What Chloe James doesn't like about Asakusa:
I usually try to see if the chef speaks Japanese. As it was in the good food guide I did not check. When I saw the sashimi arrive I realised it was not a real Japanese restaurant as the pieces were very thick and not...cut like in an authentic Japanese restaurant View all feedback. What Layne Boyer likes about Asakusa:
we eat here all 6 weeks or so and while eating is generally very good, the place is shut down and must be really cleaned and renovated to give it a new life. if they did, they would triple their business. View all feedback.
