Always a nice place for fresh sushi. Be prepared that on some key nights the place can get full quickly as it is very small.

One of the most freshest sushi restaurant i’ve ever been too. Food is great and they have the most friendliest staff that are always on high alert to one’s needs.

I was feeling like Japanese food for lunch, and there are quite a few options up in the northwest suburbs. Asahi happens to be a very good one.
I picked up a salmon teriyaki meal, and I was sort of in a hurry, so I took it to go. Even after the 10-​minute drive, I’m pleased to report that the teriyaki lunch was excellent.
The rice was still perfectly clumpy and cooked, while the vegetables were excellently seasoned and and very well cooked. The browning on the edges was great, and all of it was pleasingly tender.
The salmon was also nicely cooked; half perfectly, half a tad over, but nothing unrecoverable. I also was a huge fan of the teriyaki sauce, which a perfect balance of a little bit sweet and a little bit salt.

Great hole in the wall place buried in a half-​empty shopping mall. They have 54 different rolls — all of them under $ 18. The sushi is fresh, the service is quick, and everything is with a smile. The owner making the rolls tells you he takes this place seriously.
They start you with a fantastic small cucumber salad to get the palate going. Then there are about 16 appetizer choices, many teriyaki options, sushi dinners, and the aforementioned 54 rolls.
The price is very reasonable — highly recommend

THE place to get sushi and not have to drive far. My family and I have eaten here at least 20 times. The atmosphere is cute, a small little restaurant with such friendly chefs and servers. They have a very diverse menu with a lot of fun maki sushi rolls! We know we can go and get a lot of sushi and appetizers and have a bill of about $ 40 which is not bad considering the amount of food we usually order. The reason for 4 is because there were 2 – 3 times where I got sick after eating here. I do knot know if it is an allergy or maybe just not good quality fish for that specific roll.

We have been eating here for about 5 years. A hidden gem of a place. Great food, super ambience, friendly owner and staff. Give it a try!

At first I wasn’t sure if this place was only a sushi spot cause that’s all I’ve ever heard about but a quick browse on their website showed that they offer teriyaki chicken and rice too!
Figured I’d try it out for lunch and I was very pleased.
Good portions for a good price! They prepared my entrée quickly and are very friendly.
I’ll be are to visit Asahi more often.

The sushi at this place is phenomenal! We always enjoy dining in the relaxed atmosphere and enjoy the great service. The CST Roll, New Asahi & Sexy Rolls are 3 of our favorites. Everything tastes fresh and the menu is so big, there is always something new to try. The location is convenient to downtown Palatine or anyone in the surrounding area. I also love when sushi places have ample options of sushi at al price levels — Asahi hits the mark on this too. Nothing worse then going to a sushi restaurant and looking at the menu and realizing the only rolls that look good are $ 25 a pop. Asahi has so many great options! Can’t say enough good things about this place.

Nice little hidden gem. After checking out the Unilocal reviews as always, I decided to just swing here & check it out for lunch today along with one of my coworkers. Both of us were impressed.
She got the shrimp tempura. It looked amazing when it came out & tasted good according to her. I got the Maki & Tempura #3 lunch plate. I must say it was a pretty nice size plate. It came with 4 spicy tuna & 4 California sushi rolls, 2 pot stickers, a salad & a handful of Tempura.
Everything on my plate tasted great. The sushi rolls were very fresh; the salad with homemade Japanese dressing was crisp & the dressing had a nice flavor; the Tempura was fried well & tender on the inside. The staff, including our waitress & the chef behind the counter was very friendly. I can definitely see myself returning here!

This is our go to Sushi restaurant, we love the food here and have never had a bad experience. They have limited seating so you may want to do carry out when they are busy. Overall, a great sushi experience!

Interesting location for a sushi restaurant but the fish is fresh and tasty. If you’re looking for your standard fresh sushi with lots of different options, this is the place. The only issue we had with this place was the odd location in what appeared to be an abandoned shopping center. The inside was also small so get their early on the weekends.

The best sushi around! We moved to Palatine a few years ago and decided to try this place based on good reviews. My husband lived in Japan for a few years and is a bit of a sushi snob. The sushi is very authentic and delicious! It’s very dangerous that it’s just a few minutes from our house. We order sushi to go all the time and it’s just as good as if we sat down. I would definitely recommend going here if you’re looking for some delicious sushi!

Great service. The food was good. The prices are a bit higher. The place is cute but very small. Not good for large crowd.

Delicious and fast. Staff is polite. They have Otokoyama sake. It’s worth the price. Don’t forget your coupon.

The place is okay. I went with a friend who highly praised it. The expectations were high when I went and I just say it was not met.
I looked at their menu and immediately knew it was. It an authentic place because who puts beef on their sushi? And jalapeños?
I ordered the volcanoe roll that had crab and yum yum sauce. The name is falsely advertised as it did not blow my mouth with yummy flavors and the crab was not real crab.
The atmosphere was great and the the people were friendly. The tuna and salmon did taste fresh though.

I have moved from Japan to the United States last week.
The first restaurant challenge is here. Taste was so good. SUSHI is Japanese culture. But shop-​staff is not Japanese. However no problem. My house is near from here. So I will go again.

Great service, Friendly staff and wonderful tasting Sushi!
I have had Higher end sushi (Sushi Wasabi/​Wicker Park Sushi) but hose places are easily twice the cost of this place. The owner making the rolls tells you he takes this place seriously.
This is our regular Sushi joint, we go every couple weeks, it’s that good!
I’ve tried almost every sushi place withing 20 miles of Palatine and this place is worth visiting, The cucumber salad is perfect, and twice they have brought us out something new to try just because. BTW the smoked fish with the sweet sauce was yummy.
Great food, great service, great online coupons and a thank you for coming and a smile every visit. Keep up the good work and we will be coming back

Hidden gem is right! Everyone was super nice. We came with our 6 year old, and brought in outside food for her to eat, and they allowed it no problem. The chef even made her something special :)
The CST roll might be one of the best rolls I’ve ever had. Affordable for sushi, and you get a lot of food. We will be back for sure!

The sushi and sashimi here are phenomenal! So fresh, big and with beautiful marbling. Compared to the other restaurants I’ve been to, they have the best raw fish by far. My favorites are the salmon and yellow tail. The pricing is also competitive, especially for the quality of fish you are getting.
The sushi rolls are pretty good, too. During my last trip, I tried these rolls:
–Dream Roll-​Yellowtail, radish topped with tempura crumbs.
–C.S.T.-Spicy tuna roll, topped with tempura crumbs and spicy mayo.
–Spider Roll-​Soft shell crab
As for the appetizers, the deep fried mussels was good and you can’t go wrong with the Spicy Tuna Tartare. For special occasions, they offer large bottle (like wine size bottle) of sake for $ 40.
The service is great! The wait staff is very attentive and the sushi chef is friendly.
