Zhang Bistro

Tucked in quite corner of New Orleans is this gem of Asian cusiene. We enjoyed some amazing Thai curries and Jasmine rice. They have good variety of starters and side dishes. We loved the veg dumplings. The chilly oil was the best I have had ever. To top all this was the mango sticky rice. Delicious..

Very good service in a nice and lively restaurant. The vibe is great, and the drinks are very good. The items I tried were fresh and delicious. The fried pot stickers had a nice filling and good sauce. Shrimp soup was excellent! Tried the crawfish fried rice, different and very tasty.

We celebrated an early father's day at Zhang Bistro. Everything that we ordered was delicious. Our drink was pineapple mojioto 🍹🤤🤤. Pad thai was delightful, but my favorite was the general tso beef option. Meat was tender fried to a perfect consistency, and sauce was authentic, which made top notch. We also tried ragoons, wonton, and egg drop soups. I can't wait to try this place again. 💝

I will never be able to eat any other asian food and enjoy it again. I cannot articulate how good this place is. The potstickers and fried cheese wonton (with their sauces) are the best we've ever had. The pepper steak was out of this world. Poured onto a sizzling platter at tables ideal. I could barely take a photo. It had the lens all fogged up. The best! The sweet and sour chicken actually had peppers and pineapple with it. You hardly see that anymore. Perfect amount of breading. So nice for a change. Do not hesitate to get the egg fried rice with onions. Delightful! Our server (cannot remember her name! Sorry!) was very knowledgeable and just awesome! This is a gem and has ruined us going forward. All future asian food will be held to these standards. Oh and the egg pork egg rolls were also excellent. What a find! Never knew basil lemonade was so tasty!

Great environment great employees very clean and a must go too if your visiting I enjoyed the drunken noodles I suggested getting mild and no corn a very great spot to eat quality food this is my second time in just want to say that "Ciprian" the server is very professional and cares about but his customers i had a great date this night

This was one of the top places I went to during my entire visit, and it was a complete accident we literally stumbled in! The restaurant itself was absolutely beautiful the service was really friendly and fast but the food was definitely the star of the show!!! Everything was so flavorful and cooked perfectly!

This was our first time going there, but not our last. The food is very well seasoned without burning your face off! The Peking duck sampler was excellent! The servings horses are generous and very good for the price. Amazing variety that we look forward to trying many more of in the near future.

The dining experience was truly outstanding, highlighting exceptional service. The food arrived promptly, perfectly hot and incredibly flavorful. This particular establishment offers a delightful culinary experience, making it a great choice. The dishes present a variety of Asian-inspired flavors that are sure to please. It's certainly a place worth visiting if you appreciate quality and delicious food.

Happened to stop in here today and was blown away by the quality of the food! Loved every bite and the kitchen staff accommodated my wife's special diet. The bartender was AWESOME and reminded us of the actor in Deadpool (bartender in Deadpool)! I can't wait to go back and try more of their dishes. Ambiance was very cool and extremely clean. Glad we found this hidden gem in the quarter!

Love this place. Great atmosphere, service, prices, and food! I always get the Szechwan Hot Wok. So good. Only thing I can suggest for improvement is that they don't give you enough rice. I always have to order more, so that adds $3 to the cost of the entree.

I would give it 5 stars cause the food And service was great, but this tiny cheesecake for $8 was not it. The box was so light I had to open to make sure there was something inside L O L.

While visiting NOLA this past week, we ended up eating here twice. It was really good. I had the honey walnut shrimp the first time then the coconut soup the second time. My only complaint was the coconut soup was a little too watery for me. Otherwise, it was good.

Nestled at the far end of the French Quarter, just a block or two from Marigny and away from the hustle and bustle, this hidden gem serves some of the most exquisite dishes. With its inviting ambiance, white tablecloth style service,I believe the meals here are worthy of Michelin recognition. This is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to indulge their palate and enjoy a remarkable dining experience!

