Asuka Japanese Cuisine in St Thomas

Very good food, service and atmosphere.

The best sushi in St. Thomas!! All the rolls, sushi and sashimi are always fresh, the hot items are packed with flavour and the service is always friendly. Sometimes a little slow, but we love the laid back atmosphere and the consistency in quality.

Never order take out there. Portions are tiny. They are under staffed especially on Saturdays, when it should be more staffed. Food was dry. Never again I will order from here. Disappointed

Excellent food, great variety and wonderful service. Thank you.

First time ever at this place. Beckie was amazing that lady deserves a raise

I never leave reviews but I literally sat for two hours and saw my waitress twice. Absolutely awful service. Cant even say anything good ...sorry I really really tried to like it. Get better help. The place is dead and the service to awful. Like I said please be better.

Worst place to eat the sashimi was dry and tasteless,the service was the worst took more than 20 min just to get my order (not the servers fault only one person working as server in the whole restaurant)then brought one udon soup and one order of sashimi and for next 30 min didn t bring the rest of the order was there for more than 1.5 hr and ate 2 sushi one noodle and one order of sashimi the rest of the time I was waiting

I really enjoyed the food

You ll wait a couple of hours before your order potentially arrives.

Really disappointed with todays customer service. Usually they are good but this time they were horrible. The owner seems to be rude. Throwing everything in our face. Even the food was not the greatest as it used to be. Will not be returning.

My husband and I and our friends all frequent Asukas and have yet to have a bad experience, the sushi is quality, the service friendly and the price for all you can eat very reasonable

Fantastic food, the waitresses were absolutely wonderful BUT! The owners take the severs tips! If you come here, tip the girls in cash! They have rent to pay as well

Fantastic dinner with lovely staff! Theyre fantastic with kids, quick to bring out excellent food, and attentive without being overbearing.

so extremely over priced, 80$ for 2 people, used to be 30$.

food was so expensive, got the buffet with my girlfriend and it was $80

Still our favourite place to go! Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian options! Parking: Lots of spots out back if you cant find any in the abundance of parking across the street Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome! Wheelchair accessibility: Not really wheelchair accessible, there are steps out front and out back

Always fresh and amazing staff!

I personally didnt like there pai tai

Honestly ild pick here over places in London it s that good the staff are always chill and the one waitress has the patience of a saint dealing with costumers I wanted to yell at for being rude to her with such grace

The food here is really good but sometimes it can be a bit dry but other than that it s great.The service is really good,They all are kind and sweet. This place also makes me feel safe and comfortable.

Great sushi and great staff!

Went for the all you can eat sushi....but they didnt have the option....

Highly recommended Good food good service!! :) Food

Reasonable price and great service

Always awesome!

Very slow service

Used to be our go-to sushi spot in St Thomas. Food was good and prices were reasonable, especially when compared to the other sushi spot in town. Called to order take-out last night and our usual order has gone from $62 to $84. At some point we have to say no to these insane price increases.

Best place for sushi! Super fresh and tasty! Server is friendly.

Food was bad. Service was none existent. Nothing like waiting 40min in between getting items. I thought with all the good reviews this place would be amazing but now Im starting to think they pay to get reviews.

We frequently eat at Asuka and have had nothing but exceptional experiences! Last night was no acception. The owner went above and beyond to make our daughter feel welcome. Our 4 year old was showing an extreme interest in the dolls that are used for decoration so she set one on our table for her to look at while eating dinner. She then let our daughter pick and bring one home! The food was great and the service is always friendly and inviting! Would definetly recommend!

Its the best place Ive ever wanted there and i loved it so much i maybe want to work the when im older

I love the food it is delicious and I would go here many times

Lobe this place.

Good food,and a very good hospitality

Awesome sushi, great tempura, and I could live off of their rice.

My favorite sushi for miles around. Dietary restrictions: Many options for low carb foods Food : 5/5 |

Four of us attended around 5pm on a Saturday. The first red flag ought to have been the single guy making sushi behind the counter. They were quick to bring out a few fried foods, but after an hour we had to ask where our food was because we had a show to get to. In the span of about 5 minutes they had sushi rolls at our table. The rolls were decent, and the sashimi (salmon and butterfish) were both fresh enough. The service, when delivered, was brought with the opposite of a smile with no knowledge of the food that was being delivered. It could have been sesame chicken we ate, but no one will ever know. After initial beverage delivery no additional beverages were offered or received until asking at approximately the 1hr10min mark. We went because the reviews said 4.5 stars so maybe we got them on an exceptionally bad knight, or maybe I m just asuka.

