Menu
We wanted to like this place. We really did.
Pictures looked great. Walking in, everything was nicely decorated. Greeted quickly. Seated quickly. Service was fast but food was not as authentic as other reviews had mention.
Kids meal was bland boiled chicken with noodle soup. Basically broth and a spaghetti noodles. Thought it was strange to have spaghetti noodles in an “asian” restaurant.
Was expecting for either egg noodles or pho noodle type.
I ordered the spicy noodle soup. Looked great but when I went to eat my soup. Again, was disappointed it was spaghetti noodles in an asian dish. Flavor was good but noodle choice for soup could’ve been something different. It was basically seafood Tom yum with spaghetti noodles.
They also didn’t offer any Thai tea or Thai ice coffee. But all the servers spoke Thai. And they were playing Thai music. I was a bit confused and lost when the server told me they didn’t have any.
If you want authentic asian. Look elsewhere.
In our several visits to this neighborhood restaurant, food quality seems to be declining. Beef/broccoli dish was extremely salty with little broccoli. Fish in sushi roll was not very fresh. Server pushed buy-one get-one-free cocktails, but didn't explain that it was for each diner only. We were essentially tricked into buying four drinks instead of two. There are a lot of restaurants in this neighborhood. Asian Outpost needs to shape up-- or close.
Had another wonderful experience at Asian Outpost. I asked the waitress for something different and she did not disappoint. I got something comparable to Thai shrimp and chicken fried rice. It was loaded with veggies and topped with a fried egg! Honestly it’s my new favorite dish!
This place is bomb! Food was excellent. Drink were stroooong, but tasted so good! Waitress was very knowledgeable and so sweet! I’m definitely going back soon!
Overall, Asian Outpost has very authentic comfort food that is well prepared and is reasonably priced.
The food was good as was the service. The fried chicken was really good.
Beware the drink ratings, they are true. Bibimap not authentic, but tasty. Other offerings excellent.
This was my second time at Asian Outpost. Wow, wow, wow. The meals are delicious, portions are generous, prices are reasonable. Service is excellent. We will be back.
Very friendly staff and the food & drink were extremely good. Fast service and a very clean restaurant. Will definitely return when I’m in the area.
My first experience there was out of this world ... well, at least out of this continent. Asian Outpost has a wide variety of foods. Very attentive wait staff; our water glasses were never empty, and used dishes barely stayed on the table. Specialty drinks were flavorful and enjoyable. We will definitely be back!
This was an awesome experience looking forward to the next time!!!
The best fried chicken and Asian fried rice I have ever had!
Food was not good. We had the sampler appetizer platter, two entrees and a kids meal, nothing was good or even worth finishing. They had a big party coming in later and seemed very preoccupied with that, so much so that service was just ok.
The spicy garlic fries were hard, the creamy crab rangoon felt like it was warmed up in the microwave quickly. The service was good but I don’t think I would returning back to this restaurant for the food.
This was an awesome surprise. Great food, nice staff and quick service
My wife and went here for dinner. We were pleased with the flavor of the vegetarian sushi’s and the Thai main dishes. The service was good and the atmosphere was also pleasant. They have outdoor and indoor seating, so you can choose how you would want to dine here! We would definitely go back and are looking forward to our next visit!
Needed a quick dinner before a concert at Northerly Island and Asian Outpost was an easy walk! Nice sushi and yummy lettuce wraps! Great service and atmosphere!
Overall was good. Nothing Special or Memorable. Just Good.
Everything was good, nothing was great. Big menu. The sashimi portions are quite small. Service is hit and miss.
Great drink specials, very friendly service and the food is delicious.
Asian Outpost is my South Loop neighborhood favorite for a very good dinner. I've been working my way around the menu and have never been dissapointed.
Everything was perfect! Waitstaff was very accommodating as our party increased in size, and we arrived much later then originally planned. Their custom drinks were fantastic and the menu had something for everyone. It's a GREAT restaurant.
Excellent menu---great range of Asian choices
Food is tasteful---fresh and portions are good size
Service is prompt and friendly
Decor is special
Family owned, great food and updated menu with many vegan options. Our sushi was excellent and our meal tasty and served hot. Prompt service. Great place!
Went for a casual dinner - very good value
Rolls were well made and Poke Bowl was fresh and tasty....
Worth the try for sure.
Super fun potent tropical drinks. Delicious appetizers, and a wide variety of suishi!
Only complaint - veggie pot stickers had almost no veggies. $6 for half dozen deep fried noodles a rip-off
nice average asian with very friendly service; unfortunately nothing off-menu (more traditional special dishes)
The food is always good - we love the egg rolls and tried a new plate with tofu which was excellent. You can pretty much guarantee a excellent meal every single time. It was extremely cold out and it was definitely worth the trip for excellent food. The waiters are friendly, warm and on top of everything.
The service is always slow. The last two times I’ve been in there, the waiters have been slow to come to the table. And there weren’t a lot of customers in there.
This was my second visit and neither of us were voraciously hungry so we ordered two different appetizer assortments which duplicated some of the same items. Since it was a Friday in Lent we shared the meatless items and took the meat items home. Some of the items were Things wouldn’t have ordered on their own but EVERYTHING was excellent, that night and the next day. There was nothing I would want to exclude in the future, except I’m eager to try more of their offerings, including some very interesting mixed drink offerings.
Food was awesome! Super happy with all the amazing vegan options. The vegan spring rolls where crunchy on the outside and hot and soft on the inside and to go with it the dipping sauce paired perfectly. For my main course I got the spicy tofu vegan soup and that was phenomenal! The soup was fill with lots of veggies and huge noodles. The flavor was outstanding with enough kick to make my nose run by the time I finished. Overall dining experience 8.7/10
The people were great and some dishes were subtle while others were ordinary. I’m very excited to return and find the other hidden menu gems. Service and mood open and convivial. Comfort dining!
You can always count on a very warm welcoming staff, excellent food with a good variety of a menu. It is a venue that is on our list at a minimum once a month. Great food every time!
Love this place. Food is amazing. Service is great. Have been here twice and will def go again soon.
We enjoy the food and service every time - Natty is great.
I had the panang curry. It was so flavorful and delicious! They also had a 2 drinks for 1 special with the purchase of a dinner. It was a pleasant surprise!
I have ordered from here tons of times and it's always been great but when I took my friend to actually sit down in the restaurant for her birthday, the service wasn't too great. About halfway through our meal we were basically ignored and we had to ask twice to get our checks and they were incorrect. I'm not sure if that's a normal thing but it was embarrassing to have to wait for so long just to pay after I talked up the place so much.
Nice place
Service was great. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. The food and drinks were delicious.
