    The ladies here are amazing, beautiful and so much fun! The food was delish and the entertainment was spectacular! We danced in the club after dinner and could not have had a better time!! The perfect night out!

    I sat at the bar and the friendliness of the two bartenders was Extraordinary. They were also our servers and always made sure our glass of waters were full and checked in if we wanted more drinks or anything else. I would give them 5 golden stars for service. I took one star off because of the Food as it was Mediocre. This place is great for drinks and for “the experience.”

    OMG!!!! We had the most amazing time at AsiaSF!!! If you are ever in San Francisco - skip the other drag brunches and come here for a dinner show!!! ❤️❤️ Sending a special thanks to one of the awesome owners “Skip” for taking the time to talk with us and for taking care of us to ensure our experience was great. Last but certainly not least, sending a very special shout out to our amazing smiling waiter “Karl” for being so welcoming, attentive, fun and awesome!!! You are the best ever! ❤️ Thank you both! 🍸🎉🍾🎉🍻🍸 It was my husbands birthday weekend and I wanted to find an awesome place to close out the birthday weekend before flying home. AsiaSF did not disappoint! Made reservations for 4 for the 6:00 show and had my 15 year old daughter with us. We were so excited! There were 3 performers and they were all friendly, beautiful, amazing and classy! We had much fun lip syncing and singing along to the hits! The ladies put on a great show with their outfits, shout outs, jokes, and choreography! Everyone made sure we were welcome and taken care of! (🍾🍸🍻) Around $ 50.00 for appetizers, entree and dessert. Experience was worth every penny. One of a kind experience! Thank you for such a memorable experience! Great news is that we heard they were expanding to Vegas. Check them out!!

    I had never been to a show like this before and it was amazing. AsiaSF is a wonderful establishment that anyone with an open mind who wants to have fun will have an absolute blast at. From the moment you walk in you are treated with a fun, respectful, and accommodating attitude. The servers were hilarious and kind. The food was plentiful and delicious, each dish was family style and perfectly portioned, with a range of dishes that were well curated and balanced. The show was exciting, entertaining, and exceptionally tasteful. The women were very talented! For our show, we ate maybe 2/3 of the dishes in the first 45 minutes, then had a few shows with three of the women, then ate some more during a break, and then had a final section of shows. It was a well balanced and entertaining program We came with the entire family (all 21+), which is perhaps not the typical group to attend a show like this, but every single one of us laughed, cheered, and had an incredible night. 10/10, can't wait to go back!

    I drove from Modesto tonight to have dinner and see the show after talking to some friends that had just been there. What a treat it was for me! I had the Tamarind Chicken Satays, Orange Lamb, and Green Tea Cheesecake, all very good and creatively made. The guys at the bar were very friendly and attentive. Also, loved the show put on by the girls, all very gorgeous and talented. I especially liked London (I think that's her name) the one with the long braids. She was was so sweet and nice, gave me a hug as I left. Thanks everyone for a great time!

    If you want good food, great drinks and amazing entertainment this is the right spot for you. Went there for a birthday dinner and it was high energy even on a Thursday night. Everything and everyone was great. Looking forward to take more friends here.

    The food is good, but it's really the show that makes this an amazing way to spend an evening; the ladies are amazing! The dance club afterwards is a nice bonus.

    This is by far been my favorite night time experience in San Francisco. My first time going was for a bachelorette and I had so much fun that I decided to go back 2 months later with one of my best friends that was going through a breakup and I could not believe how unbelievably sweet and supportive everyone was to her throughout the night. This is the best place to celebrate anything! Love love love!!!

    I’ve been known to seek out fun and interesting things to do in San Francisco and over the years, I’ve stumbled onto several gems and only one or two duds. So, I have no idea how I hadn’t seen Asia SF before Sunday night. This show is amazing. Unfortunately, it looks like Asia SF is closing down after 26 years, and will only be open for a few more weeks. Do yourself a favor and make reservations to see this venue. The food is fantastic, the service is even better, the sound system is absolutely incredible and the dance show is truly great. I loved the passion and stage presence and the connection between the girls and the audience. Don’t be mistaken, this is so much more than a drag show. This is transgender performance at its best. I’m not sure I’ll make it back before they close but I’m hoping this review will entice others to jump up and see this show before it’s over. Michael Delehanty Compass Real Estate

    We had a lot of fun at Asia SF! Our party of 5 made reservations ahead of time, and were seated with a nice view. The specialty cocktails were not our cup of tea, but still fun! And we still drank them ;p But I ordered standard bar drinks like Moscow mules for the rest of the show. The duck quesadillas were tasty and our vegetarian friend had many options. Our table ordered all of the desserts to share, the ice creams were popular but the lumpias were my personal favorite. The food was pretty good, but definitely not the highlight of the night. The highlight were the ladies onstage! They were so impressive, and entertaining. I could NOT do what they do in stilettos. This place is very popular for birthdays - I think on our evening we had about 12. Unfortunately, my friend was in the bathroom during the birthday shots and didn’t get one :( but hey- maybe next time! The owner is passionate. The vibe is positive and fun. Definitely recommend checking it out !

