The first time I went in the place looked very nice and minimal though it was empty. Which probably means they get more busy during the night time. I ordered their gyoza as an appetizer and their Funky Sushi Roll. The gyoza was good being hot and juicy. As for the funky roll it was nice though I must say that it had way too much batter on it that I couldn't taste the fish itself. It was also very hefty and big that I have to bite it in half. Even though the service and waitress were fast and humble the food really wasn't. I would say the sushi experience was quite average compared to the other sushi places I've been to. read more

Asahi Sushi Bar - Funky Roll (Tuna, Eel, and Scallops) deep fried and topped with eel sauce. - Japanese Near Me - Orem, Utah

Always have those amazing deals late night weekends! Sushi is great and the service is amazing!

amazing food and staff. Highly recommend if you want to support local businesses at an affordable price!

Always 5 stars from me! Can't go wrong with the lemon salmon combo of the Sunset, the low carb lightweight feeling of the Geisha, and the spicy decadent crunch of the Paris. Haven't tried any of the entrees but maybe if I can't have sushi one day read more

Ben is the best sushi chef and is extremely fast. We sat at the bar and he is the nicest guy ever. Highly recommend to sit at the bar and chat with him. read more

Food was great and the atmosphere was very relaxed. The service was also amazing, absolutely nothing bad to say.

My friend and I wanted to grab sushi together for lunch and Asahi was perfect for us. It's a little more dinner and bar vibes, with a darker dining room than what you would find in a fast casual restaurant, which worked for us because we wanted a quieter space so we could catch up. This also helped it be a little less busy. The food itself was delicious, but I'm not usually too picky with my sushi rolls and will eat most of any roll. I did like that they had a pretty extensive menu though. Definitely excited to go again, I'd love to try the actual lunch special which is a little more affordable or go for dinner sometime. read more

Food was good. I ordered fried ice cream with fresh berries (per menu), only to it without fresh berries. When I brough this up, the waitress went to look at the menu, only to find out that it actually did say that fresh berries were a part of the item. They simply told me that the menu hadn't been updated and did not offer concessions. When I asked for a discount, they gave me $1 off from a $10 item. This was disappointing. For paying $50 for the meal, I expected them to take some responsibility for their mess up. read more

If you're looking for high quality sushi in Utah county, this is THE spot. Rolls are delicious. The gyoza appetizer was insaaaane and we ate them too fast for a photo. The music is upbeat and keeps the vibe fun and light. Service was fast and my water was refilled before I ever needed it! Love this place! read more

Good, quick service for a Friday night! Ordered 3 rolls and 1 sashimi, good fish, but the rice on the sushi was a bit dry/crunchy. Felt a little overpriced at like $15+ a roll. read more

First time at Asahi! The decor is nice, but on a Saturday lunch hour, it was a bit empty. The music was really off - playing loud "club" music (louder than it should be) so it threw me off a bit. The rolls were smaller than normal (compared to what I've had in Utah County) and they were just OK - nothing out of the ordinary. The service was decent, but nothing was memorable enough for me to come back. read more

Came here for lunch on a Saturday with a friend. The restaurant only had one group of two when we arrived at 12:30pm. We were greeted by the waitress who took us to our table and asked for our drink order. I ordered the calamari to start with and two sushi rolls, the Xanax and the heart attack. All of my food came out at the same time so it was kind of disappointing to see that the calamari came out with the sushi and I couldn't enjoy it before my sushi came out. The heart attack roll was not spicy at all. I was disappointed that it wasn't hot and had no kick. It did have a good general flavor overall but I would've ordered to Vegas instead. The Xanax wasn't anything special. It was just okay. It almost has a sour taste to it which I'm not sure where that came from. The sushi rolls were a lot smaller than other places for the price and lower quality. This sushi was okay but there's much better in the valley. read more

My husband and I love going to different sushi places to find our favorite and I think this has won!! We got several rolls to try, all of them had a wonderful balance of flavors and textures. Our server, Soko, was so sweet and attentive. She even asked us about dessert and we got the most amazing molten chocolate cake! The restaurant is clean, calm, and tucked away so it's not too loud or anything. Thank you Asahi! We will be back!! read more

Service was quick, but the food was not super fresh. Fried roll was really heavy. For the quality I would expect it to be more affordable, but the prices were the same as any other sushi restaurant. read more

Pros: - Fish tasted fresh - Good price point Cons: - Sukiyaki not recommended- beef was not marinaded at all (!) and the broth tasted like regular udon broth just sweeter. Sukiyaki broth should be a lot more condensed. - Service was a little off, our server dropped the check without asking if we needed anything else, 40 minutes into us sitting down. They were not busy and they were not closing soon. We had just gotten the last roll we ordered. - Booth upholstery old and dirty I would rate 3 stars if it's not for the quality of the sushi. read more

