An excellent sushi spot in downtown Washougal--not the likeliest of places The ambiance feels like the restaurant before it with a sushi bar added--glad it worked for Asaka. Services was no-nonsense and fine. We had 3 rolls and the jalapeño bomb appetizers, which was like a fried jalapeño popper with spicy tuna. It was so good and spicy! We had the Washougal Roll, the Godzilla Roll and the White Dragon Roll. All were good and fresh and flavorful. I will definitely be back. read more

Food was good and reasonably priced however bathrooms were filthy. Both toilets had excrement on the sides of the bowl and there was toilet paper all over the floor. Makes me wonder if their kitchen is held to a clean standard if they can't keep their bathroom clean. There were boxes of kitchen supplies in the dining area that made the overall ambiance feel sloppy and dirty. The wait staff was nice but on their cell phones. If there's time to lean, there's time to clean and it was evident that cleaning was needed. I wish the best for this business. read more

This was a last-minute decision to stop by here for lunch. We were freezing and even though sushi is not a hot meal the soup and tea were the food is always very fresh. The service is always really good. It's a little bit darker inside than we prefer, but it's always comfortable. I never get a backache in their booth, which is wonderful. The food is reliably delicious read more

Stoped by here to check it out after picking up our son's toddler bed in Washougal - it was a nice lunch date spot. I'm always happy to check out another new Asian restaurant close by us. Waitress was very attentive, I just ordered hot green tea ($2 but free refills) and D and I both ordered the Sushi Lunch special. He got the ahi tuna and albacore tuna nigiri with spicy CA roll, while I got the ahi tuna and unagi nigiri with spicy tuna roll. Food was presented beautifully and tasted better than I expected. My personal note on next time - 1) the spicy rolls had too much spicy sauce over the rolls, will ask them to not put it on next time 2) the ahi tuna fish quality was just ok, will not order it next time. Other than that, looking forward to trying more items on the menu! read more

First off, the ambiance is soothing. Nice relaxing music. Just what we needed after working all week. First time there. We could tell immediately that this was going to be good. The menu jackets are more high end. But the prices inside were surprisingly reasonable. Our service was excellent. We ordered a hand roll to start. Fabulous. Then we ordered a dragon roll & a white dragon roll. The presentation was beautiful. Love their dishes. The rolls were at a perfect temperature. Melted like butter in your mouth. Delectable. We will be back & will be regulars. Worth the drive from The Gorge. read more

Excellent food. Surprisingly affordable. Quiet atmosphere at least when we were there. Portions a good. We ended up taking some home. Don't miss the miso soup. Squid salad is high quality. Washougal's little secret! read more

We were excited to try a new sushi place, and although there are plenty in Vancouver, Washougal was lacking. Sadly, the experience was not as good as it could be. First, the good--sushi was fresh and well presented. Rolls were beautiful, and the nigiri (we had salmon belly) was melty and delicious. The sweet shrimp was also very good. The calamari, however, seemed off. My wife swore it was from frozen, and it was quite greasy, leaving a small puddle of oil on the plate. Overall the food was on par with others, but not a standout. Now, the not so good--cardboard boxes adorn the restaurant. It's a bit off-putting. The carpet appears dirty, and the first table we were at was sticky....so we moved to another. The layout is strange, with the bar taking up the center in a cantilevered manner. Booths are situated in the back and some tables are pressed up against the windows. The staff was hustling and therefore looked out of control at times. I'm thinking they need a bit more experience in the customere interaction area area as well as they seemed nervous and uncomfortable. Perhaps it's just new business jitters. Will come back again as over time they may take the feedback and make the necessary improvements. Time will tell. I always give new places the benefit of the doubt and make a second visit. read more

This place was a little hard to find. It's in a larger building and you need to walk up a flight of stairs to get to it. We went on a Friday around 5pm. It was pretty dead when we walked in so I was worried their food wasn't going to be good but I was wrong! Service was great and the sushi was amazing. Typically all rolls end up tasting the same to me but here, each roll had their individual flavors. The calamari appetizer was also good. I would return and definitely recommend it. read more

