Just had my birthday there on a Saturday 9:15 show… I had 15 guest. I requested the Diamond Package. $ 69 per person. However, you need to include 20% mandatory tip and Tax on top of that. If you do the math $ 69 turns into $ 93 per person. That is not including drinks. The food was amazing. The manager was very accommodating as well. I am allergic to sea food. I requested that all sea food be substituted. The manager without giving me $hit. He made it happen. The desserts were my favorite. The drinks were well made. The shows where out of this world. I was highly entertained not to mention very jealous on how beautiful they all looked. When the show was over the ladies showed us love by coming to our table to take pictures with us and even gave me a free shot(body shot). The club downstairs played great music(HIPHOP). It had been a while. must clubs now a days do a mix of hip hop and house music. This was pure Hip hop all night long. YES! Unfortunately the club did die down pretty quickly. By 12 pm the club was half empty. TO me however, was not a bad thing. It felt good to dance without having to worry about someone running into me. Felt even better to be able to seat down anytime my feet where hurting.(There was no reserved seating.) Ultimately, I had a great time. My guest eat until they couldn’t eat. Everyone was full. We were all drunk. We had no drama. We danced to great music and friendly staff. OVERALL10 Stars! if I could give it. Just come prepared to spend some money. Its not cheap at all, but well worth the experience.

3.5 stars The dinner show takes place upstairs but there is also a nice, but smallish dance floor downstairs with a dedicated bar. The food served during the dinner show was surprisingly good, but slightly overpriced for the portion size. In terms of the crowd, expect to see plenty of birthday and bachelorette parties. All that said, the real draw for this place is the dance show featuring the transgender Ladies of AsiaSF. So, how was it? Well, the first thing that I think should be clarified is that the«stage» is really just a normal bar that runs the length of the dining room. And while the ladies are beautiful and many of their performances quite entertaining(including their spontaneous interactions with the crowd), the show didn’t quite live up to expectations. IIRC there are two shows at each dinner seating with each show consisting of about 4 or 5 dancers each doing a dance number for a few minutes. The quality of the shows greatly varied with a couple of really engaging performances and others being easily forgettable. If you’re just looking for something beyond the regular dinner or club experience, then you’ll be satisfied, but set your expectations appropriately.

So much fun!!! Everyone man and woman need to come for dinner and a show here! A few girls and I went for bachelorette party and had the most amazing time! Not only was the show super entertaining, but the food was bountiful and also very delicious. My favorite dish from the gold menu had to be the salmon firecrackers and the ice cream. Hint: stay for the after dinner party downstairs… You’re bound to catch a few extra shows!

I was sooooo underwhelmed with Asia SF! I came here for my bachlorette party since I’ve been wanting to come forever! They add nice touches to your special day(depending on the package you pay for). I had my name on the menu and I got a private dance on the stage. While I had a blurry, hot mess of a good time… I expected so much more from the show. Maybe I expected too much like different costumes and props. but it’s just lip singing and dancing. Girls were friendly. And the food was mediocre. By the way, shots on the check in we’re not honored. They only gave it to me and not the rest of the group, since I was the bride to be. Overall? I’m finally glad I came here but it’s overpriced and not worth what you pay for.

I’ve been here twice now and had a ton of fun both times. First timers definitely have it best — the element of surprise is great! Most recently, I came for a friend’s birthday dinner. We showed up 20 minutes early and got a drink/danced in the club downstairs. Once you’re seated, the meal/show lasts about 2 hours. It’s filled with entertaining dances intertwined with dishes to share. The food here is definitely not why you come. I have consistently been underwhelmed, but you come here for the experience. You can choose different packages for the meal. I would suggest going with the Gold package(9 dishes). Both times I came there was still food left over on every plate. With food, drinks, tax, and tip, expect to pay ~$ 100.

