Asahi Japanese 508 Incorporated

I attempted to dine at this restaurant twice over the weekend, but they were only offering take-out services. However, Alto Cinco and Recess Coffee were both open for business, so we decided to eat there instead.

The pricing was good , staff friendly , selection plentiful, would go back for the all you can eat again! When you go in to eat, you do have to mention the all you can eat option to receive the appropriate menus

I've really enjoyed grabbing lunch here while I'm out and about. I'm not sure what they were like before COVID, but it's take-out only, despite having a reasonably large space. They'll usually have the orders sitting on a table near the front door, while the employees tend to hang out way in the back by the kitchen. There are lots of tables and surface space, which are basically open storage for to-go containers and things like that.As far as their sushi, it's some of the best I've had in town. I'm not an expert by any means, but I've come by plenty of times for some sushi between meals. Impromptu sushi runs like this are great for celebrating good days, or mourning bad ones. I love the packaging they use, but I usually wish I had asked for so much more soy sauce and wasabi than they gave me. There's a lot of great stuff on this menu I can't recommend enough.The entrées and other food items I'm not as crazy about. Pricewise, there are a lot of great deals. I love getting sushi and gyoza and a basic salad or miso soup with whatever I order. I will say though of all the entrées I've tried, the one that really grabbed me was the teriyaki salmon. So perfectly crispy and they really nailed it with the sauce. The chicken katsu was pretty plain. And the beef curry was incredibly bland, and the beef was pretty tough. I didn't even save my leftovers from that, it just wasn't a good choice.My girlfriend is Korean, and we usually avoid ordering Korean stuff since we make it all the time at home and can almost always make it better. I wanted to try something Korean for the review, so we threw in some Budae Jjigae on top of one of our orders. It was actually made really well. It tasted a lot like something we would have made at home, just minus most of the spice.You have to try the sushi, that's not optional. And even if the other food isn't the best in town, there's some good combos that will leave you with good variety at a great price.

Limited menu. Hopefully they have a good resurgence after the university is back in the fall.

This restaurant offers the best authentic taste, but the ordering experience can be frustrating as they do not offer delivery. Despite the great food, the service is lacking as they only accept online orders and refuse to accommodate any other form of payment. It is important to be aware of these limitations when planning to place an order. Despite my efforts to resolve the issue, the ordering process remains difficult and time-consuming.
