    waterfront rolls and fire rolls
    Darren G.

    tried here since I was looking for a sushi place I had yet to try. i will say this the service is rather lukewarm, but friendly enough. i order two special rolls since of the discount they give on the weekdays. The waterfront rolls were good, all the fish was fresh and great value for all the pieces. Fire rolls, now that was something, first i love watching the chef flame torch spicy tuna, never saw that before but awesome. again, fresh tasting and i enjoy here you can watch them make, it feels like a hole in wall sushi place you see overseas and enjoy real favor.

    My husband and I took a drive up to Newburgh on a gorgeous warm November day. We were looking forward to outdoor dining for lunch with a river view. Upon arrival in the area I spotted Akasaka and was excited to enjoy a sushi lunch outdoors which is unusual. Most sushi restaurants don't have enjoyable seating outdoors with a great view to boot! We were offered a wonderful table very socially distanced from the other. Honestly , the other tables could be spread out a little more, they were too close together. The waitress informed us that they do not offer a lunch menu, which we were disappointed about but managed to find something we could enjoy that wasn't expensive for lunch. We started with a large saki and ordered a maki combo and an additional roll. The combo came with miso soup and my husband also ordered an additional soup for himself. The combo gave you a chance to select from classic rolls. Mine included a yellowtail roll, Alaska roll and shrimp tempura roll. Soup was delicious and 2 of the 3 rolls were also quite good. The shrimp tempura roll, usually my favorite, was very disappointed. The shrimp tempura part of the roll was either reheated or overcooked. It ruined the roll, it was dried out and after trying to eat two pieces of the roll I left the rest behind, it was inedible. My husband also agreed. Everything else was good. I would come back but wouldn't order that roll again.

    We stopped here on the way back from our hike. We were a group of 10 and had to call to say we were running late, which the restaurant had no problem with. When we got there, our table was set and ready for us. Two or three people weren't impressed/pleased with what they order, but I loved my food. I have a habit of sticking to the things I like. Staff were great and attentive... the two waitresses checked on us from time to time. Loved the outdoor seating with a view of the water.

    Awesome sushi. Great special rolls. Family owned. Can't ask for more. Great staff, and some if the freshest sushi in the Hudson valley.

The broth alone is a meal in itself, it was delicious!. There's everything in it that you would find, if you went to a Tokyo ramen joint. The ramen noodles are prepared properly. The 7 piece sashimi appetizer is a work of art. The chef has definite knife skills; sashimi is cut perfectly and at the proper angle. The service is impeccable. There's a subdued Japanese decor, tasteful and not over the top. You can dine at the sushi counter or in a booth or table. There's a private parking lot right in front of the establishment. It's worth a trip while in Beacon New York

Asahi was the perfect place equipped and ready to make us happy with exactly what we wanted. From Thai tea to taro, this place serves up the classics plus their very own fruity and fun specials which is what I ended up going for. I couldn't resist their beautiful seasonal purple drink with lemon and pea flower with little surprise bursts of flavor lychee boba. It was delicious, refreshing and so good!! When ordering milk tea, I always do slightly less sweet and less ice. For this one I kept the sweetness as it was and did less ice which I totally should've known not to since it was for sure one of the hottest days and it quickly melted away. I will say, since the boba bursts with lychee sweetness, I could've for sure gone down a bit on the sweetness level. Other than that, it was delish! Love that you can order ahead online or order from their DIY order station. Can't wait to try their bowls next time, everything looked so fresh and refreshing for a nice and hot day!

