Cafe de L’asie

THE BIG: Asian fusion restaurant located in the heart of downtown OKC right in the Sheraton hotel block. Big indoor seating with order to go style menu. Street parking available.THE BLACK AND WHITE: This was a short walk (~7min) from where I was staying in OKC (Renaissance Bricktown). I did have trouble finding the restaurant as the signs said to walk through the building. The entrance to the restaurant is on the outside block, pointing towards W Main st and N Robinson Ave.The menu was pretty vast, however they're known for their banh mi's and steamed buns. I got the bbq chicken banh mi and it came out looking very nice. Flavors were there and chicken was marinated very nice.THE FINAL BAMBOO: A banh mi set me back $7. Pretty good pricing and vast menu. Next time I'm in OKC, I'll definitely come back and try some other items.

Like the song says, " Why you gotta be so rude?" I can forgive a wrong order or a delay, but it doesn't take much to be kind and smile. The cashier didn't greet me, nor did she answer me when I asked how she was. Her fellow employee interrupted my order to reprimand the cashier, thus causing my "to go" order to be processed as "dine in."To summarize: Good food, bad attitude.

1st visit. Had lunch. Food excellent.Basically self service (you go through the "line," place your order and pay. Drinks are self serve and someone brings your food to the table.Will return to try other items on the menu.

Update review on their orange chicken katsu special dish - it is amazingly delicious and the orange sauce flavor goes well with the chicken katsu which is served on a bed of white rice with seasoned cauliflower. They also give you the sauce separate so you can decide how sweet you want it. I also got a year of the snake red pouch with a free boba milk tea for the Lunar New Year. Service also very prompt and the interior environs very spacious with plenty of tables & seating. This place is awesome!

Cool place. Great option for something different than the typical food around OKC. Service was good and quick. Atmosphere was good, lots of natural light and big windows. Food was good, the steam buns were great. Boba tea was pretty watered down, don't know if that was just execution error or how they do it. Because it's in the heart of downtown parking is a little more difficult, just a heads up.

New favorite spot! Came here for a quick lunch and was not disappointed. The bahn mi was SO good! Fresh bread, lots of meat! Everything was flavorful! The bao buns were delicious (soft buns, great flavor combinations), the prices were affordable, and the service was quick. The crunchy fries were a perfect addition. Highly recommend!

Really great food good experience, very friendly staff. Was pleasantly surprised by the food! Great atmosphere inside and plenty of seating options. Will definitelyCome back next time in OKC

Haven't been here since they were in The Collective, but WOW! I think this place was better than I remember! The new space is huge with tons of lighting. The location is located perfectly in downtown OKC. When you walk in, you can line up to order with an employee, or you can grab a seat and order through the QR code on the table. I've had their buns before, and they were delicious, so I wanted to try something new. I ordered a bulgogi patty melt... yes, you heard that right. A delicious fusion sandwich that was cheesy, sweet yet savory, and filled with tender bulgogi meat. The sandwich also had gochujang ketchup, and I never knew I needed it until now!! I also got a side of their togarashi fries, which are a must because they were to die for. They were battered and crispy with a hint of spice, and it was served with a lemon aioli. Can't wait to come back!

I had the hardest time deciding what I was hungry for but when I came across this cafe, decision was made. I ordered the steam bun bundle which was a great deal and so so good! The buns were so soft and fluffy and everything inside was amazing!

The food here was excellent! I was with a group of 4 visiting from out of town and we walked a few blocks to check out Cafe de L'asie for a late lunch. At 2 pm, we were the only ones dining in the restaurant, and we saw a few to go orders get picked up. They were quick and friendly, and every single item was mouth-watering good. I enjoyed all of the steamed buns. I ordered the 3 bun combo (Honey Sriracha Chicken, Fried Shrimp, and Char Siu Chicken). I would order all of them again but my absolute favorite was the fried shrimp. Both the fried shrimp and the honey sriracha were a little on the spicier side (which I appreciated). The Togarashi fries were also phenomenal! The prices were also super reasonable.I would absolutely come here again next time I'm in OKC, no question!