Literally a 5 minute walk from Frenchmen street and was so happy I stumbled upon this pace. They have an entire vegetarian/vegan menu for my girlfriend which was a relief. Service was quick on a Sunday evening and only less than half filled the room. Their sweet and sour and tofu soup were SO good. I wished they added the skin for the Peking duck sampler but the bao was still good. Their house fried rice had a charred taste to it and it was delicious. They don't skimp out on portions and their foods are flavorful too. I'd definitely come back again!

We got takeout from this restaurant on a weekday because Uber Eats had a special, buy one get one free! My husband and I decided to try it and we are glad that we did. Everything was piping hot and fresh when it got to our home, and lots of food in each plate! The only thing was that the beef tasted like chicken lol so we were thinking maybe they didn't complete the order correctly. But we ate it anyway. We were very impressed with the quality of the food and the flavors. We will be back to dine at the restaurant soon. We definitely feel like we got our money worth! It was a great deal!

Great experience. We were looking for a chill place that welcomed the kids ones evening. This was the perfect place for that. It's a pretty, chill restaurant with good service and great drinks. We felt welcomed and not rushed. I wish we had gone back for dinner but maybe next time!

Fabulous food, environment & waiter zerkula ciprian. We got pad thai & vegetable fried rice.

New Orleans is a very friendly city You feel relaxed and Zhang Bustro was a perfect example. We were served like regulars and felt very welcome. A place to relax and have really good food in the heart of NOLA. Interesting menu had a lot of varied selections. Everything was delicious down to the creamy Blue Ribbon Mayo! Local comfort.

I went on a Sunday afternoon by myself and was surprised to be the only one there when I walked in. I decided to sit at the bar and was served promptly. The atmosphere was and comfortable. I ordered the Hot and Sour soup which was very nicely spicy and the pork dumplings which were also delicious. The sauce with the dumplings was a little sweet for my taste, but it was still good. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes. More people started showing up while I ate so I guess I got there at the sweet spot in time.

First time to New Orleans, and looking for some good vegetarian options. It's kind of hard when you're on the south, especially in New Orleans when shrimp and grits, meat, and lots of fat are used. This bistro did not disappoint. The general T'so tofu option was amazing, and the dumplings were vegetarian. The server was also spectacular and made us feel at home. The inside seating area was beautiful and the ambience seemed very upscale but casual at the same time. We will return to this restaurant in the future, when in the New Orleans area.

Today we went to Zhangs. It was cute. I am going to start out and say my review is perhaps a little unfair. I rarely am, but today I ordered the only meal that was just okay. The shrimp shumai had a sauce that I could drink. The red cripsy chicken was really good, but you have to love hot. The shrimp fried rice was just excellent. I, however, did not order these dishes. I ordered the pad Thai. It wasn't bad. The shrimp was so fresh, and well cooked, but the sauce was a little off for me. I think the waiter tried to direct me differently, but I didn't read between the lines. It wasn't horrible, but it did let me down. I may return and order differently.

I have already reviewed Zhang Bistro, but I just wanted to give them an extra shout-out for doing vegan general Tso! It's super rare to find, and so delicious the way they bread the tofu just as they would the chicken cubes. We love to see more veggie options beyond curry and noodles. This was my last meal of 2023, and I can say the year went out with a bang.

We came on a Tuesday evening, there were a few other tables seated but the place was mostly empty. We were seated quickly and our waiter was very pleasant. Lost a star for me because the table we sat at was wobbly and waiter was slow to take our order. We started with the old fashioned and spicy margarita to drink. Spicy margarita was absolutely delicious, not too spicy, but had a little kick. Old fashioned was also one of the better ones we have had in the city, not too sweet, could still taste the bourbon! For an appetizer we got the steamed pork dumplings. They were delicious. The sauce they came with wasn't just plain soy sauce, it was sweet and went well with the fresh dumplings. For our entrees, we got the pad Thai and sweet and sour chicken with a side of vegetable rolls. The veggie rolls were the best I've ever had, full of flavor and you could tell they were fresh. Overall it was a pleasant experience. Prices were good for the amount of food you got and server was very pleasant. Dress would be business casual in my opinion don't come in athleasure or anything like that.

