Miso Soup
Gerrie S.

My husband and I took a drive up to Newburgh on a gorgeous warm November day. We were looking forward to outdoor dining for lunch with a river view. Upon arrival in the area I spotted Akasaka and was excited to enjoy a sushi lunch outdoors which is unusual. Most sushi restaurants don't have enjoyable seating outdoors with a great view to boot! We were offered a wonderful table very socially distanced from the other. Honestly , the other tables could be spread out a little more, they were too close together. The waitress informed us that they do not offer a lunch menu, which we were disappointed about but managed to find something we could enjoy that wasn't expensive for lunch. We started with a large saki and ordered a maki combo and an additional roll. The combo came with miso soup and my husband also ordered an additional soup for himself. The combo gave you a chance to select from classic rolls. Mine included a yellowtail roll, Alaska roll and shrimp tempura roll. Soup was delicious and 2 of the 3 rolls were also quite good. The shrimp tempura roll, usually my favorite, was very disappointed. The shrimp tempura part of the roll was either reheated or overcooked. It ruined the roll, it was dried out and after trying to eat two pieces of the roll I left the rest behind, it was inedible. My husband also agreed. Everything else was good. I would come back but wouldn't order that roll again.

We stopped here on the way back from our hike. We were a group of 10 and had to call to say we were running late, which the restaurant had no problem with. When we got there, our table was set and ready for us. Two or three people weren't impressed/pleased with what they order, but I loved my food. I have a habit of sticking to the things I like. Staff were great and attentive... the two waitresses checked on us from time to time. Loved the outdoor seating with a view of the water.

First time here! Phenomenal!…read more Food/Drink: Very tasty, very well cooked, very well plated. Full sushi/sashimi menu. Appetizers, drinks, and deserts. Lunch and dinner specials as well! Sushi: nice fat rolls, did not skimp. Fresh ingredients, plenty of flavor. Dinning Area: Pretty small, open, quiet, clean, low lighting. Prices: Relatively cheap. Sushi special rolls, miso soup, lunch special and can of Pepsi $23! Parking: Plenty of space, shared mall type lot. Bathrooms: Bathrooms were clean and medium in size. Atmosphere: During the weekday lunch rush, pretty empty, but mostly takeout. Staff/Attendants: standard Asian place really good service, extremely nice people! I'll go back because it's actually pretty damn good! 10/10

The broth alone is a meal in itself, it was delicious!. There's everything in it that you would find, if you went to a Tokyo ramen joint. The ramen noodles are prepared properly. The 7 piece sashimi appetizer is a work of art. The chef has definite knife skills; sashimi is cut perfectly and at the proper angle. The service is impeccable. There's a subdued Japanese decor, tasteful and not over the top. You can dine at the sushi counter or in a booth or table. There's a private parking lot right in front of the establishment. It's worth a trip while in Beacon New York

Beacons is a lovely small town with potential to grow as a thriving micro downtown. There's a…read morebrewery (my favorite of all breweries) and plenty of vintage shopping. What it does lack, however, is a standalone boba shop. While Asahi is, first and foremost, a poke restaurant, it does offer a selection of boba teas and slushies. The weather had just turned from dreary cold to summery hot, so I was craving my favorite Asian drink. After some hand-wringing (I couldn't decide which one to get), I finally settled on an iced strawberry tea with milk foam. I wasn't confident in my order, but all my anxieties allayed at first sip. It was delicious! The boba was soft, the strawberry flavors came through strongly without tasting artificial, and the milk foam added a complex layer of creaminess and saltiness that elevated the drink altogether. Even my husband, who's not much of a boba drinker, thought it was great (and kept stealing sips). If you're in Beacon and you're suddenly hit with a hankering for boba, try Asahi.

