Asakusa - Teriyaki salmon dinner - Japanese Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

See all

Asakusa is a must try if you love sushi and Japanese food. The facility is surprisingly large. It is nicely decorated and clean. You feel like you have landed in an authentic Japanese restaurant. The team here is conscious and attentive. The menu is large - some for everyone, Japanese food lovers and all. The house salad is simple and fresh. The ginger dressing always has fresh pop. This salad was topped with a lot of dressing than was very thick. The miso soup is pretty standard but tasty. The fried gyoza was made to perfection. The wrapper had a nice crisp and a slight amount of oil. The dipping sauce helps accent the wrapper and pork piece. My grilled teriyaki salmon Don Buri was outstanding! The rice was perfectly cooked - moist and sticky. The salmon had a nice fresh non-fishy taste. The teriyaki glaze was sweet and really pulled the salmon and rice flavors together. read more

Sushi in Fort Wayne? Am I crazy? No! Asakusa rocks! Great sushi selection (for the Midwest) delicious appetizers, try the gyoza, and fun selection of rolls. Had the sushi appetizer today, $11.25 and a delicious east coast maki roll. Great value and a regular stop for me when I'm in Fort Wayne! read more

Food and a show.. nice place.. lots of choices for sushi.. amazing hibachi.. service is always great.. beautiful dinning area

Tried this place again after months of not going there. Expensive for what you get. What bugged us is that they would not seat us until our whole group was here. Guy had a kind of grin on his face when telling me this, twice. Cool flex bro, you lost the first round of your high margin product, beer. We just stood there in the small entry corner looking at each other. Got seated, ate, got the bill. Won't go back. If I walk into your establishment and you tell me you won't seat me and make me stand there, I will go elsewhere. 37.00 for a beer, 4.29 coke and the lunch box with tip. Average priced I guess. The lady serving was really nice. read more

A favorite of ours for years when we lived in the area. We were excited to return on a recent visit to Indiana. We were a party of five on a Saturday evening. Everyone started with the clear soup which never disappoints and a variety of rolls and meals were ordered. To our delight, everything was just as good as we remembered. I'm partial to the Dragon Roll and it hit the spot in all the right ways. The table service was fine and if it was a little slow, we didn't notice because we were all busy talking and enjoying being together. Everyone working there was friendly and we even joked with some of them when they "borrowed" an extra chair from our table. Smiles and laughter is something you don't find everywhere. Definitely still our top pick for sushi in Ft. Wayne. read more

Asakusa has the best sushi in northeast Indiana. It's hard to find another sushi restaurant that can compare. I've never had a bad experience while dining. read more

Another travel trip, another day to try Asian food in this area. The restaurant was very crowded. Looks like a popular place for local. Owned and run by Chinese. It's hard to find a true japanese restaurant in midwest. You'll be lucky to find a good Asian food. Service was good for Sushi bar. Server was attentive. Kinda slow for table services. Not sure what went wrong. Plenty of Sushi Chef behind small bar. About 5-6 people. Still, heard some people tried to walk out due to long wait. Not sure why local likes clear soup, comes with some tempura crumbs, compare to Miso soup in typical japanese in Coast cities. Ordered Chirashi to try different sashimi. Not bad. Thick cut, fulfilling and fresh. Hopefully they keep consistency in quality and services. read more

Best sushi ever! Friendly staff, clean and comfortable seating, and the best sushi every time we eat here or carry out. Some restaurants have good days and bad days but not here. Consistently excellent!! read more

The steak is horrible!! It used to be so good. Said They switched distributors for their meat. Half of the steak was to chewy and would not break down enough to swallow and had to spit it out. At $33 a steak meal you would think they would actually buy good steak!! Also their coke has a bleachy kind of taste and smell to it! Really disappointed as I used to love going here. Manager said there was nothing he could do about it. ‍ won't be going back there again! read more

This was our first time at Asakusa. It had a pleasant decor and our server was friendly and knowledgeable. The tempura was very tasty and the miso soup was above average. The squid salad was a bit tough but the flavor was really good. My dragon roll was quite sticky and the taste was subpar. Our dinner companions seem to like the chicken teriyaki but my wife's shrimp and vegetables were bland and undercooked. We will probably will go elsewhere for our next sushi adventure. read more