Food was disappointing. The wonton soup was just broth it did not have any wontons. The chicken fresh rolls had a sliver of chicken and the rest was shredded iceberg lettuce. The pad Thai chicken had seven little pieces of chicken and the rest was bland noodles. The quality of the food does not match the prices.

Had it delivered by Uber eats. Exceptional care in quality of the ingredients, preparation and generous portions. They take their food seriously and it shows in bold flavor profiles and attention to detail. When the mood strikes you for Asian food this place means business.

Their take on spring rolls does not include rice noodles or pork or shrimp or extra veggies. I thought all the shredded lettuce and fried chicken was a little offputting, but the flavors still pulled together. Not sure if I would order spring rolls again. The inside of the restaurant is very beautiful. The service was excellent . I sat at the bar.

In an ostentatious corner space where you wouldn't expect to find Chinese in New Orleans, this place offers (to my suspicion) both Chinese and Thai cuisine, including some considerable vegan options. I figured I'd go for the classic Chinese dish, and they delivered a quality ma po tofu, with a complex flavor hitting bitter, astringent notes to contrast the savory base of the sauce, with a bit of numbing action from proper Sichuan pepper. I made sure to scoop out as much of the sauce as possible. Some chili oil we got off the next table added an amount of heat that wasn't intolerable, but was flavorful. I'm not sure every dish they make is as good based on feedback I got from across the table. Still, I'm glad to see the diversification of the local culinary scene. It is a nice place to eat, despite the building probably being older than the state of Louisiana.

Dinner was very tasty we had the Roti, Thai basil chicken and the pepper steak which was served on a sizzling plate and our waiter, Arthur was excellent!

Me and my family went on a rainy Sunday. The atmosphere and service was great but the food was amazing I had the crawfish ramen and it was the best ramen I've ever had. This is a new must go every time I visit the city.

The food was ok. Wouldn't go back. The drinks were watered down! Didn't taste any alcohol in my drink. I had the lychee blossom and the lady was nice to re make me another. I then ordered the cucumber basil drink. That was tasty but again didn't taste the vodka. My partner had a pineapple margarita and it tasted like pineapple juice w/ice water w/tahini around it. The service was cool, however he was overly talkative with the ladies behind us for a minute (I believe he knew them) before he spoke w/us on what we needed. At that point we were ready and put our entire our in! Including drinks. He was sweet though overall and was just ready to get home to his fur pup. The place is actually nice though. And seems very clean to say it's in that area where homeless ppl are all over soon as you pull up. They weren't begging or anything, so no worries there. :) I honestly should've given them our food because we're probably not going to eat it. We also ordered S&S chicken w/fried rice. The rice was actually pretty good.

We had great service from Ashley. From the get go she was outgoing and brought us water without us asking. The food was Amazing!!! Both the wife and I agreed This will have to be a food stop every time we fly in to New Orleans. We ordered the general tsaos and pad Thai.... We ended up sharing our plates because they were both delicious!

The food is amazing! I lived in California where there are some amazing Chinese spot and this rivals the best of them!!! Great flavor, the perfect amount of spicy and fresh garlic! The perfect amount of food was served! Can't rave about this place enough! Definitely ordering from them again. My order was MaPo Tofu and Hunan Style Chicken/Veggies *chefs kiss*

Food came out quick and was delicious! The Pad Thai was the best I've ever had. Lily was the best for checking in on us and making sure our experience was great ! I will definitely be coming back.

