Best WLM Reviews
Where to begin with this review:
1. Not greeted upon arrival, and just awkwardly standing there while staff give you looks. Eventually after a minute someone walked over to seat up.
2. The server was just plain awful. He didn't really speak to us or have any interest in us. There was a table of females that he kept going over to and spending all his time while treating the rest of the customers like we were a bother. It took 10 minutes before he came back to take our orders.
(At this point it's our mistake for having not already walked out)
3. The food....
A. We ordered the calamari app. It was the chewiest and most unsavory dish of this type I have had. Like it was just frozen in a bag that they just cook when needed.
B. The fried rice is the absolute worst rice I have had in my entire life. My partner guessed the awful taste comes from oyster sauce, which is our best guess to what could the terrible flavor.
C. The salt and pepper fish was actually good.
D. The beef and scallion was edible, but not the best.
End of review. Do not come here if you want good service. Don't order the rice. Some dishes are decent. Others are hit and miss.
Asuka Steak House has a lot going on. You can ask for Hibachi (traditional, cook at your table, Japanese steak house) or dine in (wide selection of Chinese dishes or hand rolled sushi). I arrived at 11:00 for dine in lunch and there was no wait. A full Hibachi table was already getting started. The environment is nice and fairly tidy. I stuck to the Chinese menu and ordered the Hunan chicken with rice. The food was quick and very hot. It tasted great but needed more spice to be what I consider hot. I'll ask for extra spicy next time. The portion was very large so the price being a couple dollars higher than a typical Chinese hole in the wall turned out to be fair. The service was polite and fast. I will be back to try both Hibachi and sushi.
Asuka - Bloomington, IN
Asuka is a fantastic choice for anyone craving a mix of Chinese, Japanese, and sushi options, all under one roof. The menu is extensive, offering everything from classic Chinese dishes to beautifully crafted sushi rolls, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
The special rolls are a highlight—generously sized, fresh, and packed with flavor. Sashimi was also generous. If you’re a fan of tempura, you won’t be disappointed; it’s perfectly fried to a light, crisp golden finish. Pair your meal with their hot sake, which is warm, smooth, and the ideal complement to a cozy dinner. The veggie fried rice was a very large portion and shareable for a table of 8
Best of all, the prices are very reasonable, making it easy to indulge in a feast without breaking the bank. If looking for sushi in Bloomington, you can’t go wrong with affordable pricing, and a menu that caters to a variety of tastes.
Very good food and friendly staff! Highly recommend!
I’ve been coming to Asuka for 15 years now. Over the years I’ve had poor service but generally get decent service. I tend to prefer the service and atmosphere of the hibachi chefs-they’re just generally more relaxed and personable. I like the personal dining space they offer. They have the choice of hibachi or sushi dining. I generally get the beef and broccoli, the general tsos, or a roll combo. They used to be my favorite sushi place but have gone down hill in the last 5 years. The sushi isn’t as fresh or tasty as it used to be, the salad dressing isn’t as good as it was in the past, and overall food quality is down. It’s quite unfortunate but this place isn’t a total miss. Definitely worth a visit if you’re on the east side.
Found the service friendly just had one main comment. My father and I both had the hibachi and normally think of this is coming out sizzling hot, but they plated it on a giant ceramic plate which cooled it off so by the time I stuck a fork in it was room temperature, the food was decent, but it wasn’t five star
Salad was drowning, soup was just broth
Food was really good. We got the seafood hibachi for two with noodles and it was excellent the tiger and godzilla sushi was so good. My wife got the Ramon with shrimp with bone broth and loved it. The hibachi chef was really entertaining and put on a really good show. This was our first time trying a place like this and we will be back again.
This is my Honest opinion Asuka is the very best sushi place in Bloomington! I have eaten here over 80 times and the service is always excellent, be it alone or in a large group. The sushi’s is superb! The hibachi grill is excellent and entertaining. There sushi menu is the best in town, and has a large amount of sushi and sashimi!! The size of the rolls here is also excellent!! My favorite dish is the sushi love boat for 2!! It’s amazing even for one person and is served on a large boat I have had this on 10 occasions. After eating here no other sushi place in Bloomington comes close and I have tried them all!!
