Not great quality sushi. Place inside was nice though. Green tea was good. I would not come back here.

Amazing service waitress was extremely kind. The aesthetic is also on point. The water I had was good.

The sushi is great and priced well. The dining room is laid out that it feels very private, not like an open cafeteria like some establishments. The wait staff was great ad well. read more

We had the volcano roll. A whole lump of rice tops with "lobster salad" after each tasted it we realized that it was only rice in the middle and they refused to replace it or refund it. This simple act of not caring about how their service is perceived has made me not want to spend money here again. read more

Asakusa - Volcano Roll -a whole lump of rice tops with "lobster salad" - Japanese Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

We tried sushi for the first time tonight after a friend recommended Asakusa and now we are SUSHI LOVERS!!! Everything was SO yummy!!! To start, we had the Clear Soup, which doesn't sound appetizing but it has a wonderful flavor and was full of wonton pieces and thinly sliced mushrooms. We chose the Steak Lettuce Wraps and Gyoza (pan-fried shrimp dumplings) as appetizers. The lettuce wraps weren't very flavorful and the sauce was a little bitter but the dumplings were A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I could have eaten 20 of those wonderful little bites of goodness. For our entree, we selected the California Roll, Aloha Roll and Aki-Ono Roll. Each had their very own unique flavor and they were all FaBuLoUs!!! It was hard to pick a favorite because they were all so different. For dessert, we chose one more yummy roll which was my favorite of the night, the Dragon Roll!!! The service was EXCELLENT as well!!! We told our server, Holly, that it was our first time eating sushi, so she took the time to thoroughly explain the menu and make recommendations. Our drinks never went empty and she was very friendly. She told us to start slow and that the sushi would expand in our stomach and she was so right. We were so stuffed that we could have rolled out of the restaurant!!! Overall, this place was SUPER and I can't wait to go back!!! Great food. Great service. Great value. Great atmosphere too. read more

From coast to coast, they have some of the best sushi I have ever had. Always great service no matter who you get and the food is always consistently great every time. read more

Asakusa is by far the best Sushi in Fort Wayne. The competition tries, but it doesn't even come close! The secret is in the rice - any Sushi lover knows this - and you will know the second you take your 1st bite ! The consistency is outstanding and so is the customer service. Give them a try and prove me wrong - I dare you ! read more

Besides the veggie maki roll, steamed rice, seaweed salad, cold tofu appetizer, and house salad there isn't an option to make any of their entrées vegan by adding tofu or edamame or something. They do have a cold tofu appetizer (which is completely weird/foreign to me and I don't recommend), so you would think that you could sub out one of the meats for tofu in a dish, but you can't. The food is always very good, but without a vegan protein option I leave hungry and wanting more. So I go to another restaurant that has tofu or shelled edamame options. read more

I brought my Japan-obsessed eight-year-old twins to Asakusa for some sushi and Bento Box Lunch. The food had big portions and plenty of everything. We got a couple of avocado rolls- they were stuffed with more avocado than we usually get elsewhere and were fresh and delicious. We also got Kani su, the crab appetizer, which came in a yummy vinegar sauce. The sushi rolls we got were big and fresh and I had a lovely Pinot Grigio for nine bucks. All and all, it was fairly affordable for the quality and the atmosphere was cozy. read more

This place is no where as good as Sapporo's next doors down they serve the same food at the same price. Sure you can get some extra menu items here, which I tired and it sucked. I ordered the peppered seafood. It came with miso soup which I really liked. It came with a ginger salad. The salad was drenched in ginger salad dressing and the dressing was not as good as at Sapporo's. The pepper seafood was literally seafood with pepper on it. No sauce. There was two small splices of carrot and two broccoli frontera on my plate. At Sparros you get the full Habachi experience with lots of veggies and fried rice. This place only offered a bowl of white rice. My wife ordered the Teriyaki shrimp which is similar to what you get at the next door experience but with way less vegetables and rice. Again no fried rice. Also the beer was over priced. read more

As of Tuesday, Dec 1 they were still allowing dine in on a first come, first serve basis. I'm not a Fort Wayne local so I haven't been to all the sushi joints around town but this one was yummy! Their basic rolls are cut into 6 large pieces. Sushi rolls have their own separate menu that describes each roll. The specialty rolls don't have a price listed next to them (that I saw) but we got 4 different ones ranging from 10-15$/roll. read more

