Asaka Sushi

I can’t approve of this place. I didn’t get sick is the only good thing I have to say. I’m not trying to Unilocal this place out of biz, but the sushi was horrible. My advice to them is if they want to stay open, stick to the easy japanese comfort foods like curry, ramen, tempura and katsu. They’re not going to have any repeat customers with the sushi.

A serviceable sushi/​Japanese lunch spot in an area that’s devoid of budget sushi/​Japanese lunch spots. Sushi rolls range from «meh» to «not bad.» Just don’t expect a lot.
The people running the joint are friendly, and you can see them looking over the counter at sit in customers and actually caring whether the patrons enjoy the food.
You won’t break the bank for lunch here, and if you’re on the fly, there is a selection of premade sushi rolls that you can easily grab and get out the joint faster than you can say «domo arrigato Mr. Robato.»

I ordered a two roll combo with brown rice.
The brown rice in my sushi was too dry, and THERE WERE BONES IN MY FISH.
Never going there again!

Asaka Sushi has been opened for at least three weeks. The lady behind the counter is extremely friendly. She told me when I asked her how long have they been opened. They are a fast food Japanese sushi restaurant. There are tables, adequate AC, a shelf where you can grab a prepared sushi/​roll. The last Japanese restaurant closed and was run by Chinese. This one is also run by Asians but not Japanese. The lady behind the counter is Indonesian and the sushi chef looks Chinese. I also spied a Spanish guy in the back cooking.
I had the chicken katsu luncheon special for $ 8.95 plus tax. It came with rice, miso soup and on the side of the breaded chicken cutlet was some shredded cabbage, one orange and one lemon wedge skillfully cut. There was a dollop of mayo on top of the cabbage for mixing, several thinly slices of carrot for color and beauty. They gave me a small container of dipping sauce for the katsu, but it was barely filled to half. The chicken cutlet was white meat and needed the sauce, moist but needed seasoning. Sometimes the crust would break away from the cutlet. Some of the shredded cabbage was slightly bitter, but that’s nature so it was not the restaurant’s fault.
I waited about 10 plus minutes for them to make my order, and when I left my clothes smelled a little like fried food. For some strange reason, many Japanese restaurants I’ve gone always leave my clothes smelling like grease, even though you can hear their ventilation system. Good thing I wasn’t in there for too long.
I also bought an exotic coconut water/​pulp drink that was very tasty for $ 3.25 plus tax. It is a product of Indonesia and was very refreshing. Love the drink. It tastes exactly like the coconut water that you would get from the young coconut, which I am able to extract with a sharp knife. Some of the coconut waters I’ve had don’t have that really delightful fragrance. I would come back and try some of the rolls to see if they are any good.
