Bad location, great food, thanks to the other reviewers who pointed me to this place.

I had high expectations for this place, but at least for the AYCE the fish isn't the freshest, it's still good but not amazingly fresh. Tokachi in Surrey still is my favorite place for the freshest fish I've ever tasted in BC.

They may just save the freshest fish for their special rolls and not for the AYCE which is fair enough. They have awesome creative rolls but we didn't get a chance to try those, other patrons were ordering off the menu more than going for the AYCE as well.

All prices are reasonable here and they have good daily specials.

I didn't really like the miso soup here, it was too salty and didn't come with mini-cubes of tofu.

The salad's here are beautiful in fact their food presentation for all dishes is a strong point.

There was a few slices of strawberry, matchstick cucumbers, slices of red delicious apple and some greens.

For the AYCE the sunomono is huge and was piled with ample baby shrimp as well as the same garnishes as the green salad. In fact I usually order 2 or more sunomono at AYCE and I could barely finish the one here.

There is a decent selection on their AYCE, if there's something not on there that you might like, suggest it to the server and they may include it, this was a nice point of going to a small restaurant.

The rolls are almost like nigiri here for the AYCE as they are ordered by piece vs by a whole roll and they are overstuffed with rice so don't order too many.

There's no limit on the sashimi and I liked that it's cut smaller but not too small.

The spicy terriyaki chicken was tasty.

My favorite thing here was their tempura, it was delicious and light. They offer a great selection for tempura including zucchinni, red snapper, salmon, shrimp, squid etc. Usually I stay away from fried foods but it was so tasty here.

At around $20 per person for the AYCE it was a good value and as it's a smaller restaurant it was nice to have AYCE in a less busy & relaxed location. Their staff is friendly and they are generous as when we asked for the bill they looked confused and asked if we wanted to order more food.

At the beginning I wasn't very wowed by the food because while the salad and sunomono were beautifully presented their taste wasn't spectacular but average. However overall everything tasted good and by the end of the meal we were satisfied and will definately be returning.

Highly recommended as there is just something unique about this place.

If you are in the area I recommend the SPCA thrift store just up the street from it as well, there are always amazing finds there and there's a resident friendly cat who allows anyone to pet her.

This was my first AYCE outing to Asuka, I've ordered take out before and I've dined in but not AYCE.

I was yet again impressed with the presentation, even though most places don't care much about presentation when patrons come in for all you can eat. This time I took a business client for lunch.... He is a huge sushi fan so I kept on telling him that he'd love the place.

We came in and to my surprise the place was empty, my client remarked that it may be not the best food since there isn't anyonyone there, I told him to hold any comments until food arrives... He commented about the top 40s type tunes that were playing ( and I had to agree it would have been better if the music was a bit more...... Japanese) would make for a more realistic atmosphere..

Food arrives and my client is just speachles about the fantastic presentation - his sunomono looked like one of those perfect looking but fake dishes in advertisments, he was blown away. He tried the food and was very surprised at how fresh and good it tasted.

Bottom line- I got more business from the client AND we've made plans to do this in a couple of weeks again, he pointed out that the place is a diamond in the rough and that he'll be bringing some of his friends there.

So will I!!!!!!!

It's some of the best I ever had!!

My boyfriend and I went to try this place out for lunch as it is only 2 blocks from where he lives. At first I was a bit shocked at how much some of the rolls were compared to other places I've been. When the food came though it all made sense. Not only was there a huge amount of food (8 pieces per roll and thicker rolls than most places), but it was by far the freshest, and most real tasting sushi I have ever had. I also had a yam tempura which was fantastic. The service was good, very polite. The place didn't seem big on trying to look fancy, but there were some nice decorations and it was very bright and cheery. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a good deal on fantastic food.

I finally took a trip & a friend over to 12th St to try Asuka out, it's well-worth the trip from anywhere in the Tri-Cities. I eat alot of sushi, a fair bit of all Japanese and my share of Korean so please trust me when I say this is simply good food.
They have the usual suspects (rolls, nigiri etc); all seemed very fresh and very well-priced. They have some nice combo's listed, as well as some interesting features- I had the 'Red Dragon (or something like that) which was red snapper in a light tempura... delicious. A very gracious older gentleman brought our food to our table, bowing all the way. The staff we met were Korean, and offer some nice spicy flair to the traditional menu items. The gyoza were the best I've had, vegetarian.
Order your meal and enjoy:
Green tea: FREE- brewed & waiting for you
Miso Soup: FREE- same. woot!

Atmosphere- nada really. Clean, sparse, a few tables. Not really a 'date place' but definitely a place to enjoy with people when it's all about the food. Can't wait to bring more friends to this place!

This little place has opened up in one of the worst restaurant locations imaginable - the 700 block of 12th Street in New West. Restaurants around there faster than the seasons. Yet, this place may prove the adage "location, location, location" wrong. Some of the best sushi I've ever had (and that's saying something). Very fresh and innovative. Their house roll is an amazing feat of culinary architecture that I almost didn't want to eat. All the food there is top quality and the man who runs the place is very friendly, though still struggling with conversational English. Well worth the trip into the 'hood'.
