I've been here a few times and in my opinion it's the picture of average sushi. I suspect the 4.5-star rating it currently garners is due more to its location than actual quality of the sushi; if this place were in downtown SLC stacked up against Naked Fish and Takashi, it wouldn't have the same rating as those places. Don't get me wrong -- it's perfectly decent when you've got the craving for sushi, but that's all it is. People schedule their flights around meals at the best sushi restaurants in the city; this isn't a "go out of your way" place, at least for the sushi. read more

My wife and I have seen this place several times and decided that we'd give it a try tonight and we're really glad we did. We took at seat at the sushi bar and Zane was there to serve us. He gave us several recommendations ranging from the Playboy to the Spider to the Super Dragon. Each roll was absolutely delicious. The fish was fresh and to portions were just perfect. We'll definitely be returning. read more

It's worth the drive up from Provo. The sushi isn't mind blowing, but the fish seems fresh and the price is right. I came during "happy hour," which is 3pm-close Sunday-Thursday, and I had a tuna roll, a Philly roll and cup of miso soup for $11. I'll defiantly be back. read more

Really like their freestyle rolls. Sashimi was fresh and delicious. Well-priced and open on Sunday!

My favorite sushi restaurant in Utah county. And the fact that they have buy one get one 1/2 off makes it that much better. The sushi chefs are really friendly and super talented at their craft! read more

I'm improving them to 5 stars. They have the best atmosphere and sushi in Utah County. I've tried most of them. This is my go to sushi place. You shouldn't be disappointed with the menu and the selection. read more

You can't beat asahi in for fresh Sushi in Utah Valley as far as I can tell.

I give Asahi 5/5 stars based on the context of being a Sushi restaurant in Utah Valley. I would place the sushi quality as far as freshness, presentation, and taste as right on par with Happy Sumo and Shoga, my other two favorite places for Sushi in Utah Valley. My wife and I ordered the seared yellowfin as an appetizer and it was some of the best Tuna Tataki I've ever had! The avocado and tomato were perfectly ripe, and the Tuna was seared perfectly. That followed with equally delicious sushi. The japanese food is what you would expect from a sushi bar: good, but nothing outstanding. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

The Sushi and sake is on par with most great sushi places but what was spectacular here was the desert. The fried carmel cheesecake thing was the best treat i have had in years. It was like a churro stuffed with cheesecake covered in carmel and sprinkled with cinnamon. So glad the waitress suggested it. read more

Nice atmosphere and good service but the Sushi was pretty average. We got the Vegas, playboy, and honeymoon. The rolls were small and a little bland. read more

My favorite sushi restaurant in the area... the sushi is good and the owner is awesome. Try it!

My favorite roll was the honeymoon. I love jalapeños, mango and cilantro. This was a good combo of these. Their other roll were good too. Excellent atmosphere and very clean. read more

Got a few appetizers and a lot of sushi. The service, ambient and food quality was great! It's a darker and calming interior. The play boy and sun dance roll were very tasty. The service was maybe a little slow, but only a little considering it's a nice sit down place. 5 stars! read more

Best sushi in Utah county. Great presentation nice atmosphere.

Favorite local sushi bar. Order the gyoza. You won't regret it... In fact you'll probably wish you'd ordered one only for yourself because sharing gets hard. My favorite rolls are the summer fling and the philly. This place will soon become one of the restaurants you regular. Especially when you find out about the late night sushi specials on the weekend! read more

Best sushi I have had in Utah County. I've never eaten there, but utilize their take out often. Don't buy grocery store sushi! They are fast and cost the same as what you can get at the grocery store, but fresh and delicious. read more

Sushi in UTAH! Yes, pretty much in any big city in U.S. Now. However, I have to give 5 stars to ASAHI - great food, service, and a good atmosphere! Difinitely a place to return to. read more

By far the best sushi I've had in Utah. A great environment and incredible, unique rolls.

I'm from California and I stayed in Provo for a few months and would travel to asahi multiple times a week. This is the best sushi I've ever had and that is understatement since I live next to ocean in Huntington Beach. Great sushi give them a try and my all time favorites: vegas, playboy, Sundance. read more

The sushi has always been very good. I was not a huge fan of the ramen but it wasn't bad. The service is attentive and the prices are very reasonable. Their late night weekend specials are the best. read more

Ezra was our waiter and he seemed very knowledgeable and respectful! He didn't bother us a lot but was still very attentive to us. The sushi was great as always! It was less busy since we came just after 3 in the afternoon and got BOGO half off on the sushi! read more

We go the Shrimp and Tempura appetizer. I give that five stars. Excellent portion size a delicious! We also got four rolls: Vegas, Funky, Playboy and Dynamite. Worst sushi I have had in a long time. The fish on the Dynamite and Playboy looked and tasted old and expired. The Vegas and Funky were ok but pretty tasteless. Too bad. read more

This place is a favorite for my husband and I. Luckily it's up the street from our house! There is never a long wait, the service is always fast and professional and the sushi is right on par with other more popular sushi restaurants. The super dragon is my favorite!! read more

Consistent, and above average sushi for Utah County. Great prices with their buy-one-get-one-half off sushi specials. Good atmosphere, beer friendly, with attractive waitresses :) read more

Dropped in to this place while in town on business and my to buddies and I were not disappointed. Rolls were buy one, get one half off so we each ordered up a couple of rolls and shared all around. The Sweet Jesus and Playboy rolls were my favorites, but everything was fresh and delicious. I would like to see a little more depth in their beer offerings, but overall I would definitely recommend Asahi to anyone. Great eats! read more

I loved the food! It was delicious! At first look the restaurant seems very skeptical but as soon as you walk inside it's very well put together and actually look like a very nice restaurant. It has a great price for being sushi which can be expensive. I was very pleased with the sundance roll I had, I'm a fan of lemon and salmon together. My fiancé got the Mesa roll which was supposed to be spicy but it was not. Which was a downside. I felt that the overall restaurant was very good but I felt that there could have been more to the sushi rolls, they were too small for my liking. My fiancé and I left feeling hungry still and we ordered 3 rolls. We felt there wasn't enough. BUT we liked it. And would go again. read more

Best sushi, best service, best drinks. Quality place if you're looking for good sushi in Orem or Utah county.

