The food was good, but if you mess up sushi you have no business having a restaurant. I had the great fortune of being taken here on my 20th birthday by sweet friends, all of whom I no longer speak to. It was a nice little outing outside of our usually isolated school campus. read more

This place is one of the few places I've been in a while that is truly Meh. Not bad mind you. But I'll forget I ate here the moment I'm done provided it doesn't revisit me. The soup dumplings are good and the people are wonderful but the dinner was a bit flavorless. read more

I have eaten here probably 20 times. Best sushi in Burlington and nicest staff. It will always be a first choice if they are open!

I love this place. the best sushi in the area! We always come here when we have a date night.

Cold restaurant subterranean. Miso soup was served cold with no seaweed and only one or two small pieces of tofu. Shrimp tempura was greasy and soggy. Unagi eel Maki roll was mushy. read more

I really expected to like this place; not sure if its the same owners as Asiana Noodle Shop, but the food and experience here was a disappointment. Our server may have been new, but she wasn't too knowledgeable or that friendly. We ordered hot ginger tea which was very good on the rainy night we came in. We ordered the Sushi Love Boat and fried calamari. The calamari was pretty good, but the sushi was still partially frozen and the appetizer that comes on the boat was drowning in sauce. We personally felt the sushi is better at Asiana Noodle Shop. I'd rather dine there in the future for sushi. read more

Amazing! Ordered take out. Coconut Shrimp 10/10 ( still crunchy after travel) Shredded fries 10/10 Volcano Noodles 10/10 Bibimbap 10/10 Golden Rolls were good in taste but didn't survive the travel. Super good and even after a 30min trip home; it was all delicious. read more

Great family-run restaurant. Attentive service and delicious sushi. I highly recommend you try their version of a rainbow roll with eel instead of fake crab. read more

I only got take out here so I can't comment on the service but majority of my rolls were Fusion Sushi rolls and I LOVED IT! It is a bit on the pricey side but I expected it to be since we are in VT. The menu is huge and there is so many options that I can imagine that if you bought a large party here, everyone will find something they can eat. But if you love fusion sushi rolls as much as I do, you will definitely want to come here ! read more

Love this place!!! Great spot for dinner! My fiancé and I stopped here for some sashimi and tofu soup and was impressed by the value and taste. So happy to find a gem here would recommend and come again! read more

Our first time here with friends. Friendly attentive service and fantastic food in a bright, comfortable room with calming music. The Bi bim bap with chicken and udon noodles arrived hot and stayed hot in the iron serving bowls. Tuna app so tender and flavorful. We will return! read more

If you are ever out late in Burlington on the weekends, this is the place to eat! Asiana House serves dumplings, meat sticks and spring rolls from 10pm-2am, Thursday through Saturday. They have amazing dumplings and everything is reasonably priced. You need to come to Asiana after the bars, it always hits the spot read more

Pretty easy to sum this place up. No question, the sushi is good. Not great, not bad, good. The prices are what is terrible. I've paid half the cost per roll for the same quality just a mile down the road. You definitely don't get what you pay for here in your food, you pay for location I guess. It's priced as a top tier sushi restaurant, however it tastes one step above conveyer belt sushi. If it's pay day or you just want to burn some cash to impress your new date, hit it up. You'll enjoy your time and sushi. If you want the same or even better quality for half the price, check out your other local options. read more

Best sushi in Vermont! The maki is fantastic, and service is prompt and attentive. I had the Scotty 2 Hottie maki (salmon with avocado and mango and a spicy sauce) and it was delish. I've tried a bunch of sushi places in the area and this is the best. Hidden gem!! read more

Was in town for business, made an order through Uber eats due to Covid. The driver shows up says both my soups had spilled because the restaurant did jo pack the meal correctly. Called the restaurant an hour before they closed...after finding out why I called.... a long silence some chatter with a coworker..."we closed, sorry" (click). Not very professional!!! I will get my money back from Uber, but not very good accountability read more

