Yes, it's been around for a while and it's not perfect, but somehow I still love this place. And obviously, many other New Yorkers do as well. From the billowing white drapes that are signature Starck to the family-style portions of Asian-Cuban fusion, I love it.
It is only here you can have dishes like oxtail spring rolls, crispy fish, and pineapple fried rice, without it tasting like your typical street food fare. Everything is well prepared and beautifully presented. Better make plans for afterwards, because one cup of their Cuban coffee with the sugarcane stick is enough to keep you buzzing through the rest of the night!

Hip, trendy and still quite popular, this fusion restaurant in the Morgan Hotel serves creative and delicious dishes good for sharing. I visited Asia de Cuba for both dinner and lunch. The atmosphere is better in the evening of course. I remember the portions being not that big, especially for lunch, as I left still feeling a bit hungry.

It does not get much trendier that Asia De Cuba. The decor has a modern simplicity and the crowd the restaurant attracts is definitely trendy. It is recommended that you go here with a big group, as most entrees are meant for sharing. The food is an interesting fusion of Asian/Latin cuisine. Most of the meals have a fruity flavor like the calamari salad (which is server in an orange sauce) and the Cuban spiced chicken (which has a coconut flavor). Overall the meal was good, but I so not know if it was worth the hefty bill.

Asia de Cuba may no longer be the hippest eatery on the block but it still has ambiance and attitude to spare. Before you blanch at the prices of the entress, be advised that the conceit of this establishment is that everything is served family style - whether you're a party of one or a family of six. Not a place for solo dining, to be sure. And for a couple, you have to be able to agree on what you'd like to eat. But if you can agree to agree you're in for a delicious dining experience.
An added plus, it's one of a limited number of NYC restaurants with a gluten free menu
