The Best Bachelorette Party Destinations in San Francisco | Eater SF

"Of course, SF is known for legendary gay bars and drag shows, though they don’t always love getting crashed by bachelorette parties, and understandably so. Asia SF, however, is a full dinner and show, featuring transgender women. Complete with a catwalk and poles in the basement, it’s intentionally set up for big parties." - Becky Duffett

We were lucky to get reservations for last Friday night at AsiaSF before this Iconic place closes. It was full house with great performances all 3 owners were there, staff were amazing, all the Queens were gorgeous & they were slaying😍🔥. We celebrated my friends birthday, all the ladies had a good time. Show was amazing👏 food was good. AsiaSF you will be missed💖.

Great experience! You can't beat a dinner with a show that is great value of about $100/person after drinks and tip. The service was great by the ladies. The owners were there on this particular night. We were welcomed by one of the owners named Skip, and he was delightful. My wife & I celebrated our 13th year being together, and our 4th wedding anniversary. The ladies were helpful, attentive, beautiful, and entertaining! We're sad to hear that they're closing at the end of the month. I highly encourage to go before you can't experience anymore. Good luck to the ladies, Skip & the team!

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 !

AsiaSF is an iconic modern restaurant with so entertaining show. It's by reservation with limited spaces, hurry to book in advance! Promotes inclusion and diversity. One of rare such restaurants with good food, drinks and services. For sure not good for kids, serious gathering, meetings and meetup. Great for couples, group of friends, occasions like birthdays, anniversaries. Unfortunately they're closing by end of April and will be pop up based events. A them all luck and hope they cone back.

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!!

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!!

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.

5 stars for the show, 4 stars for the food. AsiaSF, one of SF favorites with spectacular show, great service and good food. So many memories... one of our first dates, BD celebrations, bachelorette parties & many more. What a shame they're closing. We will miss you ladies of AsiaSF!

Got to visit this SF gem one more time before they close their doors for good at the end of the month! The food has been consistently good. Portions are perfect and the flavors are good. Plenty of vegetarian options and if you go with a couple of people it's worth sharing the tapas-like plates. Everyone on the staff is super nice and accommodating, the venue is small and intimate and there's no bad seat in the house. You will be missed AsiaSF!

I am so sad that this place is closing!! So many great memories here with friends. Where else can you go that has entertainment, pri fixe menu, amazing drinks, and a night club downstairs?! The girls are so incredibly gorgeous and I remember thinking to myself "man, I need to step it up" after seeing these ladies! This was a perfect spot for birthdays, get togethers, any type of celebrations and I am so glad I was able to go one last time before they close their doors at the end of the month.

Food was surprisingly good for a bar-like restaurant! Service was fast & bartenders, hosts, & the girls were so friendly and fun. I was pretty full after our meal here. The entertainment is so fun, I love how inclusive of a space this is. I really enjoyed my night here. **WOULD BRING EARPLUGS, it is so ridiculously loud, especially if you're under a speaker.

Love Asia SF! We came here to celebrate the end of a long week and were not disappointed. It was my partners first time and she loved it. We were a party of 2 and got seated at the bar, which had great seats to see the show. The dinner menu is 3 courses with lots of options. I had the Porcupines (shrimp, scallops, and water chestnuts with a plum wine dipping sauce) to start, the Filet Mignon for a main, and the Warm Mini Chocolate Cake for dessert. It is more than enough food, and all very tasty. We also shared a carafe of the housemade sangria. The show was split into two segments, and the women were amazing! Great energy and variety. Unfortunately, Asia SF is closing at the end of March, so book your spot now!

We came to AsiaSf to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday. You'll want to make reservations and if you arrive early, the host will bring you downstairs to the lounge where you can order drinks at the bar. The music downstairs was great! 2000s r n b played by the dj. We ordered a bottle at the bar downstairs and was able to bring it upstairs when our table was ready. The show itself was good, however a bit underwhelming. The food itself could use a lot of work. The appetizers came out cold/ lukewarm. The main entrees were just OK. I think the sides tasted better than the main course. The salmon however was great. Perfectly cooked. The portions were generous but it just lacked flavor and thought. For the price we paid, I expected a lot more.

