They asked us to wait for about 30 mins for a table, but after the dodge start the food and service was amazing! Had a half price deal which made food very reasonable, otherwise would have been very very expensive. Portions sizes are great though, two men with healthy appetites survived with only 2 main courses and a single dessert (not even any sides!). Highly recommend but not for those on a budget :)

Best mojitos in London. Food different and nice (esp black cod) but not worth full price. Partly paying for ambience and lovely service. Calamari salad was disappointing - chewy and tastless. Better for a group so you can try a few dishes. Best if someone else is paying!

Overall, I have been a bit disappointed by Asia de Cuba. The deco/set-up are original, and tables spaced enough. Service staff was very good and helpful, however staff at reception was not attentive (started dealing with us, then stopped and dealt with other clients instead, leaving us waiting!). The food is good and original, but the prawns definitely lacked flavour. Withouth the TT offer, it would not be worth it, prices are double of what they are elsewhere! Once is probably enough!...

The food was spectacular and the service impeccable. We decided to come here spontaneously because of the 50% offer. With starters around 20£ and mains around £30 this place is a bit pricey but with the offer a three course meal for three came to just under £100 without alcohol. What a bargain! Would definetly recommend this for a treat!

Asia de Cuba is a real destination restaurant. Very pricey but good value with the TT offer. Service could be better. The doughnut dessert is highly recommended.

I went to Asia de Cuba last night. It was an amazing place, the food was delicious and I would highly recommend it for a special occasion. My friend and I agreed it was a great place but you have to splash out to go there, so it's worth getting a deal on toptable before you go (we spent £50 per head after we got 50% off the food). It is well worth it.

I took my mum to Asia de Cuba last night as a birthday treat, I couldn't have afforded it without the toptable 50% voucher. Now I've been there before so I knew what to expect, so I was trusted to do the ordering, we had the prawn and pesto dish to start then the black cod, the wagyu surf n turf and a lobster mash side. Everything was perfect except I'd had the wagyu before and last nights was a bit on the tough side but overall service, ambience and food was excellent and would recomend a visit

Very nice setting, chicken satay starter was great but the beef salade starter was just raw beef with soggy salade. Seabase was wonderful but the steak strips was so dry looked like it had been through the spin cycle. So 50% mean was nice 50% was rubbish. The prices really are mad so I don't think I would rush back here again.