Location is central, ambiance is beautiful, and for a Friday night dinner, it wasn't super busy. My friend and I were seated right away and our waitstaff was super kind. We looked at Yelp and saw the amazing reviews so made our decision that way. We ordered crab rangoon to start. They were good. Then I ordered walnut shrimp, which came with steamed white rice and broccoli. The portion was huge! My friend ordered the chicken coconut soup. Unfortunately, we were disappointed in our entrees! They were bland. My meal tasted like shrimp with mayonnaise and walnuts. It lacked salt and acidity. The soup had chicken that was inedible. We let our waiter know. We left feeling a bit disappointed. We did not feel the restaurant was worth 4.5 stars. We agreed on a solid 3 stars.

Good food and in good . Good service and very accommodating. Fast service. Gods ambience.

My favorite Thai restaurant in the city of New Orleans. Ashley and Lily are the best. Always service with a smile very good. Happy hour drinks and food. I always go for the spicy Thai fried rice with shrimp. They're hot wok is a delicious experience. Their chicken wings are some of the best I've ever had.

Ask for the vegan menu! Gluten free? Zhang Bistro has you covered too. Well, I love this place. How much, you ask? Enough to overlook the fact that their vegan Szechuan hot wok was without the traditional mala spices. That's a lot to overlook when your hopes are what they are but it's cool. This particular dish is otherwise delicious even if their idea of super hot is not my idea of super hot so next time I'll need to ask for hot chilis. It's quite tasty and full of vegetables and tofu. I added a side of steamed broccoli to even things out. Started with fresh rolls. Many of us recall that in the olden days, this was the spot that housed Angeli for decades. Angeli was never that great as far as food goes, but I have so many great late night memories attached to this place (oh yes, it was open 24 hours once). It's a thriving corner in the Quarter and the people watching is on point. You can't ignore the allure of that. The vegan menu has quite a lot for us! Curries, stir fry, soups and apps. Thai and Chinese delicacies. They have cocktails and a fair choice of wines by the glass (three sparkling!) I'll be here quite often. I also loved our server. He kept coming over to give us the story of what was happening outside on the corner. IYKYK.

Tasty tasty food. They were quick and the place was very nice to enjoy your meal, we will be coming back

If your in the French quarters and want good food at a good price this is the spot for you. I came across this on Facebook because they have a vegan menu but you have to ask for it. It's a good amount of vegan options which I like. I got the vegan green curry which was okay not really much of a curry taste more like good coconut soup flavor and it comes with white rice 5/10. My auntie got the pepper steak that came Sizzlin to the table which for some reason very entertaining lol with a side of fried rice and fried dumplings she loved everything 10/10 for her. The restaurant ambiance was great with dim lights and string lights a few tv great amount of tables and clean. The server was nice. I would come back to try the mapo tofu and my auntie wants to try other's dishes as well. No pictures this time!

I pass by here all the time in the quarter, but never thought to dine in. I swear they have air fresheners that diffuse the smell of Chinese food because you really can't miss it. It is incredible. I was very surprised at how good this place was. The location is right in between Downtown and Frenchmen so you're bound to pass by it. Our server was amazing. I caught the chef come out to the front of the house to check on people making sure they were enjoying their food which I thought was super sweet. Seems like the locals come here a lot, not so much a tourist trap. Very reasonable prices for downtown. I got the sesame tofu. It came with so much flavor and lots of protein. No skimping there. I'm surprised at how fast our food came out during Mardi Gras adventure time. The food was sooo good I was blown away. My expectations were low. This place was PACKED. Definitely a must try if you're in the area tired of eating po-boys and gumbo. The crab Rangoons were ok. More cheese, less crab. Great service, clean bathrooms, fast food.

Ooooh! This place is nice! A perfect Aperol Spritz, killer wonton soup and some great egg rolls...with sweet NoLa vibes. Highly recommended.