It was such a lovely evening of entertainment. The food was delicious. My other friend had been to AsiaSF before and mentioned the food was so so, and I'm glad that the food was better than expected this time! It has definitely improved and I appreciate that AsiaSF was able to accommodate folx with allergies. The ladies were gorgeous and the performances were wonderful. Best of luck on your next venture or retirement!

I love asiasf! Good service and good food! All the ladies are nice and graceful Servers were all nice as well There were 8 of us and we chose the Platinum package. Our dinner was served family style due to our large group size. We got most items in three plates of each item. We enjoyed the first course better. Tye only thing we didn't really like is the Orange Lamb but that's because we're all not into lamb. The pickles that came with it was good though If I do come back, I will try the Diamond for the scallops and steak

Last night my friends & I had an amazing night out at #AsiaSF. It's a dinner show starring these gorgeous trans women. We didn't want to miss this lively experience before AsiaSF closes on April 28, 2024. After we followed the pulsing music downtairs to continue the fun at the Forbidden City Nightclub. Glad we did it!. It was Wednesday night so the 3 course meal was $79 each and they were delicious. We had a family style dinner that we can taste each order. We had cocktail drinks and they were refreshing. The ambiance was amazing. They will have pop up shows in the future. Hope to see them somewhere in San Francisco in the future.

Date night with one of my besties. It was her first time, too bad it'll be the last time. But I guess better late than never. Iconic place... nice to see the owners come out and greet everyone. Service was good. They had some newbies helping out to accommodate the soldout crow, which made the experience a bit mediocre. Food was ok, drinks were average.

Of course we made reservations when we heard they were closing. Had a great time at the show! Additionally, the food was on point too. The performers were fun, great costumes, and the music was great . A must to catch them before they close. Extended shows through April. Don't miss it.

We enjoyed an evening of wonderful entertainment and delicious food. The people were gracious, all the girls, Jason the manager, and one of the owners Aaron. The show comes in parts as you are enjoying your meal. A great place for celebrations and just a gals nite out. Parking was an easy find. We parked right by the side. Tipping etiquette is simple, separate tipping for the gals. Which they truly deserve. If you have ever been to Thailand to see a transgender show, then you'll know what I'm talking. Be open because when one shares their life with by entertaining, it is a gift of knowledge.

I've only been here once before (a few years ago). It's nice to see that they still have the same vibe. Now if you know me, you know I always talk about parking (it's slim picking). Luckily we had a party bus we didn't have to worry about parking. But I'm here to tell you only, street parking available. Last week our bridal squad came to celebrate a bachelorette party. It is truly the perfect location for a celebration. It's a dinner and a live show. And if you're up to it you and your party can go downstairs to the club (it's free of charger, it's included with your dinner/show). I thought the price was a little high at first but three for the price of one is a deal! The show was spectacular! We all had such a good time! The performance was lit! And sometimes interactive. They acknowledge all celebrations (birthdays, anniversaries, bachelorette parties, promotions, divorces, etc. lol! The performers is a group of diverse trans women. They're so good! It's a must see! The food is Asian fusion! There was 10 in our group. Food was served family style, I wasn't sure how it was going to go or if it was going to be enough food! But, it was plenty full. It was served hot and fresh. My favorite was the hot veggies (I think it had Bok Choy and mushrooms) and I loved the ribs. It was finger liking good! Literally! The service was great for the most part, we got a little bit of an attitude from one of the servers but I think that was our fault because we kinda were paying attention. The atmosphere has a bar/club vibe. It's dimmed, It's loud, and it's lively! I'd come here again and I totally recommend this for any celebration!

I love AsiaSF. To me, it's only $$, two dollar signs. I'm not sure where the $$$$ comes from. The food was amazing, hospitality was perfect, and the ladies were stunning. I don't know if anywhere can compare. The owners are so friendly, funny, and loved. This legendary, gorgeous place will be missed, and anyone who had a chance to go know that there will never be a place like it again.

I really enjoyed my whole experience. You can tell they care about customer service and making sure everyone has a good time. The owners, ladies, & servers were great! I never had to wait or track anyone down for service, they really cater to you. The food and drinks were good. Food isn't Michelin star but it's good. Cocktails were delicious. My favorite was the Jasmines Tarantula. The performances were great! The ladies are all STUNNING & really get into the whole act. They were all great but I really enjoyed Jasmine & Blair. Overall it's a vibe here and you're sure to have a good time. Something I'd recommend going to a few times a year.

