Oh my goodness Olympia finally got a sushi spot that serves decent quality fish. I no longer need to drive to Tacoma for sushi! Come here while the slices of sashimi are still thick! read more

Asahi Sushi - 9 nigiri 9 sashimi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Olympia, Washington

This place is pretty good. A bit expensive for the quality, but the presentation was nice. The bento was a lot for I think it was around $20, and it could be shared between two people. The inside is decorated to be more "fine dining" but overall the service was really good. The spicy tuna roll was okay, the scallops didn't really add much, and it lacked flavor. But everything in the chicken katsu bento was good. read more

I tried all of their non-raw rolls and I enjoyed them. Delicious and a beautiful presentation. Pleasant atmosphere. A bit on a pricy side in my opinion, so I really hope they are using very high quality, organic ingredients. read more

My favorite place for sushi. The staff is very friendly. Dining area is clean & updated.

Went for a birthday dinner great food! Had a wonderful peach saki - great atmosphere and service. Good menu selection and they were able to accommodate six people without any issue. read more

Traveled south to Olympia for the day for an appointment. Decided to check out some of the local grub. Happy I chose this sushi joint, and so sad they don't have one in Seattle! I will start by saying that I am a sushi snob. I'm from Hawaii and our supermarket poke bowls are a staple as fresh fish is a norm. This place far exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend! I got the Chutoro sashimi, a set of sake nigiri, and agedashi tofu. The chutoro was delectable and fresh. The taste and texture were perfect. The salmon was nice and buttery, and agedashi tofu hit the spot. Service was awesome as well. I am already planning my next trip to Olympia, and can't wait to eat here again! read more

This place does standard teriyaki dishes and sushi well. I very much enjoyed the bento box, my favorite dish being the vegetable tempura. If that's what you're in the mood for I definitely recommend coming here. The atmosphere is pleasant, seats at tables comfortable and service quick and friendly. I do not rate higher than 3 stars to restaurants that use bulk / store bought sauces which is why Asahi topped out at a 3 for me. read more

Love this restaurant. The food, service and atmosphere are always great. They never disappoint with their service and food. Love the avocado bomb, bento box and sushi always great. This place does not disappoint, go and enjoy. read more

The best sushi I've had in Washington! So so good and extremely fresh. The hurricane is amazing as the roll and so it the tofu appetizer. Highly recommend the nigiri read more

Oh. My. Goodness. Hubby and I decided to check out this restaurant. We had a hankering for some sushi and are fairly new to the area. I saw the outstanding reviews and people are 100% accurate that this place ROCKs! The service was great, the food arrived to our table crazy fast, like 8 minutes tops?!? We had a few specialty rolls including the blue fin tuna (chutoro) and it melted in our mouth, so fresh, so good. We also had a bento box, so much food, had to take some home. Definitely check this place out. It will be our go-to for sushi and teriyaki. We lived in Okinawa for three years and this reminded us of the quality. read more

Great service & delicious sushi. Presentation was really sweet & miso soup was also great!

This was all I could have hoped for in a sushi restaurant.. It is sit and dine, table service, where the sushi chefs roll in the front. Each table has a custom fresh flower arrangement. The sushi choices were plentiful, quality and unique. They serve yummy bubble tea and saki, wine and beer. Complimentary miso soup is also offered. We ordered a unique appetizer- the rice egg roll. It was great, and something I've never seen on a menu before, but perhaps a bit filling for an appetizer. We enjoyed unique rolls like the Waterfall, Caprese and Kiwi Rolls. They even have Banana Rolls, Blueberry Rolls and Strawberry rolls which is fruit on top of a California roll. I would certainly come here again on a future trip to Olympia. The locals are lucky to have such a gem. read more

Awesome food. To the chef working on 06/08/23 who put the small amount of sauce on the bottom of each rice drop on my to-go order - thank you. That was a nice surprise when I thought I had run out of sauce with my salmon and rice and the perfect addition. My only feedback would be that the real crab California roll always has shells in it. Otherwise, 10/10. I just do not order that item. Thank you so much! read more

In general - excellent Restaurant, but as far as the Sushi goes it was just AMAZING. One of the best Sushi's i've ever had! Took the Asahi Roll, Gioza & Egg roll appetizer and some small Mochi for dessert. Well recommended read more