My dear friend and I meet there once a month for years. We enjoy the food. We like the servers, especially Jordan and Lisa. The guy at the door is rude and mean. Apparently he is the entitled son of the owner. Unfortunately he needs to be fired. Even when he knew we were upset, he didn't come over and apologize. Were changing our lunches to read more

Staff is fantastic and the freshest and authentic sushi preparation! I've been a loyal customer for years and no other Japanese restaurant compares! The owners Quan and Michelle are wonderful! read more

Always a good choice for dinner. Was a very busy Friday night, had to wait about 40 minutes but well worth it. They will text you when the table is ready so you can go run other errands nearby. Chicken teriyaki is very good, portion size is decent. Sushi is always fresh. Didn't get this time but my personal favorite is the oni maki sushi. It is warm and delicious. Service is usually attentive and friendly. Inside has mood lighting and the music doesn't overheat the ambiance. Never a bad choice for dinner. Biggest complaint is that I wish I could buy a quart of the clear soup at a time, it's so good. read more

First time here and we were so pleased! We didn't plan ahead and make a reservation, so we expected a wait and we're totally fine with waiting when the hostess told us 40 minutes. Maybe a little over 5 minutes later they gave us a call that spots at the sushi bar had just become available, and it being just the two of us that was perfect. It's very cozy in there and it was nice being at the sushi bar and kind of getting to see what was going on! Service was prompt, and the food was amazing. We definitely need to stop back in and try more things. We had already dug in here but we tried the tempura roll, dragon roll, and a few different sashimis (: read more

Asakusa - Tuna And Salmon Sashimi Sushi & California Maki - Japanese Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Only reason I give them any stars is because the food tasted good but was not worth the literal HOURS of waiting for everything. Then the bill was messed up and they tried to bill me for my table and someone elses. It was painful just to get water to the table. Our server was pleasant but completely worthless as a server. There were empty tables all around us so I don't buy the "we are busy" excuse. I won't be back any time soon. Merry Christmas to me... read more

Great service and food. Lots of sushi options and other delicious entrees to choose from. They also offer take out service for those of us in a rush. read more

I really was hoping for a solid sushi place coming to Fort Wayne, but unfortunately Asakusa left a lot to be desired. My boyfriend and I came in during a busy Saturday, during dinner time. I had heard good things about the restaurant, so I was eager to try their food. The decor was actually really nice and intimate, with a good amount of space and comfortable seating. Our waitress was friendly and talkative as well, so that was a really nice part of the meal. We ordered the soft shell crab, a couple rolls, and some salmon nigiri (my staple at any sushi restaurant). Sadly, the soft shell crab had visible flour on multiple pieces. It was tucked away on parts that did not seem to be fully battered, and I didn't realize it until I tasted the flour and saw it covering certain places on the crab. We got the rolls soon after, and the flavor of the fillings were good. However, the sushi rice was poorly seasoned and tasted more like plain, steamed rice - and the rolls had a loooot of rice. They were huge, but that was mainly because of the rice! It was disappointing because with better rice (and less rice), I think the rolls would have been stellar. But sushi rice is such an important part of good sushi... the same issue could be said about the nigiri sushi as well. The salmon was very fatty, which isn't to my personal taste, but the rice was rather distracting. Overall I'd like to give them a try again in the future. It may have been because the night was busier, but it's definitely not the best first impression. read more

I picked up some take out from this Fort Wayne sushi spot while in town for business, and it was enjoyable. I ordered the shrimp shumai dumplings, and they were delicious, although quite small. The dipping sauce was tangy and tasty. I also had a few sushi rolls, including the spicy salmon. They sushi rolls were a very nice portion, and they were definitely tasty. However, I don't like it when wasabi gets on my rolls before I can get a chance to dig in. The pricing was very reasonable. I would definitely choose to eat here again. read more

So delicious, a hit every single time. Our waiter was so nice and was cracking jokes with us. We always have an amazing time here

Asakusa - An obnoxious amount of maki rolls - Japanese Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Great food. I've been going to Asakusa off and on for years. Food has always been good. The wait staff however likes to put their fingers into your food. Thumb in soup, finger touches food on dish as they carry it, thumb in steamed rice. I don't know why they keep grabbing dishes like that, but it's at a point where I an done. Turnover is high. Ambiance is good for vampires. read more

Great food! Great service! Quite dining experience. Really nice atmosphere. The sushi was top notch.