I've gone here twice for birthday celebrations. I love the show, music and costumes. The performers are talented and entertaining and they are friendly, and have fun inviting energy. Also each time my dinner has been very delicious. It's a nice 3 course dinner with entertainment that was perfect for the birthday for my glamorous Mom. This last time i got the duck quesadill, miso salmon and green tea cheesecake. SO GOOD. They invite you to go downstairs to dance after the show and it is such a good time. Perfect place to celebrate something even if its just celebrating life.

People mostly come here for celebrations but it was surprisingly a lot of fun. The performances were a bit short but they did a great job! What was most surprising was how good the food was. The cocktails were too sweet and not that great but the food more than made up for it and you could keep ordering more of the same dishes! It was a set menu with a variety of Asian fusion dishes including skewers, salad, ice cream and more

Came here for the SF restaurant week. Been wanting to check this place out, and SF restaurant week saves about 30%, which is a great deal. Otherwise, it would be a bit pricey for regular customers like myself. Food was not bad, but the Drag show was the highlight! Food style is like reinvented pan-Asian cuisine, fusion with some Latin American or new American style. Food overall: 7/10 Drag show: 9/10 Overall: 8/10

I like food. I like entertainment. But what I like the most when I pay almost $90 per person, is service and ambiance. Dining experience- small spaces, wouldn't recommend you bring more than a tiny purse. You couldn't go wrong with their Salmkn-- that salad they paired it with is delicious!! Chicken skewers were tender, tasty and packed with Thai? Flavor. The scallops curry was spiced and creamy. My favorite tiny bite would be the lamb- it was sweet l, salty and spicey in a mouthful of rice. Dessert with the 3 ice cream fav was yum! Food was Great! Pricey for small tasting fare, but great. Drinks- Meh. Club- geez the DJ don't know how to read or hype their audience. Would I go back? Maybe. Not sure yet.

My girls and I visited AsiaSF last night for a celebratory drinks and dinner. We had a fantastic night and an amazing experience. The portion sizes were huge, the show performances was enthralling, the vibe was fun and energetic, the desserts are amazing, the shots were quite strong and hits you immediately. We ordered the 89$ per person package and we are a group of 5. There is a dance floor in the ground level which is great for dancing. We ordered a variety of items and liked them all. Seared muscles was so tasty, huge quality for portion served in buttery spicy flavourful broth. For sides we got super tasty Brussels sprouts cooked to perfection in coconut based sauce. A decent side of garlic bread. Asiadila was ok. Potato somosa was not up to the mark, bland potatoes filling. I ordered salmon with forbidden rice for main course and liked it. The Malaysian curry was bit sweet. Tofu was good. The deserts were amazing. I loved my chocolate cake with ice cream. We had bubble gum and kamazi shots and both were great. We had few cocktail drinks but they were ok, we felt they were watered down and too sweet for our liking. The ladies were just amazing and their dancing was effortless. We girls enjoyed our experience at AsiaSF and recommended to anyone looking for a good bachelorette parties, birthdays, anniversaries etc.

This place rocks so much! Everytime we are in SF we try to get here. They get booked up so make sure you are doing reservations for this. So, you get a dinner and a show, dinner includes a starter, main course and dessert (runs roughly $140). Everything was delicious and I forgot to take photos. The energy at this place is wild and lovely. Supporting API Queer and Trans folks in a fun environment with yummy food and drinks. You can request and buy bday or celebration shots ($8-$12) from them and trust me when I say its a fun experience. This place gets a lot of bday parties and bachelorette parties. Make sure you bring cash if you desire to show appreciation for the performers, you can also tip them out at the end of the show on your tab as well. Remember Consent!

