Great family owned restaurant. I'm here fairly often, 4-5 times a month, because the food is good and the family is friendly. My family enjoys it because it is essentially four restaurants in one: sushi, teriyaki, udon, and great Thai food read more

First time coming here in a while... Ordered one of their beef entres for take-out. When I got home, I saw it was barely any food at all--it filled up only about 1/3 of a regular bowl and had about 7 small pieces of meat (see attached pic). Really disappointing experience. I can't believe they would give such small portions--ended the night very hungry. read more

Absolutely loved this Thai spot! First time here because I use Yelp to find restaurants and this restaurant is "hidden" behind the Indian place (also excellent) next door. I always try my two favorite dishes anytime I try a new Thai place. The Pad See Ew was outstanding--the noodles were wide, chewy, and clearly freshly made. You could taste the wok-fired flavor in every bite, with just the right balance of soy sauce and sweetness. Almost like the sauce was glazed to each noodle. The broccoli had a perfect crunch, and the beef was tender and well-marinated. The Pad Thai was just as impressive. The noodles were springy and not overly sauced, letting the freshness of the ingredients shine. The tamarind flavor was balanced and authentic, with a subtle tang that paired beautifully with the crushed peanuts. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. There are so many ways to prepare this dish and this preparation was excellent! Highly recommend this place--these are two of the best versions of Pad See Ew and Pad Thai I've had in a long time. read more

Delicious food, good vibe friendly customers service, strongly recommend with many variety of Japanese and Thai food you can ask for.

I like that Nick is part of my family community. We try to visit and get take out from him once a week. We have never been disappointed. The food is fresh and delicious. We always look forward to our meals there. The Pnang Curry is totally delicious. His sushi rolls are refreshing and scrumptious. Best kept secret in Redwood city, I want everyone to go and support Asya in Emerald Hills. read more

The service was a little slow when we arrived, but was OK after we gave our order. I thought the food was good for the price. The ambiance was nothing special, but at least it was not terribly packed with tables. For an out-of-the-way location, I thought it was a good option. read more

I very rarely leave a restaurant feeling distressed, but there were a lot of issues here when we stopped by for lunch. I think one in isolation is already stressful but there were just too many in succession. The lack of cleanliness was a big issue here. We looked up and saw huge spiderwebs and cobwebs above the front door inside. That was rather gross and hinted that the restaurant may not be that thorough about cleaning. My husband was absolutely disgusted by this. Next, the serving ware was a bit dirty. My husband had this gross stain on his water cup near the lip, so he asked for another one. The waiter was about to bring over a second cup when he noticed that too was dirty so he had to go back again to get another cup. That was unsettling. The new cup was actually still dirty but at least it wasn't near the lip of the cup. The water was in those big glass bottles that you pour yourself. I noticed that the rubber top (that touches the water) had a ton of black spots. That indicates mold and/or dirt which was pretty gross. I should have asked for a new bottle but I think I was just so shell shocked from the rest of the stuff that I forgot to ask. Next, they gave my husband the wrong dish despite the two dishes not sounding alike. They quickly rectified it which was good. They also initially gave my husband miso soup and we thought it was part of his meal since we didn't order it. However when we got the bill, they charged us for the miso soup. We had to briefly argue that we didn't order it; we ate it because they gave it to us and they finally agreed to take it off the receipt. Rice is not included with curry and so that was an extra $4 which was also a bit pricey. The yellow curry portion was very large to my surprise. However this was one of the most watery Thai curries I have ever eaten and I eat a lot of Thai curries. It was too bad because I actually thought the flavor was decent though. Chicken was also a tiny bit dry. The green curry roti is not bad though. I liked the curry sauce. All in all I was just disappointed with our lunch experience and won't be back anytime soon. I'm kind of upset because I remember going to Asya (same logo, I checked!) back when they were in San Carlos and Ioved it back then. Not sure if ownership has changed or what. read more

Arguably the best hidden secret in the Bay Area. Small little restaurant in the community shopping center off Oak Knoll in redwood city. Family owned and operated. There's just a difference you can't fake when the owner himself is preparing the sushi in front of you. Nick is the absolute best and I promise ask him to make you a chefs choice sushi roll and watch as you fall in love. read more

I don't even know where to begin! We walked in half of the tables were not cleaned very unsanitary! We sat down and we waited for over 1 hour for our food to be delivered. The server seemed bothered when we were ordering he kept saying, "No! No! No!" To everything we asked for! Horrible spot!! And on top of that when we got our food, they served us the wrong items!! I came here hungry and left hungry!! read more

