Profile

With its gleaming room, buoyant staff, and a menu that fuses Asian spice with the extraordinary technique of Chef de Cuisine Brandon Kida, Asiate would bring you closer to heaven even if it weren't on the 35th floor of the Mandarin Oriental hotel.

Prix-Fixe Menu

Dinner, $85; Tasting-menu, $125; "Taste of” seasonal menu, $45

Brunch
Sat., 11:30 a.m.–2 p.m.; Sun., 11:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m.

Stayed at the Mandarin this weekend and enjoyed a fabulous brunch and dinner at Asiate. Brunch was family friendly, do take the kids and dinner was an elegant, sophisticated affair that lacked the pretention of other restaurants of this caliber. Great crowd and a lovely setting. Did an overnight package with my bride and spent a most fabulous day. The Brunch was amazing, the pork belly and French toast rule, then to prepare for dinner had a spa treatment. It just gets better; Dinner was the tasting menu with wine pairing. Everything was exquisite but the standout was the buckwheat pasta with quail egg and sea urchin. Devine... The wine selections were interesting, well paired and abundantly served. There was absolutely nothing that could have been done better, the service was seamlessly executed and impeccable, the food fabulous. That is the highest compliment for a restaurant. Bravo Asiate, Bravo...

Best brunch!

I've dined at Asiate for dinner and have found the food to be excellent, but, I must say, the brunch is absolutely wonderful and worth doing over and over again. A great value, a great view, with great service. Though I agree that there is a definite "tourist trap" vibe in the evenings, I will remind my other reviewers that the restaurant is in a HOTEL, which tends to, on occassion, attract a tourist or two...
