Asaka Sushi & Bar

Overpriced mediocre sushi and poor service. There are better places to get sushi nearby.

Asaka is a delightful addition to the North Berkeley restaurant scene! The food is delicious, the service impeccable, and the owner generously donated a few platters of sushi to the Japanese American Experience event we held last month at St. Mary Magdalen Church. Come check it out! Vegetarian options: Honestly, I don't know if there are main dishes for vegetarians, but their edamame was delicious! Kid-friendliness: I think children would enjoy the food here.

Went on a whim and really enjoyed the food! Nigiri and Sashimi were fresh and flavorful. Wifey had hand rolls, she was happy with her meal as well. I definitely recommend giving this place a visit.

This is a legit sushi bar. It has the highest quality seafood I’ve found in Berkeley. It’s excellent. The service is great and it’s just a little off the beaten path which is a nice change from other parts of Berkeley. The restaurant is clean. There’s a nice mix of diners. Prices are good (it’s not overpriced like every other restaurant in Berkeley). The only thing I wish was different is the plastic tableware. Eating from ceramic and glass is so much better than plastic, but never the less, it’s my new favorite sushi spot. I had the mango jalapeño roll (excellent), sewers salad (excellent), miso soup (standard), sparking yuzu water (excellent), kagatobi super dry sake (very good). We left full and very satisfied.

My Son an I found this place looking for recommendations for lunch. All our food was fresh and delicious.

I always come here when in town.

Good sushi and general very nice service. I’ve been her 4-5 times, but be careful when getting takeout. Unfortunately, last time I ordered they forgot to add any soy sauce, napkins, chopsticks, and ponzu to the to-go order. Be sure to check your bag before you leave.

First time in. Great food. Service was slow that day but worth the wait.

Visited this place just once and were really happy with the quality of their rolls. The fish was fresh and the ingredients were well balanced well. Their menu is pretty big so it took some time to pick different rolls (meaning with different fish) We ordered three sets for two people and all of them were pretty good. The service was fast and overall experience was nice as the neighborhood where this place located is very cute. 4/5 from me just because the place is good but not special
