Ordered takeout, arrived in a timely matter. The sushi was a great way to kick off my night, the sashimi was complemented fantastically by the complementary sauces included in the package. The chicken was a bit chewy, however the teriyaki sauce made up for the flavor. The steak was seasoned to perfection and cooked to perfect medium rare. The rice was a bit bland, yet the veggies were a dashing touch. The ambiance of this restaurant is quite nice. Over all 4/5- Tom Kim read more

Asahi is a solid sushi place in the area. The prices are reasonable and the lady at the hostess stand was very friendly. The fish was very fresh and all the rolls were delicious. The Black Jack Roll was good but in my opinion the wasabi Mayo was a bit strong with the spicy Mayo on there as well. But overall great take out meal. Spider roll and Maki combo were phenomenal. The place was busy which is always a good sign and a very short distance from my house. All around good vibes at this spot! read more

Asahi - Black Jack Roll, Maki Platter, and Spider Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Manasquan, New Jersey

The good: The sushi is probably the best you'll find within a 20-30 minute drive. The bad: Nonchalent service, and apparently pricing in flux. We ordered from the menu we were given, and when the check came, every item was 20-ish% more in price than was listed. When we mentioned this, Nonchalent Waitress said that the prices were increased. She said there would be new menus soon. I said, "It's not right, you know?" and Nonchalent just looked at me. Solution: Wait until new menus arrive before raising prices; notify customers beforehand; or hand-write new prices if you can't get it together. I'm tempted to go back b/c the food is so good, but with Nonchalent Waitress's dismissiveness, I don't want to give them my extra 20%. I'm sure their costs are rising - but so are mine. Over to the Allaire Plaza we will go for the next best in the area. read more

Saturday evening 6/4/22 I placed an order with them on Grubhub. I wouldn't consider myself a regular, but I do place a to-go order frequently. How they would know this, is that I always ask for sushi rolls to be cut into 8 pcs. (I like to share with my young niece and her mouth is small, lol) And every single time I order, I always put in instructions to skip the soy sauce, mentioning that I have plenty at home (this also includes my sis's house when I'm ordering from there). When I'm at home, I have my own chopsticks, so I tell them to skip them also. (When at sis's, we need chopsticks.) I'm trying to help small businesses to save on costs. ..... I mean why get this stuff when I already have it? There is also an option to ask for utensils and napkins, which I never, ever ask for. Now, if I add an order of dumplings, I always ask for extra gyoza sauce. I have never, ever, ever been charged for this minor addition, assuming it's because I asked them to leave out the soy sauce? or maybe not, who really knows? So now, back to my to-go order this past Saturday, 6/4/22. I ordered a few rolls and had mentioned to skip the soy sauce, that I had it at home. I asked for chopsticks for 2 people. I also placed an order of dumplings, but I forgot to ask for extra gyoza sauce. I get there to pick it up, with my usual cash tip in my pocket. I ask for the extra gyoza sauce. A young girl with an 'attitude' says to me: "you got 50 cents?"... She wasn't moving until I gave it to her. I gave her a buck, she gave me back 50 cents and THEN went to get the extra sauce. What really irked me is that she comes back with some teeny weeny holder that was less than half full of sauce. (See the pic below, my thumb is there for scale). I then THROW my 50 cents change into the tip jar. With MY attitude, I say: "Here, you go, and btw, I asked that there be NO soy sauce". I will get sushi there again, because it is really, really good, but that 50 cents is gonna cost them a whole lot more because of 'Mz Attitude'. From now on, I'm gonna let them give me all the soy sauce that needs to be with each order. I'm gonna let them give me all the chop sticks that needs to be with each order. I'm gonna also ask for napkins and utensils (an option on the Grubhub site). And, I'm never again leaving a tip for a to-go order. Really, the straw was charging me 50 cents for the size/portion of the gyoza sauce. That's what set me on fire. (see the pic below) read more

The food was terrible, I ordered a chicken dish and got small pieces of battered dry chicken mixed in with battered prawns totally ruined this dish. Good job I'm not allergic to prawns, I won't be ordering from them again. read more

Great food! Service can be better and more detailed on what meal comes with what appetizer (Hibachi) But super tasty and delicious! read more

This is by far the best sushi around. The staff is always cordial and on top of every order. Sushi is always fresh. The hibachi entree has generous portions. I'm giving them 5 stars but would love for them to bring back their old rock shrimp dish without the sauce on it. ( sauce on the side) read more

