We started out with the Gyoza, it was good and the sauce that came with it was amazing. Then I had the Vegas & Heart Attack Rolls and my fiance had Chicken Donburi both were delicious. The atmosphere was good and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I've eating Sushi in several different US cities and I will say this doesn't match what I had in Seattle. Although it is definitely the best Japanese and especially Sushi restaurant I've eaten at in Utah county. I will definitely be back. Also Sushi Rolls are buy one at regular price get one 50% off after 3PM right now. They are worth the full price, but why not save some money. read more

One of the worst sushi experiences I've ever had. Tried this place for the first time, and will not be returning. The service was terrible & food was terrible. My to-go order was messed up, waited over an hour and a half for the rest of the to-go order to be done. The sushi rice was hard, the scallops were gross & gritty. The rolls hardly had any fish. The price was high for what you get. Such a huge disappointment. Management has a lot of work to fix this place. The servers ignore the people waiting to be seated. The bathroom was super dirty too! Never again. read more

Fish quality is average Utah quality. Not super authentic or anything special, but the Saturday and Tuesday night specials are decent. I recommend the rolls with lemon on top which are pretty refreshing! read more

For the past year I've loved this place! The sushi was delicious and service was fast. However, in recent times, the sushi isn't made like it used to be and the service takes forever. Granted, I usually go at night on the weekends...But still. It used to be a lot quicker. They also hardly give you any avocado in the rolls now (including the California roll...!!!). I took a star off for that. Also, the music a year ago was a lot better. read more

Asahi Sushi Bar - This was my Sundance roll. Crab, salmon, lemon...and that tiny green sliver is avocado. Smh. - Japanese Near Me - Orem, Utah

I only come for chase the server, he's incredible Great sushi though if that's what your looking for, honestly the best i've had in the state and the vibes after 10 for the special menu are always still welcoming. read more

If you crave late night sushi, then you should know about this place. As a small restaurant in a strip mall, you might miss it if you drive too fast, but their deals after 10PM are AWESOME! A regular weekend stop for us. Highlights include $3 tempura and gyoza (decently large portion), and a few awesome rolls at discounted/half price! My staple is miso soup and the Sundance roll. I especially would like to laud the Sundance roll because it's what got my wife to like sushi, so now we eat it more often (big win). The sushi chefs are personable, if you sit at the bar, it's fun to watch them prepare all the rolls! Pros: great sushi for Orem, late night deals Cons: limited parking, often crowded at night. read more

We waited over an hour and a half and they never notified us that our sushi was ready. We tried calling 3 times and now answer. When we drove over ourselves, all we got was a "oh, sorry." They told us we should've looked at the online tracker, but the problem was that it never updated. There was one person in the entire restaurant so there was no excuse. Very upset they didn't take accountability or try to make things right with this hour old sushi. read more

Love this place and love the food! Alan is our favorite. My husband literally couldn't stop eating because it was all so good! read more

I really loved the summer fling roll. Very delicious Amazu sauce on escolar and salmon avocado roll. I also tried Philly and geisha. For my sister they were willing to swap in raw sake for the philly (smoked is more of an Alaska roll). I then ordered to go, requesting a mango and avocado "comfort roll" style, along with philly and Cali, but ended up with a Honeymoom but without mango and just salmon and avocado. Our waitress seemed to be struggling and didn't seem confident about the gluten free options. Big plus for open on Sunday evening in Utah county- I got the happy hour deal buy one get lesser priced at half off. $38 for three special rolls and two comfort rolls. It was just kinda weird to request mango and avocado and then get something totally without mango. Made me a sad customer when I gave these rolls to my friend that stayed home. I think this place has great quality food but I want better service in order to feel that I receive exceptional value for the moderate cost. read more

yelp says they're open on sunday but sadly they are not. otherwise this is a pretty decent spot. not much else in the north orem/lindon area that's worth eating so i end up here somewhat often read more

After not answering their phone to place a to go order, I went in and ordered instead. I waited 30 minutes to see others get seated and served. At 45 minutes I gave up and asked one of the servers for my money back, surprisingly they came out with my order seconds after. I told them I saw orders go out after I've placed mine and they said the bar gets served first, I understood that but I told them it was the other tables. Never going back again. read more

