Asahi Sushi is an all you can eat sushi spot and is definitely one of my favorite places to go. The quality of the sushi and service is top tier and I always come back to this spot. Some of my favorite sushi hear are bergen roll and asahi sushi which I rate 9/10. Very great appetizers as well such as miso soup, seaweed and kani salad. My favorite spot i always go out of my way to come here. read more

I placed an online order at 6:22 PM and arrived at the restaurant around 6:40 PM. The restaurant was extremely busy, with a long line for dine-in customers. I asked if my takeout order was ready and was told it would be "a few more minutes." After waiting approximately 15 minutes, I checked again and was given the same response. During that time, numerous dine-in customers continued to be seated, and several other customers were also waiting for takeout orders. About 10 minutes later, I asked for another update. The employee attempted to explain the timing on my receipt, but I pointed out that the estimated pickup time had already passed and that I was simply looking for an accurate status update. She went to the kitchen to check and returned with the receipt again, at which point it became clear that my order had not even been started. After waiting nearly an hour from the time I placed my order, I asked for it to be canceled and left. Unfortunately, this is not the first time this has happened when I've ordered takeout from this restaurant. I completely understand that restaurants get busy, especially during peak dinner hours, but if the kitchen cannot keep up with both dine-in and online orders, it would be much better to temporarily disable online ordering until the backlog is under control. Other nearby restaurants, such as Okinami, do exactly that to avoid long waits and frustrated customers. The food has always been decent, but it is simply not worth waiting almost an hour for a takeout order--especially when the order hadn't even been started and I was repeatedly told it would only be "a few more minutes." I would much rather be given an honest estimate upfront than continue waiting without any meaningful update. Better communication and better management of online orders would go a long way toward improving the customer experience. read more

We had a great first meal here. Nice selection of sushi and kitchen items on the menu that came out fresh and fairly quickly. We found the quality to be good, especially for the value of the meal. Loved that it wasn't overloaded with rice, too. Surprised to find out that they've been around for some time yet we haven't tried it until now. Can't wait to make it our go-to AYCE spot! read more

Asahi Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Norwood, New Jersey

Great place most of the time. I wouldn't go here on Friday nights or the weekends. It tends to get really busy past 6-7pm. It's a great place to enjoy great sushi and parking is plenty. Next to a Dunkin so you can get some coffee or donuts afterwards. I love their spicy tuna roll, Alaskan, and yellowtail ! I also order sashimi to put on top of my rolls because I never fully enjoy "specialty rolls". Best time to go would be afternoons, but give it a shot ! read more

Asahi Sushi - 30+ salmon sashimi. Bunch of rolls - Japanese Near Me - Norwood, New Jersey

It's been a couple years since my last review of Asahi and their AYCE experience still impressed me. The price hasn't changed, quality of fish is still good and service was great. I was pleased to find that they didn't give us half slices of sashimi in subsequent rounds after the first offering. All sushi, sashimi and fried foods were good. We tried the chicken wings, calamari and pork gyozas. The seaweed salad and salmon skin salads are also favorites. They only thing I did not like was their hot and sour soup. Sometime tasted very off with it. Assorted ice creams rounded out the meal in the end. It's still BYOB and no credit card fee! I recommended checking it out, but do arrive early on weekends. read more

The food here was great, and the staff was pleasant, though they definitely seemed a bit stressed -- the place was absolutely packed. We had a 7:00 PM reservation on a Friday but didn't get seated until around 8:00. A lot of people were waiting and asking about their orders, even those just picking up takeout. Once we finally sat down, everything we got was delicious, but they forgot four of our rolls. It felt like the team was just overwhelmed that night, so I don't hold it against them, but it did make the experience a little chaotic. Hopefully next time things will run a bit smoother, because the food really was worth it! read more