For those of you too lazy to read the full review here is the short of it: I did not like this place. There is nothing special or appealing about it. For those of you in for a story, keep reading. I showed up with 4 friends on a Friday night last week. We arrived around 8PM so the place wasn't too busy. We asked for a table for five and were seated at a table for 4 and then a chair was added to the end of the table; it was quite a tight fit. The table was unfortunately located right at the entrance to the restaurant so the five us started to feel rather chilled from the start of the meal. After ordering drinks and appetizers, we asked the waitress if we could please switch tables to the other side of the partition (there were two empty ones), as we were too cold to sit here. Her response? No, unfortunately not, as those two empty those tables had been reserved. Her tone suggested that THOSE VERY SPECIFIC TABLES were reserved...which was sort of off-putting. Anyways, the appetizers arrived; the fried calamari- which had so much breading that if it weren't for the crescent shape, you wouldn't have known it for such, followed by the gyza which I found to be extremely flavorless, and a side salad whose dressing was the only thing worth mentioning. After the appetizers, we ordered our meals. Four of us went with some sort of sushi concoction and my partner opted for the Korean BBQ for one. Upon ordering the Korean BBQ dish the waitress almost grew impatient; she questioned my partners choice and made some comment about how this is a self-make, messy dish. It was honestly, almost like she didn't want him to order it- as if it would be too much effort for the kitchen or her to deal with... This sort of attitude really really removed me from ever wanting to return to this place again. Of course, as I was there for the company rather than the food, I stuck it out. Once the sushi arrived, the rolls were HUGE; we are talking monster sized, two or three times the size a roll should be. The sushi rolls were too round, too bulky- impossible to actually put the whole thing in your mouth in one go. The rolls were designed to cater to the societal mindset- super sized! They were so large that it was truly difficult to distinguish the taste of what I was actually eating. My mouth was so stuffed, from just one roll, that there was no distinct flavor to any of the rolls I tried. It was really disappointing. Of course, throughout the meal, the two tables we were told were "reserved" and thus we couldn't sit at them, remained empty. We were there for at least an hour to an hour in a half and those tables, in the warmth of the restaurant, went unused. So there you have it; between the less-than-mediocre appetizers, the too large of sushi rolls, the disgruntled waitstaff, and the frigid atmosphere of the restaurant, I have had my fill of this place for a life time... read more

Amazing!!! I hadn't had sushi in years! Fresh, hi-quality ingredients. I wish I lived closer, I could have lunch there everyday. Wait staff was great. Chef has a great sense of humor. Great ambiance. Can't wait to go back. read more

Asiana House - Fire Maki - Sushi Bars Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

My favorite sushi spot in all of the Burlington area. I consider myself a regular here, trying almost every maki dish on the menu. My favorites being; Dancing Nacy, Pink Lady, and the Volcano. One thing that might be nice, is if they added pictures to their menu. Being new to it can be somewhat intimidating. I did notice, however, that their are pictures of their dishes and maki online, so head there if you are looking for that. read more

Oh Asiana House, I almost never, ever, ever give a one star, but one employee, I think a manager, earned it and destroyed everything else that's so good about you. My first experiences were all excellent--five stars--amazing food, especially kimche--the best in town! Then one night I went in for a late dinner with a friend, ordered a drink, and it was truly vile. It tasted like rancid mass-produced iced tea that went bad. I took one sip and my teeth curled. I pride myself on not complaining and knowing full-well, from working in the industry, that there are off-moments, and I don't worry and almost always let it go. For whatever reason, I mentioned it to our server--who was very understanding and brought it back--only a sip of it consumed. The server spoke to a manager figure at the bar and brought me a different drink. I did not--and never do--ask for a refund. I simply hope an establishment that serves something grotesque will have the decency to take an unconsumed item off the bill. In this case, I was wrong. The rancid iced tea drink was included on the bill. I said nothing, paid the bill, and never, ever went back. read more

This mom and pop restaurant is always comforting AND delicious! You can not go wrong eating here, I am in love with the sweet potato roll and the tuna salad. Everything here is so tasty and you can tell the owners really care about their business. read more

GREAT SUSHi, with take-out it's always fast. The dancing nancy roll is a personal fave

One of their servers messaged me on here for a 8 month review about their incompetency. This is why your store is going hill. Terrible customer service and rude servers. . . Problematic. Asiana Noodle shop is so much better. Avoid this place . Every time I come to this damn place there is a problem! A few nights back we (party of 5) waited almost 30 mins for our food. Now, I have take out with NO CHOPSTICKS! HOW DO YOU NOT PLACE CHOPSTICKS IN YHE BAG WHEN A CUSTOMER ORDERS SUSHI!!!!! .:sigh:. Idiots. Never again. read more

Best sushi in Burlington!! Their food is always fresh and on point. It's not a huge restaurant and feels cozy and welcoming. Highly recommend read more

I was here at 1pm on a Thursday, so it was definitely off-hours. That being said, i went once before on a Saturday evening and would rate my experience the same. The server made sure we had what we needed (water, other beverages, soy sauce, etc) and then left us alone, which is was fine with me. My friend and I each had miso soup, and ordered one of the special maki rolls. Mine was the Undertaker, and it was fabulous. I watched the chef making it behind the counter off to my left. My friend had the Scotty to Hottie roll and loved hers as well. The bill was automatically split up for the two of us, so it was easy to pay. I would stop in here for a fresh, yummy lunch anytime. read more

