Editorial Review for O'Asian Kitchen – by Anna Roth
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.

We decided to try O'Asian for dim sum on a Sunday afternoon. After looking at their online menu and enticed by the free parking, we were off! The location is easy to find and the elevator is quick to take you up to the restaurant. There weren't many people waiting and a fair amount of people already seated. We were seated promptly and tea and water soon followed. The carts were well stocked with all the popular dim sum items like baked hom bow, which seems to run out fast at the other dim sum restaurants. The waitstaff is very attentive and we didn't have to wait long for anything. I recommend this place over any place in Chinatown. It is unrushed and less conjested than other places in chinatown. The food is freshly served and there is something for everyone!
Pros: free parking on the weekends
Cons: little dark (lighting) for the day time

I am so disappointed that I went to O'Asian for my birthday party on 4/5/08. I called weeks in advance for my reservation. Not only was the service horrific, but they messed up on the orders, didn't have any menus for the first 25 minutes we were there. And they weren't busy! They had no Sake (for an Asian restaurant, that's ridiculous).One waitress spilled half a pitcher of water on my girlfriends lap and asked her if she wanted a napkin... way after the spill. To top the night off...I broke out in hives on my own bday b/c their food has MSG! This by far was the WORST birthday/experience/service ever!!!! The waitress was sweet, but she messed up on the orders. I was so embarrassed to even recommend the place! Half of my party was upset by the service and we're shocked that I picked such a place. I will NEVER Go Back!!!!
Pros: Great Decor, nice set up
Cons: Horrible Service/Food is okay, has MSG
