Review of Out of Asia by Robert H. on Yelp

Its really easy to miss this place. There's a small sign on Jefferson and another in La Cienega, but really not eye catching enough to grab your attention and make you want to visit. It would be a shame to not Out of Asia Venue because you'd be missing out on a Val treat. When you finally enter this place, it will seem like you've been transported to Asia.

The place is stuffed with Asian furniture, both modern and antiques. Its a warehouse similar in vein to the Dock in Boyle Heights, but with a lot more furniture to gawk at. The prices aren't outrageous either. Some of the items might be little pricey, but no where near what you'd be paying at a home furnishings store on Beverly Blvd.

The odd thing about this place is that it doesn't get a lot of foot traffic, so you might be the only one visiting the place when you're there. The first time I visited, I didn't see one worker. The second time I visited, I saw 3 of them.

I think the place is Filipino owned and many of their furniture is imported from the Philippines. But a lot of the furniture and items resemble those that come from other Asian countries like China and Thailand and even the Middle East.

Parking is easy. Finding the place from either Jefferson or La Cienega is a little bit of a challenge though. Just make sure to follow the signs.
