Editorial Review for Shallots Asian Bistro – by Jill Lightner
The Scene
Elegant screens and delicate paintings combine with cozy seating and subdued, modern lighting to provide serious comfort--kids won't feel out of place, but romantic diners are right at home. The staff is welcoming and instructive, clearly knowledgeable and eager to share their suggestions.
The Food
Appetizers such as tangy flank steak, crunchy vegetarian rolls or luscious bacon-wrapped scallops are excellent. Entree choices roam Asia and include mild Cantonese noodles, a good choice for kids or the faint of heart, and surprising nine-flavor chicken, where each of the nine--hoisin, lemongrass, chili and coconut among them--simply sing. Savvy diners save room for custom-made ice creams: The toasted coconut is especially creamy and fragrant.

I love this place. The menu has a little bit of everything for someone who likes Asian food and I've never had anything on the menu that I didn't like. It's especially nice to sit outside for happy hour and try assorted appetizers. The service has always been great, even once when I had a demanding date who was high-maintenance for the waitress. Some of my favorite menu items are the happy hour potstickers, the Tom Yum soup, the '9 flavor chicken' and the Basil scallops, but all the entrees I have tried are nice. The various satays are also nice, but I wasn't so crazy about the salmon satay.
Pros: Service, ambience, outside dining area, happy hour, selection
Cons: none
