Reviews Asahi Japanese Restaurant

Asahi is an amalgam of 80's-'00~s NY/NJ Japanese food. everything above average in taste, quality and priced well.

(Taken as a copy paste from my Yelp account) This is one of my favorite spots since I was a child, going with my parents, friends and loved ones. Been coming here on and off for years near 20 + years. My father actually knows the family since they had a restaurant in another location in the early 80's. Owned by a Japanese couple, though they are getting older. Service is friendly and food is definitely on the large portion size. Wife does the seating and serving, husband primarily does the sushi. Sushi, ramen and the set menu's dinner boxes are their strengths. They do follow more of the traditional Japanese style dishes and side dishes which makes them very unique compared to a Korean or Chinese owned Japanese restaurant with their non traditional sushi rolls and dinner combinations. The restaurant needs some updating, but I am willing to forgo the decor since I know a few years back they were actually looking to sell the restaurant which never came to fruition, so this may had some impact on their retirement. However if they can keep the food level at a great standard, I can live with the decor. (I think they last updated the interior back in the mid 90's) Place is large enough for medium size dinner parties. BYOB. A++ Service A++++ Food Give them a try! I know you wont be disappointed.

This is a small Japanese restaurant in an unassuming strip mall that has been in business for quite some time; it definitely has an old decor and feel. However, do not let the atmosphere turn you off because the food never disappoints. Local residents understand that the food easily achieves a solid 8-9 out of 10 with the portions being of a very generous size for the price. It is suggested to arrive there completely hungry or you will not be able to finish the entire dish. There is a large selection of noodle soups and sashimi, but just basic selection for sushi 🍣. The udon and ramin noodle soups are always a good choice and very big for the price. Service is a little on the slow side, but the food is made when you order. When you go in, just seat yourself. Friday and Saturday nights are usually very busy, however, there will always be a seat. Keep in mind that it is usually the owner and a single waiter that take care of the customers; leave extra time, don't rush. This is also BYOB. Pros: Generous portion size, flavorful noodle soups, the price. Cons: service little slow, old school appearance.

This place is legit Japanese cuisine. The exterior in a strip mall is so unassuming but the food here is amazing. You won't find everything covered in spicy mayo (which I love!!) because it's that authentic. They close in the middle of the day, but when my friend came to eat here we didn't get kicked out or anything. We had a great, leisurely meal. Come here if you want the real deal! :)