My cousin planned her fiancé’s surprise thirtieth birthday here on a Saturday night for the 9pm 21+ crowd. She chose the $ 56 eight course Gold menu, which the staff personalized with a birthday message. For starters we had: Salmon firecrackers– one of my favorites! Freshly cooked salmon, glass noodles, and veggies fried to a crisp as egg rolls sliced diagonally in half. The light dip was good too. My other favorite was the steak salad– delicious! Flavors popping all over the place with seared thinly sliced beef tenderloin and shiitake mushrooms, onions, greens, carrots, all tossed in ginger lime dressing. I would’ve been happy with a large bowl of this and the firecrackers. Asia-dilla with smoked duck, jack and manchego cheese, peppers, scallions, with a side of yummy sun-dried cherry crème fraîche dip that reminds me of strawberry cream cheese(love) Tamarind Chicken satay was a bit dry, but the non spicy peanut dip fixed that. Seared ahi tuna sliders(a whole burger sliced in fours) were fully cooked with horseradish and Chinese cabbage slaw on top– didn’t really like this, thought most of it would be raw. They served an additional app not on the menu! We got to try potato egg rolls that tasted like samosas. Three«entrees»: Cool sesame soba noodle was just ok. Barely any marinated tofu. Ribs were alright, no major flavor boost. Spicy orange lamb was chopped up in bite sized pieces in sauce, had a side of sticky white rice and pickled cucumbers. I liked the thin round plantain chips stuck on the rice. The dessert that never fails: ICECREAM! My cousin definitely chose this place for the Filipino macapuno ice cream SMH. The trio of flavors included ube(purple yam) with toasted coconut topping, macapuno(young coconut) with candied peanuts, and my new love langka(jackfruit) with a sun dried cherry. I was so tempted to ask our neighbors for their three langka cones. Instead, I watched them melt with a frown on my face. If my cousin had been sitting next to me, we would’ve asked. I must have bad luck with drinks in SF because this was the second time my drink was too strong! First at Infusion, now here. I must look like a heavyweight. I ordered Karmina’s Kiss(unknowingly from Karmina herself) for $ 12 and I’m surprised I finished it by midnight. Kind of disappointed the martini glass it came in wasn’t all dolled up in at least pink sugar crystals. Where’s the aesthetic appeal? The maraschino cherry sank to the bottom. Maybe try a colored skewer with cherries, peach cubes, pineapple wedges, and a small piece of orange alternating on it? It would step up its game and look as much as it costs. Performers for the evening: Nya Amber Bambiana Aliyah V Leilani Tita Aida Karmina(doubled as announcer as the evening ended) We were treated to 4 – 5 musical numbers(and quite an eyeful) at 10pm, and once again at 11pm right after they served our ice cream! Right off the bat, I knew Tita Aida would be hilarious. I loved her super woman act first disguised as the elusive Carmen Sandiego! Aliyah was one of our sweet waitresses and she’s so pretty. Almost anything goes at this place(within reason) and the birthday boy definitely got his fill of an alcohol shot, whether he liked it or not! My only suggestion would be more crowd involvement during the performances. The guests at the actual bar had a blast though. All the ladies are so nice! So many birthdays the night we went! Plus bachelorette parties going strong. Thank you for the complimentary lemon lime shots and a good time unlike any other, Asia SF! Cheers to modern science and being happily true to yourself in any shape or form.

I really wanted to like this place, but I was majorly disappointed with what we got for the amount we paid for. Dinner was $ 75 per person, plus the mandatory 4% tip for employees. If you ordered drinks from their menu, they also charge 4% tip on the drinks alone. If you ordered a mixed drink that wasn’t on the menu, they charged for each alcohol brand that they used separately, in addition to 4% tip per alcohol brand. The food was decent; however, it wasn’t anything to rave over, which was very disappointing. Although the staff and girls are very friendly and cool to talk with… and take shots off of(hahaha!), I was honestly expecting a little more from the«show». Only one of the performances was awesome and really engaged with the crowd, but the others were just average to me. The place is small to say the least, so be prepared to get very cozy with complete strangers. There is a nightclub and bar downstairs, if you feel like dancing and drinking more after dinner. Overall, I’m glad that our group enjoyed each other’s company while dining here. However, as I stated before, I feel like you pay a lot more than what you’re getting here. As a result, I would not dine at this restaurant again.

