Terrible food and cold hospitality.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/30/06
This is a terrible choice for a restaurant. Great hardships endured to even book a reservation, food and environment do not reflect the popularity that Asia SF undeservingly boasts.
You'll pay around $100 a person for a variety of tasty, yet, children's sized appetizer portions. A strict time limit of 01:45:00 per party is nervously enforced and reiterated several times throughout the meal. Seating is very tight and uncomfortable. A large gratuity is added to parties of 6+. The "Ladies of Asia" are realistic looking, but the show is short, and I've seen enticing gender-benders on street corners.
The horrendous bill turned my rosy face into a pale witness of a ghost, and our party had to go eat a secondary meal afterwards because we were still hungry.
Never go to Asia SF. The staff displays no effort to satisfy customers because hype and fad seekers keep flocking into this joke of a restaurant.
Your guests will be broke and dissatisfied with leg cramps from the "back of a volkswagon" style seating arrangments.
