Part restaurant, part gender-illusionist musical revue, AsiaSF manages to be completely entertaining and extremely high-quality. As you're entertained by Asian men -- dressed as women -- who lip-sync show tunes, you can nibble on excellent grilled shrimp and herb salad; baby-back pork ribs with honey tamarind glaze, pickled carrots, and sweet potato crisps; or filet mignon with Korean dipping sauce, miso eggplant, and fried potato stars. The full bar, Wine Spectator award-winning wine list, and sake list add to the festivities. Fortunately, the food and the atmosphere are as colorful as the staff, which means a night here is more than a meal -- it's a very happening event.