We devoured the rolls and chirashi bowl before I realized I didn't take a photo. We ordered takeout and had the Kaigen Special Roll, Kiss on Fire, Rainbow Roll, Tempura Roll (for toddler), Chirashi bowl, salmon nigiri and hamachi nigiri. Food was fresh and delicious. Our favorite is definitely their Kaigen special roll but all rolls tasted amazing and the quality was fantastic. We will be back to try more of what you have to offer. Thank you! read more

Asya - Kiss on Fire. 3 - Japanese Near Me - Redwood City, California

This place totally deserves more business than it receives! Very friendly service all around and a sushi chef who really prides himself in his work. I came on a weekday around lunch time and there was only 1 other person eating here. Very clean restaurant with a comfortable ambiance. I ordered a chirashi bowl that was meticulously created and beautifully presented. The sushi was so fresh and my belly was happy with the portions. I would definitely come back and eat here again! read more

Asya - a close up of a plate of food - Japanese Near Me - Redwood City, California

This about the 4th time I've come to this restaurant. They are not providing a nice portion of food, so I'm writing this review. Tonight we ordered to go: Tom Ka Kai soup- it was good. Nothing to write home about, but tasty. Seems weird that there are tomatoes in it. Pad see ew- tasty, perfect blend of flavors, nice noodle to meat ration, but only about 4 pieces of broccoli and about the same number of slivered carrots. I feel like there should be more veggies. Papaya salad- dressing/sauce tasted good, but really only papaya and no other garnishments except a large chunk of wilted lettuce filler. I cut it up at home to make sure that we had a enough salad to share since the portion was quite small. Panang chicken- this has me irritated. The sauce is a bit watery, so the flavor isn't as concentrated. I like that it's not too sweet, though. What I'm really unhappy about is that it's basically a pepper panang. The amount of chicken is minuscule. The amount is so minuscule that I had to call the restaurant to complain. Skimping on the meat seems to be quite the theme with this place since last time I ordered the shaking beef and it also lacked the fair portion of meat. Very annoying. One order of rice- it was loosely packed so I am not happy about this. For goodness sakes if you are going to skimp on portions, at least provide enough rice to fill the box. I called and spoke with either the manager or owner. I explained my disappointment and he apologized, but this is the second time that I've been compelled to actually call to complain. read more

I have been coming here for years. Great food! I love the avocado roll and pad see ew! Check this place out if youre in the mood for great sushi or Thai food. Staff are very friendly. Hand sanitizer is provided inside :) read more

We've been looking for a nice, mid week "I'm in the mood for sushi" place with very good quality and reasonable prices and we definitely found it here. We ordered 5 specialty rolls and the tempura. Plenty of food for 2 with leftovers for $70. We will definitely go back. read more

It was empty when I went so that concerned me a little. But the food was decent (maybe little on the salty side)

Great food, great prices. A local treasure! I love the sushi and the Thai dishes. Drunken noodles and Pa Nang Curry with salmon are two of my favorites! read more

The food was excellent, the service was excellent, but the door that wouldn't stay shut in the wind was annoying.

Call them for take outs. They are sooooo good! Friendly, clean, and good sashimi, sushi, bento box. You ! go wrong. Just call then come pick it up read more

Asya has excellent food, service, and staff. This will be a go to spot for me! The quality and cleanliness stood out as well. I would recommend ordering ahead of time to continue what they've done phenomenally with, in terms of social distancing. Great all around Asya; thank you! read more

Ordered pickup through Uber Eats, order went through, then even said the food was ready, but when I got there the restaurant was completely closed! Contacted the restaurant later and they just said they're always closed on Sundays, but online it said they were open. Won't go again read more

I spent almost $100 dollars on take out and the portions that came were ridiculously small. Will not be ordering again as this was brutal... Try charm thai eatery for infinitely better Thai food. read more

Smallest portion of beef teriyaki I've ever seen in their bento box. Service moved at snail pace. All of their sushi rolls had the same cupi mayo sriracha sauce. Cannot recommend this spot. read more

**REVIEW IS FOR THOSE WITH PEANUT ALLERGIES AND ONLY FOR ORDER THROUGH WAITER.COM** I ordered the chicken teriyaki lunch special with rice and side salad to work today through waiter.com. Unfortunately the moment I took a bite out of the salad I knew something was wrong. Instantly received an allergic reaction. The menu only has no indication that peanut butter (the most common allergy) is in the salad dressing. This is warning to all of my fellow peanut allergy folks to BEWARE of the dressing. ALL food places should EXPLICITLY list when an item has peanuts in it, or any common allergy. read more