Service was attentive, hence the 1 star. Based on others' reviews, I was not confidence to order sushi here. Sadly, the kitchen items were even worse. We ordered ten don and tonkotsu ramen with chasu. Noodles were undercooked. The chashu was tough, chewy and unedible. The whole bowl screamed prepackaged. The tempura did not use traditional Japanese tempura batter. It was a disappointed dining experience. read more

The sushi quality was at best a 6.5/10 and the amount of time we were waiting for literally anything, was ridiculous. For 2 Cali rolls & 2 pieces of Nigiri, it took over 45 mins... and the restaurant had about 8 people in it. We ordered another roll and something to go and it was another 1hr wait for that food. I almost wanted to leave at this point. The staff didn't even acknowledge how slow it took for food to come out.. Veryyyyy disappointed. I went to go take my 8 year old outside and start my car... because we were there for over two hours waiting and he couldn't stand it any longer. I sent my older kid back to grab our to go food. My son walked up to hear the waitresses talking badly about us because we needed to leave... ridiculous!! read more

Food was amazing. Service was bad, the server had an attitude and didn't bother checking in on us ever. The time from when we ordered to when we got our food was crazy long. I would've put a 5 star if the service and wait time wasn't what it was because again, sushi was great. read more

I've been here several times and absolutely love the place. Great vibes, nice ppl and the food is amazing. I just stopped by for lunch and had their lunch special for 15.00.. if you're in the area stop by! read more

FRESH!! Very fresh-tasting, chilled, generous slices of sashimi, and I want more! Placed them next to the nigiri for size reference. Sashimi Trio: Thick slices of salmon, ahi, and hamachi.

Only one other table busy and took them an hour to make a simple order for 2 people. Pretty ridiculous

It was crowded on Friday night which is expected. The wait wasn't too bad for us because we came early for dinner. They seated us right away but we waited about 20- 25 min for the food. Luckily we have hot sake to enjoy. Food was decent . We desperately need decent ethnic food around this area. We'll be back! read more

Not bad for a sushi restaurant in this area. The food seemed to be of good quality and they actually used less rice in making our food - big plus for them. The servings are big, which is what we (Americans) have come to expect, so be warned and don't let your eyes get bigger than your stomach. I've heard that Asaka is a new restaurant, so once they get their feet wet, I sure things will run a bit smoother. We'll be coming back. I give them an A+ for effort. read more

My husband and I love sushi and this place did the trick for us. The amount of food you get is crazy. But I don't give it a 5 star review due to the price. It's a little over priced considering it's not top tier sushi. Now with that said the price was not to much considering we got a LARGE amount of sushi for what we paid. They were quick and easy to work with. 100% will be going back! read more

This place has a serious ethics problem. First, this is how their tonkotsu ramen looks. The broth tasted like an instant soup, noodles were flat, and there was no egg. The worst part was they put cheap pork ham and CLAIMED it was Chashu. This not just about the quality, but about deceiving customers. Customers are not dumb. They will all find out soon. read more

Great sushi, quick and friendly service. Location is easy to find. I will definitely go there again. Thank you.

My wife and I ate there last night. Because of the rain and snow there were few patrons. They first brought large glasses of water and we ordered a large hot sake and two cups of green tea. We had seaweed salad and cucumber salad and both were delicious. The cucumbers were crisp and the dressing light. The seaweed salad flavor was savory and not sickly sweet as at many places. For sushi rolls, we had the Washougal and the Spicy California and they were both outstanding. There was enough that we brought home 2 bites of each roll! Our server, Alvin, was helpful and friendly and we plan to return. It was the best sushi we have had in the Vancouver/Camus/Washougal area and the restaurant is in a new building across from the post office and the environment is new, clean and very nice. For people that do not like sushi or sashimi, there are teriyaki, noodles, and bento options on the menu. read more

So excited to try this new place and it didn't disappoint! Fresh fish, great service and good prices. We had the salmon box roll, Mt Hood roll and chicken Yakisoba, all were great. Was especially impressed with the noodles. Only slight miss was the cucumber salad as it was pretty tasteless. We definitely will be back and can't wait to try different rolls and the ramen too! read more

It was a nice remodel from what it used to be, we sat at a spacious booth with a huge table. It was fairly quiet about an hour before closing, service was great. Our waitress was really sweet and attentive. Food was delicious, fast, and affordable. I got the bento box with two entrees and it was a lot of food for $18! I had plenty to take home for leftovers and everything about it was so tasty. Everyone deeply enjoyed their food. Definitely coming here again. read more

Finally an amazing sushi place in washougal. The service was amazing . I drink a lot of water and I never ran out. They were quick and very helpful in making choices! The food!