My family are fans, me not so much. Average sushi. Ordered Take out but dine in is better. Dine in experience I would rate higher than average. Several rolls fell apart. Soy sauce (not food service packets but the one they package in small containers) was an issue for our last order. My wife's lips swelled up, my son's throat was itching as was mine. My wife has mild food allergies and my son has severe (tree nuts). I have no allergies at all. We are here many, many, many times with no issue until last night. We always make them aware of tree nut allergies when ordering. Could be a freak inciden read more

Loved this place!!! It's getting 4 stars bc of the price, $35 for three rolls, Alittle on the pricey side but it was absolute delicious. I probably would buy again (: very convenient and nice to buy to eat by the water read more

Food and service is great at this place. The sushi is fresh and they give nice chunks of salmon or tuna in the roles. The Hibachi fun and delicious and well worth the price. It's never too busy here which is interesting considering the quality of food service is above expectations, but I think it's because they are not directly on Main Street. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for sushi or hibachi. read more

they only serve 'regulars'. Hostess said they are only offering take out. So, I placed a sushi order and left to run an errand. When I returned to pick up my order, to my surprise, diners were seated. She actually said they only seat 'regulars'. And worse, she went to serve them and pointed at bags on the counter indicating that my order was there. I had to find my own order on the counter. Never felt more insulted. I won't be back. read more

Randomly stopped in here one night for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. We started with two house salads ($2!). For our main course, we decided to share 3 special rolls - chorisi's fire roll, P-P beach, and Chesapeake roll. I didn't care too much for the Chesapeake, it was topped with mayo, which it did note in the description however I was expecting 'spicy' mayo. It was just regular mayo - yuck! The Chorisi's fire was my favorite and I would definitely order again. Overall the sushi tasted fresh and the prices were fair. 3 stars! read more

This j sucks. Waited an hour for some grub just for it to be small. We only ate for 5 mins. Never coming back.

!!!Best sushi around town!!! Super fresh everything / awesome combinations / amazing sashimi!!! If you like extraordinary rolls, this is your place; they're all fantastic. I've had just about all of them, but every week they'll add / subtract a couple to keep it fresh. The staff is super attentive and very friendly. Best sashimi in Monmouth County and I've been to red bank Asbury park pier village etc. Must go!!!! read more

Wow! Just wow. My husband and I have been looking for good sushi for the longest time and we came to the beach and wanted to try somewhere local and we were not disappointed. Would drive out here just for the sushi honestly. Fresh and delicious. read more

Do not order from here. Long story short the restaurant cancelled my delivery order after not honoring their own delivery policy online. Upon calling the restaurant for an explanation as to why they cancelled the order, they responded "the driver didn't feel like driving to your location". I live within the radius the restaurant not only delivers but does so free of charge. While expressing my frustration their employee hung up on me. Safe to say I will NEVER give them my business. Unprofessional and un-accommodating service. read more

Got the menu off of beyond menus. Called the place to order and they seemed fine. I started eating my sushi and immediately noticed there was avocado in my sushi. Not only did the roll not list avocado, but it also was not asked for in addition because of an allergy. When I called, the girl argued with me like I asked for avocado. She eventually put her boss on to talk to me and he couldn't speak enough English to resolve this. The same girl got back on the phone and started raising her voice at me and eventually hung up when I pushed back. When I called back to ask for a refund she started in on me again like it was listed. I told her it is not and I wanted a refund. She started yelling at me again so I demanded a full refund and to speak w the manager. She lied and said she was the manager after telling me in the previous phone call that the man I spoke with was the boss. So I asked her if she was the owner and she said yes. So not only does this place lie, but they also messed up my food and then told me that I could not order from there again if I got a refund. Never order from this place ever. UPDATE: This woman legitimately called me back just now and told me to take down my yelp review in order to get my money back. Oh... She also asked me to write a letter. When I told her there is no way I'm writing a letter on their behalf and taking down my review before I get my money back, and will call a lawyer if they keep calling me and making threats, she called me delusional. read more

Asahi - Love boat for 2 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Manasquan, New Jersey

