In Short – Asia Roma, a festive upscale retaurant that attracts lots of large parties, is aptly situated on the intersection of Chinatown and Little Italy. Many come for the Italian-Asian fusion menu alone, which features everything from clams casino to chicken satay to teriyaki salmon. But the karaoke downstairs is the real draw: You and your friends can sing yourself silly in absolute privacy, for nothing more than the cost of dinner and drinks.

Good birthday spot

by Mickey 94131 at Citysearch

I had my 25th birthday party here. It was a good choice. They were able to reserve the entire downstairs room for us, and the food was good. The song selection is was good, and I find the cheesy videos funny. Because we had the entire room to ourselves, we were able to turn it into a karaoke dance party. Scary. In short, this is a good spot to have a party!

Delicious food and attentive service

by scottibabeez at Citysearch

I admit I was skeptical after reading the mixed reviews. I tried Asia Roma years ago and just moved back to the neighborhood. I'm glad I tried it again and have become a return customer!

The place is totally remodeled, but the food is even fresher and delicious than I remembered. Our favorites are the linguine and clam sauce and eggplant parmigiana, as well as chicken wings and spring rolls for appetizers. Service is attentive and the food is generally quick. The owner goes out of her way to ensure you enjoy your meal. The bartender is always pleasant as well.

I have not done the Karoake, but have taken a peek downstairs. Overall, the restaurant is a best kept secret and I have no hesitation to recommend!

DISGUSTING SERVICE

by Lilah524 at Citysearch

I just went in there for lunch and the service SUCKED.. First my boyfriend ordered a nasty salad and when we sent it back because of the fishy taste although it was a Cesar salad he ordered, the chief had the nerve to say we had to take it because nothing was wrong with the way he made it..

What did it for me is when while I was eating the owner or manager dog started walking around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I use to go there for lunch and I will never eat there again and I will make sure to send out a mass email to all of my colleagues not to eat there...

  • Pros: NONE
  • Cons: DOG!!!
