More information on Asia SF

Part restaurant, part gender-illusionist musical revue, AsiaSF manages to be completely entertaining and extremely high-quality. As you're entertained by mostly Asian men -- dressed as women -- who lip-sync show tunes, you can nibble on excellent grilled shrimp and herb salad; baby-back pork ribs with honey tamarind glaze, pickled carrots, and sweet-potato crisps; or filet mignon with Korean dipping sauce, miso eggplant, and fried potato stars. The full bar, Wine Spectator award-winning wine list, and sake list add to the festivities. Fortunately, the food and the atmosphere are as colorful as the staff, which means a night here is more than a meal -- it's a very happening event. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
