"This place was a little better years ago, but the last few visits have gotten progressively worse for sure. \nAsuka does not serve authentic Japanese and the quality is only ok but I used to come in here for quick lunches for convenience and value. I would never order sashimi here bc i know their quality is not up to par. I only eat simple things that you can't really mess up like makis and their lunch bentos. \nI must have never been here on a Sunday bc on my recent visit i found out the lunch specials were not avail on Sunday so we had to pick from their regular menu. \nThe bf ordered tempura udon which was very meh. The soup was really salty, like a soup mix and the tempura were not crisp. I ordered two sad maki rolls. The rice was really sticky (too wet) and bland, the filling was extremely skimpy. I ordered a spider roll but they didn't even bother to put the legs out. Which is why it's called a spider roll in the first place. I could've done better at loblaws. \nThe servers were very disengaged. They just want you in and out. They also squeezed us between two other tables when other tables in the back were empty. \nWith all these authentic Japanese places popping up in Toronto the last few years, I really have no reason to come back ever."^^ . . .
