appetizers were a NO for me the salad was drenched in sauce that tasted salty and same with the sausage also salty. The entrees were okay but I feel like another Thai place could do it much better.
The place is cute and the service was nice.