Came for dine in and it was excellent.. pricey for small eaters though.. I cant do five stars because I did take-out a week or so later ..the sushi was great but it was very disappointing that the sesame chicken was old tasting, chewy, dry and definitely seemed microwaved... Not sure if Ill ever do take-out again but definitely came back for dine-in. It wasnt full in there and it was fast and excellent ...I love Asuka!

Absolutely the best place in Elgin County for sushi. The sushi is fresh, priced fairly and the service is great. You can tell the owners really care!!!

Always a great time at Asuka. Great food and service. It s always a place I recommend to people who enjoy this cuisine!

Good place and good service.

delicious fresh food, friendly service! would definetely eat there again. great deal on all you can eat lunch.

so good... good service ... good food

I generally have many good experiences here. The food is great, not too much rice on your rolls (which is a bonus). My husband and I have been coming here since we moved to St Thomas and havent been disappointed yet. Only thing Id like to see is better lighting and more servers when its busy and maybe more selection for those who arent really fish eaters. But all and all. A great place.

Always fresh! Love to go for sushi lunches with the kids and my friends, it costs a bit less at lunch but very good value for money. There are a number of North American dishes available on the all you can eat menu but the majority of items are Japanese. I love the sweet potato sushi and the tempura items are very tasty.

Absolutely the best sushi place Ive been to. Fresh, great veriety and friendly customer service.

this is one of my favourite places to eat just because of the nostalgia. it just gives me great feelings whenever i go, and it s always super yummy. staff are so kind and helpful as well, and very attentive.

Not worth the price... bad survice. Takes forever to get the food, and I gave them three chances. Took an hour for 3 items....

Great service and I LOVE the all u can eat!

Best sushi you can find in this city, love going here to eat. Lots of selection and also all you can eat!

I was very pleasantly surprised with my visit to this restaurant.

Food is awesome. You are a little lunch time. Youre still hungry you order some more its all made fresh. By far the best restaurant in St Thomas. Kid-friendliness: Everybodys welcome! Wheelchair accessibility: Not really accessible you have to go up a set of stairs

Edit: was hesitant to visit today after my last review, however; the quality of everything has improved. The sashimi and sushi were great and tasty, the beef and chicken dishes both the teriyaki and teppanyaki were tender and flavourful. The tempura was light and crispy. I was happy with my visit. The fish dishes were okay, but not up to the quality Asuka used to have. All of the beef dishes were over cooked and full of gristle. The Maki rolls were nice, but the hand roll wasnt that good. I think Ill drive to London next time for sushi. Shame, I used to really like Asuka.

We had an early dinner. 4pm. The service was great and the food even better. No fancy tablets or motorized servers, and the staff was very helpful and knowledgeable with helping with our food choices!

We had the All You Can Eat Sushi, for 4 people and two small kids. Food was ok, service was ok. The waitress asked if we wanted a high chair and brought it promptly. Food was delivered hot and fast. The vibe was almost like a fast food or self-serve place. Not great decor or atmosphere but very spacious.

Excellent food. Really enjoyed everything we ordered. From the tempuras, to tepenyaki, to sushi to the ice creams. Fantastic service. Ambience could be better, especially for the price.

Great food and fast service

Food was great!! Fresh and delicious.

They don t disappoint at all each time I order for my family.. it s better than the last so fresh and taste.. awesome customer service.. love it every time..

Good service

Food is delicious , service is fast . Never had an issue in the 5 years Ive been going :)

Today was my first time ever trying Asuka, and it was incredible! The food was delicious, the staff was so friendly! I will definitely be coming back! :)

Always Amazing. This family run Sushi is a monthly stop for my family. Just fast friendly service with a smile.

Interesting place, good sushi and fish items. The meat dishes left a lot to be desired. Excellent selection with an insane variety.

This was a first time experience for us and we traveled from London. It was most definitely worth the drive as the food was spectacular and presentation was spot on with the sushi. Service was mediocre as there were two young servers and one woman who appeared to be there boss or incharge. It took a really long time to get our tea and drinks right away and had to ask a second time. They were very apologetic and I understand they were young and new and personally with more experience the two girls will make very decent servers. The dinner AYCE was 31 dollars and I have no issues paying this for descent sushi. We have a young daughter and it was very easy to find her menu items to leave fully satisfied as well. We will most definitely be back and I hope to raise this to a 5 star.

What a great find! Met a friend here for some all-you-can-eat sushi and was very impressed with the selection, the quick service, and the friendly staff.

Everything about this establishment was great and inviting, our server was very nice and accommodating. Thank you for your service today

Always a pretty great experience here, food is prompt and tastes delicious. Sometimes, the staff does get overwhelmed, but coming out of the pandemic, I can understand that. Great service and I highly recommend trying Asuka in St.Thomas!

