Asian Tao Vietnamese Bistro is a small restaurant located just a few minutes walk from Ikebukuro JR Train Station in Tokyo. Asian Tao specialise in traditional Vietnamese food as well as some tasty Thai food. This restaurant is only small but a great option for some South-East Asian food in Tokyo. There is also a good selection of vegetarian food.

A small restaurant with a small dining area on the ground level and a large dining area located upstairs. Serving a range of traditional Vietnamese food like fresh Vietnamese spring rolls, grilled pork dishes and Vietnamese Pho noodle soup.  I sat on the ground floor at the bar area which gave me a great view of the staff preparing the food and drinks.

I went in for lunch and was blown away by the great Vietnamese food. The fresh spring rolls were as good as any I have had, including in Vietnam.

I also had some delicious Vietnamese grilled chicken salad which was packed full of fresh flavours.
