I received a gift card from my parents to use at Crocker Park and I thought there was no better way to use that on treating my lady to dinner. We both looked at the various restaurant options available in Crocker but we both had a taste for sushi, so we picked Vieng's Asian Bistro. We went up there at dinner time on a Wednesday a couple of weeks ago. The décor was a nice and modern and we were seated a large circular booth, which I enjoyed in having the extra elbow room. We were greeted by our server, a heavy set guy who seemed like he was a bit out of breath. He took our drink orders and came back promptly, which led to our order.
We started with the pork pot stickers which came out in good time. There were about 8 served and they were about as average as could be. No better or no worse than any pot sticker I would get at a takeout Chinese restaurant. We then moved on to the real reason we came, SUSHI! We went with 2 of what they call big rolls and one regular roll. The 2 big rolls we received were the Rainbow Roll and the Spider Roll. I preferred the Spider Roll and the spicy mayo sauce that came on top as did my fiancé. The Rainbow Roll was just ok, I didn't care for the filling on this particular roll and wasn't impressed with the quality of rice that was used in making it. The final roll we had was the Philly and I wasn't impressed with the freshness of the fish in this one. Very disappointed on the sizes of these sushi rolls.
To be honest, I enjoyed the décor of the restaurant but that was about it. The server we had was by no means a bad server as our food came out timely and he refilled our drinks, he just wasn't very friendly or have much care into giving a recommendation. The real downfall of our meal was just flat out...the food. I was not very satisfied for spending $50 on 3 small sized sushi rolls and some frozen pot stickers; luckily I paid with the gift card and not my own money. I was actually still kind of hungry after we left. I can't imagine we would ever go back.