Mmmmm this place is so so so yummy! The fish is so fresh and the ambience is amazing. I got the Crispy roll and the Playboy and OH MY GOSH - best rolls ever. My only qualms were with the bathroom (one seater, not incredibly clean) and the heat - they had that bad boy cranked! I've been there tons of times and they're still my favorite sushi place. They do some amazing deals Friday and Saturday night from 10:30 on. read more

I think they have changed their boss or just the chef has changed. This is a very horrible experience this time I dine here. I will never come back again. Very disappointed. read more

I love that they are open LATE NIGHT! And their selection of sushi is pretty good. The environment is very calm and chic, and the staff are very nice! read more

I could go on and on about how amazing this place is. First off, the service is always A+. Ben and Chase always take such great care of us. The food is out of this world. Carlos and the other Sushi Chef always make the yummiest rolls. If you ever want them to make a random roll for you, they will. They will ask you want kind of fish you like and make something up on the spot. Our whole family said that when Carlos did that for us, it was the best roll they had ever had. They have a lot of awesome appetizer and grill options too if you go there with someone that isn't a huge sushi fan. read more

First time to this sushi place. I went to Yelp for sushi recommendations, and boy it did not disappoint! I happened to go to Asahi on a Wednesday evening and I was pleasantly surprised that they had a special, buy one roll at regular price and get a second roll at half price. What a deal! All of the rolls we ordered were fresh and very good. I will definitely be revisiting this place again, next time I am in town. read more

Love the atmosphere The Fish is so freaking FRESH and Big portion with less rice! Five star or More! My new favorite place! read more

What can I say. It is my most favorite Sushi / Japanese restaurant around here. My wife (also from Japan) always get Ikura Nigiri from them (because it's awesome). They usually have Saba and the Uni nigiri also. My recent favorite there is Hamachi Kama (part of Hamachi with bones that is baked). It's not Sushi but simple Item that reminds me of food in Japan. If you are good at using the chopsticks (and you like fish of course), I challenge you to try this. If you get a bowl of rice and miso soup with that Hamachi Kama, that is a complete meal there. read more

Prawns are amazing and most of the rolls that we've tried were good. Service can be slow and I wish they had an option for ordering rolls to go (their website doesn't offer this), but it's a consistently good experience. read more

This place is amazing, the staff is friendly, the sushi chefs know their craft, the prices are affordable, and the atmosphere is great. They also sell booze which is a plus in Utah county. (Not many restaurants sell booze) Heads up though: It does get very busy on Friday and Saturday night so be smart and get there in time and be patient. It's a college town, and the sushi specials are the main reason the college kids like myself come in and take advantage of. Ask for Shannon, she is a great server. read more

Best sushi. Super fresh and tasty. Good prices and fast service. Entree items are awesome too.

My fave sushi in Orem. Been here more times than i can count and have never had a bad roll!

the Sushi is pretty good, but their entrees leave something to be desired. Their Sundance roll is standout

Asahi sushi was good! Nothing too spectacular. Price and vibes are pretty similar to Happy Sumo at the Riverwoods in Provo. I ordered a Carlos roll that had crisped sweet potatoes on top and I loved that! This place will leave you satisfied and happy but I wasn't totally blown away by the meal. read more

Amazing sushi but I am not sure if they don't know liquor laws or are just trying to force appetizers. They now have the servers saying that food must be on the table before they will bring beers. Not cool. Never a problem before and we always come here for sushi but I guess no longer. read more

Terrible service! My husband and I used to go here all the time. Each time the service and food has gotten worse. We got there and the group that came in after us was seated first. Then the couple seated after us was served before us. We sat there for about 10 minutes without any acknowledgement. When the lady next to us pointed out to the server that we where here first and hadn't been served yet, she said Oh! And we walked out. We won't back. read more

Good shit. I'm not even kidding when I say this, they have the best water! Servers are always so kind. And food comes out quickly. And most importantly, their music is always killer. Literally killer. God bless. read more

This is probably my favorite sushi spot in Utah county! They're also open late!! I even took my husband here (he doesn't even like sushi) and he loved their rolls, and calamari, and edamame, and green tea ice cream... lol needless to say anything you get here is delicious read more

