We went to this restaurant yesterday after reading the review from Tripadvisor. We are from Asia and new in Rio, we are searching for good Chinese restaurants, but this one does not meet our expectation. The food is average, and the portion is tiny, and the price is high. The atmosphere is just so so, there is view but not... more

The food is quite a normal one. May be due that in Rio there are not so many asiatic restaurant is for that reason that is so overestimated. The location is nice. The Dim Sum (prawn dumplings) is expensive for small 3 pieces and not so good. The Grren Thai Curry with Chicken is bad balanced (the chicken is not... more

In a small bohemian village , Santa Theresa,(within Rio), it is a surprise to find a truly authentic Asian restaurant., We were told that the chefs were Malaysian. The decor is stylish and the ambience friendly and intimate. The food is truly delicious, amazing Dim Sum and beautifully cooked main courses. The ingredients are fresh and high quality.

It is not often that I have the inclination to write reviews but I thought the service and food that I had at Asia was absolutely excellent and I cant wait to go back soon. If you are in the area then this restaurant is definitely worth checking out. more

Great menu - we shared a selection of dishes - the food was amazing. Surely the best Dim Sum in town. Go for a table on one of the terraces at the back if you can. Another tip is to take the bonde up to Santa Teresa and hop off outside the restaurant. more

I read about this restaurant on a couple of websites, and decided to go up to Santa Teresa, while I was in Rio, to see what all the fuss was about. I went up quite early on a Sunday afternoon (not used to the late lunches in Brazil) so got a great table on the terrace overlooking the lush greenery...apparently... more

Beautiful restaurant with best authentic asia food in town. Only place in rio for 'dim sum' which are like tapas but asian chinese style. Sat in lovely surroundings of lush green in the balcony and deck terrace area, with great views. A must for all! more