I came here on a Friday with a group of friends for a birthday gathering. We were a party of 20. It was very disorganized. We arrived 30 minutes early and were informed our table wasn’t ready yet. So we decided to go to the bar/club downstairs. It looked like a basement with a stripper pole and had awful music. When our table was ready, it was only set for a party of 16. We had to ask for 4 more bar stools, plates, and chopsticks. Seriously?.. The food wasn’t that great. Let’s face it. We’re just paying for the show. CONS: it’s quite pricey, you’re looking at spending $ 75 per person.

I think Asia SF is just okay. I think it’s fun to experience once but I don’t know that I would jump up and down to go back. The show: The actual performance is quite entertaining. The dancers are fun and engage the audience. The food: The food is mediocre at best. You are really paying for the show. The price: You’re looking at $ 75+ a person. We only have a group of 4 so we were in the lowest price range but after drinks and other fees it all adds up.

Oh wow. I came here recently for a friend’s birthday and we rolled in deep. There were probably about 17 of us, both guys and girls. We arrived around our seating time, which was the earliest, 5:30pm. Before we even walked in, we were treated like stars! They asked us to take photos on the red carpet and gave us the rundown of what to expect that night before showing us to the table. The table was all set and on each plate consisted of the menu which was decided ahead of time. We chose the Gold menu which was the cheapest option. Even though we didn’t need the menu to order food, it was great and even had a custom message to the Birthday Girl! The side included pictures of all the performers and their signature drinks. The names were unique to say the least. The food is served tapas style and was perfectly portioned for 3 – 4 people. The food came pouring out, and even though we chose the smallest menu set, it was more than enough food. It was not mind blowing delicious but I doubt anyone comes here just for the food. There were a few performances followed by a break and then another group of lovely ladies would come on stage. Now I know what you might hear about them being ladyboys but let me tell you, they are GORGEOUS. They all dance and show off their bodies and had me wishing I could look that good. They were even great at involving the audience and making them feel like a part of the show. I would definitely recommend to those who may be celebrating birthdays, bachelorettes, or even just want to show their out of town guests how San Francisco likes to have fun!

The ladies here can definitely put up a show! Came here for a birthday celebration, there were 7 of us in total, mixed gender group. The guys were warned before coming here, but it’s a different story to be this close to the ladies here. Overall, we all had a blast. Our guys had a hard time telling who and what’s real and who and what’s not the few days after coming here. The place is packed with different people celebrating birthdays, bachelorettes… I doubt there would be people celebrating bachelor parties here. The dinner is pretty much family style with Asian fusion dishes. Our menu was just for us, had our birthday girl’s name printed out on it. Portions are very decent, not the best dishes overall but that’s not really the point of this place anyway. On a side note, their eggroll with salmon was pretty good. Gotta love them mini ice cream cones with Filipino ice creams. They have a long list of cocktails, each named after their performer. Had a sidecar, I think it was the only whiskey-based drink there. Pretty good, easy to drink, not too sweet, doesn’t taste like juice. They have a small dancefloor down below where you can hang around after the dinner. Not the best spot, but pretty old school with older folks and also the top 40, hip hop, R&B playlists. The crowd dies down like within an hour or so when we were there.

This place is so much fun! I’ve been here twice; once for a bachelorette party, and the other for a work get together. The food is amazing, we had the family style prie fixe menu and everything was way better than I thought it would be. The place looks sketchy from the outside, but I assure you its fun times inside ;) The performers are gorgeous, funny and great entertainers. My cheeks hurt from smiling/laughing all night. Hats off to these ladies!

