Food was so-so but I'll give it another try
I ate at CreAsian with a group of friends and the service was great but the food was nothing to write home about. Each person in my party ordered something different but it seemed like everything tasted the same. It seemed like every dish was served with the same sauce and I was looking for different flavors. I had the seabass and it was way too salty. I'll give it another try and see if my opinion changes.    [02 Mar 2003 18:39:44]

Almost missed such great restaurant
Passed by many times, but didn't pay much attention to this restaurant. Another friend of mine who dined out a lot and lived only 5 minutes away for 2 years didn't know about CreAsian either.

Excellent food and services. Dessert is a must try! Love the decoration idea. Cool bar to hang out right next door. Price is considered rather high comparing to other restaurants in the area, but it is worth it.    [14 Apr 2003 12:33:30]

BEST FUSION CUISINE IN THE WORLD
Imagine European dishes cooked with Chinese ingredients or Chinese dishes prepared with a European twist. The food can turn out quite delicious if done right but most attempts at creative fusing of two totally distinct culinary styles can sometimes turn out disasterous. Creasian Asian Bistro is perhaps one of the few exceptions.
In fact, this place is absolutely off the wall and off the beaten path! Even the big pricey fusion places in San Francisco and Contra Costa County that I've eaten in can't hold a candle to this cozy but elegant Bistro in San Leandro. This is truly fusion at its best. These guys never advertise and they're tucked away in the Estudillo neighborhood of San Leandro. Yet, there are lines out the door on weekday evenings. The food is dynamite but you gotta try it to believe it. Great wine list too.    [14 Oct 2001 04:37:53]

Not worth the price
Food was OK. Small portions. Minimal atmosphere. Service so-so.    [29 Apr 2003 19:23:15]

If you have patience and lots of money, go to CreAsian
The other night, I had the spring rolls and "2-way duck". The fried spring rolls (7) were small bite-sized lumpia-looking morsels, with a crunch and delightful filling served with a tangy, hot chutney. For the main course I had the "2-Way Duck" which was served with a dark sauce that was surprisingly light and complemented the duck nicely. The waitress was distant and slow to assist. Overall the food was good, but the service could use some help.    [07 Feb 2004 12:03:59]

Way too expensive
This is a cute place to take someone for a business lunch/dinner, but not a recommended haunt for a real meal. For much tastier food, I'd go to the DimSum place just a few blocks up the road, and get enough food to feed an army for an incredible LOW price instead.    [13 May 2004 13:15:53]

So-so
I've only eaten there once, and while the Asian salad ingredients were interesting, the salad dressing tasted like something from MacDonalds or a not-too-good salad bar Italian dressing. And I thought it a bit over-priced, considering its location - and the salad dressing!    [04 Dec 2004 16:20:00]