We tried a whole bunch of apps and rolls, and I've gotta tell you our favs! Gyoza & Wontons were solid and classic. The Poki Tuna was standout though- every bite was a perfect bite of flavorful tuna, mango, and avo! Now, the rolls- they are massive! Asahi has the best Vegas roll we have ever had! It was fried just enough to have a crispy exterior but not enough to cook the salmon. Amazing! Other A + rolls were the Lion King (farthest right of the 3), the Crispy, and the Xanax (the one topped with salmon)! Give us alllll the raw tuna and salmon and we will be happy. Of course we had to finish the meal with Mochi! We can't believe we haven't tried this tasty sushi place before! Asahi has plenty of other entrees that we are dying to come back and try, like the miso ramen and short ribs. read more

Asahi Sushi Bar - Japanese Near Me - Orem, Utah

There aren't many late night sushi restaurants that have such high quality dishes like these. You can really taste the freshness. I got a little of everything--an entrée, a sushi roll, some fresh sashimi, a specialty drink, and a dessert. I can honestly say that they were all fantastic. The steak with the curry was perfectly cooked, the tempura with the ice cream tasted like a churro, and all the fish was fresh. This place has unbelievable lunch specials and they offer their sushi for a discounted price after 10pm. Zero complaints. read more

Our whole group enjoyed our time at Asahi! The ambiance was lively and I will say the space is on the small end so tables are a little close to each other. If you're looking for an intimate setting, it may not be the best option for you unless you request a booth. We called in about 39 minutes before we came in and they seated us immediately which was great. The table ordered yakisoba which was a great large portion for one person- easily shareable. We also ordered the Playboy roll, Sweet Yuzu, Xanax, hamachi yellowtail, and they were all great! We are of course in a landlocked state but we did feel like the fish was good quality! Asahi was recommended to us by friends and we are glad we gave it a shot! read more

Was not expecting such fresh fish in the middle of Orem, Utah! You can't go wrong ordering majority of the rolls off the menu. Most nights they have a couple beer and wine options to choose from. We enjoy coming here on weeknights when it's not too busy. No bars nearby, so this is a good happy hour spot if you live close. Open late on weekends. Smaller location with limited seating. Would not consider this place swanky/fancy for a first date, but awesome place to stop and get some quality sushi. Only complaint is the glasses are always dirty, and never chilled for your beer. read more

Very quiet local place in Orem always has amazing service. The sushi always comes out at the perfect time and every bite feels so fresh.

I came from NYC for a business trip. This restaurant offers excellent foods and the price is unbelievable

I love sushi but this place was just OK for me. We ordered four different rolls which included the Paris, super dragon, crunchy tuna, and green tiger rolls. I thought I had ordered the green tiger roll and that's what I was charged for but that's not what I received. I'm not sure what my fourth roll was. I liked the Paris roll with the mango but the other rolls were just OK. The crunchy tuna roll used imitation crab which in my opinion makes a sushi roll taste cheap and artificial. It looks like they've changed the menu from what other yelper have written about so maybe they're just trying to get used to this new menu. With so many other restaurants I don't think I will come back to this one. read more

I'm sad to say we were not impressed. My sushi loving family felt as though Asahi Sushi Bar was closely comparable to the sushi from your local grocery store. All rolls that were not tempura fried were cold and solid and had the feel and taste of sushi made and sat in the fridge for hours first - it didn't taste made to order. Most rolls have cilantro and there were no substitutions. Two stars for the Vegas roll that was good and the sweet server that was nice. read more

Going on a sushi binge in utah county, check out my other reviews to see which me and my boi likes best. Side note, we are both Japanese and my boi was born ans raised in Japan. So we likeore authentic tastes. Asahi is a smaller restaurant with a modern clean touch. It's on state street, and kinda easy to miss since the restaurant.l cuz ots darkly lit. We ordered the rainbow roll and super dragon. Gotta get that sashimi and eel the rolls in general are okay. The rice is hard and chewy, the texture isn't right. The amount of sashimi is pre good for an American restaurant. Also the rolls are not consistent all the way through. For example one piece will have avocado whilst a piece in thw middle will not. I knocked off a star for that. The super dragon was very savory due to the tempura read more

My wife and I eat Sushi quite often. At least 4 times/ month. We have dine in and take out, and I believe we are conesieurs of sushi. We have been to Asahi at least a dozen times. This time, I could not believe my eyes when my wife brought home the sushi!! We ordered 5 rolls and 2 orders of nigiri. When I looked at the rolls and even the nigiri, it was literally 1/2 the size of normal sushi that we have ordered in hundreds of sushi restaurants in the country! We paid $90.00 for our meal, and we did not even have any leftovers, which normally we have at least a roll leftover!! Their rolls in the past have been generally pretty fresh and tasty. This time, at least one of the rolls was fishy tasting. I called to let them know about my experience, and a young woman answered who could barely speak English. She listened to me, and everything I told her she tried to relay it to her manager/ owner? She told me that she would put the manager on the phone, but now, after waiting on hold for 1 hour and 33 minutes, I am going to hang up and leave this review. Are you kidding me?!! They didn't notice an unhappy customer was on hold for an hour and a half!!! Wow... read more

This place is great! It has quality sushi and appetizers that never disappoint. I come here with friends of mine all the time and we always love it! I think their best appetizer is the tofu!