This place is the best sushi place in the region hands down. Asuka s consistency is always spectacular, every meal there is top notch quality. Extremely pleased to have such a great restaurant in St.Thomas.

This was an amazing sushi place!! The price is for all you can eat and it didnt disappoint!! My 2 sons and I were sooo pleased with the prompt, quick and delicious service. We cannot wait to go back again!!!

Great food nice people quite and clean

Love going here for sushi, etc.

First time for me to eat Sushi. Many choices of seafood and chicken and red meats. Be willing to step out of your comfort zone. Very tasty.

Always great service and great sushi! Our favorite place to go.

The rolls are getting very small, but the price is not.

Great food, good service, always fresh!!!

Food was plenty, delicious, and great variety.

I ordered the chicken Katsu and it didnt fail me (cant really get breaded and fried chicken wrong), the rice could have been better but it is what it is.

Amazing, been going here for the past few years.

First time going , we have to say it was one of the best sushi we have ever had . The handrolls were by far the best Ive ever had ! Very fresh and flavourful. Great service and highly reccomend.

Great service even better sushi

Always delicious!

Food isn t bad at all but the service is slower than the second coming of Christ. The place is half empty (and it s small to begin with) so it s not busy at all but still takes forever to get food. There also no parking lot for the restaurant but there is a lot across the road. I will not be returning to this establishment to pay top prices for almost nonexistent service.

Amazing as usual!!!!

Best sushi been going for years love the place

Really great staff damn good cheese Wontons

I tried the all you can eat menu. The portions are understandably small (you get try a bigger variety), but everything was lukewarm. The soup was not hot. The prices are average (~36 for dinner). It is alright, but not the best. Vegetarian options: There is plenty: vegetables, rice, udon, tofu, eggplant, ...

I went here because of all the reviews. This is a lower than mid restaurant. The rolls are not fresh, the rice tasted it was days old.

Server was excellent and very knowledgeable. Our first time and she explained everything so well! Food was so good. Will definitely be back.

Good food

Good sushi. Competitive pricing. Not much to write home about Kid-friendliness: Child pricing is available Food : 4/5 |

Always Fresh, always delicious, friendly staff, great price Parking: Parking in front and behind.

So I love this place. So does my family. Food is always delicious. Strangely more so at supper time. Not sure why haha. Theyre very kind. I love the owner, she is so sweet. We will always continue to eat here. So many options. We love all you can eat.

Asuka is hands down the best Sushi place around, I ve tried so many places in London and other cities and Asuka is the only place that is consistently excellent. We often just get take out and it s always fresh, delicious, and fast! The staff is friendly, when dining in it s always great and quick service too. We love this place and it continues to be where we think of when we want to treat ourselves to a fancy and delicious dinner.

Good food!

Dude

Amazing as always ! Great service. Highly recommend.

Good food, the young lady that served us was very pleasant and attentive.

Excellent all you can eat or ala cart. Fresh tasty ingredients and wonderful staff.

Very clean, friendly staff , very fresh and delicious food .

Great food, good prices for the buffet. Highly recommended!

Amazing service and great quality sushi. Recently ordered two massive separate orders from there and they were quick, correct and amazing. They always remember my spicy mayo on the side, and we ve never gotten our order incorrectly. Will continue to go back and share my great experiences with others :)

Amazing everytime !!!!

Great food with good service, highly recommend to order take out from this restaurant!

Very nice take-out experience!

These folks always do it right. We order from here as a special date night treat and its legitimately the best sushi weve ever had. The staff is amazing as well, very kind and courteous, very fast... We just love this place, its the best. Prices for takeout are competitive as well.

Delicious take out sushi! We miss eating in here (closed due to COVID) but they have made it just as amazing to eat at home!

Good food! Prices were a little higher than what we are used to paying for similar food, but overall good.

I enough the food very much here and the quality is still the same after three years between visit

Fresh and tasty eat all you can eat dinner buffet! Friendly staff and great service! Clean restaurant and washroom

Seems like this place went downhill. We where there for an hour and fourth five minutes. It seems like they changed/ cheapend the rolls. Red and black dragon where diffrent. Kamakachi roll was so small compared to what I remember. The table next to us ordered after us and got their food before us. We finally got our food but it was 1/4 of what we ordered,then twenty min later we got another 1/4 and the pattern continued with very small portions. It was just frustrating, we left irritated and unsatisfied. Asuka used to be my fav sushi place but Im not going back.