This place used to be good but now it is terrible! Starting with their service....They need to get a hostess to help get everyone seated. People came in after us and we're seated before us. Then the people who were seated after us were served first. We finally got up and left after 10 minutes of being there without even being served water. This was the second time we have had bad service and the previous time we thought the food was just okay. Very bad experience and won't be going back. To bad cause we love sushi and it was close to our house. I am willing to drive a long distance to get better food and service. read more

Great. Sushi. I love that the restaurant is quiet enough to enjoy good food and a nice conversation. The service here never disappoints, either. read more

My husband and I came here for lunch on our anniversary. It's a risk to try a new restaurant on a special occasion, but it was a risk we were willing to take. While the experience didn't ruin our anniversary, it also didn't add to it. First, let me say that the ambience is beautiful. Outside you're in Orem off State Street at noon, inside you're in a beautifully decorated almost high-end-looking restaurant and who knows what time it is. They do have 2 tvs, but the sound isn't up on either so they can be easily ignored. The music they were playing on a Saturday during lunch was a throwback to the '70s which was fun. We even heard Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get it On." Now the food... We ordered the calamari and tempura shrimp and veggies for appetizers. The calamari was battered in an onion ring type of batter--the smooth kind of batter rather than a crunchy kind. The calamari was tender and good, but the batter wasn't our favorite (mainly because it kept reminding us of onion rings). The tempura shrimp and veggies was good. Our basket had sweet potatoes and acorn squash with the shrimp. We got 4 sushi rolls; I believe they were the rockstar, Vegas, Xanax, and red dragon. The sushi was presented beautifully and we were excited. But each roll tasted a little off--maybe bland. I don't know if it was the rice or what because the fish itself tasted great. But we enjoyed Oishii Sushi's (also in Orem) and Red 8's sushi (in Lehi) better. Our server was nice and helpful. The service was prompt. Overall impression wasn't that great, especially for the cheque's total. We might give this place a second chance down the road, but for now we'll stick with Oishii Sushi and Red 8. read more

Absolutely garbage nowadays. Asahi used to be my favorite Sushi bar in town, but in the last year year or so, they have been going down hill pretty bad. Their sushi used to be amazing, until they hired a few white dudes to start making the roles, instead of the old chefs that used did an amazing Job. Today, I placed a to-go order over the phone and got estimated about 35 minutes. I showed up 40min later, and waited in the restaurant for an additional hour. read more

To sum it up, our waitress was great, but it took them over an hour to get our food out. I mean, a turtle could have ran to St George by the time our food was done. It was very frustrating considering we only ordered a few plates of sushi and some water. read more

By far one of the WORST customer service experiences I have ever had. I enjoy going to this particular sushi restaurant and have had good experiences in the past, but I cannot believe how horribly they treated my family and I tonight. We went before 11pm and of course, it was packed, which is understandable for a Saturday evening. We waited for about 20 minutes, which was not a problem because we knew it was busy. Once we were seated, only 2 out of the 4 of us received water because the glasses were currently in the dish washer. Again, not a problem at the time. Our waiter, Casey, came by and wrote our order down and went on his way. An hour passed and we still hadn't received our other 2 glasses of water. We noticed that other people who were in line behind us had received their food and all had glasses of water. We asked a waitress to bring 2 more glasses of water and waited patiently for our food. I'm not even kidding, 30+ more minutes passed, literally over an HOUR AND A HALF before Casey came by with no food in hand. He came up to our table and asked if we were ready to order.... ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! My brother-in-law reminded Casey that he did take our order down OVER AN HOUR ago. It's a busy night, I get that, but Casey did not handle the situation well AT ALL. He goes about it like it was my sister-in-law's fault because she was using the restroom at the time we were ordering (which why would that be an issue?? Her husband ordered her food, and we explained that at the time) and doesn't even apologize for his screw up! We didn't get our food until after 1am, about 2 hours of waiting. The food, which is normally good, was bland and a lot of the avocado and cream cheese were missing from the rolls. Perhaps it wasn't as good because we literally got the last of the fish that has been sitting out all day! When Casey came by with the checks, my husband asked if there is anything that can be done for the terrible and ridiculous wait we went through. Casey offers a measly dish of edamame and simply says, "Just don't tip me." We asked Casey to talk to the manager because SOMETHING had to be done for this poor customer service. When he came back, he tried to avoid our questions and said that there was nothing that could be done and to just not tip him. I seriously doubt he spoke to the manager and I can't believe nothing happened to try and resolve this horrible incident!! I really did enjoy going to Asahi in the past but I will NOT be returning after such unacceptable customer service. I understand people make mistakes, but to not take responsibility and try to fix the mess you made, especially a screw up like my family and I sat through, is completely unacceptable! Asahi, you need to seriously clean up your act and fix this before I decide to spend another cent or another second at your place. read more

