on Citysearch Jul 12, 2010We've had the sushi at Asuka a few times but only take-out and it has been very good. We decided to eat in today and the service was among the WORST we've had at a restaurant. Aside from being really slow, the owner (who... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 12, 2009This place looks fancy and nice but the food is just a joke. Their fish is smelly and the yellowtail sashimi had almost a green color...that means it's not even good for cooking!! Are you serious? The rolls are made like... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 07, 2009Took a coworker here on 1/7/09 and was pleasantly surprised to see the 2for1 roll prices. I've been here many times for lunch as their food is always good - if a little pricey. Note that the pricing is much better now.... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 09, 2008Please disregard the pretentious comments below. Asuka is regarded as a hidden treasure of sorts; a great sushi place tucked away between Morrisville and Cary. It is far and away the best sushi / Japanese restaurant... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 06, 2008We ordered take-out from Asuka, where we really love their food; however, when we presented the owner with a gift certificate for the order he REFUSED to accept it! NO WHERE on the GC did it state "dine in only". To our... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 28, 2007The RTP has very limited lunch options, if you're sick of fast food or sandwiches, but a quick lunch at Asuka is just what we need. It seems that I wasn't alone either. Great crowd for lunch, but there was no wait and the... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 29, 2006I've been to every well known sushi restaurant in the triangle and this is absolutely up there with my top three. I would say that of all the places I've been, I've NEVER had a so-so roll here. The rolls are always fresh... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 09, 2006This used to be my favorite Japanese restaurant in the area, until they remodeled. It's no longer a Japanese restaurant; it's a chick-y/trend-y "poser", if you will. Instead of traditional Japanese style decor... (more)

on Judys Book Mar 28, 2006Asuka was a shock for me. From the outside, it seems like it's just a little hole in the wall kind of place - nothing special. Once you go in, you can definitely tell you're in a nice Japanese restaurant. The atmosphere is... (more)
