FM168 Asian Bistro

Closed — As in, not there anymore. Checked the website: the only listed location was in Lisle, IL.

Really disappointed, they closed!

Never have been disappointed every visit of a order for carry out or dining in. Excellent !!!

We just moved from the city and were worried about finding a new thai place. So glad we stumbled across this one! I like that they use quality ingredients (angus beef, antibiotic free chicken, etc) We got take out and it was great! We got the crab wontons, pad thai, and peapods and chicken. All were great. I noticed the prices were a bit high, but that is because the portions are huge, so my husband and I split a pad thai. Cheaper than the city! :)

My husband and I moved here from the city 2 years ago and have been searching for good pad see ew… and we found it here! We also tried the lobster Rangoon but would probably pass on it when we go back. The décor at the restaurant is really cute and clean. We will definitely go back!

Maybe I am unique, but my experiences here have always been good. Although the calamari leaves something to be desired and the lobster ragoons and egg rolls weren’t the greatest, the governor’s chicken and Singapore street noodles were some of the best I have ever had. In addition, the portions are enormous. As such, yes, the price is a bit higher, but it is easily worth it.

Disappointing. I was hoping this place had more traditional foods to try, but it’s just an overpriced chinese food takeout place. I got the orange peel and it was just ok. It was very little sauce, and what sauce they did have was VERY orange tasting, like they used orange juice from concentrate. I ended up eating it because I was hungry, and 2 plates of this stuff was 33 bucks!!! I’d rather go to chinese kitchen and get more food that tastes way better for less.

I visited this so called bistro and I was quite disappointed. The decorations are beautiful this is true but the food was totally not worth the money. We ate on plastic «frozen meal» type trays with sectionals and plastic silverware. Anyone who owns a restaurant should have knowledge in presentation. The foods taste was very comparable to Lucky China who is down the street but we paid double the amount and got less food, not that the food was that great. You can also go to Texas steak house and order the chicken (which is what we ordered here at FM168) and get a three course meal with water instead of soda for 26 dollars. We paid 40 dollars to eat fast food that was warm, dried out, and dull in flavor. We received a small styrofoam cup with warm water in it and were never asked if we wanted any more. Asian food in general is pretty salty and this was no exception. We were so thirsty and we shouldn’t have to ask for a refill. The ginger dressing was not at all ginger as advertised. The dressing tasted heavily of teriyaki and sesame and belonged on meat rather than greens. If you want good asian cuisine I’m afraid you will have to travel to Chicago where there are some of the best holes in the wall! Also please do not bring small babies or children here to eat in. There is not a high chair or any place to seat your children.

I enjoyed trying this new Asian restaurant. They have a pretty decently sized menu for being new. The selection was nice, the atmosphere was very fun and modern, and the only drawback I saw was not having actual dinnerware like metal forks and ceramic plates. Everything is served on plastic, in styrofoam, or with plastic utensils. It may just be part of the «bistro» styling that I’m missing. Overall, I was very impressed with the quality of food and how hot (note: tongue-​burning temperatures!) everything was. The veggies in the dishes were fresh and the seasoning was just right. Portions of the food that I received were enough to be split into dinner for tonight and lunch for tomorrow. And to top it off: the continuous loop of classic boy band songs from the 90s and early 00s!
