Asuka Japanese Restaurant

I wouldn't call this place authentic but the food is decent.  I had sushi from them recently and it's alright.  Same price as Marsh or Kroger for similar quantity but better quality overall, plus you get the miso soup!

After a quick look over the menu (hibachi tables, a sushi bar, and various udon dishes) we opted for the hibachi experience. We had shrimp, scallops, and chicken. It was OK, not great. The chef dropped some blobs of cold garlic on everything at the end of cooking and then didn't mix it, so it was pockets of minced garlic in there. Surprise!

Also ordered a spicy scallop roll just to see what that was about. The scallops were so cold...maybe just a tab above freezing... a hint of ice crystals. Eh. Not a show stopper, but not great.

The food here.... well, there's no love, no passion. Just bored staff going through the motions it seems like. Several very nice fish tanks!

Mediocre hibachi lunch for three, and 3 cokes, $50+ with tip. Yikes!

I ate at Asuka today for the first time and I wasn't really that impressed. I didn't try the habachi, only the sushi. We got the regular roll combo and while the portion of the sushi was pretty good, the quality of the fish was just okay. The california roll had sesame seeds on the outside which ruined them for me. The rice underneath the nigiri kept falling apart so it made the sushi hard to eat. Some of the fish was too dry to eat. It would be better to pay slightly more at Ami or Sushi Bar and get getter sushi then settle for Asuka.