The worst service I've ever had, and zero effort to fix it. We arrived at Asahi shortly before 11pm on a Saturday, and were seated within 20 minutes. It was busy because of their happy hour so that was fine. Once seated, two of our party of four received water (the other two were out of luck because they apparently were out of glasses). Our waiter, Casey, asked at the same time if we were ready to order. We had already figured out what we were getting while waiting to be seated so we placed our order and waited. And waited. We started noticing people that came in after us getting their food. Pretty soon everyone in the restaurant had come in after us, and some tables were empty for the night. Still no food. A party of eight behind us received their second round of rolls, including many of the same rolls we ordered. Finally, around 12:30, an HOUR after we ordered, we stopped a waitress not assigned to our table (Casey had never come back) and asked for water for the other half of our party, and we asked about our food. After finding out our server was Casey, she went and talked to him. It was at least fifteen minutes later that Casey came by. He asked if we were ready to order...until we asked if he was kidding, because HE had taken our order an our ago. The restaurant was almost closed. Anyways, twenty or so minutes later, after 1am, we finally got our food. It was typical Asahi...solid sushi, but certainly not worth this service. When he asked if we were ready for checks I asked if there was anything they could do for us since we waited over an hour and watched everyone else in the restaurant come in after us and get served. He said "like some edamame?" Yeah, cause I want some podded soybeans to make up for that. Are you kidding? So I said no, like our meals discounted. He said he would ask, and left the checks. He came back and collected the cards, and hurried away without saying anything about his conversation with the manager. When he brought the cards back I asked what they said, and he quickly responded that they said there was nothing they could do. He said it in a way that made me doubt he ever spoke to the manager. No apologies the entire time, all he said was "you don't have to give me a tip." You think? We used to come here at least every month but the food doesn't make up for this terrible service and we won't be back. We came before 11, only got home at 2, and were there long enough to see the late night risqué commercials on fox sports. Just terrible all around. If you screw customers into waiting an hour and a half, maybe apologize. And definitely don't offer soybeans/edamame to fix it. read more

So I akin myself to a sushi hunter in this great state of Utah. I have tried many many sushi joints and have found some winners and some not so much.. To have an idea of how my sushi scale stacks up.. I rank Takashi as one of my tops for Utah, so I will compare Asahi to that. Asahi may be my favorite sushi restaurant in the state. Their prices are reasonable and the fish is delicious and fresh. They have good variety with their rolls and the flavors are great. They have some great nigiri as well. Last time I was there I got some Uni nigiri and it was delicious. Their tempura vegetables and other appetizers are great as well. If you want to get your chopsticks on some amazingly delicious and reasonably priced sushi, then this is the place for you! read more

We've been frequenting Asahi for about two months now and I feel like another review update is necessary. Their sushi menu is about average and even though the listed rolls are quite fun and unique I got tired of it pretty quickly. Chances are it's gonna happen if you eat here every week like I do. I've found their freestyle by chef Zula is phenomenon. You get plenty of fish per roll and he knows his stuff. Another reason to give Asahi a go is their miso soup. It is absolutely scrumptious and sooo good. You must try it out at least once when you come here. You will forever thank me. Although you can't really go wrong with any roll here, I highly recommend their Sweet Jesus, Spicy Tuna, and last but not least the 'Wet Dreams', chef Zula's signature roll. P.s: If you decide to freestyle, after 3:00 pm sunday - thurs only they have buy one get 2nd half off. If you decide to go for a late night snack, their late night special 10pm - 1 am Fri & Sat only they have amazing deals on a few appetizers and rolls. read more
