Profile

Once you get a load of the scene at this place—one of New York's most perennially hip restaurants, right up there with Nobu—you'll be doubly impressed the food is so good. The theme is Asia meets Cuba (or at least Latin cuisine generally), but nothing feels forced. Dishes are served family style—great for large groups. The centerpiece of the white-curtained Philippe Starck dining room is a communal table for 36. Asia de Cuba calls Ian Schrager's Morgans Hotel home. — Steven A. Shaw

Went here on a reccomendation from someone who hasn't visited NYC in awhile, but so glad we went. The food was really good, especially the scallops appetizer. For 35/person it was a great deal, except the scallops were and extra 10/person (but worth it). There were other things I would have liked to try the were an extra 10/person too, but was really happy with everything we got (roast pork, chicken, beef skewers). The decor seems a little 2000, like sex in the city in a bad way.

NY Mag needs to change its review of this restaurant; it is definitely no longer "perennially hip" as it once was back in the early 2000s. It is anything but and the food was absolutely awful and even with the $35 prix fixe was totally overpriced. What a waste of $$$, we will never go back and we totally ruined our Sat. night by going to this horrible place.