Restaurant review FORT WAYNE BEST: SUSHI RESTAURANT Since our move from IL, I was concern that I would not be able to find a sushi restaurant that had quality fish and never having to worry about seafood poisoning. This is the one. I have been here a total of 7 times since my visit and never been disappointed with a meal. The key is to make a reservation or else you might be stuck waiting on the benches during peak time. I have always gone with the large sushi boat which has a mix of sashimi, nigiri, and a roll; however, with all that rice, I have now opted for the sashimi boat only which comes with a bowl of hot rice as well. The fish itself has never been anything but fresh. The salmon is quite fatty and tasty. Service itself also is not bad and food prep time can range from average to the longer side depending on how busy. We have also had the tempura and teriyaki salmon which is cooked perfectly. The tempura batter is light and the ingredients used are fresh. The teriyaki salmon is not overcooked and comes skin on with a perfect crisp balanced with the sweetness of the teriyaki sauce. Pros: best fresh sushi in town, good prices Cons: no bento box at dinner, tight parking spots, small waiting area, long wait time without a reservation Hidden deals: None read more

Best sushi in town bar none! Always fresh. Platings are beautiful. Service is excellent and super friendly.

Longtime favorite! At our most recent visit, the restaurant was impressively clean and neat but I did find a hair on my plate. Service was good. We will be back! read more

This might just be the best sushi in Fort Wayne! They have traditional and unique rolls that are absolutely incredible. Definitely would recommend read more

Great ambiance Dark and jazzy music playing and the tables feel separated from each other creating a personal cozy feel One of the best quality sushi in town read more

We walked in, they were really rude, another person came to get us water, and walked away before even giving us eye contact. Our Menus dropped on the table in an aggressive manner. Left before even ordering, will not be coming back. read more

This is the place to go in Fort Wayne for authentic Japanese food. Service is always good and the food is excellent. Great atmosphere for having a conversation while you eat as it isn't too loud and the booths are private. We have eaten here regularly over the last 20 years and have never been disappointed. If you are looking to be entertained with a hibachi chef go to the place next door. If you are looking for good food go to Asakusa. read more

Came here for the first time for my sons birthday. Seven people at a Japanese restaurant for lunch, be still my heart and brace yourself wallet or so I thought. Turns out as a Coosa is incredibly affordable and delicious. Did I mention five of the seven in our party were children! And not just any children, teenagers. Three of them are boys. I thought for sure I was going to end up scrubbing dishes. Nope and they left full and I left with enough money to take them all to a movie. One thing I really liked about this place is the Solid door that closes between the restaurant and the door to the outside. That solid wood door makes all the difference in the ambience of that place. Perfect for a lunch meeting or a quiet party. The food was really good. Our table had a variety of sushi both styles, a lunchbox special, and chicken fried rice. No one was disappointed all the plates are clean and everyone left full. I would definitely recommend this to people coming from out of town or locals I want to try something new. read more

Met a friend for lunch, she recommended the deep fried California roll.... DELICIOUS, pure comfort food ! Still thinking about how good it tasted. read more

Ever been to that one restaurant that everyone tries to be like? Asakusa is that place when it comes to Sushi. They have been here for quite a long time. ALWAYS GOOD and very affordable. They have a menu that will please even the NON Sushi lovers. Highly recommend this place! read more

Woah, dang this was a miss. The food was wild in a bad way. The dressing on the ginger salad is, I make no exaggeration, ketchup. If you don't believe me, try it. I said something like l "is this ketchup?" And our waitress said "yes its ketchup based." She was not happy I asked that question. She yelled across the room, "hear that chef, she said you put too much ketchup in the dressing." but even before our waitress, sarah was pretty unattentive and snappy. The miso soup was the only good thing from our three person meal. read more

Best sushi in Fort Wayne hands down and my server Jesse was simply amazing. Ordering tips: start off with a clear soup and then get the Tokyo roll add cream cheese and Aka Oni roll read more

In my opinion the best sushi in town. Small place, but the staff is excellent, and the sushi is top-notch. They always have a special roll on the chalkboard. Today was a southwest roll, it was awesome. I highly recommend. read more

Whether you go and eat in or get it to go you will always be satisfied. I recommend all the rolls and a cold saki is a must.