They are handling to COVID-19 crisis the way a business should! Their food choices are very good and they throw in some non-Japanese foods (like a version of General Tso's chicken) for those with more timid palates. The decor is great; the people are invariably helpful - I could go on. But as a physician, I cannot over-state how properly they are handling the important task of preparing food for us in a way that reduces our risks, and their risks, of acquiring coronavirus. They clearly care about it, and are doing it right. They have a place to park to pick up food; they have physical barriers (plexiglass), hand sanitizer, wipes and they do it right (for example, there is a right and a wrong way (and time) to clean one's hands, ATM cards, etc.) After signing on their screen, she directed me to their hand sanitizer to clean my hands, and then immediately cleaned the screen I had just touched. This alone deserves 5 stars but the food earns it too. Go check them out, and if you run another business and you're snooping on your competitors to see what sorts of Yelp reviews they are getting? Go visit and learn a thing or two! read more

This place is great! Friendly and attentive staff! Great food and atmosphere. I would highly recommend this place for some amazing, authentic sushi and more!!! read more

Dined here for the first time, with a group that had chosen this restaurant. Though not a sushi eater myself, there were a number of cooked dishes to choose from, that I greatly enjoyed. The others I. My group all enjoyed their various sushi choices. My only complaint (a personal one) is that the courses arrived rather quickly. In future I'd ask to have my meal paced out more slowly. Having said this, the food was highly enjoyable and the prices very reasonable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant, and street parking after 5pm is quite easy. read more

Very good sushi! Fish is very fresh and perfect temperature. Large variety of specialty rolls if your into that. Very reasonably priced even the wine . Staff is very friendly. Only 4 stars because the decor is lacking and reminds me of an old diner with the seating. Going to the bathroom is a journey. The food is very good. read more

Yum. Got to go cuz all I do is work. I had been craving sushi and Bubble Tea... and this hit the spot! The Capitol roll was so fresh and the Taro Tea was to die for. Must return to explore the rest of the menu. Staff were prompt and food was on time! read more

Amazing little spot! Some of the best sushi we have had since Los Angeles! The executive Chef. mr. Chung really hooked us up with different flavor profiles to execute each fish! Sam and others behind bar were communicative and personable making it a great lunch date experience for my Husband and I. I have already told my friends but everyone should check it out! read more

Such a good spot and so glad my friend and I gave it a try. The presentation was beautiful and the taste was delicious. They had so many options to choose from so you're bound to find a roll that fits your taste. Their house sake was perfect for the cold weather. I highly recommend it. I will say that the spicy sushi wasn't too spicy, like I was expecting, but the flavor was exactly what I was hoping for and made up for it. read more

Asahi Sushi - Spicy and Spicy sushi roll (front) with house sake (hot). - Sushi Bars Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Best sushi in Olympia. Family friendly with positive energy all around. My 5yo daughter asks to eat here often.

This is hands down the best sushi in the area. The woman sushi chef makes a work of art with the rolls without the normal drenching is sauces you find in newer sushi places. The food is great without it and extra sauces are not needed whatsoever... Try the fresh sushi roll with fruit topping, especially the banana, fantastico!!! read more

First things first. Asahi sushi has some of the best wait staff to ever exist. The first time I arrived I was with friends and we didn't have a reservation on a busy night and they still squeezed us in in a table in the back. Their presentation? Beyond wonderful. I've gone there a few times there and each time I bring someone new. The restaurant vibe is so nice feeling too, I love their restaurant so much. If I wasn't a broke college student I would for sure be a regular there. read more

Wonderful service, beautiful place My favorite is the unagi roll! My party has reccomended their teas but i havent had the pleasure of trying them yet. Wonderful place. read more

This is the highest rated sushi restaurant in the Lacey, Olympia area so we decided to try it. Husband said that he had the best rolls in a really long time. He ordered one of the HOT ones (sorry, can't recall the name) as well as the tostada. I asked for a salmon skin cut roll, TWICE, and received a hand roll instead. It was very messy and difficult to eat. I also ordered some maguro nigiri, which was eight dollars, and the pieces were tiny. Salad was very good as well as the miso soup. Will possibly try again. Perhaps a different chef would be more generous with the tuna read more

