Donut Bistro — Restaurant in Reno

I'm finding the price of Chinese lunch specials going up all over to around $10.50 to $12.00 or more in some places. But here at The Donut Bistro in south Reno they're just $9.15! On top of that the food is actually really good, better than some of those more expensive places.

As usual the lunch comes with egg drop or hot and sour soup, 2 crab rangoons and fried rice. No egg roll but no big deal. The fried rice here is not just that cheap, brown "colored" fried rice with nothing else but rice that comes with most lunch "specials", but it's real fried rice with egg and veggies in it and it tastes like real fried rice.

The lunch comes with tons of choices of dishes, from sweet and sour anything, to veggies and meats to an unusual dish I don't see anywhere else on special, Spicy pork and Asian Eggplant. Tasty and just a little spicy.

Check out the lunch specials for just $9.15 and even get some...

"PHO-NUT," as we like to call it, is one of the best little eateries on Earth. The mix of pho and other common Asian dishes is excellent, quality is supurb, prices are very modest, and it's family owned and run; you'll see the same folks here most every day. They have the best spring rolls, and I eat them four at a time. Thai iced coffee? YES, please. Plus, they have donuts - crispy, sweet and delicious donuts, made fresh daily. Think of it: fresh spring rolls, Thai iced coffee, and a strawberry frosted donut with sprinkles. YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT.

My only reservation about reviewing my beloved Pho-nut is that all you Wankers will come here now, and ruin it. Seriously, come, be nice, and...

I’m going to start by saying that I never review places but this place is ridiculous. We called tonight at 5:50 to place an order for two adults and two kids (not a giant order). We were told it would be ready in 40 minutes. We showed up in 40 minutes and they said just a little longer. It literally took them an hour and forty minutes!!!!! So now I have two very hungry kids and it’s 7:30. And then when we did finally get the order it was all cold!!! If we hadn’t paid already we would have just cancelled the order or walked away. NEVER AGAIN will we order from here. NEVER. I wish I could give zero stars. I understand being short staffed but 1.75 hours for take...