This place is one of my favorites!!! I always come here but have never written a review, however the food today was too good for me not to. I got the Scotty to Hotty Maki Roll and a sweet potato maki. Both were amazing. The sweet potato maki exceeded my expectations. I also got a side order of teriyaki fried rice (i asked them to put chicken in it). The service was fast for a busy Friday night. It was an awesome meal!!! This place also has guava candies at the front desk...so take advantage of that ;) read more

We had a wonderful dining experience at Asiana House. The owners were simply divine and friendly. While we are from San Francisco and wanted some Asian food, we started a conversation that made us feel homey and because we can converse in different dialects of Chinese, we found how pleasant and easy our conversation became. The owner is also from SF and his wife had such warmth in her smile, we left with wonderful vibes. The Hamachi Kama was to die for! What else can you ask for when dining out? Go for it! You can't go wromg read more

It's been years since we visited this sushi restaurant but it's as good or better than the last time. We have driven by in the afternoon and it looked like it was closed up, but it must have been the break between lunch and dinner, my mistake! read more

IMHO Asiana House is the best Burlington has for sushi. I"m not saying it's the best in the world. I'm saying it's the best in the area. Generally a pretty good variety of fish and other foods. It's true, service can be slow, but it's never that bad. A few years ago Karl Lagerfeld bought a house up in the Champlain Islands and for a while he and his entourage of very beautiful model types were dining out in Burlington all the time. There two picks were Trattoria Delia (Italian) and Asiana House. Enough said. read more

Usually pretty decent sushi and sashimi. HOWEVER service can be a tad bit slow and inconsistent . :-( It pains me tremendously to watch our dish sit and die on top of the sushi chef's glass case. I observed our waitress walk by our torched volcano maki numerous times before she got around to bringing it to our table less than 10 feet away. She never came by to check if everything was ok either. She seemed distracted and the place seemed understaffed. There was only one sushi chef on duty and the place was busy. Luckily for us weren't in a rush. read more

The food can range from very good to mediocre and unappealing. The sashimi platter is always good and some sushi rolls are excellent; skip any stir-fry or teriyaki dish, as it's drowning in a sugary sauce. The daytime waitress is quite rude and short. If you're looking for reliably great Asian food with pleasant service, go to Asiana Noodle House on Church Street! read more

2/4 of the rolls ordered were decent. The other 2 had tempura flakes that tasted like the fryers hadn't been cleaned in years. Couldn't even finish them. read more

Swung by this place the other night. The staff are great and very friendly. The place is not very large so call ahead if you *think* it might be busy. It was restaurant week so it was slammed at around 9. I took a seat at the bar and had no issues. There probably is not much of a wait, but I cannot attest to that. Food wise it was fresh sushi and good drinks, I have no complaints. read more

Truth be told, I'm a sushi (wait, maki or nigiri...I'll just called it sushi, ok?) newbie and I typically stick to the following: miso soup,. tempora, salmon/tuna roll with spicy sauce and avocado, edamame, and some chef's special sushi sashimi (my spell check is exploding annoying red lines, which I will now ignore)...At any rate, Asiana House (AH) is a welcomed treat for Montpelier. Before it set up shop on the corner of State and Elm the only sushi in town was a Wednesday evening traveling Wilburys shushi at Kismet and that was rather disappointing...THEN, out of the blue the Asian Gourmet opened in Barre...BARRE, I tells you! Now, Montpelier has a very good place for sushi. There is no official Asiana House Montpelier FB page; there is no separate YELP! entry for AH. Nonetheless, AH in the MontP deserves its own space. Location, Vibe: The cavernous State and Elm location has very solid acoustics for an intimate dinner for two or a large party. This location is teaming with denizens of Montpelier and the vibe is exciting inside. Food: The edamame was fresh one day and very dry the next; the miso soup was solid; the tempura was cooked to perfection (nice and crispy (is there any other way it should be?); the rolls were HUGE...My chief concern was that it took too many bites around the sushi roll to get to the center (like a tootsie roll sushi (but not as it SHOULD be)...Maybe girth is good in some circles but not, at least for me, in the sushi circle...The sushi/sashimi boat for one ($24) was plated on...wait...a boat! It was an SS Minnow of tons of food. There were succulent scallops, salmon, tuna (duh!) , California rolls (with fake crab (blahh!), and a wide champagne glass full of octopus (sticking to the SS sushi Minnow with a wasabi paste). One night AH ran out of salmon! Asiana House is no San Sai (on the Waterfront in Burlington) but it is a more than welcomed addition to the growing diversity of culinary flavors to hit Montpelier as of late...! read more

