    This is a hidden gem around the neighborhood, Food is delicious , very good taste , it takes some time for your food to come out but you will get the best experience, at first if you walk past by it don’t seem like a restaurant from the outside, but when you go inside it’s very cozy , service is exceptional. I go here very often and it’s BYOP. Best dishes: Cuban Fried Rice, Salmon platter, and the steak Appetizers: Shrimp bruschetta, empanadas chicken and beef

    My friend really enjoyed her Desayuno Havana but my order of the Desayuno Churrasco was not great. My rice and beans were very bland especially the beans . The beans were very watery. I also ordered a side of maduros which were not even cooked all the way. We shared a pitcher of red sangria which was not good at all either. The bartender was new and needed guidance on how to make the sangria. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive but I think if I were to back I would stick to non Cuban breakfast and also order the Bellini since people seemed to enjoy them.

    The authenticity of this Cuban Restaurant will have me coming back the next time I visit from DC. The management was very inviting and gave me a sense of family. I will be returning in the warmer months when they open the outside bar.

    AMAZINGGGG! I would come back here anytime! I came for restaurant week but their menu was so diverse i didnt order from the fixed menu. Guys the Chino Latino dish is EVERYTHING! I'm not a big fan of red meat so i was nervous to order this. But it was so flavorful OMGGG! Perfect mix of cuban and asian flavors. Drinks were good too, disclaimer: Happy hour prices only available at the bar. Besides the food, the ambiance was so nice! The decor was absolutely stunning, definitely made an impression as soon as i walked in! I love that they play recent Latino songs but at a decent volume, where you can talk to your friend and still bump to the music. Only slightly negative thing is that waiters take awhile. But maybe they were short-staff that day. Asia de Cuba is definitely on my go-to places in NYC.