AsiaSF has been at the top of my San Francisco bucket list for a good decade! Even though I'm from the Bay Area I was living down in San Diego for the last 10 years so I didn't have the chance to pay this place a visit until now! I was so excited for my visit here that I binge- watched their reality tv show "Transcendent" before coming! Unfortunately none of the ladies from the show were there that night. I really wanted to see Nya and Bambiana lol. Since we were a group of 8 we had a different menu, for parties of 6+ they make you choose from three different packages. We chose the Gold Package $59 a person (5pm Saturday Show), which gives you 9 items plus ice cream cones for dessert. I wish they would allow you to still have the regular individual set menu even if you're in a larger party since we're still paying the same amount. It would have been nice to choose my own main course and dessert. The Gold Package includes: Tamarind Chicken Satays Asia-Dilla Porcupines Potato Samosas Ginger Lime Seared Steak Salad Orange Lamb "Baby Got Back" Ribs Cool Sesame Soba Noodles Mini Ice Cream Cones The food tasted just ok, they serve it family-style for larger parties. There weren't many performances as I thought there would be. I thought it was going to be a real show production. The ladies come out and each dance only a couple of songs, once in the beginning of dinner and once again at the end. The ladies are super gorgeous and stunning! I wish they would give me a style makeover lol. After dinner ended, we went down to their basement where there's a dancefloor, dj and a bar. We were pretty much the only group down there haha but I didn't mind since we got to take advantage of the fans blowing on us while we danced. Overall I had fun! I'm happy I finally got to experience AsiaSF after hearing about it all these years!

I have been here many times in the past and this one last time before they close was the best! Well each visit was great! Why? Great ambience vibrant, hip, great service from the all transgender wait staff. Food was delicious, prefix at set times since there is a show by the waitstaff who are the fabulous performers. Tonight's show was nothing short of amazing, great costumes, elegant cat walks with fun songs lip synched to perfection. We had a group of 5 and enjoyed our meals as well as the show very much and are all sad it is planning to close soon. I had the mussels (great!), spiced orange lamb (delicious!) with coconut jasmine rice and Thai cucumber salad. Finish with three mini ice cream cones and enjoy the eye candy! We met one of the owners, Larry, who is such a nice man and said they are tired and need to wind down but will likely do pop up dinner shows in the future which I was very happy to hear! They are open through April 28, 2024 as they have now extended.

Overall: must try! Visit as soon as possible before they close! Food portions are small but mighty. I have only visited during restaurant week and I tried the steak and fries. I love how creative the plating is using different shapes and sauces to spice up the plate. The food is extremely well seasoned and flavorful. Service This is a unique establishment with a unique approach to service! The Queens walk around before the scheduled shows taking your order for food and drinks. We visited during San Francisco restaurant we, so we shared our pics for all three courses before the show as well as our drink orders, and these came to us towards the beginning of the drag show. Throughout the show, queens , checked in with us if we wanted more drinks, so even with the show going on service did not fall out. We were so impressed! We especially loved how the drinks in the menu were named after each queen, such a nice touch! Ambiance What can I say, the ambience is special! This is a special place after all! The warmth, community, and joy is plentiful! If you head downstairs, there is an underground bar and dance floor with a more chill vibe.

What an amazing show!!!! The performers energy was exciting and energizing!!! Beautiful costumes and perfect choreography!!!! The crowd was pumped up with energy to scream, clap, and dance along with the entertainers!!!!! I loved all the entertainers!!! The food was none stop and delicious!!! Each course had a delightful umami!!! I think my favorites were the salmon dis and the chicken tamarind chicken skewers!!! The tamarind sauce was so delicious that I wiped the bowl clean!!!! The desserts were cute and fun!!! I loved the ice cream cones, chocolate brownie bits with fresh raspberries on top, and deep fried banana lumpia. I was so full after the meal!!!! And then the wonderful entertainment!!!! What a perfect evening!!!

First time visiting. Sad they are closing. Sometimes when the venue is dinner and a show, the food isn't great because the show is the attraction. Not the case here. The food was delicious, from appetizer to dessert. The show was amazing. They are so beautiful! The service was also great, very friendly.

Long overdue review...Went here way back in August. This was the first time I had ever attended a dinner/drag show. We started off with our gold course dinner, which includes nine Asian-inspired courses for $49. The pork ribs were my favorite! But let's be honest: it's all about the drinks and the entertainment when you come to AsiaSF. I love how each cocktail is named after each dancer, and the drinks and strong and delicious! For the show, they lip sync and dance to the music and really know how to keep the energy going! Really cool ambiance. Come for the drinks and the show.