Asahi Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Norwood, New Jersey

Asahi Sushi in Norwood is a reliably consistent option for freshly-prepared Japanese cuisine in a casual, no-frills atmosphere. Encouraged by several posts on local Facebook groups raving about Asahi Sushi's 'all-you-can-eat' option, I recently visited with a large group (four adults and two children). The service was exceptional -- we were seated right away at one of the large group tables, the staff was very responsive, and a massive amount of food which barely fit on the table arrived surprisingly quickly. Diners can order sushi rolls and sashimi as well as a variety of freshly-made traditional Japanese dishes (teriyaki, tempura, etc.) either à la carte (paying for each item ordered) or on an 'all-you-can-eat' (AYCE) basis ($28 for lunch or dinner on Monday through Thursday; $30 for lunch or dinner on Friday through Sunday and holidays). AYCE includes soup, salad, hot and cold appetizers, sushi, sashimi, tempura, teriyaki, and even ice cream or tempura bananas and oreos (if you have room for it after your meal). Even if you're not in the mood for a heavy meal, I still recommend the AYCE option if you're going to order more than two of the premium sushi rolls (which range from $14 to $15 apiece). There's no limit to the number of orders you can place, but it's best to pace yourself by ordering a few items at a time. We ordered a LOT of food for our group, including several hot and cold appetizers, katsu chicken, sashimi, and special rolls. While the quality and freshness of the ingredients was obvious, the overall experience definitely put an emphasis on quantity over quality. I tried the Kiss of Fire roll (made with tuna, salmon, and yellowtail topped with avocado and spicy mayo) and the Outstanding Roll (made with spicy tuna and avocado topped with pepper tuna). Both were perfectly acceptable, but they felt uninspired and lacked the distinct flavor or 'wow factor' that makes a sushi place a true destination. My meal definitely wasn't bad -- the service was great, our large order was served very quickly, and no one got sick. I'd give it 2.5 stars, rounded up to 3 stars. It's a solid, consistent option if you are in the Norwood area, especially for families or large groups. However, it didn't quite live up to the 'must-visit' hype for me. I'd return for the convenience and value, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. PRO TIP: Bring a bottle of wine or beer from home or stop at 86 & Vine right across Livingston Street to enjoy with your meal. Asahi is a BYOB establishment and does not serve alcohol. read more

I've been to a few AYCE sushi places and I'll def keep coming back to this spot. Service is always quick which is great when your starving cz come on your at an all you can eat for a reason haha it's BYOB which is perfect for those picky drinkers. It's a cozy spot with a bunch of tables which always seem crowded but they flip tables fairly quick. Sushi is always fresh, love the sashimi options! My fav is peppered salmon that's only on the weekend. They have fried wings on the weekend as well but sadly I was there on a weekday and didn't get them this time. Heartbreaking I know lol Highly recommended even without making a reservation? You def won't regret it here! Come hungry! Next time I'll remember to add a pic of the menu read more

We really like this place. The all you can eat Sushi is truly a wonder for a great price. They basically serve the same sushi from your menu, but all you can eat. And everything is truly tasty. The service was very nice. Places overall clean and we like the vibe. We would definitely come back. read more

The service has regressed since we started going there. And they had the nerve to want to charge for another hot sauce when I asked for another. I kindly reminded them that I ordered two entrees for two separate people! Additionally, if I were eating in the restaurant they would just bring more. Ridiculous. Do you or do you not want customers to be satisfied?Choose your battles Asahi Sushi!! Good customer service is sometimes contingent on such a small thing read more

Delicious all you can eat sushi spot. High quality sushi compared to other all you can eat spots. Love coming here! read more

Asahi Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Norwood, New Jersey

I made a yelp account today to leave this review because Asahi sushi is so horrific. As I'm writing this, I'm very disappointed because the food here is actually very good. The unfortunate piece is the getting the food part. The entire experience felt like I was in the Twilight Zone or a prank show, I was half expecting someone to jump out with a camera. The staff seem like they've never, served, cooked, or poured a glass of water before this evening. On a Thursday night at about 6:30 in a half full restaurant, we (2 people) waited 40 minutes for our first order of "all you can eat" sushi. It did not seem like a lack of staff issue either, there were several sushi chef's, kitchen staff, 4+ servers, and a host which seemed more than adequate. Having waited so long for our first order already, and having observing/ overhearing other parties complaining about wait times exceeding 50 minutes between their orders, we asked for another ordering sheet in hopes to avoid such delays. When I asked the waiter for another ordering sheet he looked at me like I asked him for a free meal and I should be institutionalized. He said that he'd give us another one when we "finish our first order" and he couldn't because they are really busy and "there is a 30-45 minute wait" to which we responded that's exactly why we want to order now- he reluctantly gave us a crumpled sheet from his pocket. Mind you the restaurant is only about 65% full at this time. Over the course of our wait I witnessed several customers who hadn't been waited on for 20+ minutes get up and leave, a larger party of ~6 who arrived at a similar time hadn't got their first order by the time our 2nd one came. A group of 4 were practically begging for the check as servers raced back and forth to deliver to go orders to the front. We ended up being there for 2 hours and got 2 orders of sushi- hardly "all you can eat". The worst part of this experience was seeing how many to go orders were flying out of the door. Brown to go bags were constantly being delivered to the front for pickup, while us in-person patrons sat holding up cups to get a water refill like beggars. They obviously are capable of producing sushi, they just prioritize non all you can eat customers. The whole experience seemed like a tactic to reduce the amount of food ordered by all you can eat customers- which if it's an issue then maybe you should not offer all you can eat and stick to a traditionally priced per item menu. I can confidently say this was the first time I've ever left an all you can eat sushi restaurant and not been full and one of the least pleasant dining experiences I've ever had. I can assure you I will never be back to this godforsaken place. If you're interested I'd recommend doing takeout. read more