They tend to be a bit slow on orders for pick up. Tasty food though. The process of ordering over the phone is a bit painful, and they have a hard time understanding you. They dont have any Maki rolls with tempura and non spicy Salmon.

Theyre pretty quick with preparing the orders when you call ahead and food tastes fresh. Reasonable price as well.

Great food. Staff is on point

food is excellent

The food was very yummy.and the service was excellent.

WORKERS DONT SPEAK ENGLISH

Ordered for the first time recently, and was very happy with the quality! Tried the maki tray. Food was ready for pickup and was cooked prepared wonderfully. Will definitely go back again and would recommend.

Great food

Great burritos, the tortilla was a bit weird, but over all tastey food.

Service is amazing, price unbeatable, and they are local. I love coming to this place!

Great place to eat! Presentation was spectacular, food was awesome, great prices and the staff was amazing. Definitely will be back!

Amazing taste & quality. Service was quick & friendly. Highly recommended & will definitely be going back! Especially for the mango rolls

Very friendly, excellent waitress. Food is delicious and the price is fair.

Wonderful food, everything fresh. Freshly fried and very tasty. Clean place, excellent service. I loved

Ive been meaning to eat here since I moved to St. Thomas a couple months ago.. we finally got takeout tonight and I am currently enjoying the most beautifully crafted sushi Ive had in years. Thank you for a wonderful meal!! Well definitely be repeat customers!

Had a great dinner at Asuka. We had the Bento box summer meal, one with Salmon and the other with Beef teriyaki. Came with soup and a salad. $15.95 each.

Best place for Japanese food in St. T

This place is so good. My husband and I go at least once a month. The service is great and the food is amazing. Always fresh. I recommend this place to all my friends and family.

Pretty decent meal, the miso soup could have used a bit more seasoning to really bring out the flavour.

Amazing food

Love the food. Always fresh and tasty

High quality and delicious food. The hot food is the best for any sushi place I have ever tried. The sushi and sashimi is also incredible. Fast customer service in busy days.

Food is amazing

I thought it was pretty good its a family-owned restaurant the service is a tad slow they should maybe hire another waitress

The place is always packed. The staff are very nice.

Great food period

Food is amazing! Waitress Vivian is super helpful when asked the difference between the rolls and offers great service.

Very Slow and inattentive service. Had to remind server for drinks multiple times. Appetizers were very good as where most of the rolls, how ever the Beef Terriyaki was horrid and Unagi was nothing to write home about. Not sure if it was an off night or if this is the norm?

You cant go wrong with this all you can eat venue. Everything is made to order and its very easy to to be here for a couple hours trying the extremely expensive menu. The black dragon roll is my personal favourite, plus they have more contemporary options for people that are new to Japanese cuisine, even having some traditional north American options if you have a child (or friend) that is a picky eater.

Absolutely amazing food. Fantastic service.

Family run business with incredibly delicious sushi. The staff are wonderful! Every trip there is a delight. This is literally the best sushi Ive had anywhere.

Outstanding sushi restaurant with friendly service.

Party tray was a hit! So many yummy options. Very nicevtray, great food, good orice and lots of wasabi and soya sauce

tasty

Yum Yum Yummy Yum I love eating here!! I usually eat wayyyy too much though. Its just because its so yummy!! I go to a place in London too but Asuka just tastes more authentic. Cant say enough about this place. Service is awesome - prices are fair - food is exceptional and I always leave stuffed Ive even started getting takeaway from them!

Very unhappy google said open went to the doors and sign says open was very disappointed cause I drovd from tillsonburg.

So yummy love the tempura. Can t wait until they open up again

Not bad

Best sushi around. Miss the all you can eat :(

First go at sushi and what a delicious delight it was.

Since Covid-19 we ve not been back but have ordered to-go...food is so great!

Best sushi restaurant Ive EVER had by far, so fresh and good decently priced

Delicious food and friendly service. Vivian the owner is very friendly and helpful. Best sushi ever!

This place is amazing the food is excellent with outstanding Service this is definitely the place best to go

Love love love, great food, lot of choices, great service.

Service was extremely slow, food was much lesser quality than other competitor sushi buffets in the area.

Great food and amazing service!

Great food, but slow service. However, its good for the price compared to the high cost tablet using sushi restaurants in London.

We always enjoy our meals when we come to Asuka. As busy as it was, our service was great, food was quick and delicious, and atmosphere was cozy and friendly.

Look forward to reading here every time in in the area. Great food great service.

Always great food and friendly service.

Great service great food

Food was well done, service was good.

Best sushi I have had in any place, better than all London area sushi places. Love it.

Good food. Enjoyed it with family
