Everything about Asia de Cuba is meant to be a draw. From the Philippe Starck-designed interior to the Ian Schrager-helmed Mondrian Hotel, Asia de Cuba is a whirlwind of L.A. hype at its best. Make the most of it and request dinner under the night sky on the outdoor patio. From here, let the L.A. skyline set the stage for the critically-acclaimed Asian-Latino cuisine. A delectable fusion of creativity, try the much-talked-about oxtail spring rolls and calamari salad "asia de cuba" for starters. The enormous portions are meant to be shared, a relief when we were served the hunan whole wok crispy fish. The waitstaff will be the first to inform you that the menu is really about the rum. We loved the coconut-topped Blue Cuban, but their 15 other specialties certainly do not disappoint.
