by Joy B. on Laughing is one of my favorite things to do. If it's yours too, come to a comedy club in hopes of doing a lot of it. If you have din-dins before the scheduled show, you get to choose where you want to sit & you don't have to hit the 2 drink minimum during the show. I had the special, honey shrimp pasta. It was pretty decent for comedy club food but pricey for comedy club food. The grey-haired gentleman who brought the food out was very sweet. Came here for Richard Villa's "refried Fridays". Some acts were painfully unfunny, others were 50/50. For the most part only 2 of the guys gave me good belly laughs. One of the comics was filming his comedy reel so the host hired us for the unpaid job of clapping loud, laughing hard, etc. in order to enhance the quality of the reel. I'm all for helping people succeed and the guy was truly funny, but they kind of went overboard with the crowds generosity in participating. But whatevs. Something interesting happened during the show. We witnessed this guy surprise his girlfriend with a proposal on stage. Apparently he had it planned out with the comic months prior, and we saw the whole mushy romantical thing go down. She said yes. They ended up whispering sweet nothings in each others ear and giggling like school girls and gazing at her ring and all other kinds of sweetie weetie crap for the remainder of the show. It began to get a little distracting because they were seated directly in the visual path of the center stage. That whole charade totally stole the thunder of the comic who had to follow the proposal. People weren't in a laughing mood anymore, they were in a "awwww" mood. All kidding aside, I have to admit.. it was sweet. Although I don't understand the romantic side of a proposal in a comedy club. Maybe he reasoned that if she laughed in his face when he asked, he could play it off as a joke..at least until he got home and drowned himself in his own tears.
by Lorrine Goe on I was expecting the worst going into this place. But was pleasantly surprised. We got 2 things, the beef sauce (by far the best thing) and the vegetarian stew. eh. But for 20 bucks, this was awesome. Had a few drinks, called it a night. Club Waziema made all my Ethiopian dreams come true.
by Chloe G. on Okay rateclubsers! I'm going to be only speaking about the downstairs nightclub portion of AsiaSF because I feel that everyone needs to know whats up with the nightclub area down there and needs to know the truth about the club portion in AsiaSF. Most men don't know this but AsiaSF is the "hidden gem" for single heterosexual (straight) men! Why? Well for some reason, AsiaSF has gotten a rep as being a gay club when in reality it really is NOT a gay club at all or even close to being a gay club. I assume it probably has to do something with the gender illusionist performers upstairs but anyone who has gone to AsiaSF knows that upstairs (restaurant area) and downstairs (nightclub area) is two different worlds. So every weekend they have tons and I mean TONS of bachelorette parties and birthday parties there. They go there to have dinner, drink dance and have a good time with their friends and other bachelorettes. On an average Friday or Saturday night, they have anywhere from 10 to 25 bachelorette parties there! On average each bachelorette party has around 7 to 14 ladies in their group, times that by an average of 15 parties...well you can do the math! Why I say its a hidden gem for single straight men is that there are always WAY MORE women there than men in the club. That's because all the bachelorettes are there and utilize AsiaSF as a central hub for them to have dinner, get their drink, dance and party on before heading out to other clubs or some bachelorette parties end their night at AsiaSF also. So the party gets started early at AsiaSF on most weekends...usually at around 8:30PM or so on Fridays and around 7:30PM or so on Saturdays, depending on how many bachelorette parties they have booked for the night. And depending on the night, the party goes on till about your normal 2AM....again with 95% all women in there! Whether they are single or taken, that's for you to find out! So since most straight single men think of AsiaSF as a gay club, even though its not, they naturally don't want to go there to party downstairs. So what happens is that all these bachelorettes show up there to have dinner, drink, watch a few lady of Asia shows, dance and then they move on to a club or go home! Why do they move on? Because the ratio of women to men down at the night club is about 12 women for every 1 man. You think I'm kidding? Go to AsiaSF one Friday or Saturday night and you will see that I'm not joking! Saturdays are their busy nights and that place can get packed downstairs so I suggest you arrive early, grab a drink with your friends and watch the endless groups of bachelorette parties show up all throughout the night to do one thing...dance, drink and have fun! They have a live DJ there every weekend and the music is a mix of Top 40, Hip Hop, R&B, Dance and Old school tracks from 80's and 90's. The crowd is a VERY nice mixed crowd with all nationalities; Caucasian, African American, Asian, Latin, and anything in between. The downstairs portion of AsiaSF is a 21 and over area but majority of the people there are about 24 and up I would say mostly consisting of bachelorettes and dinner guests with some club goers as well. The venue itself is small and it gets hot in there when it gets crowded so if you're wearing a jacket to fight off the San Francisco cold weather, you won't need it inside and they also offer FREE coat check too! I guess my only complaint as a female is the bathrooms being that they don't have enough but being a San Francisco native, that's pretty typical here in the city so there is nothing you can really do about it but wait. They have a full bar downstairs also and they make some great drinks from my experience there. The bartenders there are also really friendly! The place can definitely use some remodeling and touching up but if you are there to just have dinner, drink and dance, then you will be fine. So if you are a single heterosexual male, and looking for a place to hang out at with your single male friends with a very good guy to girl ratio, then I highly recommend AsiaSF downstairs in the nightclub area. Saturdays the cover charge I believe is about $10 after 10PM. I think Fridays are FREE all night but I could be wrong. I would suggest calling them to confirm. I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars because of the bathroom situation but overall I love hanging out at AsiaSF on the weekends with my girlfriends and guy friends too!