I came here recently for a bachelorette party, and had such a great time! The servers were super duper nice to us throughout our experience, and the ladies on stage were awesome! And I was surprised how good our meal was. We had the Platinum package, which included chicken satays, «Asia-dilla», blackened tuna sashimi, baby bok choy & shiitakes, grilled shrimp & herb salad, miso glazed salmon, orange lamb, baby back ribs, sesame soba noodles, mini ice cream cones, and banana beignets. The only dish I didn’t like was the orange lamb. Lamb can get gamey, and the orange sauce didn’t help. And I wish there was more salmon for our party of 11. They gave us two of them, when it really should have been 3 – 4. And when we got our desserts, they only gave us 6 ice cream cones, and one plate of the beignets. We asked for one more set of ice cream, and they gave us another 6, which was now too much. So if you dine here with a big group, expect good food, but not big portions. I also ordered the Pussycat, and unfortunately they don’t have the drink menu online so I can’t say what was in it. It wasn’t strong, but it was delicious. And when they came to the table, they announced the order… minus the«cat.» It was very amusing to hear, and I raised my hand proudly to say I ordered it. I think going to AsiaSF is part of the San Francisco experience. I would go again for special occasions.

My famiLy and I decided to have our mother’s 60th birthday bash here at AsiaSF. I anticipated for this event to run smoothly without a hitch but that just wasn’t the case. We made reservations for a party of 7 for the dinner and special finale show @ 9:15PM on a Saturday night. After taking her out on a day of fun around the city, we headed to our dinner pLans which Lead us to one of the sketchiest neighborhoods. We honestly thought we were Lost but really we weren’t. eek. We come up to the front and check in. The guy at the front said they were running a bit behind and that we should wait downstairs @ their dance fLoor/bar area to hang out and have a few drinks while they were getting out table ready. We waited around for what seemed like forever when they finaLLy Let us know the«tabLe» was ready. The«table» ended up being at the bar– on stooLs with absoLuteLy no back support. WTF? We did say it was our mother’s 60th right? At this point i’m kind of irritated. Our party isn’t at a table the way we wanted and we were all uncomfortabLy Lined up next to each other, making it hard to talk. The bartender gives us the menus and there isn’t the personaLized message on the keepsake menu. YOUHAVETOBEKIDDINGMERIGHT? Our bartender said their internet was down so they couLd make the personaLized menu. Fast forward: It was unanimous– we aLL agreed that the food was pretty bad and the onLy thing that made the trip here worthwhile was the performances given. These Queens not onLy Look amazing but they put out an even better show!!! Each person sheLLed out about $ 100(excLuding drinks) and if you ask me, it wasn’t worth the price tag. I’m gLad I experience this pLace but once is definiteLy enough. A speciaL ‘Thank You’ goes out to our server/bartender for coming through at the very end of the night. He worked his magic and came out with the personaLized menus. Better Late than never!(Hence the extra star).

Surprisingly good food considering food isn’t the main feature. Asia-dilla starter was excellent, filet main course tender and tasty, trio of ice cream dessert was good(but the cones were a little off — stale or something). The venue itself is fun. It feels like it could use a little sprucing up. The table placement is odd considering where the show happens. Also, somewhat random the girls have to climb on the bar using an old stepping stool. Shouldn’t there be purpose built stairs? Show-wise it was good fun. Nothing too extreme or dirty. Mostly just a silly dance show by girls who used to be boys. All in all a fun evening.

Wow, what a great experience! I came here for a bachelorette party and had so much fun! First we had dinner and drinks on the main level. Despite this being more of a club, the 11 course meal was surprisingly good. The portions are kind of small but it’s still filling since there’s 11 different courses. Plus, it’s hard not to get a bunch of cute drinks named after each drag queen. The show was super fun and entertaining. These girls really know how to work it! They really get the crowd into it. Just be prepared to drop some $$$ when you’re here. For dinner and drinks, I ended up spending $ 140. After dinner, you can go downstairs to the club where they play hip hop/top 40 and party til 2am. Highly recommended for a bachelorette party or even a GNO!

The atmosphere is so fun! Karmina is the sweetest! I came here with my friends for our birthday celebration and we didn’t know what to expect but this is definitely a fun experience. They have a club downstairs where guests can go before and after their dinner/show. The show was so much fun and the food was so yum! We had the ménage a trois and that came with one appetizer, one entrée and one dessert. I got the ginger lime seared steak salad, filet mignon and trio of mini ice cream cones. The club was so much fun because it’s not stuffy or super crowded where people invade your bubble and the music was hip hop music. It’s so much more enjoyable to dance to hip hop than edm. Can’t wait to bring other friends here for THEIR birthdays!