When I was growing up, restaurants had unique theming and quirks vs. the same pinterest-inspired design tricks that you see today. What looks like an unassuming Japanese style rectangular building on the outside is nothing but inside. You are immediately transported to a (somewhat tacky, in a fun way) Japanese home on the inside with those late 1970s vibes. There are water features, like a small Koi pond, and a waterfall inside, which is full of fake cherry blossom trees and a dimly lit scene, complete with purple Christmas lights. Each nook and cranny is a little different and there are tables and booths set throughout, which are meant to put you in your own little corner of this interesting world of a cartoonish Japanese village. The food can be hit or miss, depending on your order and the delightful cheesiness of the decor matches the menu ... with a lot of classics from the 1980s, including American Chinese/Polynesian inspired appetizers. The eggroll here is the best I've ever had. It's enormous and freshly made. It's not the frozen and fried kind ... you can actually see the soft inner-egg later within its fried shell. It's full of chopped pork and seasoned perfectly. It comes on its own silver warning tray and is more the size of a small burrito than anything you'd pull out of a white cardboard container at a traditional Chinese restaurant. Get the eggroll. The tid bit platter is cool ... retro. The menu states that the crab Rangoon are the original recipe from Trader Vics, where the dish was invented. They are smaller than a traditional crab Rangoon, as we know them, and packed with a much more garlicky taste in their creamy filling. The sliced pork is not the dyed red rubbery strips we are used to ... but actual sliced pork with a nice BBQ taste, even with little sauce used. The fried shrimp was not my favorite, dry and bland. The main courses have a lot going on. Sauces, meat, vegetables. They are pretty big and the sauces seem homemade. The house specialties are unique and prepared thoughtfully, many with exotic flavours or strange combinations you won't find elsewhere. The sushi is also done well ... as if it was a real Japanese sushi chef. The staff is very warm and friendly. From the hostess, who could be a NYC fashion model, and makes an effort to seat each table away from other tables when possible ... to the waiter whom has been there for the decades I've been going there and I don't think I've ever seen him not smiling and laughing in all my trips. They play a mix of music with Martin Denny and Henry Mancini lounge classics being my favourite because it really makes like you feel that you are in a different decade. If you ever wondered what it would be like to dine at a fun place in 1978 ... you won't be disappointed. If you like modern and sterile, steer clear of this place. The Yobo is one of my favorites and I often take the long way, through 287 and 84 back to New England after visiting NY it NJ so I can come here.

    I wanted so badly to love this restaurant but unfortunately our experience was a letdown and here's…read morewhy ... Location: 5 Stars- located conveniently off 84 makes it a easy restaurant for meal while traveling. Standalone building with private parking lot. Decor: 5 Stars- nice Japanese decor, love the heavy wooden doors, the seating area with the bar and stone waterwall. Plenty of seating inside the restaurant with visible sushi bar, semi-private room, etc. Menu: 4 Stars- It has a lot of choices. The restaurant does advertise as Asian - Fusion so they have dishes from Korea, Thailand, Japan, Chinese, etc. Some rolls seem to be nontraditional. For example, a standard rainbow roll is basically California roll with various raw meat on the outside, theirs added cream cheese inside (which we are not a fan of). Service: 4 Stars - we came here on a Friday night and it was busy. We were greeted warmly by the receptionist and put our name down for a table. She told us we can wait at the seating area. The seating area also had a bar with seats, we decided to just eat at the bar instead. The bartender was new but she was so sweet. She couldn't answer some menu questions so had to ask. She did seemed overwhelmed and after we ordered, we waited a while (over 45 minutes) to get our food hence I deducted 1 Star here. Food: 2.5 Stars - This is where problem lies. I love food and I love Fusion, with that said, the fusion I experienced was not great. We ordered a brown sugar boba tea, it came quite delayed and was too sweet and the boba was hard and some boba did not cooked all the way so they were chewy. We also had a sushi dinner which came with miso soup, 8 pieces of roll (California roll), and 8 sushi pieces of chef-selected fish. The miso soup was another "fusion" example: as if clear broth mushroom soup had a baby with miso soup, this would be it... Except it didn't work well. My pallet was confused, the miso was overpowered by the ginger taste of the mushroom soup and it was missing seaweed but replaced with mushroom, tofu, and crutons (why?). I even double checked with the bartender to make sure we got the right "miso" soup and she confirmed. The actual sushi plate was ok, nothing to rave about. We also ordered a chicken pad thai. A standard pad thai is a stir fried rice noodle dish with peanuts, veggies, scrambled eggs. It's seasoned with dry seasoning so the dish itself is not very saucy. But their par thai was. A bit too saucy and tangy for us. It eats like a Chinese stir-fried noodles which typically are more saucy plus they also added shredded pork floss on top of the dish, which is a Chinese thing. Another dish that was nontraditional but not done well. All in all, not sure if we will be returning here as the food was disappointing. But perhaps the chef is Chinese and their Chinese dishes would be better?