TL;DR - Truly a SF experience This year celebrates 25 years in SF! I've never heard of AsiaSF until my friend who is moving out of the city invited me to celebrate. I had NO expectations and it was a joy! If you have a party of 6 or more, they'll ask you to do a family style meal. You can choose one of three packages. Not bad, you get to try some food with friends. I am happy to say that we did a la carte because we had a smaller party; we still get one choice per course. I got to try and eat: - shrimp salad: I liked this salad a lot, definitely a 5/5, shrimp was bouncy and yummy - steak salad: can't say much though they had tons of shittake mushrooms and I liked eating that from my friend who doesn't eat mushrooms - tuna sashimi: this was more like an ahi tuna salad, not bad, the sauce was good, definitely a 3/5 - potato samosas: I loved the chutney they offered with this, 4/5! - miso glazed salmon: This was my favorite dish, the salmon was substantial, and the black rice was a perfect touch. 5/5 - orange lamb: I only thought this was OK... 3/5 Not much to report on here. - Desserts to me were good, but I don't really like sweets so don't trust me here. In terms of hours and such - they are open Thursday-Sunday, with Saturday offering 3 showtimes. You can book via Opentable. Parking was easy. Show was a few dance numbers, some fun shots, and more. I did not like that cocktails were $18 each.

After living in San Francisco for over 10 years, I finally made it to an AsiaSF show, and WOW! I brought a friend for her birthday and my mom, and we all had SUCH a fun time. I had checked out reviews beforehand and saw that people mentioned the friendliness of the staff, and it is totally true. You are made to feel very welcome by everyone. We got seated at the bar, and the bartenders behind the bar all introduced themselves and were very nice about any questions. Another lady from the staff would walk around throughout the evening and ask if you were doing good, and had a very warm vibe. I'm a slow eater and she sweetly told me to take my time, lol. She was very sweet. The performance was SO much fun! The beautiful ladies had a fun selection of songs, were really into their performances, and I LOVED their costumes. They engage the crowd and make it a really fun experience that had me laughing really hard at times, namely when they came around offering to do shots with them in a very 'friendly' way ;) The food was good- you get a 3 course meal and get to choose from a selection of dishes. I chose the Porcupines (fried Shrimp, scallops and water chestnuts), the salmon for my entrée and the banana lumpia for dessert. I like more spirit forward drinks and had the paper plane or crane? I can't remember.... but it was tasty. Overall, highly recommended for any occasion or just as a different kind of night out with friends. Also, pricing is really reasonable for dinner and a show, IMO.

Went here Friday night for a bachelorette party and we all had a great time! We were seated right away and we were relatively spaced out well. If I had to dock off a point it would be the menu typo saying happy birthday instead of bachelorette party on it. We were greeted by the lovely Amber and Carmilla! They had such fun and bubbly personalities! Thank you to Astrid for helping fix our table from rocking! & thank you to all the servers for checking in and making sure that we were doing well. We ordered the diamond package for a group of 10 girls that had the most food, included entertainment and access to dancing afterwards. Honestly the food was better than expected, I enjoyed the ice cream that they gave out for dessert. There was so much food leftover. I wish that they gave us takeout boxes. I was in line for the restroom and by the time that I returned to the table it was clear! Entertainment: the ladies here know how to put in a show! Dancing: downstairs is the dancing area and it was not that crowded so we felt very safe! Only downside is that they kicked us out at midnight but the yelp & google hours said that they are open until 2 am I definitely would recommend coming here! Parking: some friends parked relatively close by but I used Uber/ Lyft

Came here for SF restaurant week because we thought the food looked good, but then the drag show blew us away! I've always seen this place when walking around the area after the bar/club/Bill Graham, but never really thought too much. Since we saw it on restaurant week, we decided to give it a try since this seems like a very popular SF destination and having dinner + a show is always very nice. Overall, the food was good, but nothing too spectacular. You're served an entire three course menu that's very Asian inspired: * Tamarind Chicken Satays - 9/10: can't go wrong with grilled meat on a stick and their peanut sauce was very good * Asia-dilla - 8/10: not a huge fan of quesadillas, but this one was very smokey, flavory, and delicious * Cool Sesame Soba Noodles - 5/10: regret getting this option as the main course, kind of flavorless and bland * Miso Glazed Salmon - 10/10: came with pickled veggies and a bed of delicious rice, the salmon was cooked to perfection * Warm Mini Chocolate Cake - 5/10: tasted kind of off, was very basic * Banana Lumpia Split - 7/10: the fried lumpia was the best part of the dish The primary reason you should come here is for the drag show, which was super fun, energetic, and well choreographed. The performers are pulling double duty because before the show they're working as servers and hostesses which makes it also a very personable experience! There are two shows with 3 performers per show and everyone was fantastically fierce. There was a club downstairs, but unfortunately since we came on a Sunday, it was closed for the night. Overall, if you're looking for a great dinner and a show, I would highly recommend this place. There's a reason they've been opened for 24+ years now!

