Soggy tempura
Rich R.

I'd you order it to go, Pay attention. I ordered mine to go - had a drink at the bar- and had to keep asking when it would be ready because 45 minutes later and two drinks at the bar for an appetizer and a roll of sushi to go seemed exceedingly long. They finally located order and I got home and the shrimp tempura was soggy and so was the sushi roll, almost as if it was the leftover. This is the second time this has happened to me. I should've learned the first time I thought I would give it a second chance. There won't be a third chance at this place..

First time here at the recommendation of some friends. Didn't see the negative reviews until after we had finished. Everything was great including steak, shrimp, veggies, rice, clear soup, fried rice. Salad was very fresh. Nothing to improve on, so I can't quite understand the negative reviews. We will definitely be back.

Chicken teriyaki
Emi M.

After my first visit to Asuka I was just not blown away- the best way to put it would be, there was nothing really remarkable or special about this place. I went there for lunch on a Sunday. There were plenty of tables available and so service was relatively fast. Compared with a few Japanese restaurants I like in Nashville and Murfreesboro, this place does not seem to offer entirely authentic Japanese cuisine- it doesn't mean the food doesn't taste good. It does. It's just that If you want authentic, I'd go somewhere else. I had chicken teriyaki, which came with loads of grilled onion beneath it. I had it with some fried rice. They were tardy, but not something That amazes me. On par with any other Japanese restaurants in Franklin/ Spring Hill area. Service was good, but one of the servers was wearing track pants which I thought was a little weird. Considering the price being on expensive side, I will probably not go back. With those prices I would expect something more that stands out and memorable. Unfortunately Everything about this place was just "ok".

Steak and Chicken Lunch Combo with Noodles (Fried Rice never came out)
Brandon W.

All previous reviews of lackluster service are DEAD ON. I was seated quickly and my order was taken quickly. I received my food which was pretty good about a 6/10 it just lacked a lot of flavor it was plain. After I received my food I never saw my waiter again. No refill, no check ups, my fried rice never came out and I had to ask for it from the lady who came to give me my check. Food was decent but it was cancelled out by awful service. I wouldn't personally recommend it if you value decent service when you go out to eat. I'm only giving two stars because the part of my meal that came out was good

Eat a the hibachi tables for the best meal. Sometimes the regular dining tables get poor service, but the food is always great!

Quick dip into this joint for some sushi for lunch. Been a long time since trying this place…read more Ordered the sashimi platter, miso soup and ginger salad and then a spicy crunchy crab roll. Miso soup was warm just a little to much tofu cubes for my taste. Ginger salad was spot on, loved it. Sashimi platter looked nice for presentation and taste was really good. The spicy crunchy crab roll was great tasting. Used it for my desert today. Sat at the sushi bar for ambiance. Service was good. Sashimi platter came up fast. So service was good.

Happy hour still fantastic! Unlike before, I like their Milk…read moreTea (Tarro flavor is my favorite!) But.... I'm mad! What happened with the salad?! It still lists for $3.25 on the menu, and they bring out the equivalent of one piece of chopped lettuce in a condiment size bowl! Total rip off! It was already a very small portion, and now, not even enough to wet your whistle! Fulin's should be ashamed to serve the mini cup size and not even lower the price! I will NOT support such a poor move on their part and purchase the salad again, unless they go back to the original size or lower the price a couple of dollars for the amount they served me today! There are similar places around, where I can still pay the same price I used to and get what is actually called a "salad." I refuse to pay for one piece of lettuce, and I question whether it was a whole piece, at that! Plus, they didn't even fill the measly bowl. Wish I could still give a 4 star rating, but quantity has gone down. Some of you may say, it's just a freaking salad. Others that look forward to this being one of their favorite things on the menu, will understand. IYKYK

Be sure to check out this gem! Sunday means all-day happy hour, and my friend and I celebrated…read moreGalentine's here and it was the perfect vibe for it. The service was some of the best we've had: attentive, warm, and so generous. I couldn't decide between the house salad and the miso soup (both sounded amazing), and they kindly surprised me with a house salad topped with their housemade dressing, such a thoughtful touch. The miso soup was stellar, too. We started with the mango crab rangoons (highly recommend), then ordered a mix of rolls: two cooked: the Hotel Cali and Tidal Wave and two vegan: the Eden (a must!) and the Cowgirl. Every single one was delicious. To drink, we loved the China Doll and the Sangria Spritz cocktails. The lighting and overall mood of the restaurant i beautiful, warm, cozy, and perfect for lingering. We'll absolutely be back!

The food is delicious, they have a great happy hour but the service from the bartenders is woefully…read moredisappointing. I've been a couple times and each time the bartenders are lacking in friendliness, accuracy, and efficiency. It seems that they pay more attention to the service bar and chatting with each other, it's surprising to me that management doesn't notice the bar is in need of supervision and improvement. I've had to to get my own napkins, chopsticks, and even had a food runner drop off my food to a couple sitting beside me and scurry away before any of us could tell her that she made a mistake ‍. It's possible that the service is better at the tables though, I sit at the bar because I go solo. Still, the food and ambiance are worth a visit, I will be back...the chargrilled edamame is delicious!
