From out of town, and wanted to try this place since it was close by and stayed open later. It looked like other places we had been to where you walk up to the counter, order, and they bring it to you. Not here though. They have you go sit down, bring you menus, and you order from that. OK fine. But people were walking in off the street and ordering their food to go and getting it before we got ours. We had to wait at least 10 mins while to go orders were 5 mins max. Once we got our food, the chicken tasted like it had been boiled, then put on the grill. The rice was dry and tasted old. The sweet carrots were the highlight of the meal. We got a ton. This rating is only getting 2 stars for service and carrots.

New favorite place to eat. Just discovered it when friend and I were falling apart and needed a good meal. The regular Japanese resturant was not answering the phone, and we found Asaka instead and were led in with the low prices, got great helpings and the food tastes good! I ordered extra sauce and it came with delicious ginger dressing as well. Bonus is that they have a drive thru, so going into the old unfortunate resturant isnt a problem for take out. If we dont get sick- totally just became regular customers!

My family and I love eating here. There is something for everyone (wife is vegan). We all get plenty of food at a good price and it tastes great! Service is always nice and fast. We eat here often. And to the reviewer complaining about walk in orders getting done faster, the people walking in are picking up take out orders so of course theyre done before. They serve the food in order its received like all other businesses. First come first serve.

Food is always tasty.... i like it to go...5 stars for.quick friendly service... very cost conservative prices.... and a change from other kinds of quick foods... It feels like home cooking to me. Downside is it comes in the container that is bad for environment... cant think of the commonname for this right now.... 1star for container. Plus is much higher than container minus. I recommend it if your hungry and want good food fast.

Hated it is an understatement for this place! I got my meal through the drive thru like always so I could enjoy my meal at home, Once I got home the second bite I took something hard and sharp was in my mouth, spit it out to find that it was a nasty fingernail!!!!!! Such a tramatizing experience!!!!!! I WILL NEVER BE A CUSTOMER at this place again and I recommend that NO ONE else go there either!!!!

Asakas used to be a good place to go for a quick bite but over the years has spiraled down into crap. The final straw was this past weekend, my friends and i went and about five minutes into being in the resturant saw little bugs on the wall and a big fat RAT run out from under our table and INTO THE MAIN DINING ROOM. Will NEVER be back and have warned many people NOT to go there.

Only reason it gets two stars is because the food was actually okay, tho I questioned whether Id come away with food poisoning. Dining room did NOT smell good at all. The restaurant is junk and Ill never go back. Sorry. Server tried hard but this is just a restaurant that is WAY past its time and needs to be leveled and replaced.

Worst dining in Asheville. Sounded like cats in the kitchen. I dont know what this meat was but it isnt chicken. I kept a piece to send off to lab for testing. Found better choices on a F&I menu. Porsche people from Hickory will never forget the dish served up by Ricky. Let everybody know stay a way.

My family and I usually eat here once a week never again. The customer service from the young girl in the drive through was the poorest service I have ever seen. I order five meals she was to worried about her phone to get my order right cause only one came out. So for that this place is terrible.

Well I usually eat here once in a while and get the chicken and its great but I went last night and ordered shrimp and Id say dont get it unless you want to devain it yourself. I usually wouldnt care but it was so thick and full of poop I couldnt eat it.

Priced too high for this grade of food. LOVE rice? Then this may be a 3 star restaurant for you. But for those of us who do not eat rice, this place makes for an expensive lunch. Ive ate here 3 times, $9-14 per meal if you dont eat rice (no leftovers).

Dont know what old Andrews burr under his saddle is, but the Asaka has great food at a fair price. Locals (my wife and me included) love it, and trolls like Andrew need to just go on out I-40 and find somewhere else to be a dork at!

This is one of my favorite local hole-in-the-wall type places. The food is wonderful. Sushi is cheap but very well made, and service is quick/polite. Only downside is that it is not super clean and needs some updating/renovating.

Great food..I drive past the other Japanese restaurants and all the way across town just to get to this one. More for your money too. I usually get take out and call ahead first, so no waiting.

The food is great but the customer service was terrible. Blonde lady taking my order was incredibly rude, I felt like I was a nuisance for ordering. I will not be back unless its drive-thru.

This is a sad approximation of a hibachi restaurant. The food is perfectly edible, but "good" feels too strong a description. If you need hibachi in a pinch it works.

Great food for the price, usually have lunch with my wife on her break. Never had a problem with the food, only issue Ive had is they dont have Dr Pepper.

This is definitely one of those restaurants that is mostly for takeout but the food is amazing just wish they had more appetizers other than sushi

Over 40 minute wait. After calling ahead, then going through the drive through and paying, THEN we had to wait over 40 minutes. Rediculous.

There was more than enough food and it tasted heavenly. I was only visiting the city but I would come back again just for this restaurant