People always ask: What do you miss about Fort Wayne? My response: THE FOOD! Asakusa is one of those places in that list. Yeah, there are a lot of wonderful places in Houston but I always find myself comparing it to Asakusa and wishing I could go back. Well the opportunity arose, and I didn't let it slide. Just like I remember. The restaurant is set up wonderfully, each table is in its own little cubby for the best privacy for conversation. You don't feel like your sitting on top of someone else. The sushi is amazing. It's fresh, great portions, and great flavor. If you are from Fort Wayne, visiting Fort Wayne, moving to Fort Wayne, whatever really - this is a must add to your stop! Enjoy! read more

This is my go to place when I am in Fort Wayne. The show they do when preparing the food is great.

Yummy sushi. I didn't love the red ginger sauce but I loved my soup. Menu can be a little difficult to navigate and prices are not shown. I got the clear soup and ginger salad as an app. If you want to know cost, go online to see the menu. If I got the spicy tuna again, I would recommend asking for cucumber vs lettuce. The specialty rolls were also delicious. I definitely recommend! read more

1st time there, although others in our group are regulars. They all ordered sushi, and I must say, the presentation was great and large servings. We don't eat sushi so instead ordered teriyaki shrimp and chicken. Both were great and servings were large. Our server was great. Interested, attentive, very friendly. read more

It was so cozy and the food was AMAZING. I got the combo don with chicken katsu and chicken teriyaki (I like chicken, lol) and it was perfect!! We ordered the dumplings as an appetizer and split a special roll. Everything was so delicious, the waiter was nice & helpful, and the ambience was dark & cozy. Lastly, they brought me a green tea ice cream for my birthday! Can't wait to come back! read more

Best sushi in Fort Wayne and it's not even close. Staff is super friendly and it's a great environment. Highly recommend.

Been going here for 10+ years now and the food has been consistent and yummy always. Fast speedy service, and the best Japanese food around. Best sushi I have ever had by far and overall so impressive! So many options to choose from. read more

Wow. I used to love going to Asakusa for sushi but I doubt I will return again. If I do it won't be for sushi. I got a lunch special spicy tuna roll and an additional honzo roll. The spicy tuna was not spicy at all - I guess if you find mayo to be spicy then sure? Both rolls were so bland and the rice was over cooked. Asparagus has a pretty strong presence usually and I could barely tell it was in the honzo maki. Also, the rolls didn't come with any ginger to cleanse the palate - I had to ask for it and the chef did not wash his hands and just grabbed some and put it into a small dish for me. The nigiri were OK, but left much to be desired. The fish in the case at the bar looked a bit old and dried out, but I can't say for sure due to the dim lighting. What happened!? I'm sad that this Fort Wayne spot has declined like it has. read more

Sometimes you just know a place will be great! Walked in on a Sunday night and the place was super busy, according to several people waiting to be seated, this was the usual for Asakusa. To be seated faster, I offered to sit at the sushi bar. The head sushi chef greeted me kindly and was attentive throughout my entire meal. My server arrived quickly, offered water, and let me peak at the menu before I ordered. He was actually the perfect balance between attentive and not intrusive. I ordered Gyoza, soup, and the Red Dragon Roll. The gyoza and soup were amazing. Packed full of flavor and the perfect starter. The Red Dragon Roll took a while to be served to me, but it was absolutely worth the wait. The Roll was perfectly balanced, tons of flavor, the sauce added so much to it. Quite possibly one of the best sushi rolls I've ever had. If you're a fan of sushi, this is a MUST stop on your list! Highly recommended this place, I'm eager to come back! read more

I can't believe I've never written a review for Asakusa. It's amazing!!!!!!! Hands down, best sushi in Fort Wayne. There was a time when we would go here 2-3 times a week! And we have never tired of it. There are other good sushi places in The Fort. But overall, Asakusa wins! Their rolls are so much bigger and have so much more food stuffed inside, as compared to others. I have never had anything from here that I didn't love. I think the Bonsai roll is my favorite. But everything is delicious! They also have the BEST seaweed salad! read more

Nice ambiance. I like that most all of the tables are set up in a somewhat private setting without being secluded. Food was excellent. Sushi was A little pricey for some items, mostly the small sides were $$, and puts this place out of the ballpark for being a regular go-to, but I would certainly recommend for anyone looking for a very good sushi option in the area. read more