Didn't even get to take picture of the food before it got devoured. This has been our go-to sushi spot for the past 2 years. Service is great, ambiance is cozy and classy. My husband loves fatty white tuna, mainly the escolar and this place does it the best! My favorite roll is the Albacore Special Roll and the kids love the karaage, gyoza and California rolls. Definite must try if you enjoy good food and quality sushi! read more

I've been to at least a dozen sushi places in the Puget Sound. This was almost instantly boosted to my #1. Crab Racoons, best I've ever had. Mango roll, best I've ever had. Smoked Salmon roll, best I've ever had. Service was fantastic, the restaurant was super clean, great atmosphere. AND they brought mochi ice cream at the end! This is a true 5 star experience. Very impressed! I'll absolutely be back. read more

We brought 15 people (three generations) for Christmas Eve dinner. Great food, enough options to suit everybody. The service was terrific.

This is the perfect place to visit to fulfill a sushi craving, the presentation is beautiful and the taste is fantastic every time I come in, I've tried a few different rolls and different kinds of nigiri always the most perfect portion and the price is just right considering the quality. My only suggestion is more sauce on the Las Vegas roll read more

Asahi Sushi - Bluefin- Chutoro, Otoro, Kamatoro - Sushi Bars Near Me - Olympia, Washington

This is hands down the best sushi restaurant in Olympic...and I know I've gone to SO many! In fact, Asahi is better than any sushi spot I've been to in Tacoma as well. The ingredients are fresh and beyond tasty. Whoever chooses the restaurant's fish has beyond good taste because the sashimi is always so amazingly delicious! Favorite dishes: Salmon bento box No rice roll Sounder's roll Baked scallop roll Medusa roll Also, the 9 piece sashimi appetizer chef's choice is also great with a side of rice! Please support this restaurant and DO NOT complain about the prices because frankly, they could easily charge double in seattle for the quality! read more

Mediocre sushi. Not bad, but not recommendable. Disgusting mess call "orange chicken". It was just chicken scraps in soggy breading. Teriyaki chicken was ok. Low quality meat, but still a better meal than the orange chicken. read more

Probably the best sushi spot in Olympia? Fish seems to be great quality. Sashimi is almost melt in your mouth good. Bento options are great with huge portion sizes too. Slightly pricier than other places in Olympia, but the service, fish quality and value are great. read more

Delicious food with great presentation, and attentive service. My son loved the soft-shell crab appetizer, the Philadelphia roll and the California roll. The bluefin nigiri was great. read more

For all the seemingly woken prep (non-traditional-to-outright off/odd ingredients), this restaurant has terrible food quality. As in: do not go there if you appreciate fresh sushi, or hygiene. Looks very clean inside, warm atmosphere. I so wanted this place to work. Being from SF/Bay Area, I do appreciate fresh sushi. So after four times of not getting it, I finally decided to alert the community. Beware, they will not change out your order without making a fuss (though their fault.). They were angry when I pointed out what we concluded to be a rat hair in the food. Then someone asked very pointedly for a vegan roll/no egg. When it came with egg, the server picked out the egg with her hands and even admitted to doing so. No one wanted to finish after that happened. Third times a charm right? Nope. This time ordered a sashimi salad with salmon. It was filled with fatty disgusting salmon that was not chewable. 4) We are very patient diners, and wanted to try one last time. So moving forward with hope - we ordered *cooked* salmon, thinking it would be a safe bet. I truly have never been served the fishy-smelling, very clearly old salmon. The server attempted to convince me I 'wasn't feeling well' and I found that to be offensive too, as we'd been very patient with this restaurant and were return customers (who did not complain the previous 3 mishaps described above.). We just thought, really you're going to blame your old fish on customers who give you a 20% tip each time? She asked sullenly (as though she lost the chance to pass along old fish that was destined for the bin), if I 'want anything else'. No apology. She angrily placed the menu in front of me. I said quickly, as to not cause her further upset that may result in more bad food, 'Uh no thanks.' Without a word, she took the menu and left. My son and husband were left to watch me sit with no food. Finally we just left. I hope no one else has these terrible experiences, because aside from being really rude and unsafe, they charge premium prices for everything- trying to play up the freshness (ironically, and those weird ingredients are not good tasting substitutes.). I'm open to new tastes, and progress. This isn't it. read more
