Asia de Cuba at St Martins Lane Hotel

I have been going to Asia de Cuba for a number of years now. Many birthdays and other special occasions have been celebrated there. the atmosphere is amazing, decor faultless. The round table in the far corner is a personal favorite. The coctail menu has new twists on old favorites. I've eaten out in london a lot and havent found anywhere with a menu quite like this, the calamari and banana salad and the slow roasted pork are particular favorites, the wagyu beef is also very good. im a big fan of the sharing idea, its a much more interactive and social experience than simply getting your dish and eating it, also getting to try way more dishes is always nice.

it is pretty pricey but i definitely think the experience is worth the cost. i hope they'll keep doing the same thing they have done for years, for years to come.

A friend and I went to Asia de Cuba on a Friday night and were taking up their 2 courses for £25 offer. When we sat down we told the waitress that we would share a starter and a pudding so we both got to taste the 3 courses on offer. Her reaction was a mixture of confusion and horror and she swiftly went to check if it was ok with Chef! Our request was permitted. The food was quite average. The dumpling starter was very small (even if you're not sharing) and although the chicken main was substantial, it lacked anything special. We shared the doughnuts for dessert and they were lovely. All in all it was an ok experience. The atmosphere was good and the service correct but the food was disappointing.

I am a regular visitor of Asia De Cuba. The restaurant is very well designed by Philip Starck with simple design and good story behind it (ask servers, they happy to tell you all about it). The service is attentive and personal, any requests are happilly accomodated by servers, food is fantastic, especialy the calamari salad and short ribs; I have been celebrating my friend's birthday and the waiters brough up the desserts with candles and sang happy birthday, really nice touch!
I will come back for sure.

My boyfriend and I went here for Valentines day. We spent about £180 and both ended up sick with food poisoning! We contacted Asia De Cuba the next morning and they passed us to two different people and eventually were told that the Manager would have to phone us back. We said fine but didnt get that phone call from the Manager. We rang again and were told the same thing.
Someone called the next day referring to our ‘food allegation.’ We were told we needed to give stool samples and a list of the food we had both eaten within the last 48 hours. We already explained that we were not eating together in the last 48 hours and this would have been easier to produce if they had have called the day before! For £180 you get food poisoning and bad follow up service.
Dont both going here there are far nicer places where the food is safe to eat.