    I brought 7 of my closest friends (including my conservative 70yo mother) to AsiaSF for my birthday. AsiaSF had been on my SF bucket list since I moved here and I was excited (yet nervous) and it absolutely lived up to the hype from the moment I arrived to when I finally stumbled away. The food? Beautiful, delicious, plentiful, and accommodating. The entertainment? Literal jaw-dropping performances by the most blindingly beautiful people I have ever seen in real life. Our server, Jasmine? Attentive and a wonderful performer! We ADORED you!! And my mother and my guests? Loved every second. By the end of the evening, we had all lost our voices and were absolutely awestruck. Photos do not do AsiaSF justice. It is an experience that needs to be lived. If you’re waiting for a sign to go, just go.

    My boyfriend and I aren’t your classic himbo gays, and we had the unfortunate experience of being seated next to a group of classic himbo gays; which lead to us getting treated like furniture for most of the night by the staff. To the point where they literally forgot to bring us the check at the end of the night for 20+ minutes after the show had ended because they were too busy staring at the guys next to us. The food was good, but I’ve had better in the city for less. The entertainment was fine and the girls lovely, but there was little more than pageantry happening onstage. This isn’t the place to go to be “wowed”. I certainly didn’t feel I got my money’s worth for $360 for two. (That’s two drinks each with dinner). We won’t be back.

    My daughter has been dying to visit AsiaSF since she watched the short lived reality show with me. I made reservations and paid a deposit over the phone. After reviewing the menu options I let them know which one I wanted when they called to confirm. We showed up. Had bottle service (I just asked for a bottle and they charged me). We enjoyed the set dinner menu but found the silverware cumbersome after a few dozen celebratory drinks. The ladies of Asia SF were wonderfully gracious hosts, amazing dancers, and some are skilled wranglers/encouragers of screaming women over their super fun show! We had the best time because everything was well organized. I merely paid, chose which set menu, and our party had one job: have a blast! Once dinner is over you can go to the club downstairs. We did not. We still had more places the birthday girl wanted to go.

    My first time here was for a birthday last Friday night 1. The staff was AMAZING!! Dominique was the first host to greet us and her smile is enough to light up a room!! 2. Drinks were so delicious!!! (AND STRONG!!) 3. They catered to my vegetarian diet and brought out a veggie option for almost every plate brought to the table!! 4. The food was INCREDIBLE (too bad my dog got to my leftovers 10 minutes after I returned home with it) :( 5 The show was PHENOMENAL - music choices PERFECT and the performers were gorgeous beyond belief. I definitely want to come back!!

    What an amazing experience and a great evening we had!! Its a place where not only you will get entertained but can enjoy great delicious meals. There are very limited places where you get a combination of both. All tyw performers were great and we thoroughly enjoyed it. After the dinner you can dance away the night in their night club downstairs which has a bar also and the DJ was great there. All in all a place you all should definitely check out.

    Four girlfriends came out for my birthday and we had a blast. Dinner was tasty and the ladies are so fun to watch. The other staff is kind and helpful too! Highly recommend this for a fun night, it’s a true San Francisco institution! I couldn’t believe I hadn’t been here in my 10 years, will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Sloane G. 3 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    I highly recommend this spot in San Francisco for any celebration. AsiaSF is a staple with the phenomenal transgender Ladies of AsiaSF performers. The three-course dinner exceeds expectations, offering plenty of clearly marked vegan and vegetarian options. The added bonus of a nightclub downstairs makes it a fabulous one-stop-shop for your evening out!

  • 5/5 Lisa H. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best places to spend a fun evening in SF. Loved the vibe of the people, and the energy of the crowd. The performers were gorgeous and very attentive. The dance show was fun and they made us do some fun things as we were celebrating a birthday. I was also very surprised with the food. It's was Asian and delicious. Loved the salmon, pork ribs, ahi tuna and the banana fritters were delish. Highly recommended to go in groups.

    It's honestly overpriced and the food is mediocre. They also take forever to serve drinks but the worst part by far is the location, especially after dark. Lots of sketchy homeless drug addicts and mentally disturbed people wandering around the area. Large open air drug market 1 block up. There was actually a shooting right in front of the building and there were literally bullet holes in the sign until they finally fixed it recently.

    This place has been a fixture in San Francisco for now 20 years. A unique experience with dinner and drag show combination. The food is upscale and mostly very good, the shows very energetic and well done. Not cheap, but certainly worth the price for the overall experience.

  • 4/5 Cristina O. 6 years ago on Google
    We have gone to Asia SF several times over the years. It is a fun place to be entertained and the food has improved a lot over the years. The servers are upbeat and the Ladies all gorgeous and talented. One has to be game when they visit Asia SF so they have the best experience. We always are.

    Fun atmosphere. Great show and music. Amazing vibe. Nicely plated delicious courses. Good selection. Yummy cocktails. You can’t go wrong coming here especially when celebrating an event

  • 5/5 L S. 6 years ago on Google
    So much fun and great food!! The show was super entertaining...really lively and got the crowd into all the performances. Drinks were great!! We were at the 7pm show and had the diamond package which had so many food options! Loved the papaya salad and crab dish. The tuna and salmon were perfectly cooked! Soba noodles, caviar, lamb, chicken... Everything was so delicious! Definitely a fun spot for a birthday or bachelorette!!

  • 5/5 Linda M. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a fabulous night. Such great food, served with efficiency. And the outstanding performances by the ladies was unbelievable. We were a party of 7 and we were all blown away by the excitement and warmth that the whole crew gave. This was a wonderful experience. Thanks AsiaSF for the great night.
