the atmosphere in Asahi is very cozy and pleasant and staff were super polite and helpful.
we’ll go back, for sure!
The prices were more reasonable than I expected, yet the food was high-quality and very fresh. The texture of the rice in the sushi and rolls was excellent, and the seafood was fresh and full of flavor. It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed such authentic Japanese cuisine.
There is also a private room inside that fits about 20 people, which seems perfect for group gatherings. I plan to come back for future family get-togethers or company dinners. The staff were also very kind. This is definitely a must-visit spot in the area.
My wife doesn’t eat fish, but she was pleasantly surprised by the variety of great vegetarian and vegetable options, which she really enjoyed. On top of that, the portion sizes for the price were outstanding — easily a 10/10 on value. Highly recommend this place for both sushi lovers and vegetarians alike!
The food stole the show, we enjoyed some gyoza and spicy tuna sticks for an appetizer, followed by Sushi platter A with some extra tuna nigiri. The spicy yellowtail roll and Philadelphia roll accompanied the sashimi which were all delicious. I couldn’t help myself but order an additional majesty roll which was gone before I could even get a picture of it! We finished the evening with green tea and strawberry mochi which were well done and also really good.
Overall the food was terrific and will definitely be getting sushi here again! It seems they do a ton of takeout as there was always several people picking up food. Definitely do yourself a favor and stop in for some really good and authentic sushi and sashimi!
The other great thing, is that it’s owned by a lovely Korean family. They put a lot of effort into their food and it shows they’re also just delightful people to be around. You go more than a few times and they know you.
There’s a part of me that almost doesn’t want to write this review, because it’s atmosphere would almost suffer if they had wall-to-wall customers. But they certainly deserve to have that much. Skip the other cheapo sushi restaurants in Clarendon, make this your regular lunch spot. The Bulgogi bento box is worth it alone.
