Nestled within the Walker Art Center, this restaurant presents a wide range of delicious Asian preparations by celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck.

Unique Delight! |
2550 Nicollet Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55404 United States +1 612 813 1200 http://www.aziarestaurant.com/ |
Minnesota cuisine with a spice of Asia is what makes this place different from other restaurants. Try out the strange creations of Azia like Grilled Pork with Apple Plum Chutney and the Vietnamese Coconut Curry. If you have filled your stomach to your heart's content, then listen to some live music at the Caterpillar Lounge. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Where Food & Art Collide |
901 Hennepin Avenue Minneapolis, MN 55403 United States +1 612 767 6978 http://www.chambersminneapolis... |
This David Rockwell designed restaurant is a far cry from his Broadway set designs on Hairspray and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, but judging by the popularity, it seems to be well accepted. Boasting two floors atop the prestigious Chambers Minneapolis Hotel, world renowned Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten has laid out a unique Asian-inspired menu with items including Mahi-Mahi with Malaysian Chili Sauce, Atlantic Salmon with celery root puree, as well as the classic favorite of Black Pepper Sirloin Steak. The restaurant is accentuated by renowed pieces of art from Damien Hurst and others making this a virtual hotspot for gastronome's and art-lovers alike. For a truly exceptional dining experience, be sure to reserve the chef's table. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Make the scene in the hot zone |
2916 Hennepin Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55408 United States +1 612 824 7878 http://www.chinolatino.com/ |
This joint in artsy Uptown is usually wall-to-wall people, noisy and busy. Chino Latino is about dressing well, being current and making the scene. Look for the sparkly glitter marquee. If you can, stake out a large round, comfortable booth or group size table. The food and drink is as chic as the crowd. The menu features dishes from south of the border and Asia with many selections being hot and spicy. Choose from tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, Sweet and Sour Chicken, spring rolls stuffed with shrimp, chicken or noodles, shrimp and chicken curries, or Thai Curry Beef. The bar serves Japanese Saki, wines from France, Italy and Germany along with domestic vintages. The beer list is one of the best in town and cocktails are made with 'top shelf' liquors. Of course, soft drinks and fruit juices are also available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

If you happen to be fond of freshly served raw fish....head on uptown to this joint. Boasting of a proud Japanese pedigree, Fujiya will conjure up a neat feast for the senses. The hot wasabe can open up all your sinuses and is best washed down with the sake. Don't let the poor service be a downer for you. Review © 2007, Wcities |
