I should preface every sushi bar review I write with - if I could I would eat sushi for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Asahi is a mix of good and disappointing. The good: Service - wonderfully friendly and fast. Sushi (as in the vinegar rice) - solid. The tamago (egg) - good. (I have been told that it is tradition to have tamago at the end of the meal.) The disappointing: The fish - Overall, the fish was of poor quality. Most pieces lacked the "pop" of flavor that I expect from the raw fish served at sushi bars. The texture was also subpar. Most concerning was that some pieces were overall to "fishy" - "fishy" is a bad way.

This is a hidden gem. (And I do mean hidden - it's a tiny place, and we accidentally drove right by it before we found it.) My husband and I really loved this place! My husband ordered special rolls, I ordered a combination, and both were wonderful and very well priced. It's fun watching the chef putting everything together.

I like the small cozy atmosphere, which suits sushi places. It give a very local and friendly feel. Good size portions of edamame, decent sushi wth no complaints. Overall, good sushi and no complaints.

Asahi is predictable, if not fancy. I've eaten there many times and the sushi is always good. The Bento boxes are also quite tasty. The atmosphere is somewhat drab, but just don't go there for a romantic dinner. The staff is exceptionally friendly.

I love Asahi Sushi. I should preface this review by stating that if it involves mayo, a fryer, or fruit; I can promise you I'm not interested. I don't eat fancy rolls. Fancy sushi for me, is a unique fish that I haven't had before. Asahi's fish is fresh. As a result, the flavor is full and rich and the texture is perfect. Their house salad isn't the best that I've ever had. Their seaweed salad is good as well. I also really enjoy their vegetable tempura and the Japanese pickles. If you are a nigiri sushi fanatic, ask the sushi chef what he recommends. The other night he suggested monkfish liver. It was really good. He's also got my boyfriend and I hooked on this amazing tuna and bonita. One of the rolls that we do enjoy here is the salmon skin roll. Crunchy and delicious. No one eats here. I don't know why. As a result, the service has always been really great! I don't think that they are slower than any other sushi restaurant. My ONLY problem with Asahi is that they are located in Belle Meade and it's a small hike for us to get over there. It's probably for the best. If they were closer, I'd probably turn into a piece of sushi because I'd eat here everyday.

The only reason I give this place 2 stars instead of one is because the yellowtail tasted decent. But everything else about that restaurant was horrible. Smelled like bleach. Sticky tables. The soda comes warm in a can. I ordered some chicken teriyaki and it was extremely dry and the sauce tasted like chemical. The dressing that came on the salad was thick and gross. The waitress barely knew english. I asked if they had steamed vegetables and she had NO idea what I was talking about. It was pretty over priced for what it was. I could go on and on. Definitely will never go back.

Went in for a roll and some nigiri, place was empty, chef was watching an old western on the tv as he assembled my order. The tuna and eel was good, the salmon was a tiny bit fishy, was ok though, might go back

Mongolian BBQ = 4 stars variety of foods = 3 stars deserts = 1 stars customer service = 1 star O.K... I'm not quite sure WHY the Bellevue location isn't listed, but this review is for that specific location: It's the only place around here (Bellevue) where you can get Mongolian BBQ, so for that alone, I give it much praise... HOWEVER, How difficult would it be to employ SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS ENGLISH????!!!! Everyone from the waitress, to the guy behind the desk to the manager...I had a difficult time trying to request "to-go cartons" because NO ONE SPOKE ENGLISH. I also needed to talk to someone regarding an event happening here in Bellevue, but all anyone could say to me was "I don't know". I've lived in foreign countries, and I've learned the language (at least enough to converse with someone), and yes, it was a challenge, but I did it. It was the respectful thing to do for the people of that country (both Korea and Japan), that I would care enough to want to speak their language. I don't want to come off as a xenophobe. I'm truly not, and I think my travels and my life experiences would prove just the opposite. So, to the employees of the Bellevue location: you're here, you're employed, you're making money, in fairly safe surroundings, and can partake in everything that America has to offer. Please show us the respect, and learn the damn language!

Bad sushi! Sorry!

Decent sushi place for standard rolls. It's never packed, but I only go here for take-out. Never had a problem with the food though, just nothing special. They're a little slow no matter how busy they are which has at times turned me away from "grabbing something quick." Also, not much parking available.

We have been visiting Asahi for years and it is our favorite around Nashville. It is usually not too crowded, so we can get in and don't have to wait forever to eat. There is only one sushi chef, the owner. He takes pride in his work and is a really nice guy. He remembers customers and always greets them when they walk in the door. We love the spicy scallop and volcano rolls. It isn't overly priced or pretentious, which is another reason we like it. Good sushi at a reasonable price-what more can you ask for? Give it a try-you will be glad you did.

I got some good news this morning so I decided to celebrate by treating myself to sushi for lunch. I've driven past Asahi a hundred times, always meaning to try it, but just made it in for the first time today. When I walked in it was empty. I mean really empty - no hostess, no sushi chef in sight. I thought about ditching, but for lack of a better lunch plan, stuck around. When I got to the table I was excited to see they had age-tofu, one of my favorites. It was bland, and the tofu was a bit soft for my taste, but it turned out I was glad to have it when I got the rest of my meal. The spicy yellow tail roll was one of those large, sloppy sushi rolls which was ok, but not good, and definitely not spicy. The kicker was that the unagi nigiri I ordered was REVOLTING. I had to spit it out! (tmi, maybe, but it's true) Unagi is usually my favorite, and I was shocked. I was too embarrased by the soggy, half-chewed fish in my napkin to send it back so I ended up paying for it, which I'm still regretting. I won't be back at Asahi, and I recommend you look elsewhere for your sushi fix.

Asahi is a pretty good Japanese style restaurant. They have plethora of different sushi rolls, but other than that the menu is a bit simple. Most of the rolls are pretty standard, but they do have a few signature rolls that looked pretty good. I was really in the mood for sake the particular night I went and was pleased that they had a pretty good selection to choose from. I was dining with some health nuts when I went, so we started with some edamame, which seemed fresh (I am pretty sure it is impossible to mess up edamame, as I think they only boil it). For the entree I had the teriyaki chicken. It was super juicy and it was covered with some sesame seeds. Pretty good, but nothing spectacular. Overall, I thought the meal was pretty good and pretty cheap too. It is probably worth it to check out this place if you are in the area, right off of Harding pike.

Asahi is small family owned business with its own unique charm. the service is very slow in the dining even on slow nights so i typically choose only to do take out due to the poor in house performance. Even take out takes some time. However the sushi here is extremely fresh and worth the sometimes long wait. Asahi also has amazing prices with most of the rolls being between 5-10 dollars even for specialty rolls. This is the best sushi place in the Belle Meade area, lacks the atmosphere and number of speciality rolls of Ninki but the quality of sushi speaks for itself.

My girlfriend and I went here and it was terrible. The place wasn't crowded - there were only 2 other tables - but the service was *extremely* slow and the waiter was unpleasant. We sat there forever waiting for our check and once we finally got it, we still had to wait ages to get our change. The sushi itself was overpriced and the worst I've ever had, and I'm a big sushi fan (I've been to all types of places - the restaurant doesn't have to be high-end to have good sushi). The rice tasted old and stale, and the fish was tough, chewy and bland. I will never come back to Asahi again and you should stay away!
