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…

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.

thought I'd give the place a try but wow didn't expect this
by mnguyen53 at Citysearch
I've heard a lot about this place so decided to give it a shot. We came in and was greeted by the hostess and said it would be 30 minutes for a table. Great not that bad but what was odd was that only 5 or 6 tables/booths were full and the rest of the place was empty.
Walking to the bar, I noticed a table that was empty but dishes were still piled on it. We sat down at the bar and started chatting with the bartender. Great guy and good drinks.
25 minutes pass and we're told our table was ready so we moved to the table. Passing that previous dirty table, I noticed it was still piled up with the same dishes. Should've realized that was a dead give away.
We sat down and were given our menus. We got some water and then proceeded to wait, and wait, and wait. We kept on looking at our menus and started to drool, but still ended up waiting and waiting.
After 20 minutes of this, and trying to flag people down, we ended up closing our bill at the bar (heck he was the only one that gave us good service) and went to eat at Pomodoro's. Hostess watched us walk off, and didn't even ask. Wouldn't think she'd care either way so last time I'll ever go to this place.
Just wanted to be clear, this didn't happen in the last couple of days but occurred about 3-4 weeks ago. Don't remember specific dates but doesn't matter since won't be coming back anyways.
- Pros: Bartender was friendly and gave great service
- Cons: Does the place have wait staff? parking but to be expected.

Bad food with high price
by hatebadfoodwithhighprice at Citysearch
O'Asian SUCK!!!! And will suck your money out from your wallet. Food is over price and poor quality of services. Went there to celebrate a birthday with party of 10. Ordered the 10 course meal, 14 shots of Patron, 1 Jack Daniels, 1 Mack and Ja...ck, 3 sippy drinks call pomagranate splash and a pot of tea that came with only 4 cups. Total bill came a whopping $609 (that's right!!not a typo). Food minus the alcohol of $175 and guess how much per person??? I can feed 20 people with better food and better services else where. Did I mention one of our person didn't show up, so we were actually a party of 9. It's a low class place trying to become high end restaurant by charging high price for bad tast food served with paper napkins, cheap thin metal forks on a cloth-less sticky wood table.

Great Happy Hour, Free Parking
by jooz at Citysearch
Went here for some pu pu's and drinks at happy hour. Really enjoyed the soju drink I had, and tried a mojito that was tasty. Food was decently priced for happy hour downtown, and the place is huge.
- Pros: Awesome happy hour spot, cheap drinks cool downtown spot
- Cons: none
