Asahi Japanese Restaurant

ra Shai Ma-Sei! Asahi is a great Japanese restaurant located in the Palatine area.

We ordered:
Chicken katsu -- Breaded chicken breast, deep fried and served with tonkatsu sauce. Really good portions

Rainbow roll -- California, 5 pieces of fresh fish, which looked to be salmon, tuna, white tuna, shrimp, and yellow tail

Spider roll -- Whole soft shell crab, cucumber, avocado, sweet sauce. These always come out thicker, and it was delicious!

They also have bento boxes to check out, which was a hard choice to not get. Service was great! Dining area is somewhat tiny... a few booths, a couple of tables, and few seats at the sushi bar, by the chefs. Overall, great food and experience!

Great little spot! Sashimi slices are nice and big. Reminded me of Tokyo! Will definitely be back!

Definitely give this place a try! I love it! Tonight was our first dinner there and we will definitely be back for more! It feels so casual, warm and welcoming inside, every staff member is super polite. I regret that I haven't taken any pictures of our rolls and nigiri, but seriously just get in here ant try it. I love little family joints like this one and happy to support small business especially when it's well deserved. P.S. Sushi was so good I can't even stop telling my husband how much I liked it;)

Average run of the mill sushi spot. Food is decent and reasonably priced. Took off a star because of the horrible children's Christmas music they had playing,and simply because there is nothing remarkable about it.
