Asahi Roll

Asahi Roll
4.1 / 5 (448 reviews)

Description

Tucked into Rogers Park, this tiny mom-and-pop spot blends Korean and Japanese comfort food with speedy, affordable service. Expect spicy seafood ramen, bulgogi-topped specialty rolls and freshly made sushi served at a sunny counter perfect for people-watching. The vibe is warm, colorful and laid-back, with mostly friendly, attentive staff and BYOB flexibility. Portions and prices please many diners, though sushi can be small or mild and service quality varies at times. A charming neighborhood staple for students, commuters and casual diners.

Attentive service in a tiny little shop with a nice counter by the window for plants and people watching. The food was dece and came out hot and fast. The seafood ramen was spicy and had a large prawn in it. Good for the location and the price but room for improvement.

This restaurant is so cool! So firstly, it's a small mom and pops type of vibe and those are always cool to go to. The menu is pretty extensive too! Sushi rolls, combos, ramen, and appetizers. The chef makes the rolls right up front. We had sushi combo A and each ordered ramen. I had the spicy ramen with beef. The meats with the ramen are extra but this could be a great vegetarian option for people because the meat isn't defaulted included.The friendliness of the chef and our server was very welcoming. The cool thing is, the restaurant is BYOB. So I brought a bottle to drink with the homies. I even offered the chef some but he declined respectfully and joked around with us too. I joked and said I would come back to bring the chef more drinks. Can't wait to come back for sure!

Soy sauce wasn’t sealed and got spilled all over : served very reserved miso soup cup. Well , i am puzzled , I got an impression they don’t people to return. Thanks
