Pretty good dish for not original japanese cook. Should try the teriyaki chilli chicken, not bad at all. The tonkotsu curry rice could hv been better with more curry sauce and better cooked rice(it was overcooked) made it abit soggy.

Value for money, I find. The quantity is filling and the service great. We had sushi and bento boxes.

We had dinner there last night and we have eaten there several times over the past years. I think the food there is very tasty and of generally good quality. Last night I ate three of the blackboard special dishes — fire maki, mushrooms with dried fish shavings in soy sauce, and vegetable gyoza. The first two dishes were very nice, while the gyoza were rather stodgy and tasteless. The main thing that let’s this restaurant down is the service. Staff appear mostly to be(Korean?) students who spoke or understood barely any English nor knew the answers to our questions about the food, so the manager had to be sought each time, and whose answer to a big spill(by us) of a sauce over the table was to dump a handful of serviettes in the middle of the mess and let us sop it up ourselves!

Nothing to write home about. Average food and not especially cheap either. We went on a quiet weekday so maybe the experience would be better on a weekend when they are a bit busier, but it’s not a place I’ll rush to get back to.

Cheap, decent Japanese(obviously aimed at a student clientele) — perfectly adequate but nothing special. As expected, service is brusque and its got a strong«eat and run» vibe.

We had dinner here last night. Shabu Shabu is so much fun shared. I introduced my other half to it, even after explaining to him repeatedly that it’s not soup! I’m yet to have a bad meal here. The food is always very yummy. The staff are lovely. The décor leaves much to be desired, but I’m not there to stare at their walls, I’m there to play with my food!!!

University chic décor with university prices. What is amazing about Asakusa is the food. Well prepared, tasty and very fresh. The wait staff are friendly and attentive without being overlay so. Go for the food and the price, not the décor :)

Great prices, value for money, but not«real» Japanese. Sashimi doesn’t taste fresh. I’m pretty sure it’s defrosted as required. Sushi rice is not well seasoned. Soups are huge! …but are simple heated chicken or beef stock, not balanced sweet/savoury Japanese soups.

Japanese restaurant that home delivers. It is licensed, you can bring your own wine only. It offers all the best of Japanese food from bento boxes to ramen and sushi. It is all freshly made and you won’t be disappointed if you try a meal at Asakusa. The service is traditional Japanese style and hospitality runs a long mile. I like relaxing atmosphere of traditional Japanese it has a Zen effect of a stillness in time. The deco is very minimalist, you can wear casual dress and it is good for groups. It is in no way a corner shop but a respectable restaurant that is open 7 nights

It’s always nice when you get recognised by people who you don’t expect to recognise you. Like the staff at a restaurant you haven’t been to in a while. «Have you been away?» the owner of Asakusa asked my friend and I last time we went in. «I haven’t seen you in a while.» Yes, we had been away. And yes, we do go there a lot. Asakusa is fantastic for inexpensive and fresh Japanese food. From the $ 6 Taco Yaki(fried octopus balls) and Togarashi Tofu(deep fried tofu with chilli, garlic and dried shredded tuna) to my favourite, the Asagao Dinner Box(sushi, futomaki, green salad & tuna maki) for $ 14.50, you leave Asakusa feeling full, healthy and happy in the knowledge that you haven’t spent most of this week’s budget. If you’ve got time, grab an Asahi and some edamame beans while you peruse the menu. Also, avoid making changes to the meals if you don’t want to cause confusion.