We had our friend’s bachelorette party here at AsiaSF where we were given 14 course meal! The plates were small and you think you wouldn’t be full at first but really, by the end, we were sooo stuff! The drag show was amazing! Hah these girls looked awesome. The atmosphere here is perfect for a 21st birthday or a bachelorette for sure. Not really a place you would catch dinner on a casual Monday(which I think they are closed on) Be sure to get ready to record the last act which is the superwoman act because she’s so funny! The dessert was also another highlight of this place. The banana with caramel drizzled on top, three types of ice cream to choose from — taro, French vanilla, and coconut, and a small dense chocolate with raspberry bite — very decadent. We covered the cost of the bride and ended up paying maybe $ 90 – 100 per person. There were maybe 10 – 12 of us total so be ready to spend when you are here. The good thing is the club downstairs was free to guests but it was pretty dead unfortunately.

Overall solid 3.5 solid stars Perfect venue for a bachelorette party *TIP – sit by the bar – best seats in the house!!* I came here with a party of 20 for my friend’s bachelorette party, and we went with the personalized menu(see pic). It was served family style and we had a 14-course meal. Favorite were: 1) Tamarind Chicken Satay: 3.5÷5 2) Cool Sesame soba noodles: 3.5÷5 3) Miso glazed king salmon: 3.5÷5 4) Filet Mignon: 3⁄5 good, but not the best filet mignon I ever had 5) Warm Banana beignets: 3⁄5 good, but we were so full already! I’d skip: 1) Grilled shrimp and herb salad 2) Orange tofu(we opted for Tofu instead of Lamb) 3) Unfortunately, the other desserts(miniature ice cream cone and miniature warm chocolate cake) were not that great.

I popped my AsiaSF cherry last night and it was everything I had imagined! Drop dead gorgeous queens dancing in impossibly high heels(seriously, I would have broken my neck trying some of those moves, kudos girls!) and upbeat music, what’s not to love? I had a great seat at the end of the bar so I had quite the show, I was fed a cherry by one dancer and feather dusted by another, it was amazing. Not for the faint of heart! My friend and I went with the three course, Menage a Trois menu, where you get one appetizer, one main course and one dessert. I went with the blackened tuna sashimi which was fresh and tasty, the cold sesame soba noddles which were refreshing on such a hot day and finished with the Asian pear & dried cherry bread pudding which was fantastic. The drinks were cheekily named and super girly, a little too sweet for my liking but part of the experience. The only reason AsiaSF doesn’t get a full 5 stars from me was the food and drink. While there was nothing inherently wrong with it it also wasn’t mind blowing. My friend and I had a Groupon which cut down on the price majorly but coming here without one would have made for a hefty bill. Overall a really great and unique experience. Would love to come back here for a birthday or bachelorette party!

I finally got to experience this place! The woMEN are beyond gorgeous and better than your average. It’s mind blowing actually. Not only is this a restaurant, but they have a bar downstairs with a stripper pole, if you’re into that ;) There was 8 of us and we were seated at the bar, which are the best seats by the way. We ordered the gold package which was more than plenty. 9 dishes and ice cream cones for dessert. They even customized our menus! We were celebrating January birthdays. Our bartenders were cute and super friendly. Sitting at the bar was the best to view the shows. I took the corner seat closest to the bar, and little did I know I was gonna be participating. The food was good. The steak salad was a little on the salty side. Everything else was tasty and flavorful. Their ice cream cones were good as well. Drinks were sweet so be careful, they can be creepers. It’s definitely pricey, but I feel like it’s more for the show. If they didn’t have the lady men and only served food, the food quality can approve to better fit the prices. Definitely recommend this place for girls night out or bachlorettes! Can’t wait to go back for the 21+ show times!!!
