FunAsia is a popular entertainment venue with three locations in the DFW area. The Richardson location is a combination theatre, eatery, and event-hosting resource. They regularly screen 5 or 6 movies at a time, mostly in Hindi but also some in South Indian languages as well. Increasingly, they also offer one American movie among their selection. Hindi movies regularly feature subtitles, but Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu ones usually don't. Tickets are $5. The screening rooms are clean and the seats are on an incline so you don't have the problem of people in the front obstructing your vision.
As of the beginning of this year, the formal sit-down restaurant (Dawat Restaurant) is available only for reserved meals. The Chat Corner is always open and available for snacks during intermission; besides samosas and a variety of chat, they also sell popcorn, candy, and other mainstream movie theatre snacks.
Rooms are available to rent for weddings, birthdays, and other events. FunAsia Richardson is closed Tuesdays.
Staff are very cordial and it's a pleasant experience. Recommended for movie-goers!
