Easton Asian Bistro — Restaurant in Palmer Township

Came for lunch around noon on a Sunday, only ones seated at the time.

Overall, 3/5. A cute place with pretty decent service, good hot food, and mediocre sushi for the price.

Food: 3/5 Shrimp Dumplings were O.K. , but they tasted a bit fishy, like the shrimp used had gone slightly off, or they are using fish paste to try and stretch out the shrimp. The cabbage underneath the dumplings in the steamer was old, black and dried out along the edges. The dipping sauce was pretty good, but not the best I have had. Chicken Egg Roll was very good, crispy and not greasy at all. Lots of meat inside, actually maybe too much meat, a bit more cabbage in the filling would have lent some more moisture. The duck sauce is the typical chinese food pre-made sauce, not home made. Yellowtail Scallion Roll was pretty mediocre. The fish itself was of average quality, and was rolled pretty well. The real letdown here is that the rice they are using is not the right kind and is under-seasoned. They are using a longer grain rice, perhaps it is even the same rice that they are serving as sides to their hot food. This type of rice does not make for good sushi, it is dry and starchy. Not the best. Chicken & Broccoli was pretty good. We liked the sauce and the broccoli was perfectly cooked. Again though, the rice on the side was plain bad. Whatever kind of rice they are using is either poor quality or they are not cooking it correctly. Starchy and gummy. Singapore Mei Fun was very good. Generous portions of perfectly cooked shrimp, and we liked the seasoning on the beef. Good amount of vegetables as well. Good spice level. No complaints here, A+ Mei Fun.

Price: 2/5 The sushi is overpriced for the quality compared to other restaurants in the immediate area, plain and simple. The hot food prices are a bit higher than a typical chinese food joint, but I believe that the increase in quality is worth it in this case. The shrimp dumplings though, were overpriced for the quality. $6.75 for 6 dumplings, I expect the filling to taste clean and be composed almost entirely of shrimp.

Atmosphere: 4/5 Clean and simple decor, warm colors, and different seating options for your mood. The smaller space makes it feel more cozy and intimate. Nothing to knock your socks off, but it was nice.

Service: 4/5 Whats to say? The waitress was friendly and checked on us often (although we were also the only ones seated so I can not speak for the service when it is busy).

If we come back, it will be for the hot food, and probably for lunch. See attached photos for pictures...

On a recommendation from a shopper at Aldi, we dined here this first Thursday in June on our way home from NJ.

I’ve posted photos of 2023 menu which shows Sushi, Thai, Chinese cuisines.

I only enjoy Chinese a few times a year due to the soy sauces and high salt content, so ordered a Shrimp Thai Pan which was freshly prepared and real good. We ordered the General Tso chicken and although a standard taste, the difference in a good way, fresher and anchored with steamed broccoli and side of brown rice. I noticed the Pineapple Fried Rice entree and it was great, full of shrimp and the flavors were light and tropical for these hot summer days! The place is sandwiched between two businesses and next door to a Scheetz gas station, on route 248, south of Walmart.

The interior is long with five booth, chair and padded seating along wall plus the five chairs up front facing the kitchen.

Lexi our server, rocked the entire dining room, efficient and pleasant plus Maggie was kind with a champagne glass full of fried tuna wasabi dumplings as complimentary app.

Overall, the food was tasty without over sauced and all was prepared by a chef with experience in all these cuisines.

Delightful and...

Easton Asian Bistro are doing everything right; a spiffy ambiance, friendly and professional service and a menu filled with pan Asian favorites. I happily drive 30 minutes from West End of the Lehigh Valley to come here for their General Tsos chicken. Their hot n sour soup, chicken lo mein and Szechuan chicken are also well liked in our household.

Once I had a 25-30 person event catered by them. Had to order two days in advance. The order was ready on time, piping hot at pickup and several guests commented on how delicious everything was.

For those observing halal dietary restrictions, it is especially nice to know they offer the chicken dishes in halal for a nominal additional charge and prepare halal food separately. This service is unbeatable and I am so grateful for it.

Dessert: the bamba ice cream is strongly recommended! It’s ice cream in a chocolate shell with whipped cream on the side, a great way to complete your Asian dinner experience!

I recommend them for everything from quick lunch meal, to small family dinners to catering...
