We usually treat ourselves to sushi once every month or two. Asian Cafe is always our go-to for the best sushi in the area. They have a big variety of rolls, plus other foods too! And the owner is super sweet! Definitely recommend going there! read more

Perfect stop while driving up north! Just one block off of 94. We called ahead and ordered the bento boxes and are extremely satisfied with our selections! The sesame chicken and shrimp sushi rolls were outstanding. read more

First visited in March of 2019. Excellent food and very friendly owner/operator. Really liked the Bento Box with options for sushi rolls, apps, and Chinese / hibachi entrees. We've returned to dine in several times since our initial visit. Always excellent food. Today was our first visit to pick up food since the pandemic restaurant limitations. They have done an excellent job of adapting to the current reality. Walk-up pass-through window to pick up your order. Greeted by the same friendly smile as always - just behind a mask. All of our food was as good as if we had dined in. Grateful they have remained open! read more

Awesome food as always. Definitely a go-to for Chinese takeout. Unlike many places, they allow you increase the level of spiciness for their dishes. Ever since the China Kitchen in Rogers closed, this is the spot every time. Nothing else compares in quality. read more

Good Chinese food and very good rolls and sushi. The creamy jalapeño appetizer was awesome - I will definitely get it again. Service was so friendly and quick. The lunch specials and bento boxes are a great deal. I'll definitely be back. read more

Although the online menu leaves much to be desired (it's a scanned in version of the menu, so be prepared to zoom in a deal with a bit of blurry), the food is top-notch. I've even tried the sushi several times and it is also fantastic, if fantastically named. I've NEVER , EVER had a bad experience there, and I highly recommend this place to everyone who likes Chinese food (and even kids who don't - there's a great American menu too). Preparation times are appropriate for any Chinese pickup and prices are equivalent to others in the area. The food is far superior, though they don't carry lemon sauce (a personal preference). Locally owned and operated by Asian folks who all speak English. read more

I come hear often! Very good food! Clean and a nice atmosphere... date worthy Asian food and service!

Went here for lunch it was very good. Staff seemed unorganized, but overall good. Food was good. Nice lunch place.

My husband and I were in the area and we decided to get some Chinese food. It wasn't the best we've ever had but we think that it was good. Some of the sauces tasted more Americanized then we would've liked and that's why I voted it 4 stars. The service was great with very nice and smiling staff. I thought the pricing was fine, but we also live closer to the cities. read more

Consistently delicious, freshly made cuisine and to top it off the place is immaculate! The staff is friendly and the owners make you feel like family. My elderly parents frequent the Asian Cafe weekly and when my Mom was hospitalized for 2 straight months my Dad would stop in weekly to pickup takeout to brighten my Mom's day in the hospital. The owner would insist on paying for my Mom's meal, she always asked how Mom was doing and let my Dad know that she was praying for her. My Dad was able to bring my Mom back to the restaurant recently but didn't realize they were closed on Mondays! The owners opened the doors for them and cooked them lunch! People like the owners of Asian Cafe are a rare find these days! When I am in town visiting from Dallas, Asian Cafe is a must for me, it is hands down the best Asian food I have ever had! read more

Great service, quality and taste. Good value as well. I would highly recommend eating here and I will definitely be back.

The best sushi anywhere close!!!!!!!! Quality, pricing, if you like sushi and live in Sherburne and Wright counties come here.

Lots of sushi rolls! Asian favorites. Bento box combinations. Small space but fast and hot food.

Great Asian/Fusion style food and drink. We had a great experience and would recommend this place to anyone in search of a slightly different take on Asian food. Good sushi bar too. read more

Awesome!! Everything is so fresh and the presentation is great! Friendly and helpful staff. Something for everyone here. We definitely will be coming back!! read more

What a wonderful experience!!! Went here for the first time tonight with my sister-in-law and her husband. Short wait for a table but so glad we did. Started out with the pepper tuna tataki appetizer which was very fresh. I ordered a bento box and there were multiple choices. My sister-in-law had a Spicy Maki Combo plate and really enjoyed the spicy crabmeat roll. Her husband, who didn't want to eat here, ordered the sesame chicken which he really liked. The server was extremely personable and helpful. The owner came out twice to talk to us to find out if we enjoyed our meal and if we had any suggestions for the restaurant or the menu. read more

What a great place! Our daughter picked it because of previous great experience. Owner came around asking how everything was and was hilarious. The party really liked the Sushi Boat! Birthday dessert was very appreciated. The Sesame Chicken was fantastic. Thank you for the fun experience. read more

Went for lunch. Sushi was old and dry. Like it had been made up way ahead or even frozen and thawed out. Very disappointed. It was always good before. read more

Very good sushi with unique combinations! I absolutely love sushi and this place is delicious. Easily one of the best places around for Japanese food. Yes, it's pricey, but that's what happens when you live this far in-land. Sushi was rolled nice and tightly with even knife cuts. Wasabi tasted super fresh and went a long way. Food came in less than 15 minutes. Staff was very nice and accommodating. We went during the dinner rush on a weekend, but didn't have to wait long for assistance and were seated right away. I would definitely go back to this place! So good! ^_^ I love supporting local businesses, especially ones that care about their operations and customers. read more