Great find in Beacon!! Casual setting, reasonably priced and delicious. I'm not the type of person…read morethat likes to order on a screen, so to me, the ordering system is a bit overwhelming as there were a lot of selection and wide range of choices once your dish was selected.... For example, I got the poke bowl with 2 protein but then had to proceed with choosing the rest of the toppings on the screen. It would be a bit easier if there are pictures of each toppings as some items are not so familiar to me. It won't deter me from coming back tho. Friendly staff and quick service. I shall be back and forsee myself getting savvy with their ordering system in no time.

I am 34 years old and have been dining at Yobo since I was born--in fact, my family has been coming…read morehere since long before I was even a thought on this earth! When you walk into Yobo, you are greeted by a large portrait of Ms. Rocky. She used to walk around the dining area to ensure every meal was up to par, and she always entertained us as children. She is missed dearly. The ambiance is always stunning - you are truly transported to a different time. The food is consistently a 10/10. They offer traditional Korean dishes alongside a fantastic fusion of everything else. Their portions are generous and always come out piping hot. For appetizers, I highly recommend the egg rolls and crab rangoon (easily the best in town). For main dishes, the spicy nutty chicken, SiWoo Duck, and any of their steamed buns are incredible--but honestly, you can order anything on the menu and it will be amazing and you will mostly always go home with extras. Seasonal options are available and if the pumpkin soup is on the menu, get it. You will be sorry if you don't. Their drink menu is also extensive, featuring seasonal options that never disappoint. When we want to eat out, this is almost always our go-to spot. We love the owners, the entire staff, and the food always hits the spot. Thank you, Yobo, for years of great experiences.

This is one of those forgotten time warps into the 1970s or 1980s which exists unabashedly changed…read more... a portal into a cooler and more eclectic time. When I was growing up, restaurants had unique theming and quirks vs. the same pinterest-inspired design tricks that you see today. What looks like an unassuming Japanese style rectangular building on the outside is nothing but inside. You are immediately transported to a (somewhat tacky, in a fun way) Japanese home on the inside with those late 1970s vibes. There are water features, like a small Koi pond, and a waterfall inside, which is full of fake cherry blossom trees and a dimly lit scene, complete with purple Christmas lights. Each nook and cranny is a little different and there are tables and booths set throughout, which are meant to put you in your own little corner of this interesting world of a cartoonish Japanese village. The food can be hit or miss, depending on your order and the delightful cheesiness of the decor matches the menu ... with a lot of classics from the 1980s, including American Chinese/Polynesian inspired appetizers. The eggroll here is the best I've ever had. It's enormous and freshly made. It's not the frozen and fried kind ... you can actually see the soft inner-egg later within its fried shell. It's full of chopped pork and seasoned perfectly. It comes on its own silver warning tray and is more the size of a small burrito than anything you'd pull out of a white cardboard container at a traditional Chinese restaurant. Get the eggroll. The tid bit platter is cool ... retro. The menu states that the crab Rangoon are the original recipe from Trader Vics, where the dish was invented. They are smaller than a traditional crab Rangoon, as we know them, and packed with a much more garlicky taste in their creamy filling. The sliced pork is not the dyed red rubbery strips we are used to ... but actual sliced pork with a nice BBQ taste, even with little sauce used. The fried shrimp was not my favorite, dry and bland. The main courses have a lot going on. Sauces, meat, vegetables. They are pretty big and the sauces seem homemade. The house specialties are unique and prepared thoughtfully, many with exotic flavours or strange combinations you won't find elsewhere. The sushi is also done well ... as if it was a real Japanese sushi chef. The staff is very warm and friendly. From the hostess, who could be a NYC fashion model, and makes an effort to seat each table away from other tables when possible ... to the waiter whom has been there for the decades I've been going there and I don't think I've ever seen him not smiling and laughing in all my trips. They play a mix of music with Martin Denny and Henry Mancini lounge classics being my favourite because it really makes like you feel that you are in a different decade. If you ever wondered what it would be like to dine at a fun place in 1978 ... you won't be disappointed. If you like modern and sterile, steer clear of this place. The Yobo is one of my favorites and I often take the long way, through 287 and 84 back to New England after visiting NY it NJ so I can come here.
