Tucked away in a nice location in Rosslyn, Cafe Asia offers a good atmosphere where one can come to mingle with the crowd after work, dine in with friends, or have a relaxing evening on a date. When you approach the restaurant, it seems to engulf the whole corner of Wilson Blvd. This is just the beginning, as when you walk in, the ceilings are very high which makes the dining room seem that much more spacious. The dining room can seat a large amount of people, as they are usually very busy throughout the week, as well as the weekend. The bar is situated on the left hand side when you walk in, with large televisions, and a nice array of house specials, and great service from the bartenders. One of the best things is that if you want to dine outside, grab yourself a seat on the outdoor patio. Yes, it is facing Wilson Blvd, but a nice setting where many urban professionals will be frequenting throughout the week. Food: The menu here is pan, including Chinese, Japanese, and Indonesian. I have eaten here numerous times, and tried different items each occasion, and have not been disapointed. They have excellent sushi, and have a number of great house specials that are definitely worth trying out. If you like to go generic, and get the General Tao Chicken, you will thouroughly enjoy it, and I dare you to try and finish it as the serving size is very generous. The food is well timed when brought out, with adequate spacing in between dishes. Service: Service is good, 4/5 only because if you are seated away from the majority of tables, or in a corner, you may not be seen as oftern as other tables. This is just how the restaurant is laid out. All of the servers that I have had have been good, and would never let my glass run empty which is a big plus. If one wants to come for socializing, then this is again a great place to do so. Many young professionals will be in attendance either at the bar discussing their corporate lifestyle, or dining in with cohorts. All in all, a great place to dine in, take a load off from the daily grind, and enjoy great food and great spirits. 4.5/5 less
