These guys aren't messing around. Stellar service. Master sushi chefs shout "Arigato!" as each customer leaves. And the sushi itself is outstanding. I'm from the east coast, and while I've occasionally had sushi this good, I can't think of a full sushi experience I've enjoyed so much.
Amazing food service quality. Just one little suggestion: maybe you can give more lights to the dinning room?
Vincent and his team, Chris are incredible. They explained where our food came from and the standards they have behind their process ?❤️❤️
Asuka had very good, attentive service from the start. The food was clean and fresh and also had a very nice, classic Japanese aesthetic. It was great to have "real" Japanese food and not the fusion that is more common these days. (Which can be great itself, just Asuka tends towards traditional.) The prices aren't cheap but the service and presentation are worthy of the asking price.
Asuka is absolutely, rightfully authentic. Freshest uni flown from Japan and served at that one perfect temperature is art, and that is not a dime a dozen in L.A. despite the prolific sushi establishments. Go experience this even just once - you have to have deep pockets but I promise, you won't be disappointed.
This is the best sushi in Los Angeles! And I grew up here.
Food and service was amazing but pricey. Will go back but not that often.
The first time we dined at Asuka, the experience was fantastic. This 2nd time, not so much. We greeted the owner when we first arrived (he was very chatty and energetic our first visit), but this visit, he dismissed our greeting. We were seated in the outdoor patio next to the flowering and fencing, only to be harassed homeless 2x. We ordered the premium kaiseke. The food was excellent, albeit the sashimi and sushi cuts were smaller than prior, but the wait time was unacceptable as the first course took over 1hr to arrive. Owner asked us if we were hungry while we were waiting, but declined to send out a courtesy snack. Lastly, two tables bickering over if the heat lamp should be on or off (guess what, heat impacts EVERYONE in a close setting). The food is worth a try as the chefs are very good and the ingredients top notch. The staffing, service and overall dining experience have much to work on.
We celebrated our 5 year anniversary here and got the omakase mid tier. We were quite full at the end of the meal. The tiramsu at the end tasted like a cheese cake custard - chef' kiss.
We had a really wonderful time! Highly recommend the premium kaiseki
