by Rosendo Munster on First- the wait (on a Tuesday!) Showed up at 8:40 for a 9:15 reso. My bad for being so early- I was excited to try the place. Geez. After checking in we headed upstairs to a back bar to grab an adult beverage. At 9:15 we headed back down to the hostess and were handed a pager. According to the hostess they were a little behind schedule. Hello understatement. If I had known they were over an hour behind schedule I would have grabbed another beverage, but I believed we were just a few minutes away from getting our table. When our pager FINALLY buzzed at 10:20 a hostess took us to the main dining area, only to pull a U-turn and then take us upstairs. Nope, our table wasnt there either. She left us standing in the way of anyone trying to get upstairs and ran down to the front to see where our table was. Eventually we got to our table, which was back downstairs in the main dining room. Ugh, the wait was brutal and the tour of the restaurant was just bizarre! Now on to the food- LOVED IT!! Yes, I was starving by the time we got our table, but I really do think the food was fabulous. We got edamame and tuna tartare to start. It would be really hard to screw up edamame so no comment there. The tuna tartare was very delish and melted in your mouth. I had the ahi for my entree and loved it as well. My friend got the steak which I thought was a poor choice for an Asian place, but it was also extremely tender and melted in your mouth. Overall, the food was good, but OMG the wait was crazy!!!
by Ian S. on Wow...This place is a dump! I'm not trying to say I had a bad time here but it was pretty gross...First off, the whole place reeks like those urinal cake air freshener things. I thought I may have been the only one to notice but all the other people I was with independently came to the conclusion that the place smelled like a bathroom. On top of that, there were a ton of little flies buzzing around the bar...yuck! So, you may be wondering at this point why I gave the place two stars and there are two reasons. First, the bartender was pretty cool. He was this older guy who kinda reminded me of my grandpa or something. My friends and I were thinking he might be the owner but who knows. Anyway, he was very funny and kept us laughing while we were there. The second reason this place gets an extra star was because of the music. This girl was up there playing guitar and singing- she was actually pretty good. So, I don't think I want to go back here but it's not completely hopeless.
by Jon Senz on Beware: ASIA SF will rip you off. A group of 6 of us had dinner here last night. We did the Dine About Menu which is about $32 a person which would have been a good deal if they did not QUADRUPLE CHARGE US without our consent. Dinner came to $400 with all the charges which was fine -no problem. Since we were a couple of three, we all split the charges. We knew something was odd when I was charged $120 and the other two charges were $100 each -which did not end up to be $400. We talked to one of servers who instructed us just to include extra on the tip so our entire total would amount to $400. Next day my friend looked up her credit card charges and they charged her an extra $100. So I decided to look up my charges as well and they charged me $400 -even though I signed a credit card receipt that clearly stated "$120". Update: It took me one phone call mentioning "dispute" to get it off my credit card statement. It took my friend two days and multiple phone calls to get her off card. If you search "bill, wrong, mistake" it will come up that other individuals have also reported theft here. If you go please be careful and look over your entire bill.
