I've had my fair share of Sushi in Utah. Granted, some sushi restaurants are better than others, but I've never really walked away from a sushi restaurant completely disappointed. Actually, now that I mention it, I've rarely walk away from any restaurant disappointed. My trip to Asuka, however, was... well... crappy. There was nobody waiting to greet or seat me upon arrival. My table was sticky. My glass was dirty. I was worried to say the least. I opted to go with the all you can eat sushi dinner for like $18.  The sushi (nearly every roll) was anything but satisfying. The rolls were bland, ......

Rooster is a fantastic location for a  date. The white walls contrasted with the dark wood floors, furniture and paneling  coupled with the always-awesome music create an intimate lunch or dinner. Personally, I've tried the pork, shrimp and beef dumplings as well as the Butter Corn Ramen and the Thai Basil Rice . The dumplings are all great, but I think I......

From the outside looking in, Grove Market and Deli looks like your typical mom and pop corner store. Well, unless it's lunch time that is... Once noon rolls around, anyone who's in the mood to chow down on a sandwich made from their childhood dreams lines up at Grove's. Why? Because Grove's doesn't think twice about stacking the meat high and using a full loaf (yes, a full loaf) of French bread to placate the fat kid within all of us. I recommend the turkey avocado with all the fixins. I describe it to newbies as "a good kick in the mouth," meaning if kicks in the mouth were good, you'd want o......

It's simple, yet diverse. It's traditional, versatile and absolutely delicious.  A sandwich can be made to accommodate any occasion or mood. Now, you may doubt what I'm about to say. You very well may laugh at this post and never come back again. Ever.  I'm willing to back up my claim though. I just had the best. Sandwich. Ever. No joke.

American Fork has a secret. It's called Flour Girls and Dough Boys (on 35 N. Barratt Ave. right next to the movie theater). You feel all special now that you're in on the secret, don't you? Well, I aim to please... keep reading, it just gets better. I promise. I've been to Flour Girls and Dough Boys twice now. Both times I got the Tomato Basil soup with something else. I don't quite remember what. Why, you ask? Well, let me tell you. I was raised on tomato soup. I had it very regularly as a child, often times accompanied with a tuna and cheese sandwich. Sometimes it was tomato and rice soup.........

Asuka
Posted by Admin on uncategorized

I’ve had my fair share of Sushi in Utah. Granted, some sushi restaurants are better than others, but I’ve never really walked away from a sushi restaurant completely disappointed. Actually, now that I mention it, I’ve rarely walk away from any restaurant disappointed.

My trip to Asuka, however, was… well… crappy.

There was nobody waiting to greet or seat me upon arrival.

My table was sticky.

My glass was dirty.

I was worried to say the least.

I opted to go with the all you can eat sushi dinner for like $18.  The sushi (nearly every roll) was anything but satisfying. The rolls were bland, lukewarm and soggy. The spicy mayo that topped many of the rolls tasted like a variation of watered down cheese whiz.

To avoid paying full price for the rolls I didn’t like, I had to force them down. I’m not joking. I had to force down sushi! Not cool.

If you’re looking for a good place to eat sushi in Utah, there are quite a few good places. My favorites are Takashi in Salt Lake on Market Street and Shoga, right off of University Parkway was pretty good in Orem.

Asuka also has a Japanese Hibachi grill. I can’t vouch for the quality of that food… I’m assuming if you go to Asuka, that you’re better off with that than a sushi roll.

If you want to review a sushi restaurant in Utah that’s delicious and not Asuka, let me know in the comments!
