The Scene
The perfect spot for apres tennis, Asian Star's atmosphere is high energy and casual. Outdoor seating overlooks the tennis courts and provides views of sunsets across the valley. Inside, suspended red paper dragons and brightly colored paper lanterns help set the mood. It's a great place for an Asian beer or a cup of sake and an array of freshly prepared appetizers.

The Food
With so many wonderfully spiced selections, it's hard to choose. You can't go wrong with any of the specialties, whether it's the sweet and spicy shrimp with mandarin ginger sauce ($11.50) or the sizzling platter of scallops, chicken, beef and Chinese barbecued pork ($12.25). A la carte items--featuring everything from spicy Kung Pao vegetables ($7.45) to Mongolian beef ($8.95)--are served with steamed rice. Or you can order any a la carte item as a combination plate, which includes soup of the day, fried shrimp, fried wonton, egg roll and fried rice ($3.00 extra).