They were absolutely swamped on Christmas but our large order was filled perfectly and everything tasted great. We've had take out several times and have always been happy with the service and quality and quantity of food. read more

Maybe this place is good for sushi, but it was just average for everything we ordered. Cheese Wontons were luke warm, chicken was rubbery in the cashew chicken, and eel sushi had no flavor. I will give 2 stars for service and Egg roll which was very good. Overall price was also not too bad. read more

Fried rice is dried. Sushi rolls are small, 8 pieces. Seaweed salad tops lettuce. On raining days, it is dark. The place is clean, small-about 14 tables. There's a bar too that fits two people. Servers are attentive. Service is adequate. Prices are similar to other restaurants with similar dishes. read more

We have been here several times when passing through town. It's such a hidden gem. The food is fresh and delicious. The service is always amazing. We'll be back! read more

Always amazing! Even during COVID. call ahead ordering is easy. My orders are always ready on time and accurate. Service with a smile!

Sorry, but the Asian food at Asian Cafe is poor at best. The services was ok, although I ordered sweet and sour chicken and got seasame chicken. The breaded chicken, which I would assume is used for both dishes was coated heavily in breading with very minimal chicken as well as over cooked and not very flavorful. I ordered two spring rolls which were not flavorful at all and tasted freezer burned. read more

We're visiting from out of town and thought we'd check it out on recommendation from another lady getting a pedicure too. She said it was their favorite restaurant and never had a bad meal. Prices were really good and food was fantastic. There are many choices for a "build your own" style of Bento box, and the sushi rolls were first rate. We highly recommend. read more

Great food, great service, cute young couple own it and are often seen talking to guests, making sure everything's OK. We feel very welcome here. They even have a monthly drawing to show their customer appreciation! read more

Tried the bento box with sesame chicken, spicy tuna roll, egg roll and fried rice. The chicken was to sweet, but it was good quality. The tuna roll was really good, it's the reason I gave it 4 stars. The rice was average. The egg roll was good, nothing special to tell about either one. I like the idea of the bento box, I get my sushi fix, and something fried all rolled into one fantastic package! read more

Nice little "Asian cafe". Clean dining area but for being new I wouldn't expect anything less. Friendly service. The variety of options is nice but I went specifically for the sushi/Japanese items. The bento box is a good deal and you and customize your items and you get what you want. The chicken hibachi was great, nice tender chicken not dry. The rainbow roll was really good as well. read more

I'm sorry I really did not like the food here... The staff is very nice and the place is clean but when it comes to what really matters the food I was not a fan it's hard enough to find authentic Chinese food and these kind of places just saturate the market with mediocre food very unauthentic with pop music playing and awkward lighting throws the whole ambiance off read more

My husband and I went there last night for the first timeand it was amazing!! It was clean and comfortable, our server was impeccable, she gave excellent recommendations and I can't wait to go again! The food was beautifully presented and was piping hot - freshly made to order. We had spring rolls that were delicious - crispy, hot and fresh. Next was the Angry Bird Roll and it was superb! This roll had tempura shrimp and crab - it was so good! For entrees, my husband had orange chicken and fried rice and I had Beef and Scallops Hunan-style and fried rice. The orange chicken was the best we've ever tasted and my beef and scallops was outstanding - super fresh and crisp veggies, everything cooked and presented to perfection! The menu is full of variety and so many sushi options, portions are great (we both brought home leftovers) and I though it was a great value as well. I think this is a great addition to our town and can't wait to visit Asian Cafe again! read more

Instant miso soup not cooked long enough, seaweed tough, frozen gyoza, and the ocean and tuna chefs special rolls were small and the flavors were off. Service was friendly but spastic. Wouldn't go back. read more

We ordered thru doordash a week ago. Most of the food was ok. I ordered spring rolls for an appetizer. The wrapper was mush inside, only the outside was cooked. The tiny bit of filling had no flavor and was the same mushy consistency of the uncooked wrapper. The lo mein was ok. Not much meat in the house special one. We also ordered the donuts. They came in a round container. There was about a 1/2 cup of sugar sitting in the middle. They tasted mostly of fryer oil. read more

Orange chicken. Pink lady, volcano all delicious. Staff and owner very personable. Created a one of a kind experience!

Don't go here for sushi. Rice was terrible, rolls were small. Service was not great. Food was not really delicious in any capacity. The rest of the Chinese food menu might be good, we never tried it. read more

Best Sushi we have had in Minnesota! The staff was great, Gina was so welcoming and good with our kids! We had 3 yummy rolls and they had good kids menu options. We definitely will come back! read more

Great little restaurant! Smaller quaint seating area but great food and always great service. I typically get sushi rolls, great selection. The wife usually gets the bento box as it has a great mix of options and is a great value. If you're in the mood for sushi or good Asian fare, this is the place. read more

I came in late and the service was amazing. I've had a lot of Asian food from the west coast, but this place has the best fried eats hands down. You can tell that the owners take pride in their cooking and service. read more

I've been here three times and have thoroughly enjoyed every meal I have tried. The staff is always friendly and the service is great. Asian Cafe is also very quiet. This is a great restaurant option in Monticello. Highly recommend this place! read more

What a nice find! A family friendly, small restaurant with good sushi and generous bento boxes. Very reasonably priced, friendly staff, menu with plenty of options. We enjoyed our first visit and will be back again. read more