The best sushi in Utah county. Love the sashimi plate! Fresh fish. If you like saki the raspberry saki was fantastic! Would recommend to anyone! read more

Hands down one of the best sushi places that we have ate at in Utah. This was the first time that we have ate here but we plan on coming back many times over. Staff was very friendly, the setting is really nice, it's quiet, and the fish was amazingly fresh. It was a little slow getting everything but it also seemed really busy for a week night. We had the poki tuna for an appetizer and it was amazing! The sashimi was amazing as well and we left feeling like we had been very well taken care of. If you are looking for a great place to try out for sushi, this is it. read more

Do not be fooled by sushi reviews if you value fresh fish. This place does not have good fish. My sushi (not generic or fried rolls) was marginal. Some fish was even frozen in the middle. However, the kitchen food and service are good. Clearly, this is a Utah county review and not that of people who know sushi. Sushi - 2 stars, service - 4 stars, kitchen food - 3.5 stars read more

Service is great. Food is delicious. My family was happy with everything they ordered. I ordered the miso glazed salmon. It was fantastic. My son: sukiyaki. He loved it. Daughter: yakisoba. She loved it. Son: donburi (beef). He loved it. Husband: teriyaki beef. He loved it. Bottom line: We will eat here again next time we are in Utah County. read more

Asahi Sushi Bar - Miso glazed salmon - Japanese Near Me - Orem, Utah

Delicious food, fresh sushi, and nice sake selection. Servers were both friendly and attentive!

Wow...talk about a major upgrade. New chef and gone immediately is the 50% off banner and the catfood sushi. Everything that came out, including teriyaki dishes, looked fantastic and everything was also done to near perfection. I mistakenly ordered a fried roll, which, while acceptable, was my mistake. That part still holds over from the last review, which I should probably have checked before coming again. I'm not a fan of those, so no surprise I didn't much care for that, but everything else, particularly the nigiri was spot on. They also have a poke appetizer which is the absolutely one thing that's a must-get, if you go. Décor is still the same as previous but it's fine for what it is. I believe the sushi chef from Fat Fish downtown Salt Lake is the one driving all these changes and if that's the case, this is now an immediate destination spot. I've also heard there is ramen on the menu and while I wasn't looking for and didn't find it, they did the steak so well that I might be challenged to stick to sushi the next time I'm here and make no mistake...there will be a next time. read more

My wife and I came to Asahi a couple weeks ago to try out the sushi. My wife doesn't do seafood, so she got a steak while I bought 7 different rolls of sushi. Her steak was really tender and good. As for the sushi, it was delicious. the Sake is quite strong and tastes a little like a mix of vodka and vinegar, but it went great with the sushi. and if you've never had it before, I suggest getting a small bottle instead of the large. I have to say that my favorite roll is the "heart attack". Wouldn't say it's the best, but it's definitely not ranked with the average and worst. read more

Absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is amazing and the food is ridiculously good. If you want quality sushi this is the place to go! Great deals on Thursday and the late hours are so fun for late hangouts. Classy joint! read more

Asahi is a great place to go if you like sushi! Im usually used to all you can eat sushi places, but we wanted to try this place when we heard about happy hour (Sun-Thur after 3:00 buy one get one half off on sushi rolls). We had 4 rolls and it was more than enough. Ranking the ones we had... 1- Rock Star 2- Play Boy 3- Crispy 4- Vegas But even the Vegas was good! Just lowest on my list :) the atmosphere is great and our waitress was very nice and helpful. We didn't have to wait at all and received our sushi promptly. We went on a Monday night. I would highly recommend you try it for yourself. read more

So yummy! Sunday through Thursday after lunch they do a buy one get one half off on their rolls! The Vegas is super good! Also get the chef freestyle roll! It's $11 and just whatever the chef is feeling! We ordered it and got a salmon cucumber lemon roll and it was heavy on the fish (in a good way) and yummy!! And the miso soup is prime. I'm a fan!! read more

Hand down my favorite sushi in utah county! The rolls are always fresh and well made with a variety of different rolls the can appeal to all. Ask the chef to make a special roll, they are always different, but never disappoint read more

Salmon donburi was amazing. So was the xango dessert. Even the side salad was dressed up--a few mandarin oranges and tomatoes made it taste like Chinese chicken salad (without the chicken or cashews). The steak and asparagus were delightfully flavored but a few bites were a little unchewable. Also, the teriyaki sauce was a little bitter for my taste--tending slightly towards a steak sauce flavor. And since I'm not a sushi fan, i can't report on those. Definitely going back. read more

The salmon donburi and the Xango dessert were excellent. The side salad even had a little something special in it with some mandarin oranges and tomatoes that made it almost taste like a Chinese chicken salad. Only downsides were that the steak had some parts that were somewhat unchewable and the teriyaki sauce (on the salmon) tends more to the bitter side then I like it. The steak was perfectly flavored. Really enjoyed that first bite. (The steak got cold too fast. Wish they could serve it on a warm plate.) read more
