Asakusa offers a mixed dining experience with some customers enjoying the fresh and varied food options, while others found the dishes to be bland and overpriced. Some patrons were disappointed with the quality of the sushi and sashimi, while others highly recommended the sashimi and gyoza. The service received mixed reviews, with some mentioning slow service but polite staff. Despite differing opinions, many long-time customers continue to visit Asakusa for its decent prices and excellent food. Ultimately, Asakusa seems to cater to varying tastes and preferences when it comes to Japanese cuisine.

You shouldn't have to walk to the delivery drivers car in the rain if you're paying a $4.50 delivery fee. The food was bland and over priced. The tempura was bo...
