Letter:
Dear Rick,
I wanted to let you know how much my family and I have enjoyed Asean Bistro over the years. Your restaurant is unique in so many ways. The upscale ambiance and pianist are not something we've experienced at another Asian restaurant. The quality of the food is noticeable superior. We particularly like the tender filet mignon, succulent boneless orange duck, and the tasty whole fish!

We can, or course count on your warmth and smiling face as we walk in the door, and the service is always exceptional. Thank you for making Jesse wong's Asean Bistro a restaurant that my family enjoys regularly and a place that we confidently recommend to our friends.

Sincerely,

Richard Weintraub

  Just dined there tonight for the first time. Having recently moved here from California, I have been on the hunt for Chinese food comparable to the average one in the San Francisco area. The food at Jesse's is not just Chinese, it's a very interesting selection of Chinese style Southeast Asian cuisine, very well presented, and very tasty. I was pleasantly surprised by the extensive and intriguing menu. I would not hesitate to take any of my fine dining friends to this place again.

  Don't be fooled because this restaurant has a take out food entrance. This is an excellent restaurant with great food and service. In addition, there's live piano music which enhances the setting.

  We first went here thinking that it was a Chinese restaurant. NOT! Their menu goes way beyond Chinese and is very elegantly presented. Quality is outstanding as is the service of all there.

  The food was very good, as well as the service. The atmosphere was wonderful with a piano player on the night that we went. Tranquil setting. You won't be disappointed!

  Really an upscale Chinese restaurant, but don't let that stand in your way. The atmosphere is subdued, the drinks are wonderful and the food diverse and delicious.

  I eat at this fine restaurant about 2 times a week for the past year. Never have I had a bad meal. White tablecloth service, excellent wine and bar selection. Personal favorites on the menu are the two flavored beef, eggplant(true mouth candy), and when in season the fried and spicy soft shell crab. The salmon with spicy black been sauce and the crispy beef are also spectacular. If you are in the mood for a special dinner, business meeting or just a fine dining experience it is hard to beat Jesse Wong's Asean Bistro.

  I really enjoy their Sunday champagne brunch. They have a wide range of first class entrees including duck and shrimp and fruit and cake for dessert.

  excellent food with a bit of a twist. We get take-out all the time. But it's actually more fun to go there as the atmosphere is classy-but-laid-back and they often have a piano player.
