What People Are Saying About O'Asian Kitchen

Tucked into the middle of corporate office buildings in the heart of downtown Seattle, at the plaza level of the 5th Avenue Building is O'Asian Bistro. O'Asian is a modern Asian restaurant that showcases different authentic Asian Cuisines using as much local ingredients and the best in season as possible; without any MSG to create the freshest taste to your palate.
To accompany our array of Asian food, we have a wide selection of import and domestic beers, classic and fusion signature cocktails, featured wine list, and hard-to-find premium Asian teas; all speaks to the restaurant's originality and commitment to quality.

In Short
The sprawling, cavernous dining room might be set back from the street in an office building, but the inside is far from corporate. Sleek stylized furniture and traditional Asian accents enhance the modern black-and-red design of the room. At lunch, business types pick from circulating dim sum carts bearing standard-issue dumplings, sticky rice, egg rolls and other small bites. Dinner's longer menu offers dishes like honey walnut prawns, shark bone soup and Peking duck.

Great dim sum and the happy hour lasts from four pm until closing. Egg rolls and shrimp balls are tasty as are the regular menu items like cashew chicken.

The service is crazy SLOW and BAD! A friend and I went to have dinner New Year's Eve and found the restaurant had a fixed price dinner for $65 per PERSON! Too Much Food and $$$ for us, so we chose the bar for Happy Hour. It was only 5:45PM and there were only five other customers in the bar. After sitting down, our waitress came by with bar menus and reminded us that we only had antil 7PM for Happy Hour prices. We immediatley ordered a cocktail and a soda. Five minutes later our waitress brings us ice water (huh?). Another ten minutes go by while we watch our waitress fold napkins and the bartender chat-up a couple of guys at the bar. Apparently our drinks were being flown in from China. With no drinks in sight and our wait already too long... we left. I will never go back and I will tell everyone I know to avoid this place.

I work at the BOA building and last week I needed a cake for a surprised birthday party. I remember a friend told me that O'Asian downstairs started serving dessert. So, I gave it a try. Sure enough they have a few already made cakes to choose from. I picked Hazelnut chocolate mosse cake and all my friends totally love it