TAKE OUT REVIEW ONLY!! The food here is really good their sushi is tasteful and always well prepared and presented. I recently tried their peppered seafood and it was delicious. It does have a little kick to it so be warned! Also the soup and salad that comes with the meals is a great touch. Overall a good choice!! read more

Asakusa--where you don't have to worry about anything. The sushi is light, fresh and well rolled. The sashimi is crisp, and melts in your mouth. The teriyaki meats are tender and tasty. The rice and veggies that accompany these dishes are succulent and savory. The service is also top notch--attentive but not overly so. I always have a great time whenever I go to this restaurant. One note: they do not take reservations and there can be a wait in the evenings, but it is worth it. read more

I love eating here. The food is always delicious and fresh. The staff are friendly and fast. I usually go for lunch and I order the lunch box with spicy Texas roll for my sushi. It's also very affordable. You definitely should try this place. read more

I've been in FW for over 2 years and haven't been here because I overlooked it because it was in a strip mall. I have been working on getting over my judgmental perspectives of the exterior of places. Now that I deviled into the interior of this restaurant and found a lovely dinning room of separate private tables. Our server was professional and personable. We went for lunch and they had many well priced options. We ordered bento boxes and some sushi. The tempera was perfectly light and crisp. The sushi was perfection as it was delivered promptly. Lunch was served with soup which was some of the best miso based soup that I've had in a long time. Then there was a side salad with a house dressing that was also good but I don't know how to describe the flavor. I ordered sweet potato sushi and the shrimp tempera. We tried the Texas roll with the bento box and while it was good, you must like tuna. We will for sure be back. I'd like to come for happy hour for half priced sushi. read more

Very glad we headed this direction instead of Sapporo. The sushi was the best I've had in Fort Wayne, the service was superior, the atmosphere is intimate but inviting, and the katsu was just as you could expect to have in Japan. Look nowhere else for authentic Japanese cuisine. This is the place to go. read more

Sushi is always great and the service is quick! The ambiance is wonderful and I would recommend to anyone!

The business staffed an exceptionally unprofessional and disorganized host. Extraordinarily unprofessional in any business. Sickening you can't even get social etiquette correctly. Have some personal integrity. With other services of the same type in town with human level service. We won't be back read more

Use to love eating here. Not happy about the smelt eggs not being on rolls anymore do to price. Ate at another new place last week that is using smelt in order to give that awesome flavor. I noticed they didn't smother the rolls in them and that is what I expect Asakusa to do. Just use enough for flavor. read more

Favorite sushi spot in Fort Wayne. We always get the gyoza to start and the only downside to that is that we have to get two orders because they're so good. Also haven't had a roll I didn't love. read more

Best sushi location in Fort Wayne in my opinion. Staff is always very friendly as well.

OK, I'm convinced that Yelp does not work in the greater FWA area. There were so many great reviews on this place and it was an EPIC FAIL. Where do I start? Started with shumai. Great preparation with fresh chunky bits of shrimp. Maybe I should have stopped there. I ordered a small assortment of nigiri and sashimi. Now for the 25 thousand dollar question... Do you have uni tonight? "YES" So I will just cut to the chase. The Uni was not fresh and had a bad aftertaste. The sashimi was uneventful and Tako was tasteless. To add insult to insult... the Spicy Salmon Hand Roll was overfilled with rice and included some type of greet lettuce. In any decent sushi place it would have included some finely cut, pickled carrots. Uninspired and low quality. Save your money. read more

Large sushi and udon noodle restaurant located in an unassuming strip mall. The food is among the best Japanese offering in Fort Wayne but the service is top notch. Don't be alarmed if the waiting area is full when you arrive. It turns very quickly. I don't come here all that often -- maybe once every other month -- but they always recognize my family immediately. read more

Everytime i come into this place the environment is always so perfect. The music sets a calm and relaxing feel while enjoying the food. The ambiance is darker lightng and you sot in semi private seating. Evry table is hidden in ita own cubby. The food is so amazing and so fresh. I love every bite. the sushi is fresh and tasteful. I get the crunchy spicy salmon rill and the tempura shrimp roll and i highly recommend them if you like a savory flavothe service is average and very nice. read more
