Vibes were vibing on my first night trying this restaurant. I love the atmosphere here, the music and the design. Super cool!The staff was very nice and made some great suggestions on food and even surprised me with a fun birthday dessert (complete with a bubble gun lol).Now the real star here is the food. WOW. I love asian dishes and these blew me away. The tuna crispy rice was phenomenal. Sometimes I can't enjoy them when the tuna to crispy rice ratio is off but theirs was perfect! Also the udon noodles - 10/10. My husband loved his sushi as well. He says the flavors were great and the fish tasted so fresh. When I come back to visit NYC, I will definitely head back to ASSET.

I've been to Asset a handful of times - the ambiance is definitely the highlight: warm lighting, cozy seating, and just the right level of background music to make it an ideal spot for couples. The appetizers are always excellent. The wings were perfectly crispy with a great balance of flavor, and the spare ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender with a rich, smoky glaze that made them absolutely irresistible. If you're a fan of bold, well-executed starters, you won't be disappointed.The service was fine. There were times where the waiter/busboy forgot to refill my water and I had to ask for it but otherwise, service was solid.

So the vibes are pretty great at this place and the apps are tasty. That's where it stops. I highly recommend the wings. Super tasty and saucy.I also recommend the orange wine as it's nicely balanced on the dry side rather than too sweet.The shrimp dumplings were decent but needed more sauce to accompany it. The main dishes seemed to have gone from a Asian forward place to a more American grill kind of entree. The flavors were too subdued and borderline bland. The cook overall was great but the execution and flavors were just not hitting the right notes.Would be back for maybe drinks and a bite or two but not for any one that prefers punchy flavors for their meal.Overall service was attentive but lacking towards the end of the meal.

I recently visited Asset for happy hour and had a great time enjoying their delicious drinks. The atmosphere is fantastic--the restaurant is beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting setting. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better.Though we kept it simple with food, ordering edamame and sticky fried rice, everything was well-prepared and hit the spot. The food complemented the drinks perfectly for a laid-back evening. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would definitely come back for both the ambiance and the excellent service!

We went in with high expectations given the buzz around this place however we were pretty disappointed over the course of the meal. Most of the food tasted like it had been heated from frozen and was cold when it came out. The crispy rice was anything but - although the flavors were nice, the rice was pretty soggy and cold, definitely not fresh. The orange chicken we got was pretty inedible and went untouched after the first bite. Fried rice was okay and sushi was good, although they sent out the wrong one first. Service was okay. The cocktails and vibes were cool so if you're looking for a fun spot to grab a drink, this is a great place but if you're looking for a good dinner spot, there are many better options on the UWS.

While a fan of the previous iteration of Asset, the beau and I love the rebrand. Asian Fusion can be difficult to pull off but they do it successfully here. The place was full on a Saturday night but we managed to snag two bar seats to have dinner. The food was really enjoyable as were the bartenders who were so friendly and helpful for being in the weeds all night. The place is dimly lit and the lanterns add a festive touch to an otherwise vast space. They've really gone all out and we are here for it. Can't wait to go back!

I love stopping in here on my way home. Same owners as Tessa on Amsterdam but Asset is open later so I tend to come here more often.It has a great vibe and chill ambience. Drinks are good, service at the bar is great ask for Jerome, he's a lot of fun and pours some good cocktails.

My new girls night out spot in NYC! I'm a crispy rice girlie and they definitely do not hold back with not only the aesthetic but the taste! If you only try one thing? Make sure you try that. If you have enough time to try two - please do me the biggest favor and get the lobster fried rice. When I say it was probably the best fried rice i've had in a really long time? I mean it whole heartedly. Ambiance is gorg and the food is delish. I wasn't the biggest fans of the drinks so I don't have much to say there but if I had to choose one it would be the Lychee Elixer. I'll definitely be back for the food!

It was a warm Sunday afternoon and some tv personality celebrities including Michael Strahan were hanging outside. We had just saw Kate McKinnon walking past us nonchalantly. This is the upper west side at its finest. The food was good and the flavors were familiar but unique too. The rock shrimp doesn't rival Nobu what so ever but it fixes the craving. The potstickers came out cold in the inside which tells me they were frozen. But when we told them they brought out a new hot plate for us. The potstickers were good! The crispy rice with spicy tuna on it was also warm/cold but tasty!Sitting outside is a scene and great for people watching. The service can be a bit slow but they were also nice and accommodating.