Needed to update. About a year ago we tried again and it was really good! Ordered delivery tonight. Ordered a cpl of rolls. Their sushi rolls are pretty perfect. Rice is light and flavorful. The ratio of ingredients to rice is perfect. They have some really delicious specialty rolls. You cant go wrong! The spicy crab salad is on of my faves. So is the chicken yaki udon meal. We order hibachi sometimes now as well. It is always good, just wasn't in the mood for hibachi today. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 is because I'm not a fan of the habachi shrimp. It tends to be over cooked and rubbery. So get anything else and you will be so happy you did!! Thrilled to see this great place make a turn around! read more

The scene: Asahi Sushi, Manasquan, NJ. 7:30 PM. The players. Me and my pal Anna; Pam and John; The Waitress Anna and I are seated. The waitress approaches. W: Herro!* May I take your order? Anna: We're going to order appetizers for now. Our friends [gestures at two empty spots next to us] will come in a little bit. W: Okay! Me: One order meat gyoza; one order spring rolls. Anna: And we'll order the rest when our friends... W [cutting her off]: I know. Me: Ooooo...kay. [15 minutes go by.] W drops off appys, re-appears 15 minutes later. W: Are you waiting for someone? Anna: Um. yeah. Me: ... [fast forward five minutes.] W: Waiting, yes? Anna:... Me: YES. Pam and John arrive; W re-appears to take order. John, Pammy, and Anna order, seemingly without incident. Me: I'll have the Rainbow roll and the...um, do you have Ikura? W: Wha? Me: Ikura. Salmon Roe. W: No, we don't have. Me: Hmmm...[ponders, looking for substitute.] W: We have Salmon Ro'. [points at menu.] Me: No, that's sake, the salmon roll. I want Ikura, salmon RoE. The salmon eggs? But if you don't have them, I'll order something else. W: Yes, yes, we have salmon ro'. Me: ... not sake, right? W: no, no, salmon ro'. Me:...ooo...kay. I'll have the Ikura, then, the salmon RoE. W: Okay! Be right back! Me, to table: I'm worried. Anna: I would be, too. No points if you guess the ending of this charade. Points to anyone who can tell me how I could have possibly made it clearer to the waitress what I wanted. Prices were really fair; food was excellent, but the service...oh, the service... *As an Asian American who still sometimes mixes up my ars and els, I fully reserve the right to spell out exactly what I heard. read more

We love asahi! First of all, who doesn't love a sushi restaurant that is BYOB. Sometimes the quality is not as good when you can bring your own, but not here. We have only had good experiences. The sushi, hibachi, and service is wonderful. if you decide to come, the SUNNY roll is unreal read more

We got take out from here, sushi was very good. The only thing that was disappointing was that I ordered a bunch of different rolls and nothing was labeled so when I got home it was difficult to know who got what. I would come back though, I thought the atmosphere inside was nice and it is byob so that's a huge perk. Prices were ok. $10-$16 for a special roll and around $6 for a regular roll. read more

We fell out of favor with our traditional sushi Resturant and have been here a few times. I would give them a 3.5 if it was an option. Overall, I like it. Although a very dated atmosphere, the service was good and the sushi was above average. We had the Naughty Girl and Chorisos Fire which were the two very good rolls, and the eel avocado was fine. The woman working were very nice as well. It's not a race type place but I'll definitely be back. read more

I hesitated about posting a review because I don't want to give my secret away, but Asahi, hands down, has the best sushi and sashimi in town! Everything, including toro, yellow tail, and tuna, are super fresh and high quality. The appetizers are so delicious, I love the tuna dumpling and the tuna pizza! The Valentine roll and the naruto roll are great too! I have been coming here for over a year regularly, 5 stars all around. The staff is so friendly and the food is always fresh. We've met many friends and family here for dinner, and everyone always leaves happy and impressed! read more

COME THIRSTY: The service was excellent as they excelled in ensuring we never went thirsty. My H2O glass never had the opportunity to see the bottom of the cup as our waitress made sure we were always filled up. I'm an optimist and always look at the glass half full, as does Asahi (except it's always filled to the top). 5/5 stars for service. The food was pretty good too. read more

Went here for dinner last night with friends. The food overall is mediocre. But what really gave this a one star was we had a 30% off coupon for each of the couples and there were six couples who we went with. They would only let us use one of the 30% off coupons for the whole group. If we would have come all separately each one of us would have gotten our own Bill and used a 30% off coupon. But the real kicker was they told us if we didn't like it we could leave instead of accommodating us somehow, very poor customer service with mediocre food. read more
