text: Asian Cuisine is the newest Chinese restaurant to open up at the former Kung Fu Chef site offering traditional Chinese breakfast dim sum and Szechuan Shanghainese and Taiwanese cuisine It is in the same plaza as Bazic Old SF Market and Shuseki They have only been opened since Tuesday June so spanking new they still do not have traditional menus printed up yet currently utilizing single sided print outs stapled together But the staff all sport matching black or white shirts with the restaurant name printed on itnnAt the time I dropped by at around pm on a Sunday the restaurant was still not too busy After reviewing the menu asked for recommendations and finally decided on Cumin Lamb I kept myself busy with a game on my phone while doing some eavesdropping Plus the insightful observation duplicate check printout that I made and verbal confirmation from the waitress I learned that this new business is actually another restaurant venture by the owner of Three Village Restaurant which has their original location just one floor up They also hired a chef direct from China so they could offer up quality authentic Chinese foodnnThe food came out fairly quickly and it looked good Tasted great too The only less than position impression was the haphazard way the steamed rice was served in a small bowl with rice all over the upper edges of the small bowl they charge for each bowl of rice I guess they just do not want to potentially waste rice on someone that only ordered one entreennOf course one entree was not enough and I ended up getting their Walnut Shrimp The portions is good the shrimp was deep fried in a not too thick batter just long enough that it was cooked without turning the crustacean into a rubbery exercise equipment for your jawnnOverall the dinner menu is decent but compared to what they offered during lunch up to pm it looks plain The patrons at nearby tables that arrived after me all asked about dim sum items but all were told it was not available during dinner That is too bad I would have ordered way more items if the kitchen could accommodate such request I hope they will take a cue from customers and at least offer some of dim sum items during dinnernnFor breakfast am they offer a small selection of traditional Chinese breakfast items porridge soy milk etc If I stay out really late or feeling extra motivated in the morning I might check that outnnDuring their grand opening phase they offer discount to customers with local ID or if you just look loco So if you are unsure check them out with this little monetary carrot sticknnIf you are not sure of what to get then order their Cumin LambnnTaste Only tried a few dinner items thus far some are really good some just OK I think the gems will be from the lunch menunnPriceValue Not going to find cheap food at low low prices here You pay for quality herennService Needs improvement in some areas but they were nice and professionalnnThey are open late MonThurs am and FriSat am nn starsnn Mens room could be cleaned up better the trash was on the floornn This will be a good site for UYEs so we can have a larger group to try out more of their menu in one gonn Does not accept American Express Iraqi Dinars but may consider renminbi RMB
