Asea Fusion Modern Asian Bistro

This is a little hidden gem. Getting off at the 9^th Ave stop isn’t something I want to necessarily do again… but I am happy I came to Asea. My friend and I made a reservation and I got there a little early… about an hour. They seated me and brought some tea over. LOVE the tea. I sat and read my book until my friend arrived. The place wasn’t packed by any means, but it was steady. Ambiance was nice. They started decorating around 9PM for the Chinese New Year.
Anyway, we both did the «check-​in» offer — a free little bottle of sake. It was such a nice start! As an appetizer, I got the Kani salad — very good :) $ 5.
As an entrée, I had the spider roll ($ 9) and one of their regular rolls, spicy crabmeat.
I enjoyed everything and service was decent. I won’t go out of my way to come back, but if I’m in the area I definitely will!

I came here with some girlfriends on a Sunday night and it was pretty quite. There weren’t that many people inside.
The waitress I had was really nice and patient and answered any questions we asked. My favorite dish was the sushi pizza, soooo good and interesting. The presentation of the dishes were really nice, my friend ordered the salmon tartar and it came with a dolphin drawn with spicy mayo sauce. The pad Thai was good too, spicier than most places and a generous portion.
Overall I have no complaints and I would come back again because the food was good and the service was great.

We came here on a Christmas night, and there was a lot of people there, all the tables were full. As a result, our food came rather slowly as I imagined the kitchen must have been swamped with food orders. Our server was a guy wearing a Santa hat (well they all were wearing Santa hats for the night), and he didn’t speak much Cantonese, despite the restaurant being located close to the Brooklyn Chinatown. All the menus were in English, although I seem to recall they used to have bilingual menus when I came here the first time. The tea we were given was a bit funky tasting, a little bitter and not the usual flavor I would have expected in tea, but it didn’t seem to be bad for my stomach, so I drank most of it. The waiters did not come back to refill our tea cups until almost the end of the meal though. I ordered a Thai iced tea, and it was decent, although it had a strange taste to it as well, stronger than the Thai iced teas I have had before elsewhere, but it wasn’t all too unpleasant to drink.
For our appetizers, we ordered the popcorn chicken, the wallop fries, and the Japanese pizza. The popcorn chicken was nothing special, just tasted of normal fried chicken, and it did not come with a dipping sauce, which could have made it taste great. The wallop fries were not impressive on first taste, and it came with a wasabi mayo sauce that I was not a fan of, as I don’t like mayonnaise. However, after eating the Japanese pizza, the fries seemed to taste better and had a slightly spicy taste to them which was pleasant. The Japanese pizza was disappointing as it came cold and it wasn’t particularly flavorful this visit. I had it before on my first time here, and it was really good that time — sort of like a flat Takoyaki, with really great sauce. However, on this visit, the sauce wasn’t really there, they only drizzled a little bit on each one (there were four of them) and it couldn’t be detected.
After the appetizers, we waited a long time for the next round of food. As an apology, the waiter came back with a free plate of seaweed salad for us to munch on while we waited. I wasn’t a fan of it as it only tasted of oily seaweed strips, but my mom quite liked it. For entrees, we ordered the chicken rendang, seafood pineapple rice, a spicy seafood ramen, and the Malaysian stir-​fried noodle that I couldn’t remember the name of. The chicken rendang dish was one of the most disappointing dishes of the night, the chicken was tough and the curry was nonexistent, it was just barely there to cover the pieces of dry chicken. I would definitely not order that again. The seafood pineapple rice came in a real pineapple and it was great, extremely flavorful, although the pineapple chunks were a little sour for my liking. When mixed with the chicken rendang, the chicken became more tolerable to eat, I guess, so it saved the other dish. The most delicious dish was the Malaysian stir-​fried noodle, which although it wasn’t spicy, was extremely flavorful and I think I could have eaten the whole plate if I weren’t stuffed from all the other food that had come out earlier. It tasted better than the Pad Thai I have had here, and I would definitely order this noodle again when I revisit. The seafood ramen came in a really big bowl, and it must have been good, as my cousin ate the whole bowl in one sitting and finished it all without sharing it!
Overall, this place serves great food and I would definitely come back again in the future. The service is on the slower side though, even when there aren’t many people (on my first visit, we were the only ones in the restaurant besides one other table). The waiters aren’t the most attentive either, and most of them don’t speak Cantonese fluently, but their English is fine.

