The best restaurant service I have ever experienced!!!! Kimberly is very friendly and welcoming. She made sure we had a great time. The menu is small but everything was delicious.
Kimberly was amazing! For a friend and I to both eat. We got appetizers, main course and desert for under 40 in total. The food was amazing. My friend is undecided on if they like Korean food. However, they said that they would happily come back again! Kimberly made us feel like family. Her warm genuine, friendly energy wore off on us. I will deffently make this my go to comfort food.
There isn’t much to add to what other people have said, but we truly had an amazing time at Asahi from the moment we walked in. Kimberly was truly such a gem. She anticipated our needs, like extra kimchi, and made sure we were well taken care of. The food was so good and provided the home cooked experience for my Korean American husband that he doesn’t get as often as he would like. We are excited to return!
I've been meaning to try this place but everytime I get the chance, they're either closed or about to close. Thankfully, we had enough time to spare and decided to finally try this restaurant. I'm not sure if this is still a Karaoke bar since I didn't see any part that makes it one. But today, when we went, I was underwhelmed at the limited menu at first. Eitherway, they had the soondubu jigae I usually order at different Korean restaurants so that was nice. It was not on the menu but Kimberly mentioned that it was also available. My wife and my friend tried the short rib soup that was also mentioned but not on the menu. Overall, we had a GREAT time. Kimberly is an awesome hostess! The food was also really delicious! We are already planning on coming back!!! We felt really spoiled in this restaurant. This really was a hidden gem!To note: my wife was actually feeling down but the food and Kimberly's superb, cheerful service lightened her up. Thank you!
If Asahi had only one item on the menu and it was liver and onions (I hate liver and onions) I would still go and eat there. Ms. Kimberly and her mom are outright the best restaurateurs around. They ask about allergies and will answer any questions about Korean food you might have. They know how to make a customer feel like part of the family!
So delicious! It’s so nice to have authentic Korean food when my mom isn’t around to cook. This place was a great choice for a random date night. The woman running the restaurant is so friendly, and works very hard to please her patrons. Can’t wait to come back ! I wish I took pictures of my food before I inhaled it !
family owned/ run small place. The most authentic Korean food you can get in VA Beach/ Hampton Area. Service is a little slow as the whole place is run by family and good are cooked to order. it is worth the wait.
The first time we visited Virginia Beach together a couple of months ago we tried this little place. We were only there for four nights but we had to go back for a second meal because it was so good! The owner Sunny, is super personable and determined to make you happy which is not difficult for her to do. The food is amazing, super fresh ingredients and perfectly prepared. My favorite is the fish stew in hot pot. My husband has some food allergies and restrictions but she managed to work around that and he also was super happy with his meal. All the condiments are very fresh and all the flavors and everything very authentic.Last week I was in Virginia Beach again with a girlfriend. We went straight there the first night. Sunny was her usual charming warm and welcoming self even though very busy with such a small staff of two including her. If there’s a third person we never saw them. We shared the fish stew and some other items along with the condiments. My friend who also has all kinds of food sensitivities was tremendously impressed. This is the real deal folks! We will be back. (Traveling from Chapel Hill, North Carolina)
Excellent food! I love Korean food and this is gooood. Glad they're open and everyone super friendly. Support local family owned businesses!Maybe call ahead as there been complaints about being shut? Their 1 stars are totally undeserved.
Truly incredible, beautiful food and the best service I've ever had, every single time. This place is a hidden gem and absolutely deserves your support. We love y'all!