My husband and I actually have come several times before in the past years and absolutely loved the experiences from the ambience, food, drinks and the show with the beautiful ladies of SF!!! I just knew that when my daughters were old enough, I would take them for this experience since it was 21 and over for most of the shows in the evening. Therefore, we decided to take them finally while celebrating our wedding anniversary. It started off ok, I tried to book the cheaper show because let's face it, inflation has been insane but there weren't any available for reservations, just the 8:30 pm show so for the special occasion, I figure screw it and booked it. Prior to our visit, I received a call confirming that we were there for an anniversary and wanted to give a shout out which I was happy to consent to. So, it was a great start. We arrived 30 mins before the scheduled showtime but they allowed us to wait inside since it was freezing, which was great and one of the girls came by to take our drink order and confirmed if we were celebrating a special moment and we told her that we were celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary, she congratulated us and took our names and I informed her that someone called earlier and gave them the same information. We ordered some drinks, and in speaking to the workers, I guess it hasn't been as busy so they only had one show which made sense in why I wasn't able to book the earlier show at 6 pm which was cheaper. Anyways, we ordered our food. The first course came. My daughters and I had the Asia-Dilla which really basically a cheese quesadilla with peppers and very tiny pieces of duck chopped up (very minimal amount and couldn't taste it at all). We were not a fan but the steak with ginger lime dressing salad that my husband ordered was wonderful. The next course came out. My husband and daughters had the filet Mignon while I had the miso glazed salmon. Unfortunately, they didn't enjoy their filets as much and said it was ok but everyone liked the Salmon with the salad and forbidden rice. Dessert rolled around and we have had the chocolate cake with chocolate ganache in the past and one of my husband's favorite so it was a real let down when the cake was lukewarm, dry and barely any chocolate ganache in the center. My daughters were like why did dad rave about this cake? Lol that cake really broke my husband's heart. Oh, back to the special celebration event, even though they asked twice, our names and the fact that we were celebrating our anniversary never was announced. Oh well. Then the bill came and saw that it was over $600 that included the 20% service fee and the 7% SF Mandate had my jaw drop to the floor. However, I will take responsibility for not reviewing the entire booking but I couldn't justify that price with the food quality and very weak drinks but entertainment was great. We were just disappointed this time after being so excited which just didn't live up to our expectations like in the past. Staff were all very nice though.

10/10 the whole experience was so much fun! The food was also very yummy. We came here for our cousin's 21st birthday! Drinks were strong! 1000 stars to the staff and the performers.

It was okay - the show was fun, but I go out to eat for the food, not the show. The food was just meh. There is a 3 course prix fix. I had the samosas (they needed salt), the filet, and the banana lumps (undercooked). The tastiest thing was the side order of pickled cucumbers, and I would actually like to try to make them. I did love the gal bartender (really a bar back) - she was very earnest and wanted our cocktail to be perfect. She of the performers were phoning it in. but some were more fun.

If you are ready for a show, regardless of being gay or straight, you are going to love this place! As you wait for your reservation, head downstairs for some drinks at their bar and do a little dancing on their dance floor before you are buzzed back up for the big show. I always get the premium meal package and does not ever disappoint! I've gone here twice in the last few years and their waitresses/performers can make this gay man go straight cause they are that fine! Seriously drop-dead gorgeous! Come check it out and be sure to make your reservation weeks in advance.

