One of the worst sushi restaurants in the triangle.
by mparka
This place looks fancy and nice but the food is just a joke. Their fish is smelly and the yellowtail sashimi had almost a green color...that means it's not even good for cooking!! Are you serious? The rolls are made like they don't care and the service...wow...a complete package of bad sushi restaurant.
- Pros: The interior is nicely decorated
- Cons: everything else... the green/brown yellowtail
Kitchen really messed up, but it was ok the next day.

Took a coworker here on 1/7/09 and was pleasantly surprised to see the 2for1 roll prices. I've been here many times for lunch as their food is always good - if a little pricey. Note that the pricing is much better now. Staff is ALWAYS very nice and very friendly, but sometime not working on all cylinders. Wrong order delivered, delayed, etc.
However, service delays were BAD yesterday. Was seated promptly, and our drink & miso soup order was taken quickly, but it took almost ten minutes to get the drinks and the soup (which was only lukewarm). We placed our order when the drinks & miso came and twenty minutes later we had to call the waiter over to see why so long for four rolls. The table next to us was seated b4 us and had already finished their meal. He said the cooks had lost our order sheet. Yowtch! They gave us free salads while we waited another 5 minutes for the four rolls - which were very good.
Food is great, better priced, staff is friendly - but service times are are iffy. Taking another friend back there today for lunch - just because I trust that the fish is fresh and the rolls are tasty.
Wish us luck.
New information:
Resubmitted review two days later, adding a star. Service delivery problems were fixed when I went back the next day for another lunch. However, it didn't hurt that I had the same waiter.
- Pros: food, staff
- Cons: service delays
Disregard the reviews below
by KalGStone
Please disregard the pretentious comments below. Asuka is regarded as a hidden treasure of sorts; a great sushi place tucked away between Morrisville and Cary. It is far and away the best sushi / Japanese restaurant in the Triangle. To say that they should have no overhead costs because they're in Morrisville and not DC is arrogant and ignorant. The prices are fair considering the high quality of the food and fantastic service. For the previous reviewer to say that they "felt taken advantage of" sounds like a toddler throwing a tantrum, and to leave the restaurant after seeing the menu is, well, just plain rude. I highly recommend sushi lovers make the trip to check out all that Asuka has to offer.
