Editorial Review for Asia SF – by Bethany Jean Clement
The Scene
The party never stops at this only-in-San Francisco supper club, where the "ladies" (gender illusionists) flirt while they deliver big, colorful cocktails, then appear on the central runway in hourly lip-synch revues. It's good, clean but scandalous fun for the birthday-party crowd. The decor is Asian modern, with bamboo accents and back-lit paper screens that constantly change color.
The Food
The food comes second to the outrageous entertainment, and the menu is somewhat overpriced. Choose carefully (remember: The steep prices include the "ladies") to get a meal without disappointments. To start, go for the remarkably moist chicken satay with herb-y peanut sauce and bypass the porcupines (deep-fried shrimp and scallop rolls that have mealy texture and little taste). Pretty squares of tuna sashimi have a peppery crust, but steamed mussels are oversalted. Honey-tamarind glazed pork ribs are dry, but seared halibut is perfect in a sweet soy reduction.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkBig and sweet are the rules for the specialty cocktails here; try Trina's Pussycat with whipped cream on top.
Know Before You GoMost nights, you're required to order the $35 three-course Menage a Trois menu, so be ready to cough up some cash (or plastic).
The ExtrasAfter dinner, head downstairs to the free dance club, where bachelorettes get crazy on the dance floor.

I went for a friends birthday party and was not disapointed. We had a rather large party of 15. We did RSVP for more, but some people did not show up, they waived the late cancelation fee for the no shows, which was really great of them. When we arrived we were immediately seated and they promptly took our drink orders. The entire staff was extremely friendly and not bashful at all, even though a few in our party were when they hostess got a little "friendly" with them. The drinks were delicious and the first round of food was braught to us within 10 minutes of being sat. During the appetizers the first 3 ladies went up on stage and entertained us with very entertaining and friendly dancing. Once we were all done with the appetizers they were allready taking a 2nd drink order and bringing out the entree's. The 2nd group of ladies up on stage were just as entertaining as the first. I would definately recomend visiting if you are looking for a VERY ENTERTAINING party spot. Keep an open mind because the ladies are more then they seem.
Pros: Entertaining ladies, prompt seating, food was great
Cons: Uncomfortable seating.

AsiaSF is about San Francisco diversity! This long-time hip spot wows the out-of-towners and satisfies the locals who want to have a good time. This place is a favorite for bachelorette parties - we were a party of 8 - having chosen the Platinum Menu (prix fix - $48/person), the food is tasty, though portions are petite - like most of the wait-staff. House Specialty drinks - named with a lot gusto - are $10, and mixed well. They charged us a cake-cutting fee and 20%-service; so the bill added up by the end of the night. Of course the show is what attracts and I agree, the "girls" beautiful. Afterwords, we headed downstairs for dancing - the DJ was great mixing up old school and the new tunes. AsiaSF is good for a great evening, if you have the 7:30pm seating, parking is not a problem.
Pros: Entertaining, playful ambiance
Cons: Costs, need RSVP for large parties
