Slightly expensive. Ramen is passing. Pork was solid, nice char. The chili oil wasn't spicy. The largest disappointment was the karage rice. The chicken was bland and tough. There was a lot of rice which was cooked fine, but it's just plain rice with seaweed. Also, note there is a lot of seaweed on the rice. A sauce might be helpful. Monster fries grew on me, but you have to mix it up to get all the flavors. Honestly I would think having just the pork on rice with a pickled green would be amazing.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Asuka is incredibly consistent with great food and generous portions. I am addicted to the Gyudon here which is pictured. They also have a huge selection of ramen and drinks to include adult beverages. Highly recommended.

I have been thinking about their attractive ramen because of their instagram advertisements, but their classic Tonkotsu ramen did not meet my expectations. The broth tasted flavorful. The toppings and ramen were great. However, the pork belly slice was terrible. It was too thick for me. The scallop skewers with house seasoning, probably fried garlic, tasted juicy, but the flavor was a little weird to me. The items were not cheap. I would expect more at this price. The dining room was lovely. My server was great. WiFi was available. They also got good looking and innovative boba tea, Japanese skewers, hibachi, and rice bowls.