I lived in Japan for seven years and really miss some of my favorite dishes like Katsudon. So was excited when I read this new Japanese place opened. Unfortunately it was not very authentic all around. Staff and music played was Chinese. No problem as long as food was Japanese but my katsudon was not that. They had it ready 3 mins after we ordered so I feel they just reheated it. They just poured katsu sauce over the meat and put scrambled egg with rice and added cabbage randomnly. That is NOT katsudon. Katsudon is a Japanese pork cutlet rice bowl made with tonkatsu, eggs, and sautéed onions simmered in a sweet and savory sauce not yaku bbq sauce. I was very disappointed read more

Everything went nearly perfect. A little short on decor but the food more than makes up for it. Good sake and some nice wines by the glass. Complimentary soup and some spicy cucumbers started off the meal. Ordered an appetizer but turned out that was too much food. My entree had 3 different sushi and I took some home for lunch the next day. read more

Not even 1/2 a star. Placed a direct order for delivery at 5:12 pm. Received a text that ETA is 30 min. They called at 6pm to let us know they just finished the order and on the way. 45 min later, still nothing. Who wants raw fish sitting in a car that long? Called to cancel the order. The guy was so rude and told us never to order from the again. Just wow! What a nerve! Don't worry , you'll never have our business again. read more

Sushi was very fresh and nicely presented. P prices seemed very reasonable for the quality

The newest restaurant to Washougal. We've lived here for 17 yrs. Not many restaurants stick, but we hope this one does. The sushi was fabulous. Plenty of pieces, prices a bit higher than other sushi place in the area, but definitely worth it. The only complaint is it said sushi and cocktails. There's no bar, no beer or wine either. This was fine, but maybe not advertise something you aren't. Service was great as well, food came out in appropriate amount of time for how busy they were (Saturday night) read more

Maybe I went on an off night, but I did not have the best experience here. The service was fine, but it felt very disorganized inside--there were boxes everywhere and the vacuum and other cleaning supplies were laying out. I wasn't fond of the sushi (spicy California roll and a dragon roll). The shrimp was undercooked and the salmon had the oddest texture, so we ended up picking the rolls apart and eating the parts we liked. The gyoza was great. read more

Oh my goodness a wonderful sushi place in Washougal. Absolutely fabulous. Big portions, large variety of fish on the sashimi platter, and ridiculously low prices, considering what we've been paying for the last two or three years. Good service, clean nice atmosphere. Hopefully they get a lot of business and can stay in business in a bit of a backwater like Washougal. Highly Recommended.. Open seven days a week and they do have their liquor license now and have sake and beer. read more

Asaka Sushi - Sashimi platter - Sushi Bars Near Me - Washougal, Washington

Excellent food and excellent service. The jalapeño bomb was a fun fusion of flavors. Sushi was yummy.

This is the 3rd restaurant that has been in this location since we moved to the area 2016, Washougal is not (yet) a go-to town for dining out. We saw this place opened from a friend's facebook post, didn't realize it was only 3 days ago! What the heck, we decided to give it a try. Started with a calamari appetizer which was generous and crispy tempura without heavy oil residual. The we got the deluxe combo sashimi and combo sushi platters with many fresh varieties and again generous portions. The fish quality was very good, not Japan level (we lived there, so we were spoiled) , but better than most sushi places in the area. The prices were quite reasonable as well. The 4 of us were pretty full on those two combos but ordered a spider roll and a couple of other items to see how they were. Everything was very good, and I wanted to try other special rolls they had, but was too full. Service was friendly and attentive, and although the sushi chefs (Itamae) were new, they were competent, even with the restaurant filling up they worked fast. All in all, I had a better experience than I would have expected from a newly opened restaurant. We will definitely be back, as they get more experienced we can see if they can reach 5 stars. read more
