Editorial Review for Asqew Grill – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
This Upper Haight eatery draws a dressed-down crowd and the sliding picture window provides prime people-watching opportunities. Order from the counter and take a seat. The menu's specialty is gourmet skewers served with sides such as garlic mashed potatoes and citrus couscous. Options vary depending on availability, but expect dishes like herb salmon dressed with lemon-wine vinaigrette and chicken or beef in a Coca-Cola-based "Thai" marinade.

oooo the butternut squash soup was amazing; i had no idea it would taste so great. it kind of reminds me of Indian Curry. we ordered a grilled artichoke as an appetizer and it was okay but i definitely favored the soup above that. i forgot what i had for a meal but i remember my significant other giving me a bite of his Thai BBQ and that was YUMMY... well, it had to have been good 'cause it made me forget what i had ordered. :) i don't remember how the service was; i was too busy giving my food the attention it deserved. ^_^ 2007/08/13 - i just remembered, all i had was a grilled artichoke to share (add some lemon for flavoring) and the butternut squash. yep, i definately need to o back for more. yummy!

This has got to be the best food I have ever had in my life! Great prices too! I live in Sacramento CA and I have never felt like I needed to drive 2 hours just to eat somewhere and Asqew Grill makes me CRAVE their food. Everything is grilled so while it is super tasy ,it is super healthy as well. After eating their food you don't feel bogged down and gross. I highly recomend the artichoke starter. It has a sauce I believe called soy beurre blanc...that is absolutely to die for. The sauce is an absolute explosion of flavors in your mouth. I get the artichoke all to myself along with a skewer platter...and I won't share....thats how good it is:-) I have only been to the one location on the marina. I wish they would build an Asqew in or near Sacramento...Anyways you must rty this place! P.S. the banana split is amazing too!
Pros: the food itself is amzingly awesome and fresh..
Cons: There is not an Asqew near Sacramento:-(
