Examples of tasty Asian food?

I understand there's a substantial asian presence on Blind. This topic is to list good asian restaurants here in Bay Area. So far the only Asian food I find interesting is Turkish / Mediterranean. But I am open to try something new. In particular, they say there's some special Kobe steaks (Japanese?), which sound interesting. Any recommendations?

Turkish is Asian?

Most of the country is in Asia, and there are strong cultural ties to the Near East.

They're in between Europe and Asia. Most of the boutique people think of themselves as fake Europeans

Asian food does not include Middle eastern cuisine 🧐

OP has no idea about geography

Middle East is 100% in Asia, so what are you talking about?

VMware cgi OP Sep 30, 2019

Turkey is mostly in Asia. I know of a Mediterranean restaurant by people from Jordan, and Jordan is also in Asia. As is Israel. So, who doesn't know geography here?

I think in your mind, the whole world is Asia, and everyone is Asian. In that case, food is just food, stop calling it Asian food.

Asian = East Asian, stop trying to be all "Akshually...", yeah we get it, those countries are technically in Asia.

Well, Indian is Southern Asian, not Eastern Asia. But I hope India is in Asia, according to Blind?

You're kidding me right? Go search on Blind and see how many times people distinguish Asians and Indians.

Clearly OP is delusional about world's geography. Let's make this simpler for OP. What the fuck do you want to eat? Use the name of the country instead of the continent.

Kobe steak. Japanese?

Cupbop if you have it there. Korean bbq

To answer OP's question and not just get all snippy about terminology: most Japanese restaurants are in Japantown, as you may have guessed, but I'm partial to YakiniQ (Korean BBQ); Mensho Tokyo (ramen); House of Nanking (family style Chinese); Henry's Hunan (guess the region); So (surly pan-Asian, but maybe closed?); and Mama Ji's (Szechuan and dim sum).

Thank you! Are those steaks really that special?

Atlassian YeIi10 Sep 30, 2019

In my limited experience they're sublime if and only if you get a good chef. Otherwise they're a bit overhyped.

So SOUVLA IS ASIAN? IMPOSSIBIRU & I Thought the US Government calling pizza a vegetable was stupid

VMware cgi OP Sep 30, 2019

Lol, Blind, hilarious! Persian / Iranian - also not Asian, may be?