You can call it beef over all… I take an offense when sitting side by side in a Restaurant where the person that is white sit for a while after reading his news paper has to ask for his check indicating that he desires to leave and would like to pay his bill… Juxtapose a black man in New York sitting in a restaurant finishings his meal enjoy desert with the check is under the coffee saucer … For years this has been administer… Not only to me but to many black people at many chains … This needs to stop… after all I am a paying customer and I deserve the same rights to relax after all that’s part of the whole rest rest and tolerance

We were looking forward to the BBQ lamb but unfortunately they were out of lamb… however Each dish we had was delicious; Japanese Pizza (minus eel/​added salmon), spicy shrimp roll, shrimp tempura roll, hibachi shrimp, nagamaki roll, sweet potatoe roll, peanut avocado roll, avocado cucumber roll and green tea tempura ice cream… oh yea we redeemed a coupon for a hot bottle of sake… woo hoo!!!
The service was great with the exception of our bill being brought to us before we asked for it.

I had special requests and they made it to perfection.
We had the Mango Kani Salad with a touch of spicy mayo, Shrimp Tempura, Chicken Yaki Udon and Tiger Roll add cream cheese.

To preface, I mostly knew of this place because my coworkers usually ordered from here at night. They used to preface that the food was really good. I decided to come here for myself!
A note: parking is a bit difficult to find in this area. But worth it to come!
The venue itself is quite airy and nice, and I like how much ample seating they have. Very comfy and cozy while trendy at the same time. Love it!
Now to the important food:
Live Uni: MY GOSH. I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE EVERYDAY. It’s not available everyday and I would recommend calling to see if you can reserve it for when you come for dinner, but my gosh is it worth it. We got these large pieces of uni in the actual sea urchin shell. It made ms really happy. Worth it.
Japanese Pizza: Delicious. I love how they incorporate so many different elements in this dish. I would say it is worth it to get and it is a great dish to share.
Mussels: Meh at best. I wasn’t as impressed with it. The sauce was ok, but I’ve had better mussels.
Spider Roll: Nice large pieces of freshly fried crab. I usually am not a huge fan of spider rolls but I’m convinced this place does it right.
Spicy Salmon Roll: My staple that I love to get at any restaurant. YUM.
Eel Avocado: I was not expecting much from this roll, but was pleasantly surprised. Everything is amazingly nice and fresh.
Yellowtail scallion roll: It’s ok at best, not terrible but not amazing.
Seafood Chow Fun: The noodles are pretty tasty — for those who know, the chow fun is cooked ‘wet’ so be aware of that. I felt this was cooked with great flavor. Yum.
Green Tea Crêpe Cake: They told it is is Lady M cake. I’ve never had Lady M because I’ve never gotten around to going, but MAN IS THIS DELICIOUS. I was stupid-​full when I finished my meal yet somehow ‘trudged’ through this cake and finished it.
I really enjoyed coming to this place so don’t hesitate to come for dinner! Not to mention, Unilocal Check-​in right now gives you FREE HOT SAKE.

I love, love this restaurant. Whether you are eating in or doing take out or delivery the food is always perfectly prepared. The staff is friendly and quite attentive.
Definitely a place to go to!

This was a little hidden surprise that I came across while visiting a friend in Brooklyn. In Park slope this Beautiful restaurant inside has lovely Decour and a great ambience for friends together. I only wish we would’ve stayed for dinner in but we decided to take out. Sometimes the expectations of takeout is a little less but in truth everything was absolutely delicious hot and fresh. There is a special dish that not everybody carries it’s called hamachi Kama, which is broiled yellowtail jaw, and I was inclined to ask if they had it and to my surprise they did. I ordered it and it wasn’t expensive at all– it was completely delicious.
The other thing I wanted to mention was that when we were waiting the hostess asked us if we would like any water or tea and of course a place to sit while we waited. All in all I had a wonderful experience there and hope to return with my friends to Dine in next time!

Really nice staff, tasty food, so-​so quality, although it was a little expensive for the area.
Tried the calamari, shumai, chicken udon stir fry, and some sake… Tasted good but was a little shocked that the bill came to over 40 considering most of my dinners in this area are easily less than 10.
I’m not sure if I’d go back as I wasn’t blown away, and was even more confused why they had 4 tvs on with Fox News but hey. Tasty food overall and the staff was very nice.

Nice place to see on dissent park, went in for dinner.
$ 22 for hibachi combo with shrimp and beef, had my beef medium. They were medium alright, BUT, it was very hard and chewy; the beef was not fresh. … Disappointed…
The other dishes or sushi were fine, but servers were not attentive. I would give for stars but again the beef was unacceptable.

