Asuka

Still OK.. Nothing really gourmet, and nothing really expensive. Uses good ingredients, like broccoli. Sometimes the broccoli still tastes unheated from the fridge it came from. Nonetheless, it's good food. There are many sushi rolls and noodle dishes. There is a hibachi grill for those that like the entertainment. Service is fast, and prices are reasonable. There are many seats; you probably won't have to wait long. The seats aren't sometimes comfy, but they're reliable. There is much parking. It's not exciting, but it's a good and reasonably priced meal with a wide variety of Chinese and Japanese-American standards.

I had never tried hibachi before and I was not disappointed ! I loved the close honey feeling the seating gives you. Our chef was super fun and even threw a broccoli at me that caught in my mouth ! The portion for the price is so worth it. I had enough leftover for dinner the next day. And the Thai tea was phenomenal. I will definitely be back.

Asuka was a pleasant surprise. During my time in Bloomington, I'd never been to a hibachi restaurant. I decided to go with some of my colleagues before they went on vacation. lThe service was great, and I got my food in a fast manner. The food was delicious, and nothing ever beats Habachi Steak with mustard sauce. Additionally, I got double rice. You can never have too many carWhile this restaurant's food was delicious, I do wish that our chef was a little more outgoing like others. Other than that this restaurant was an absolute delight. Overall, Asuka is a great place to gather with a large amount of friends and family.

In my family, there are always disagreements over what we're having for dinner. If we land on 'asian food' now we have thai, chinese, sushi, japanese, all the options - only one place can make everyone happy, and it's Asuka. Yes it's in a strip mall, but once you're inside, you have a great atmosphere and plenty of options. Several hibachi tables if you want to see an onion volcano and fire. Noodle bowl options. Sushi. Really a little bit of everything. The sushi options are plentiful and reasonably priced. When you ask for spicy, they'll check with you before they let you do it, and that's a good idea because if you say 'super hot' they'll make your eyes water. Terrific service, and every dish has been among the best in Bloomington. On my last visit, I opted for the Kung Pao Chicken, extra spicy. My eyes were watering but it was flavorful, spicy and a great portion size. Sushi as an appetizer, also great. Son had hibachi chicken (we didn't set at the hibachi table) and he said it was just what he wanted. Highly recommend.

Been here twice, first experience was so fun! It was my boyfriend and I alone on my birthday and it wasn't busy. The chef was so funny and we had such a great time drinking their sake options. The second experience was okay, we were sat next to a family and the chef wasn't as engaged with us. I guess that's just how it is sometimes though. Hibachi food is great, sushi is just okay. Has tables for hibachi experience and regular restaurant tables. And inside is clean.

I will give credit where credit is due: the sushi was solid.The hibachi however was absolutely trash and an entire waste of money; I regret coming here to eat.In terms of service this was probably one of the worst experiences I've ever had. 1) they added an automatic "suggested" tip (there was no previous notice of this). I was short a dollar and the server came back to chase me down for A DOLLAR. 2) our friend choked on his first bite; threw up and went to hospital. They held our entire group of over 15 people hostage demanding we pay for his plate for over 30 minutes until finally the manager agreed to void the bill (plate was untouched).

Excellent experience! Staff were amazing and polite. Very respectful and deserve 1000 stars if possible. Above and beyond. The environment is beautiful and cultured. The food tasted healthy and great! Thank you and much appreciated :D

I gave it 3-star for the service. Service was prompt in spite of the busy holiday (Christmas Day).We we're excited that we don't have to go at Chinese restaurant this year & we saw a Japanese restaurant open. I ordered a bento combo & quite not impressed. The teriyaki is not marinated it looks like they just pour the sauce to anything. We wanted hot food but it's warm and the spring roll is mushy. The quality and taste of food is below average. Unfortunately, it didn't passed our taste buds.

Where to begin with this review:1. Not greeted upon arrival, and just awkwardly standing there while staff give you looks. Eventually after a minute someone walked over to seat up.2. The server was just plain awful. He didn't really speak to us or have any interest in us. There was a table of females that he kept going over to and spending all his time while treating the rest of the customers like we were a bother. It took 10 minutes before he came back to take our orders. (At this point it's our mistake for having not already walked out)3. The food.... A. We ordered the calamari app. It was the chewiest and most unsavory dish of this type I have had. Like it was just frozen in a bag that they just cook when needed.B. The fried rice is the absolute worst rice I have had in my entire life. My partner guessed the awful taste comes from oyster sauce, which is our best guess to what could the terrible flavor.C. The salt and pepper fish was actually good.D. The beef and scallion was edible, but not the best.End of review. Do not come here if you want good service. Don't order the rice. Some dishes are decent. Others are hit and miss.

I come here every week. This place rocks. The employees are so kind and they always take such great care of me and my friends. The hibachi is awesome, the chefs are hilarious and always bring their game. Highly recommend the hibachi steak with fried rice, it can't be beat. I've also tried the sushi several times and it has always been quite tasty. I will continue to come here for the rest of my tenure in Bloomington and highly suggest this place to any hibachi, sushi, or Chinese food lover!
