BARDO is defined as the time of existence after death and before rebirth as life occurs in stages.
Looking at the symbols, notice the small circle that represents a seedling or birth. As the seedling grows; it stands tall, symbolizing life. The growth rests horizontal, indicating death. The martini glass (your spirit) represents your present existence - awaiting rebirth.
Come enjoy your life at BARDO, and leave with a sense of rebirth.
We serve lunch Mon - Fri beginning at 11 AM and are open for dinner 7 days a week from 5 PM to 2 AM.

This is a very unusual restaurant with a very unusual menu. It's a wee bit whimsical (a $1 chicken option is actually an egg), a wee bit mystical with Asian tints, and a whole lotta tasty! Be adventurous an choose several of the small plate specials. Pass them around the table. Yes, bring your friends -- this is a good spot for group dining where everyone tries everything. But it also has an ambiance that lends itself to a romantic dining experience for 2. I love this place. It's almost enough to make me want to return to Norfolk (well -- let's not get TOO carried away!).

Bardo has been around a while but I heard they had a new chef so we headed there from VB. Wow was it worth the drive. Our service was good, she was friendly but not overly knowledgeable, but the food was just amazing. My wife and I had the thai flavored edamame, caesar salad, shrimp bottle rockets, filet, grilled bison, and a few others. It was truly outstanding. We won’t wait so long before our return visit.

This place is NOT worth for the momey. It's really bad taste of interior - there are no respect of Buddhism and no deep thoughts of Asian culture at all."IF" foods were good,maybe I might re-consider to try again,but there's nothing I found remark or even just something I found "New".It's pretty bad copy of many places has been already offerd decades ago.

Very creative and interesting menu of small plates and tapas--all extremely good. Service was excellent. Low-lit, cosmopolitan atmosphere.......trendy people....not stuffy though. Very busy and bustling in the Ghent district of Norfolk. Parking is easy behind the restaurant and is free. I would have given this a higher rating if it weren't so smokey in there (smoke-free would be ideal).

I took my girlfriend to bardo after a play had let out at the Generic Theater. The service there is warm and friendly, and the food is even better. We both had eggdrop soup and brie stuffed pork tenderloin. All I can say was: amazing! The wine list was awesome, so many good selections. I would highly recommend this place.
