This restaurant got the unusual conviction of sticking to the best in terms of food quality. Every piece of sashimi, every single appetizer, even the kind of rice they use, the quality is top notch. It is a rarity in America these days. The chef is Michelin rated. Asuka displays a passion to serve the highest quality of Japanese cuisine that you could hardly find elsewhere.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary dinner here tonight and Asuka continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in LA. It is an authentic Japanese restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. The owner Vincent is attentive and introduces the restaurant and menu to every patron. He takes pride in owning a high quality establishment and it shows. The new chef here is a Michelin starred chef and everything we got on the kaiseki menu was delicious and definitely worth the price. Even the water there was great since they use alkaline water. The servers helped us navigate dietary restrictions and everything about our meal was excellent. We can't wait to go back soon!

Imagine being in a ryokan in Japan. They serve you multiple courses of delicate fresh and flavorful fish, artfully presented in a relaxing and collegial environment. This is what Asuka is like. The environment of the restaurant feels like a true Japanese restaurant. Orchids on the table, upside down paper Japanese parasols (Wagasa) hang from the ceiling. And the owner is so interested in all of his patrons. Will relay historical stories and anecdotes. They even have Tashi, a Michelin star sushi chef!!! the service is impeccable and you get an explanation of everything you order. They have omikase and kaiseki as well as ala carte. This is the same Asuka that was next to the movie theater on westwood forever, and they just moved down the street, in a lovely space, that also has outdoor dining. The food is amazing. The ambience is great. The service impeccable. You must come here. It's the second time this week we have been!

Just visited Asuka in Westwood Village . Very good experience. Excellent authentic Japanese with attentive staff. Enjoyed much more than a recent Beverly Hills experience. Similar to Tokyo or Kyoto.

What a great find near our Airbnb. Food was amazing. Service was top-notch. And I loved the umbrella ceiling. Perfect for date night or dinner with friends.

So delish! The food is super fresh and the staff is really friendly. I really recommend!

Asuka means 7th century from what the owner/manager told me. When I walked in a very well dressed man(you don't see restaurant people in full suits and ties much anymore)seated me right away at what looked like the nicest table for me near the window. I read this is a top tier sushi restaurant here on Yelp and I was not disappointed. Everything was high level with a total bill I paid of over $140. I like they accept cash which believe it or not is no longer the case at many, especially woke restaurants these days. I had a delicious assortment of nigiri, my favorite was the monkfish liver, blue crab roll, grilled salmon(excellent sauce and plating)and roasted duck. The dessert was also interesting and different from the usual offerings elsewhere. Ambience and service was also excellent. Highly recommended.

Unlike many sushi places that serve sub par quality fish, this place is definitely worth trying. The owner of the restaurant is always there wearing a suit with his hair neatly combed back, making sure everyone is enjoying their meal. This is the kind of restaurant I want to support. The ambiance is quiet but still busy and classy. Sitting at the bar was a fun experience. We ordered the $85 omakase, then added on whichever sushi we liked better. Quality was fresh and cuts were generous. Recommend their omakase if you are looking to splurge a little (but not $400 per person like some really high end places). We liked all the nigiris we were served but some were out of this world good.

One of my favorite sushi spots in west LA. The Asuka sushi omakase is such a good price for amazing quality fish! I always enjoy coming here, especially if I get to sit at the sushi bar and see the sushi chefs in action. The owner has been there every time we dine in and has always checked in to make sure everything was great. It's a nice gesture that I personally appreciate. Highly recommend!!

Very nice restaurant. The owner was solicitous and took such good care of us. We had the omakase dinner, and it was fabulous. You know that each dish in omakase is specially prepared and you should not use additional sauce/spice. This was perfectly seasoned and a sensory delight. The little touches were terrific. The minute my tea was low it was refilled. Everyone was friendly and wanted to educate us on our dishes. The pace was leisurely and the food was great. 2 thumbs up. Try the wagyu.