Went here tonight for sushi. The menu was a bit disappointing - just your standard rolls, nothing new or exciting. I had some sashimi and one eel avacado roll. It was all tasty enough. The green tea was green green! It didn't really look terribly appetizing and didn't have much in the way of flavor. The service was friendly, but kind of absent. Overall it was a nice enough dinner, but nothing really to write home about. read more

I went late on a Saturday night around 8:30 pm and was seated right away for a table of 2. Note: you can only make a reservation if you have a party of 5 or more. I really wanted to like this place and was hoping it would have the sushi I was looking for around here, but it really didn't live up to its hype for me. I like decor and intimate ambiance, which makes it a great date spot, but the prices are really not worth it for me. #Jasmine tea - good, but wish it had more tea leaves. I'm pretty sure you have to pay for this so why can't they put a little more on? I'd suggest getting this and waiting a little so that you can get more flavor because they use less tea leaves than I would for one cup of tea. #Crab cake - one of the better ones I've had, but expensive. #Udon noodle side dish - way too salty! Much worse than Asiana Noodle House. #T2 roll - packed with flavor but it was too much flavor for me. Sushi for me shouldn't be that strongly flavored since I want to taste the natural flavors of the fish. I did like this, but wasn't wowed. It does have some spice, which I really liked. #Volcano roll - I liked the sushi, but not the crab salad on top. It didn't taste good together since they both had strong flavors and the crab salad, which was fake would overwhelm the sushi. This sushi wasn't as flavorful as the T2 roll, but had a surprising element of sesame oil, which I enjoyed. Overall, the udon noodle soup side dish really disappointed me. I did like the crab cake and the two specialty rolls I got, but I felt like they were all very Americanized. Although I expected that, I'm still a very traditional maki person so if I do go again, I'll be trying the traditional rolls. I say the specialty rolls are good for those who like a lot of flavor and like fusion foods. Go after 8:30 pm to avoid the dinner rush and be seated right away. For me, I still prefer Asiana Noodle House and Hana for the prices and non sushi food. read more

I love Asiana. The service is prompt and always friendly. I have been a regular there for years and will remain that way! The sushi always comes out in a beautiful display, and is fresh every time. They have other great things on the menu too. It's a great date place, or a great place for small groups of friends. I also love the lychee martini. The bartenders are great. I highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

Asiana House - A great place for friends!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

The selection was pretty good. The house special vegetarian rolls sounded excellent but, as a vegetarian, I am not even remotely prepared to pay $11 for one roll. The chef on duty at 3 in the afternoon was not that great at the actual rolling. It was definitely a big step up from supermarket sushi and I did enjoy the experience. read more

This is my new favorite place. The plain wooden tables and chairs are nothing fancy, but the food is wonderful. I've had the tuna salad twice and could eat it every day. It's a composed salad with greens tossed in delicious light ginger dressing, some edamame, some avocado slices, cucumber slices, the best, freshest seaweed salad ever and a lovely piece of sesame crusted, seared tuna. Yum! I also love the fried oysters and we've had, and seen many great looking sushi dishes. For a change, I tried the kimchi tofu noodle soup. It was a huge portion and made a fine, filling lunch the next day. My boyfriend and I have gone here three times now and haven't eaten a bad bite. We plan to be regulars. The servers are pleasant and knowledgeable. Also, no sticker shock. It's reasonable! read more

a bit weary when non-japanese sushi chefs are running the show... but the rolls were surprisingly good. asiana house should be described as a standard sushi restaurant. i think other descriptions steer you the wrong way; it's not eclectic nor fusion nor trendy. the large selection of vegetarian rolls brought me here. they even offer - but i did not try - mock eel maki (made with tempeh). the puti maki (asparagus, avocado, cucumber, spinach, carrot and tofu) was good but was heavier on the cuc's and carrots. the pieces were very large as well - better off ordering as a handroll. generally, all the rolls were rice heavy but all ingredients were fresh. the wine selection was nothing exciting and overpriced, so i passed. read more

Not safe for food allergies. They assured me that handling my daughters' gluten allergy would not be a problem, then they served us a spicy tuna roll with tempura flakes rolled up in it. I had specifically requested that the tempura flakes be omitted, and they had agreed to leave them out. I guess food allergies aren't a problem for them because they ignore them. It certainly was a problem for my daughters, one of whom became very ill. read more