Definitive Statement! They may have perhaps the greatest hot and sour soup. Ever! Such well balanced flavors! It's actually, well sweet and sour! I also had the shrimp shumai, which is the perfect late night snack and accompaniment to the soup! Def stop in if you need a break from the read New Orleans food! It's that good! Service was fantastic too! Thanks!

Absolutely delicious food! We had a large variety of items, loved the fried rice and the roti. Service was also great.

Very high quality ingredients. The food was all great. This was a great find amid the chaos of Mardi Gras. The bartenders were both superb.

This place must have been having an off day when we were in... all of the glassware was dirty and so were our napkins. The carafe for water was also very cloudy and dirty which turned us off from the start. Our server wasn't super attentive and left to go wander outside multiple times during service. The food was also just ok. We had high hopes due to other reviews but were sadly let down.

I was very surprised by this place!! It was small but very cute and our waiter was very sweet and answered all of our questions. For the appetizer we got Spicy Cucumber Salad (my friend said it was 5/5) and I got the Shrimp Shumai which was 3.5/5. I loved my main dish, Spicy Szechuan Hot Wok and would definitely get it again! It wasn't that spicy and you can ask for extra chili sauce on the side. I got a spicy margarita drink which was a 5/5 as well. Overall I loved the place and ambiance. I will be back

The food and the service was excellent ! Spicy Cucumber salad and Red curry Shrimp very delicious.

We stopped in for dinner before hitting up a music event. We had no real plans in terms of where we were going to stop but as we were walking by the place looked nice and we were intrigued by their drink specials on the board. We sat at the bar and our bartender was very nice. He politely explained the drinks we weren't familiar with. I was torn between my two favorites- red curry and kung pao and he also talked me through how they make theirs so I could make a decision. I went with kung pao and they had a really pretty presentation. I was also happy with the amount of chicken, peanuts and zucchini. Only slight downside was the amount of rice it comes with. I don't usually eat the rice but the dish is big enough to share or have leftovers but if you like rice you'd need a second serving. All-in-all would totally go back to try more items from their menu!

We went to this restaurant when we received a recommendation from a friend. We went on a weekday evening and we were seated immediately. We looked over the menu and decided to order a cross section of items so we could try different foods. We started with the cucumber salad, the coconut shrimp and the steamed dumplings. The cucumber salad was flavor-free. The coconut shrimp appetizer was delicious and the steamed dumplings were just okay. For entree's, we ordered the red chili chicken and the beef lo mien. The red chili chicken was THE MOST SPICY DISH I HAVE EVER TASTED IN MY LIFE. I love spice, but this was ridiculous. I took 1 bite and could not go any further. My husband tried to get past 2 bites, but could not. We called the waiter over to inquire if it was supposed to be THAT hot and he shrugged and said, "it is spicy." I told him we were not going to be able to eat it and he just looked at me. He did not offer to replace it with anything else. We did not eat another bite of it and i assumed he would take it off the ticket. He did not. We shared the beef lo mien entree and left.

Ok service, overpriced, not authentic Chinese food...more Americanized Chinese food. Wait was long, unless you made reservations ahead of time.

Great food and service. A nice range of small and larger dishes! We especially enjoyed the soups - sweet & sour and wonton.

Welcome to New Orleans Zhang Bistro. In a city full of spectacular Asian food, this place on their soft opening is special. They offer a combination of traditional Thai AND Chinese dishes. The ingredients are so fresh, and the liberal use of Thai basil is warmly welcomed. I like my food generally very spicy. They offer three options and today I went medium just to set a baseline. It was really balanced, just enough heat, but not enough to make you sweat. All the spices were to enhance the ingredients, not overpower them. We had several dishes and would happily order any of them again. Of everything we ordered the chicken coconut soup was probably my favorite. Sweet, savory, crisp.... Perfect hot day bowl of soup, and it was 89 today. So glad this joint opened, it replaced some spectacularly bad restaurants that have inhabited the space over the years.

