" Asuka is a fun place for dinner with family or friends! I was impressed by the quality of the sushi, which was fresh and flavorful. The hibachi experience was entertaining, though I wished the serving staff was a bit quicker on refills. Overall, a great dining experience with hearty portions and a lively atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Asuka for my birthday, and they went all out! The staff sang to me and even created a fun atmosphere with decorations. The sushi rolls were amazing and fresh, and the hibachi chef was interactive. My only complaint was that it felt a bit rushed at times, but overall, it was a wonderful night to celebrate! " (*Curated Review*)

" We chose Asuka for our team lunch, and while the food was generally good, the service fell short that day. We had a hard time getting our server's attention and wait times were longer than expected. The hibachi and sushi were delicious when they arrived, but not the best service experience overall. I would still consider returning for the food quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time dining here, and it was a mixed bag. While the hibachi chef was fun and interactive, I found the food to be somewhat lacking in finesse compared to other Japanese places. The steak was good but nothing exceptional. It felt like the price was slightly high for the quality. However, I enjoyed the lively environment and the friendliness of the staff, so it wasn't a total loss. " (*Curated Review*)

" Asuka is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is vibrant, and I love the open kitchen concept. The chefs are not just cooks; they put on an entertaining show! The miso soup was delightful, and my sushi platter was fresh and delicious. My only complaint would be that after our hibachi meal, I was too full to try more menu items! Can't wait to come back for another round of that fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Asuka provides a decent hibachi experience. While the food was enjoyable, the overall service just didn’t live up to the hype I've heard. I encountered delays and had to prompt my server several times. Regardless, the food itself was fresh and well-cooked, which is why I gave it a fair score. " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend recommended Asuka, and I'm glad I listened! The ambience is friendly and perfect for gatherings. We had a variety of sushi rolls, and they were truly fresh and beautifully presented. It's a bit pricey, but the quality justifies the cost. The only downside was the long wait for our table, but the food made up for that. Definitely a place to celebrate special occasions!
