Description: For hundreds of years in the bustling cities and fragrant harbors of Asia a favorite and familiar place to savor distinctive local dishes has been the side street beer house, or pejiu wu. Here, large mugs of beer complement emphatically fresh and tantalizing "street food" made with fresh local ingredients and regional spices that tend to be on the hotter side.

All the food was wonderful, but the steak was phenomenal. Be sure to get the green beans, a house staple. And check with your server about the spiciness of dishes, as some of them are quite hot. We were told the menu will be changing next week to keep it seasonal. More

We just adore this place as a lively, fun, and delicious asian fusion night out. Last time we visited SF we had to go back and it was as good as we remembered. More

The food here is amazing! Always come and try new things, but always get the green beans and a saki flight! More

I chose this restaurant because of the great ratings but it wasn't that special. It was a lively atmosphere but the food was average and it is located way across town from Union Square where I was staying. Not a must eat. More

Really enjoyed our meal here. Excellent service and good fusion food at reasonable prices. Chilli Calamari had been recommended as a starter and lived up to expectations. Well worth a visit. More

Really enjoyed the food here. Looks like a PF Changs style knock off from the outside, but has some very unique and interesting dishes. Have eaten here a few times and its a good meal each time. More

a terrific place for oriental food. Presentation is exotic. Flavors will tantalize your palette. My favorite and from what I am told are their most popular are the lettuce wraps. They do not disappoint. More

We used the Bay Area Top 100 restaurants as a guide for planning our dining for this trip. This was the only disappointment. We had a variety of dishes, but none were outstanding and one was really underwhelming. Service was great and the portions were generous. Maybe this was just a let down after the 4 exceptional places we'd eaten... More
