7/17/13 My friends recent bachelorette party started at a spa, followed by a limo ride to dinner at AsiaSF. Holy $#*! This place was amazing. Our reservation was for 7 and a dinner selection was pre-chosen that included lots of menu items. It requires a minimum party of 6 to feast the way we did, or I would have already returned to eat again. I cant say enough good things about the food. Everything was served in a shared manner but there was plenty enough for everyone to get a taste of it all. And a TON of food was brought out. There was nothing that we didnt enjoy. The special requests of one veggie/gluten-free girl were also catered to. A boutiquey place like this could totally get away with a crap meal because youre mostly there for the show. We were all surprised at the quality of food. And the drinks! They were great! We received a comp shot for our bachelorette party celebrations and some of us received an additional one for checking-in on Yelp. Heck yes! The show was hot. The ladies were smokin! And the male staff (like the guy bussing our table with the snakebite piercing)... they were all gorgeous too! How does it feel being really, really, ridiculously good looking? Everything about the night was special. They even personalized our menu so that we could keep it as a keepsake. We interacted with lots of staff and they were all very attentive and friendly. After dinner, we went downstairs and danced in the nightclub. Free admission with dinner. The vibe was awesome! I wish we had stayed longer than we did but the bachelorette celebrations continued elsewhere. Ive already started working on a group of 6 for a return. Cant wait to eat here again and oogle all the sexy dancers some more.

I came here recently for a bachelorette party, and had such a great time! The servers were super duper nice to us throughout our experience, and the ladies on stage were awesome! And I was surprised how good our meal was. We had the Platinum package, which included chicken satays, "Asia-dilla", blackened tuna sashimi, baby bok choy & shiitakes, grilled shrimp & herb salad, miso glazed salmon, orange lamb, baby back ribs, sesame soba noodles, mini ice cream cones, and banana beignets. The only dish I didnt like was the orange lamb. Lamb can get gamey, and the orange sauce didnt help. And I wish there was more salmon for our party of 11. They gave us two of them, when it really should have been 3-4. And when we got our desserts, they only gave us 6 ice cream cones, and one plate of the beignets. We asked for one more set of ice cream, and they gave us another 6, which was now too much. So if you dine here with a big group, expect good food, but not big portions. I also ordered the Pussycat, and unfortunately they dont have the drink menu online. It wasnt strong, but it was delicious. And when they came to the table, they announced the order... minus the "cat." It was very amusing to hear, and I raised my hand proudly to say I ordered it. I think going to AsiaSF is part of the San Francisco experience. I would go again for special occasions.

Came here for my birthday. Honestly, if youre a single man go downstairs to the bar and its literally a 90% female crowd that comes here - you could clean house. As for the dinner - the food is pretty darn good. Where AsiaSF falls a little flat is my expectation for the show might have been a little too high. I was hoping for a little more than the few performances they had - though I had a very good time. Perhaps the show was better in the past but I couldnt help but feeling on my birthday that the performance was - "phoning it in" on both the energy level and performance overall. The transgender staff and performers are wonderful and some are absolutely gorgeous. Its definitely an experience I would recommend, but I had to reserve just one star back from 4 because outside of a special event - I dont see myself returning again unless the performance aspect is kicked up a notch. Id much rather take myself to a nice steakhouse for the price next birthday. Kudos though AsiaSF - it is something everyone should experience once. A SF "must go"!

I made reservations approximately two months ago for an anniversary dinner and show for my wife. We were looking forward with excitement to our night. We arrived 45 minutes prior to our 9:15 seating and were shuffled to a bar downstairs. We assumed since we had checked in so early that we would have an actual place to sit, we were wrong. They added two stools to an already overcrowded bar, there was room for possibly one adult but not two. We asked for something else and they showed us a table. My wife had to sit with her back to the stage so she turned her stool and was told by the hostess that she had to sit even further to the bad angle to accommodate another four people. We complained and the response was a quick sorry. While waiting for our ride several other people left grumbling. Not a good experience.

For just over $50 per person it might seem expensive, but this isnt just dinner - its an incredible show! I went with a friend of mine in January 2014 on a whim and Im so glad I did. The place was vibrant, the show was funny and the girls were beautiful. Ohhh.... just be warned that they were not always girls. All the performers are stunning Asian transvestites but as long as youre comfortable with your sexuality that shouldnt wont bother you at all. Looking around its interesting to see that 80% of the people that come are girls - and lots of bachelorette parties. The food itself: really grea, you 3 courses from several options and all are great - cant really go wrong. After dinner you can go downstairs to dance till late. Venue is amazing and the music is amazing! :)

What a fun evening of great food and entertainment! Came here with 3 other friends. We didnt have reservations but were seated quickly. Not the best view of the stage, but what do you expect at 7 on a Saturday. Our waitress wasnt the hottest girl in there, but she was sweet as sugar! We all got the prix-fixe menu, selecting different items so we can share. Most of the items are small plate style things. Everything was really good! I think my favorites were the Miso Glazed Salmon and Tamarind Chicken Satays. The stage show was awesome! Lots of interesting moves up on stage! Id highly recommend this place for a unique and fun evening. Take the out of town guests! I guarantee youre parents havent been to a dinner like this. Ready to go back!!!!

So much fun!!!! For those that didnt know this is a restaurant with live male (dressed as female) performances. The ladies are beautiful and dressed to impress. They do a few shows through out the night where they dance on the bar performing their someone what scandals but fun performances. I had a great time, everyone is very friendly and just there to have a good time. The food was actually impressive, I wasnt sure what to expect there as its known for the performers, but the food was very good. The drink specials were very sugary and fruity, but they have a full bar so you can get something else too!
