Beacons is a lovely small town with potential to grow as a thriving micro downtown. There's a brewery (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. read more

Asahi Poke & Tea was a solid stop. Everything tasted fresh, the ingredients were good quality, and there was a nice variety to choose from. The place was clean and the service was friendly and efficient. Overall, a good experience and definitely somewhere I'd return when I'm in the mood for poke or sushi. Nothing completely blew me away, but everything was well prepared and enjoyable. 4/5 -- fresh, friendly, and worth another visit. read more

Great find in Beacon!! Casual setting, reasonably priced and delicious. I'm not the type of person that 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. read more

It was one the of the hottest days of the summer and after going on a little adventure to Bannerman's Island, we needed a little pick me up called boba tea. Asahi was the perfect place equipped and ready to make us happy with exactly what we wanted. From Thai tea to taro, this place serves up the classics plus their very own fruity and fun specials which is what I ended up going for. I couldn't resist their beautiful seasonal purple drink with lemon and pea flower with little surprise bursts of flavor lychee boba. It was delicious, refreshing and so good!! When ordering milk tea, I always do slightly less sweet and less ice. For this one I kept the sweetness as it was and did less ice which I totally should've known not to since it was for sure one of the hottest days and it quickly melted away. I will say, since the boba bursts with lychee sweetness, I could've for sure gone down a bit on the sweetness level. Other than that, it was delish! Love that you can order ahead online or order from their DIY order station. Can't wait to try their bowls next time, everything looked so fresh and refreshing for a nice and hot day! read more

Summertime is a great time for some poke bowls and sushi. I love this place and the people - they are very welcoming. We ordered poke bowls with half white rice and half greens as a base. Added some yummy toppings and sauce on it and the blend was perfect for a summer noon - refreshing for the palate and cool for your belly. Would love to visit again. read more

Stopped at Asahi for a quick lunch while attending a conference in town. Well, the lunch wasn't really quick. I made a mistake ordering a shrimp tempura roll, not realizing that it takes extra time preparing it. Most of my lunch hour I was waiting for my food to come out. When the roll came out, it was fresh but tasted just okay, I was expecting something more flavorful. My colleagues ordered poke bowls that they enjoyed (and received a lot faster!) The boba was delicious. read more

ABSOLUTE BANGER. Location-wise, taste-wise, price-wise, I don't understand why you wouldn't come here. Every other poke spot is miles and i mean MILES away. Why not go to charming Beacon and get yourself a poke bowl for a reasonable price? Especially, if you're around the area or across the river. The beverages are superb and a must try. Love the Galaxy Tea! Everyone in there are also super nice. Appreciate this spot, very much. Definitely a poke & tea spot, 1st. check it out read more

Food was very fresh and good boba was very good this is for sure a new lunch spot for me read more

I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the best poke bowl I've ever had. Most poke bowls look fancy and hit it all right but are so flavorless. This place hits the bowl with delectable sauces. Also unlimited toppings that don't cost extra. I got three proteins of spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and yellowtail and all were so fresh. I loved every bite here. $17 read more

Love it, come here all the time. Fresh and tasty and they are very nice. So far have not had a bad experience. I usually get a cooked salmon poke bowl with a bunch of stuff on top and the house poke sauce. read more

Well the staff was very friendly and offered menu items even let me sample the honey wasabi sauce to see if I wanted it in pokey bowl. Also staff was very organized and made sure to repeat my order to ensure it was correct. The blue crab fantastic roll was just that fantastic and packed with blue crab and plenty of eel which rare since usually you get a small amount in rolls. Overall the roll was worth it and definitely flavorful from spicy sauce and BBQ eel. As for the pokey bowl, that's awesome you get as many toppings as you like, I paid extra to get shrimp and spicy tuna, but with crab salad topping I essentially got three proteins. As much as I did like honey wasabi sauce it does get too much and my sinuses let me know. The ponzu jalapeño sauce I could not taste or notice buried. Still this place is only place with customizable poke bowls, gets points in my book, since you can get a different bowl and new experience every time, rather than boring pre selected. Also good this place has a self order kiosk if you want customize your order on the fly. Here is more of a to go place vibe, even though there is sitting here, it's alright nothing fancy. read more

This afternoon, my friend had a variety of their sushi, which he said was the freshest he's ever tasted. I had a Large Jasmine Milk Tea with no sugar (I didn't miss it!), extra Boba (Honey/Crystal) and Regular Ice. Also, I had a Poke (pronounced "po-kay") Bowl with Brown Rice, cooked Tofu, Salmon and Shrimp. Also, I had toppings: cucumber, edamame, green onion, Sweet Corn, Red Onion, Grape Tomatoes, Broccoli, Mango and Avocado. Also, I had the Non-Spicy House Poke Sauce, along with a garnish oc Cashew Nuts. We had our meals at the table and enjoyed the ambience of the immaculate, clean restaurant. The accessible unisex bathroom was immaculate. I loved the lighting and decorations in the restaurant, too. We'll be back! read more

Sauces are soooo sweet. Just get a bowl and add soy sauce. Good portion size and not horribly overpriced.

So good I had it two days in a row! I had the poke bowl that I customized a little different both days, both times it was fresh and delicious! I could barely finish it both days they give you so much food! This will definitely become a regular spot for me! read more

Fresh food, friendly staff. I got a salmon poke bowl. So delicious. Great prices. I definitely will be back.

This is the best poke place I've had and I live in New York City. The fish is soooooo fresh as are the rest of the ingredients. Huge portions. I've had both their sushi and poke bowls. Also, their iced tea juice things with the lychee bubbles and mixed fruit??? Fire. Go here. The employees are also incredibly nice and bathrooms are super clean. read more

Made my own poke bowl! This place is fantastic and a great addition to Beacon. I ordered the two protein bowl which were the spicy tuna and spicy salmon which were incredibly good. The fruit in my bowl was fresh and sweet too. I wish I had taken a photo but definitely recommend checking them out. The service was quick even though it was busy. There is limited seating if you are looking to sit. read more
