Funasia

It’s my first time here, I came here after learning about their 1 +1 ticket offer on a Wednesday but the management declared it a holiday and charged for both the tickets. Weird since today is not a holiday. These people have a calendar of their own. Beware.
Theater is also not in a good condition, creeky and old. Not coming back for sure.

So, while I’m not the biggest fan of this neighborhood, I really do love this movie theater! There aren’t many places that show foreign films, much less those in Indian languages. I highly recommend it if you want to watch foreign films as soon as the come out.
The theater isn’t always super clean, but it’s definitely a fun unique night out. It just gets way too messy right after a show — so I really recommend going to a lot of the shows after the very first one. However, if you make the first show of the night, it’s quite enjoyable.
Also a heads up, if you aren’t familiar with Indian films, they do last at least 3 – 4 hours. Plus, most theaters have at least a 30 minute intermission so don’t forget to account for that if you’re planning other events that night.

One of the worst theater in Dallas area. It is below average to be even a desi cinema multiplex. There was a movie ‘Aatagara’ (Kannada movie) which was supposed to be played on weekends and we even had booked tickets. But when we went for the show which was on Saturday at 9.30 pm, ticket counter guys from Funasia told us that move screening has been cancelled. We were like what the hell. How can they allow the booking to open and then cancel the screening. Reasons we got was response for movie is less. Well first of all it was screened only for Saturday and Sunday and then there were atleast 25 – 30 people who came and left after hearing cancellation. How many more people do you need to screen a movie? A professional multiplex would screen movie even if single person has bough ticket. Never will visit this place again. On top of this screens are small and dont give feeling of theater, rather a home theatre. Management is absolute joke.

If ur just looking for movie. Its fun good snacks. But place is dirty
First time i was there to watch rare kannafa movie. Their creditcard machine failed but ended up charging me twice. Now have to waste time to clear it.

I just enjoy coming here during their buy 1 get 1 free movie deals. They have changed them seats since they first opened. They are very comfortable now. Red leather and can move back so you can relax while watching a long Indian movie lol. The only bad about that if you sitting behind someone who’s leaning way back that can bother you. The food is average here as well! I’ve been here for events and the halls are pretty nice and roomy.

Nice place to watch movies.

Amazing place to watch India vs Pak game! Way too much. Served chea, pakorey, chaat, and other Pakistani appetizers made the experience exceptional!

This place is disgusting! They do not clean the theaters after a show. You can find trash right under your seat, the hall is smelly!
The restrooms are never cleaned. You will not enjoy watching a movie here. I will not step in here again.

While booking the tickets online, it said transaction denied, but it had already charged my credit card when I checked my bank. I couldn’t find any option in their customer hotline to speak to a person. It just announced the timings of the movies and then went on into a loop. Worst service ever!!! Will never recommend.

Best place to watch Indian Movies. Movies are released on Fridays and if you happen to go the first weekend, be prepared to sit right in the front if you don’t get there early enough. Wednesdays they offer «Two for the price of One» special. They also serve typical snack items like Samosas, Pakoras and Chaat items, which has to be a part of «desi» movie watching experience :-)
They do lack a bit on cleanliness of the theater, seats and the toilets.

Such a poor theater!!! No hygiene at all!!! Entire time we were smelling food inside the theater. There are bugs in theater. STAY AWAY!!! Far better to watch movie in Hollywood Theater, Irving.

It’s awesome seeing Indian films on the big screen instead of my laptop but this place made me want to take a shower after I left. It was so dark in the theater, I felt like I had stepped into one of those xxx film places. I became more apprehensive when my date said to check the seat before I sat down. People could definitely get away with doing sexual acts in these seats since they have it pitch black in there. The theatre is dirty & unkept. The bathrooms were nice and clean. I also like that they offered coffee at the concession booth. Overall, we only paid $ 5 each since it was the matinée show, it was a great movie! Jab Tak Hai Jaan

We help plan a quincenera and picked FunAsia for the event hall. We couldnt have been more pleased with the results. The food was fantastic! We selected the Mexican Buffet and it came with all the trimmings including an enormous fruit platter for 250 people. The wait staff catered to our every need. The salon was beautiful The price was «extremely» reasonable.
We will recommend FunAsiA to all of our clients. I did not attend a movie or listen to the radio station. I did enjoy their wonderful food and hospitality.
Thank you again for a wonderful event!

I would never throw a wedding here, but everyon has their budget, and you can’t criticize others.
As for the movie theater, if this was a theater dedicated to American movies, it would be among the worst. But its not.
This place has worked hard, with very limited revenue streams (given the number of Desis in Dallas who will go to a theater) to keep this place running.
Sure its not nice, but the choices to watch these movies on the big screen are so very limited, that I’d rather have this then nothing at all.
They could do a better job cleaning up though.

I was a little shock as I walked in to a movie theater to attend a friends wedding. My daughter even said something and she is 7. The reception hall was very nice. Décor was nice! I would throw a party hear if I lived in Dallas area. The popcorn is good. Kids got a little hungry before the wedding and the snack bar came in handy. Bathrooms were clean. Just as u walked in it smells of curry and chili peppers. Later you got use to it. Nice place.

A (superawesome) friend of mine had to come here for a music appreciation assignment, and he invited me along. I was pumped for the experience, and even moreso after reading all the horrible reviews online. An experience it will be, I told myself (and him, many times).
I didn’t think it was terrible; it was decent, especially considering that they surely don’t have the budget that theaters from national chains like Cinemark would have. The theater looks nice on the outside, the seats were comfy enough, the tickets were not «ridiculous“ly priced to me ($ 5, $ 8 depending on what you’re seeing and when; if anything, I think mainstream movie theaters rob you on their prices). We went on a weekday evening, and there certainly wasn’t a crowd. The majority of the people viewing our movie were probably from my friend’s class.
My one personal complaint: while it wasn’t hot in there, it did feel like there was no circulating air.
When we arrived, there was no one in the ticket booth outside, and after waiting a bit we went inside and turned in circles a few times trying to figure out what to do while the ticket taker stared at us.
The 3 dishes of food did look a bit stale (the concession area was cash only, so I didn’t get to try anything), but their prices on everything didn’t seem too bad. Less than or comparable to a mainstream theater, but I can’t speak to the quality. They had banquet rooms, and the FunAsia radio station broadcasts out of there, so this building seems pretty all-​encompassing. Prior to the previews, they show advertisements from local businesses (sponsors?) and events, too, which was neat to me. A full experience.
Note: Hindi movies tend to run longer than American movies, and they have a short intermission. Luckily ours (a romantic comedy) was only 2 hours and some change. Not sure if all of their movies are subtitled, plus showings are limited, so check online first.
Lastly, they have some ticket specials for Wednesdays (buy 1 get 1 free) and their scant matinée showings (everyone pays kids price tickets for showings before or at 5 p.m.). So glad I got the cultural experience, but not sure I’d end up going back. If someone else were interested, sure.

1) Ticket prices are ridiculous
2) Food is stale, expensive, and sucks a big one for taste!
3) No hygiene — I wonder if these clowns even know what that word means!
4) Customer Service — LOL. see # 3
Would I recommend it? Only if you piss me off lol !!
But seriously, stay AWAY from Fun Asia theaters and radio unless you’re a sucker for disappointment!

Decent Indian movie theater. Attracts most of the Indian crowd.
Upside: Lots of screens. Cheap tickets.
Downside: Bad seating. Bad sound system (My home stereo system is better than this). They could put some more variety in food.
Average movie watching experience. There are better ones out there.