Pretty solid AYCE sushi spot. Price is lower than most other AYCE spots and they allow you to get sashimi, which is very rare. The sushi quality is decent for AYCE standards. Their hot food menu is slightly limited, but they had some unique options on there that were pretty good. As the case with most AYCE sushi joints, they will mess up your order and not bring out everything you asked for, but that's par for the course at AYCE sushi spots. The one negative about this place is that it could be much cleaner. The floor was pretty dirty and had spills everywhere. Also, if you get seated in the elevated tables, it's uncomfortable since getting in and out is a task. It was also raining that day, so people were bringing rain onto the seating areas. Overall, a good spot for AYCE sushi. read more

Been to this place multiple times and most recently for my birthday. Great atmosphere and nice booths with Japanese low tables. All you can eat sushi and more is a wonderful menu. Will continue to go here with great service and a professional service when they balance a busy diner rush by staying on-top of the food getting to the table. If you love sushi definitely recommend this Ayce sushi restaurant! read more

Asahi sushi is our go to place ! Good food and reasonable price. Sushi lunch is best one to order!

Excellent food. Good service. I've only ever gotten take-out here so I can't speak to the ambience, but it seems very peaceful and nicely laid out. One area I'd like to highlight is the online ordering. It's easy, and works well. There are no shake downs for additional tips, they just hand your food with a nice smile. Five Stars. read more

Great service. Delicious sushi sashimi and cooked food Make a reservation to be sure to get a table. AlsoBYOB.

Just ordered from DoorDash. Yuki Hanna is my go to, but they have no delivery option, so I thought I'd try a new place. The sashimi deluxe was a huge disappointment with paper thin slices. The seaweed salad was just a small dollop over massive chunks of iceberg. The kani salad had even more seaweed salad and very little Krab. I get that everything costs more these days, but I would have paid more for normal portions. One and done. Edited to add, I just read that this restaurant is an all you can eat. Had I known that, I would have never ordered from here. read more

A decent sushi restaurant, beautiful interior, with traditional Japanese style sitting area. They offer "All you can eat", weekdays $21.99, weekends (Fri-Sun) $23.99. Prices are somewhat high for the size of sushi rolls they serve. We ordered the Red Dragon, Empire, and Bergen rolls to go. Our order was ready within 20 minutes. When we opened the boxes at home, was pretty surprised to see the size of rolls. Also, there was no additional sides like soup or salad, which we usually get from sushi places near our home. We liked the red dragon and Bergen rolls, but Empire roll was lil disappointing. The seaweed didn't taste well with rest of the sushi. The three rolls were not enough for two of us to fill up our tummy. TL;DR: Food taste - 3/5 Food prep time - 4/5 Service - 5/5 Price - $$$ Items tried: Red Dragon roll - 5/5 Bergen roll - 4/5 Empire roll - 3/5 read more

Asahi Sushi - Shrimp Tempura Roll, - Japanese Near Me - Norwood, New Jersey

I think the best thing about this place is that it's mostly packed, and you get this neighborhood vibe with their typical customers being families with kids and groups of students from the local high-school. Their sushi is good, I'm by no means a sushi expert, but I visited this restaurant multiple times and never had an issue with the freshness of their sushi. The only thing that takes some time to get used to is the ordering process with marking everything on a piece of paper. read more

Asahi Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Norwood, New Jersey

While I enjoyed the quality of the food, the service was not the best. We ordered dumplings 3 seperate times before finally getting them, via request. We asked for a booth and were told us "no, people have reservations" even though for the duration of our meal (2 hours) the booths were only occupied by walk-ins and were half empty. Finally, we received some interesting comments regarding how much food we ate, we asked for another sheet so we could order more desert, and we were met with "are you sure?" and looks of shock and judgment. Overall, the food and ambience is good, but the service could be better. read more

Just had dinner at Asahi with my daughter. When I started eating, I didn't realize that it was an AYCE place. Once I realized, we did a couple of solid rounds of savory dishes and then a dessert round. Sushi and the sushi/specialty rolls were all tasty. I'm always a fan of tuna based items. Gyoza were quite good, nice and crispy. I enjoyed the chicken katsu and scallion pancake. Yaki tori was a nice selection. The restaurant has a nice interior and a pleasant staff, good energy with a lot of customers. Worth a return. read more

Good, solid neighborhood Japanese restaurant in Norwood. I ordered a party platter and it met my expectations. It's also not super pricey so you get a lot of bang for your bucks.

Out of all the AYCE this place has the best appetizers. The sushi is very good, which I didn't expect it to be. The only issue was that the place is understaffed for a Friday evening, and to get out water refilled we had to wait more than 20 minutes after asking multiple times. It is BYOB which is good, just make sure you bring your own water as well :). I would come back and I would def recommend it. read more