Good sushi. This is our neighborhood sushi place and we have never been disappointed. Food is as good or better than the downtown ones. Sushi is handmade fresh for your order, flavors are well balanced, attractive presentation. We've tried many other dishes, rice dishes, curry, bento box, veggie deluxe sushi. Good options, all tasty. The only reason I don't give Asya 5 stars is that the ambiance is basic. read more

Came here for the first time to have a belated birthday dinner. Really enjoyed the variety. Casual restaurant in the neighborhood where I didn't know any businesses existed. read more

We moved to the area about a year ago and just discovered this hidden gem! We ordered the vegetarian pad Thai, vegetarian yellow curry and the avocado roll - all were delicious and for less than $40 total! The ambiance is quiet and calm, and our server was very friendly. We're excited to come back and try some more dishes and support this local business! read more

This is probably my favorite Sushi place!!! I called about 40 min to when they close really craving sushi and asked them if it was too late to pick up . For whatever reason I couldn't find their full menu so I didn't know what to order except "the pink lady roll." One of the employees there if not the manager sent me a text pic of their full menu! & They went above and beyond to make sure I could get my sushi! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT read more

Regretting not trying this place earlier. Pass by all the time but never thought such a small place could actually deliver on a pretty wide ranging menu...but they can and did. So glad I finally came to my senses (based on other reviews). Very tasty food. Loved everything (egg rolls, eggplant, fried rice and beef satay). Will be going back regularly as now this will be in my restaurant rotation. read more

Our favorite Thai place- truly a hidden gem. Especially love their ceviche tacos (not Thai but delicious!) Favorites include their pad Thai and red curry. read more

Amazing sushi and Thai food. We have gotten take out from here every week for the last year and its consistently great food and friendly service. They're great and very accommodating to families. We always get the drunken noodles, Thai red curry and a few rolls (four seasons, spicy hamachi). We love that you can get Thai and sushi at the same place. A must try, especially if you live in the area. This place is amazing. read more

Wonderful, fast, fresh and very good sushi. Hidden gem in Emerald Hills. I'm happy this is in walking distance from our house. I would recommend this sushi house to anyone.

I've eaten sushi for years at 894 Laurel in San Carlos, but it apparently closed, so I had to find a replacement (I eat sushi A LOT). I tried several different places that were terrible, then came upon Asya. This is VERY GOOD sushi and has good teriyaki and other great Thai food selections as well. I'm so happy I found a place with good quality comparable to my old favorite. The prices are reasonable too! This is my new favorite. Thank you Asya! read more

I had one of those great nights were I just wanted to take myself out on a date and enjoy sushi. The service was soo great here it was like getting a massage. Y'know in the sense that it was soothing and calming. I watched an awards show. I was the only one here until a bunch of people decided to join. sheez well it does get busy so I musta got lucky for a bit ha. This is a great place and the prices aren't bad either. I love the location. It's pretty quaint. read more

Why would you open a second location when the original one in San Carlos isn't doing well and hasn't for a long time? It was a warm Thursday evening when most restaurants were full of people trying to stay cool by eating out. We had the same idea, but to our surprise, this place was empty with one guy waiting for take out. My honey and I sat at the austere looking sushi bar- nothing but a white painted wall, a flat screen to the right and a guy we recognized from the San Carlos spot. It was the feeling of just moving in with nothing but the furniture in place. Because there were no other patrons present the entire time, the servers hovered behind us much of the time ready to take or serve a dish. It was a bit awkward although I'm sure they didn't intend. The sushi? I think the grocery store variety can compete. The sashimi plate is decent. Don't expect all buttery textures. It's hard to mess up miso soup. So it was like every where else. The salmon skin handroll is simply that. -just a bit of salmon, the skin and some sushi rice rolled up in seaweed. It was the most underwhelming, basic handroll I've ever had. As we were wrapping it up, the guy we recognized kindly gave us a couple sashimi creations with tobiko and green onion. This was the best part of the meal. Too bad we were finished with the bill on the way and already decided on a verdict. The stale atmosphere and lackluster sushi is nothing new. They're friendly and can get by here maybe just like their original location on Laurel St which equally leaves more to be desired. read more

Outstanding sushi with generous portions. They also offer several Thai dishes. It's a little family owned place in the Emerald Hills neighborhood of Redwood City. Nothing fancy, just excellent food and good value. read more

New addition to Emerald Hills market area. Very solid neighborhood sushi. Number of excellent rolls, good selection of sashimi and nigiri, and good variety of hot plates/ noodles/ donburi. Orders are prepared promptly and actually on-time for pickup (take notes, Oh Baby Sushi...). Good add and already showing improvement over early efforts. read more
