The service was very good. The appetizer and dessert were good but neither myself or my friends were too happy with the entrees. Food was definitely not what I remembered it to be.

They closed earlier than their website said they close because they weren't busy enough, and they didnt serve us. I'm sure the food is good, but management was pretty rude when telling us this news, so I'm definitely not going back.

This restaurant has very unique dishes, but portions are on the small side. I ordered vaca frita, which is my most favorite Cuban dish, and it was delicious. However, it barely came with anything. The menu said it came with carrot puree and plantains? There was barely any of that. My family and I ordered extra sides because we were still hungry. Also, the prices are a little high for what you get. One of their pork dishes is $95. I'm from Miami and have had the best Cuban pork, so I'm not sure why their pork dish is worth $95. So despite all of that, food was very good. The cocktails were also delicious and unique.

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.