First off, I'm really happy to have another Chinese restaurant in the French Quarter. And, based on what I witnessed this weekend, Zhang is off to a very busy and successful start. I'm glad! This review is based off my experience with take out. I haven't eaten at the restaurant, although the design and decor of the physical space are really appealing. They did a good job revamping the space, which used to be grungy. During a busy weekend dinner, the restaurant was very busy. There were a LOT of families and kids, which is not something I'm looking for in a dining experience. My takeout order was also 15 minutes late, which is not a huge deal--especially for a new business. They're still working out the kinks. Onto the food. None of the food was bad. My main gripe is that the items I ordered did not match their descriptions on the menu. I ordered vegetable fried rice. However, it didn't come with any vegetables. It did come with tofu, which I did not order. I will say that their tofu is outstanding--much, much better than the tofu I've had at other local Chinese or Thai restaurants. So I wasn't mad about that, but I really missed the vegetables. When ordering (and paying for) vegetables in a dish like fried rice, that means things like broccoli, baby corn, etc. This dish didn't have anything like that. Only tofu. So, while it was basically tasty, that's not something I would have ordered had the description been accurate. I also got medium heat (out of three heat options), and it was not spicy. So, if you're really into heat, I would go with "hot." I also got the egg drop soup, which was delicious--easily the best item I ordered. However, the menu says it has peas, carrots, and mushroom. It didn't have any of these things. It's important that menu items are accurate and that the kitchen is in communication with front of house on this sort of thing. This might all fall under the "working out the kinks" umbrella. I also tried the "spicy" cucumber salad, though it was not spicy at all. It was more of a sweet, soy-based sauce. It was fine. The veggie egg rolls were standard, in the Thai style. For a to go order, the presentation was nice. The egg rolls had a slice of lemon and an attractive sprig of mint. I appreciated the presentation. I imagine the presentation in the restaurant must be very nice. I'll definitely be back in a few weeks to try other dishes and see how things have progressed. Overall, a very welcome addition to the French Quarter.

Food was delicious. Everything was very fresh. The portions of chicken in each dish were generous. This is a great spot.

When I'm hanging out in the Quarter and looking for a place to eat, Asian cuisine has never crossed my mind. Imagine my surprise when my friend told me that there was an Asian fusion (Chinese and Thai) restaurant in the area that we should try. The space is cute with a full bar and plenty of seating. I can definitely see this being a good spot to grab lunch or drinks during the day. We popped in for a late dinner and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. It was easy to get a table and our server was attentive and helpful as he guided us through the menu and offered suggestions since it was our first time in. We got the spicy cucumber salad, fried cream cheese wontons, and egg drop soup to start. The wontons were my favorite of the three. The cucumbers were good, I just wish they had been cut a little thinner or had marinated in the sauce and spices a little longer so they could really soak up that flavor. The soup was also very tasty, but just a touch salty for my palate, but I would try it again on a different day to see if was just that batch. For our entrees we went with the General Tso chicken and the combo kong pao chicken and shrimp. Both were flavorful and not as heavy as you might expect Chinese food to be which I rather enjoyed. The lychee blossom cocktail was super yum too! I will definitely be back to try some of their Thai dishes.

Food was so good. We had the Dry Red Chili Chicken, Roti, Mongolian Beef, Spicy Thai Fried Rice

I've walked past this place so many times thinking how refreshing it would be to try out. But you know, life gets on and time escapes you. Today, though, I decided I wasn't going to wait for a date, I was going t get my eat on. And I did. Mostly small plates today, even though they have entrees, too. I'm glad I came out. I had a cucumber salad and coconut soup with chicken. My dessert...yes, I know...dessert! My dessert was mango with sweet sticky rice. It had this creamy salty sauce ...so much yum. And, I got a lychee punch. Cool, sweet and refreshing. I'll be back by myself. I'll be back with dates. Right by the dive bars on lower Decatur. Come on down.