I was surprised — Usually when you walk into a fusion lounge, the sushi isn’t that great and they usually act as a jack of all trades, master of none.
For Asea, although they do have an expansive menu with offerings from all over Asia, the food quality was actually pretty good!
I came in pretty late on a quiet monday night with a friend, and we both got chirashi bowls — the fish was fresh, and it was pretty filling. I also got a roti canai, which wasn’t anything memorable but wasn’t bad either.
In any case, pretty good bang for your buck.

I thought this would be a trendy looking Asian Fusion restaurant. But, there is nothing to boast about the décor. I thought they would have really good sushi from the pictures I see on Unilocal,so I came try it out. We got this thick menu and I have to say they have such an extensive list of dishes to offer. I came for sushi, so we ordered the Love Cruise for two, which comes with 10 pieces of sushi, 16 pieces of sashimi with a california roll and a dragon roll for $ 50. The presentation was okay.
I didn’t think it was all that pretty. One of the sashimi was cut weirdly. I never seen it cut like that. It was too thick to eat. I don’t know why it wasn’t cut like regular sashimi. But the other cuts were fine and they are generous with the cuts. The fish was okay. What really disappointed me was the rice. It didn’t taste like sushi rice. It taste like regular rice and it wasn’t made right. I like my rice done right as much as decent quality fish. The rice ruined the fish for me. It just didn’t taste good together.

Delivery
Salad was decent size with yummy ginger dressing
Fast delivery
Spicy pad Thai without much flavor

Kim Chi seafood udon is good, but it has too much vegetables and seafood, wish it can had more udon~
The ice cream is ok, I ordered the wrong one but still ate it

Came here for my first time today, and I without a doubt will be coming back. We ordered the Dragon Roll and Calamari as starters: both were $ 8 and well worth it, especially the Dragon Roll. For my dinner, I ordered the Hibachi Steak, which came with white rice and plenty of vegetables. The vegetables tasted amazing with the hibachi sauce. My sister ordered the Seafood Udon; I managed to sample it and it was pretty good. For dessert, my sister pressured me to get the Fried Ice Cream, even though I was already filled up from the entrée. I was reluctant to order more, but after eating the Fried Ice Cream, I was ready to order another one.
Overall, it was a great experience. The wait staff was friendly, the atmosphere was great, and the food was well worth the price. I was expecting around $ 70, but it totaled to be about $ 55.

I love this place! I drive 45 minutes just to get take out! My picky Caribbean husband loves this place. If THAT doesn’t speak volumes, I don’t know what does.
Every time I come, the food is fresh, hot and delicious. The owner is usually there and he is a great host as well! I always rave about the food. I tell everyone I know about this place. From drinks to desserts, sushi to sake, you won’t be disappointed!

I was really surprised we loved this place. Now my only experience is with delivery but I can tell you food gets delivered piping hot and fresh and super fast. Staying at the Hotel BPM food got delivered in about 15 minutes and it was so good. The Malaysian curry udon soup surprisingly delivers well. The spice level is just right, all ingredients are fresh, and was just overall delicious. I strongly recommend mixing the soup and noodles immediately when it arrives that way you can let it sit for a while and cool down + build flavor. Also it was so filling.
The pad thai was good, not the best we’ve had but good nonetheless. The Shumai appetizer was worth it.

Came here a couple of times. Since it’s an Asian fusion restaurant, there’s a huge variety of dishes to choose from — Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Malaysian, etc. Price is decent.
The interior design is pretty nice for Sunset Park.

Duchess status!
I found this place about two month ago and have been coming here about once a week or more if I’m on a sushi kick. Glad it’s good because there are no other japanese spots in the area to satisfy the craving. It’s located in a very quiet area, although just a block over from the wonderful Ba Xuyen!
I’ve never actually sat down since the walk here and back takes up about half my lunch break but I’ve never had any issues with placing orders to go or for delivery. The young lady who’s put in my order a half dozen times so far has been polite and pleasant.
I’ve gotten the 3 roll special each time which comes with soup or salad and includes all the standard hand rolls to choose from. After tax, it is only a whopping $ 10.90. Their spicy tuna, spicy salmon and eel avocado are delicious and fresh. Big rolls. No issues. They also offer box sets and hibachi for lunch specials if you’re not in it for sushi.
The regular menu is extensive with your typical Asian fusion offerings — noodles, wok specials, curries, yakitori, etc. Unfortunately, I probably won’t get to try any since the lunch special is too good to pass.
Delivery minimum is $ 10. They don’t take Amex!
