" I recently tried Asuka based on a recommendation from a colleague. Overall, it was delightful! The sushi was fresh, and I really appreciated the authenticity — no Americanized sushi rolls here. Just pure, high-quality nigiri and sashimi. The atmosphere was peaceful and cozy, although it did get a bit busy during peak hours. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. I would highly recommend trying it out! " (*Curated Review*)

Even the rice was perfectly seasoned, making it a joy with each bite. I’ll definitely be going back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
