Asahi Sushi Orem

I love the atmosphere of the restaurant, the staff was very friendly, especially the manager Ian! It is not too large, but standard price for sushi in the area. My favorite was the unagi maki and the Playboy! The Geisha was cool to try, but not expected it to be a cucumber pack! Good food!

Managed to get my husband out of the house for a late night sushi date seemed first the wait for ever long, but once in the food came super fast, the best part everything was fresh... delicious. We split five reels and these two sides. The rolls looked so delicious that we ate them and I forgot to get a picture. The menu has many options when you are on a budget.

This place has incredibly fresh food! You can say they use fresh, non-frozen vegetables in the Japanese coconut curry. That was from this world. The sushi options are amazing, how is the Oldashi Tofu. You have Tamari for the gluten-free amount. Ultra vegan and veggie friendly.

My trip to Asahi, Sushi Bar Restaurant: A friend and I had decided to go to another sushi restaurant, but it was closed on Monday so that we had heard good things about Asahi and since we were already in the mood, went here instead. A lucky case as it was. We were the first girls of the day and when we entered the restaurant, my friend commented on the smell of cleaning products mixed with food/fish, which was unstoppable. You just have to wipe the tables or the bar, but the smell is quickly removed and it was nice to know that they were just sanitary. The waiting staff welcomed us and immediately sat down, offered menus, took our drinks and appetizer order and returned quickly with the drinks. We decided to start with Calamari. You can usually say a good restaurant from the Calamari and it is one of the standard tests we use to evaluate a place. In this case, one could say that the Calamari was of the frozen fast variety. It was very rubbery and not very good. Fortunately, this was one of the only negatives in our meal. We ordered five reels for the main run of our meal. The roles were California, Sweet Yuzu, Roman, Asahi, P2. The Californian roller is another standard test we use, as everyone has a Californian roller, it will not break into sauce, and you get a good feeling of rice quality and freshness. The rice here was okay, just a bit on the dry side for my taste, but don't distract. We both noticed that the crab salad was a bit salty. It was a good start to the meal. My assessment of each role is as follows: California Good, but a little salty. Sweet Yuzu Well, not as sweet as I expected. Roman All right. Asahi Very good signature role, P2 My favourite. The sweet potato flakes give a good texture and taste uniqueness. I would say very well overall. You seem to like Jalapenos more than the average sushi restaurant, but I like this little heat so I enjoyed it. The taste profiles of each role were great. I'll be back at any time. It fits easily into my Top Ten Sushi Spots in Utah. The only loss of points was the salty crab salad and the cheap Calamari. If I were extremely nit picky, I would also notice the very weak fishy aftertaste on Sweet Yuzu. I don't know that most people would taste it, but it was always so easy there, not enough to lose points. Another criticism, the bar was stacked with dishes or equipment. It didn't affect the food, but it wasn't pleasant to the eye and made the restaurant scattered. If you're looking for an excellent sushi experience, I suggest you try Asahi. The sum for the Calamari and five reels came to $70.

Wow! Super impressed with everything here. I had the spicy edamame which is a house special here. Super good. We went with the dynamite, the Vegas, and the Red Dragon. All were phenomenal! The sake maki was smooth and delicious as well! Was super happy with the server Maddy. She was really nice and helpful! The Manager Ian was such a happy guy he made us feel so welcomed! Also as a side note they have really good nearly fresh wasabi at the bar and you should ask for that! Will be coming back to this one!!