This is a COVID-era review: - They check vaccination cards and IDs at the door - Tables are pretty cramped, you're practically elbow to elbow with the neighboring table if your party and their party is large - Food quality has gone down...looked kinda sad actually, didn't even end up taking photos :( I feel the food quality has gone down by a lot. There was a dish with bokchoy that looked a little sad and didn't have a lot of flavor. I think I enjoyed the seared tuna the most and the ice cream. The ribs were a little dry and not saucy enough. The skewers were a little dry as well but I enjoyed the peanut sauce it was served with. - Cocktails are sugary so we ended up just ordering rounds of shots for my friend's birthday Despite the food missing the mark, I still love coming here for the show! It's always a blast to watch the ladies perform! Leilani and Kimmy are always so cute and nice! See my friend had so much fun greeting her!

Strongly recommend anyone to check out this place for some great entertainment and - who would know, some great food! I usually have low expectations of the food for any dinner shows, because... they were never the focus! To our surprise, all of the food we had were yummy! The performances were great too and entertaining, the ambiance was fun and perfect, and everyone was so attentive! No one was wearing a mask, but they called two times prior to make sure we were all vaccinated and have the proof of vaccinations with us. No one gave me dirty looks either when I was wearing mine! Thanks for a great experience!

Prior to our dinner, Stephen was very helpful in making our dinner reservations and accommodations for our party of 19. Even leading up to the day before, changes were made and Stephen was prompt and responsive to my emails. As for the day of the event, our Bride really wanted to go to AsiaSF for her Bach. It was great that they were able to accommodate our big party of 19. For dinner, we did the platinum package. It came with 11 menu items and everything was served family style. The food came out fast and was plenty. Only thing I would say is that since the place is so small, I felt like our party was cramped up at our table. But then again, we had such a big party. Upside of a small place is that it gave for a more intimate setting as we were able to engage with the performers. The performers would interact with our party and danced with our bride. Overall, our Bride and party had a great time. Definitely a great experience!

Came here a while back for a bachelorette party. And we had so much fun!!! The ladies were extremely sweet and ... Sexy. Yeah I said it. SEXY! Was I jealous? Ofc not. I'm lying. I AM!!! We reserved a long table by the stage, for front row seats to amazing show. My friend (the bachelorette) took a shot from in between one of the gals breast. So did her mom!! She praised how soft they were and how jealous she was because she might consider a boob job now. We ordered food, but honestly ... I don't remember how it taste , it was good I'm sure, as we were all drinking, laughing and smiling. But you don't come here for the food! Drinking continued after dinner at their underground dance room.

First time here. Came out to celebrate a friend. Oh boy the show they put on was AWESOME!!! We had a BLAST!!! Loved all the beautiful ladies. They were all lovely and sweet. Bartenders were all super friendly and attentive. Loved the fact that the owners were out chatting and helping their staff wait on tables. You could definitely feel the respect they have for their staff by working together. The entire environment was just awesome. The food was super delicious. It was a three course meal. We both had the steak salad as a starter. I had the ribs and my friend had the steak. For dessert I have the Banana Lumpia Split and my friend had the Trio miniature ice cream cones. We had a few drinks and they were all yummy. After the show we headed downstairs to enjoy the rest of the night dancing and listening to music. It was totally a pleasant experience. Would come back in the future.

We had a Bachelorette Party of 11 in attendance for the 9:15 show on a Saturday night. We got there right at 9:15 and had to wait quite a while in the downstairs club-basement area to actually be seated but that's probably so you have a few drinks to loosen up. The entertainment and overall ambiance of the venue was five stars, without a doubt. I was in awe of the performers and their talent-- they give you just enough to leave you wanting more! Chantel came around for our drink order and she was sociable and made us feel welcomed and relaxed. The food was just so-so (except for the ribs, which were fantastic) but you're busy cheering and dancing in your seat so you barely notice anyway. I think it's one of those experiences you just have to try at least once. Definitely worth a trip.

Soooooo much fun! Came here for my auntie's bachelorette and rolled about 12 people deep. I would say this is a perfect place to have your bachelorette party as there's a bar downstairs with room to dance and delicious dinner upstairs. The food was delicious! I particularly enjoyed the chicken skewers, ribs, "porcupines" and the yummy ice cream for dessert. Our party ordered from their wide array of drinks and they enjoyed their drinks because I'm not that big of a drinker. The biggest highlight were the ladies I fell in love multiple times. They are absolutely beautiful and talented. Their performance alone is worth the visit!

What a fabulous way to celebrate my son's 25th birthday. The gorgeous ladies of AsiaSF are not only talented but so warm and funny. We had the most wonderful time!
