🍣 Indianapolis | Asaka Japanese Restaurant – A Hidden Gem!

Today I’m recommending one of Indiana’s rare treasure Japanese restaurants – Asaka Japanese Restaurant! 🏮 📍 Address: 6414 E 82nd St, Indianapolis, IN 46250 (north Indy, near Costco and Viet Hua Supermarket). Don’t be fooled by the modest exterior – the quality and freshness of the ingredients are impressive, and the value is unmatched in Indiana! 🎌💎 📅 Hours & Tips: Open Thu-Sun 5:00-9:30 PM 🕔 Sushi only available Thu-Sat – Sunday is udon-only! 🍜 Cash gets 10% off – bring cash to save! 💵 Arrive early (e.g., 4:50 PM for 5:00 PM opening) to avoid 1-2 hour waits! ⏳ For large sashimi orders, message them in advance via Facebook (check Google Maps for link). 🍱 Must-Try Dishes: Sashimi: Salmon, tuna, shrimp, egg (S = with rice, N = pure sashimi) 🐟🍤 Premium Picks: Fatty salmon (lightly torched 🍣), eel, Botan Ebi (sweet shrimp – head is crispy! 🦐), sea urchin Happy Hour Rolls & Hand Rolls – affordable and delicious! Rice Bowls: Salmon Don, Aburi Salmon Tataki Don (but skip if you’re already having lots of salmon sushi – it’s rich!) 🍚 Udon > Ramen here – Sunday udon specials! ❌ Appetizers and curry are just okay – don’t prioritize them. 🍽️ Notes: Disposable chopsticks are used – don’t be surprised! 🥢 Tap water tastes a bit plain – order drinks if preferred 🚰 Service is decent, not exceptional Price: ~$30-60 per person – you can eat until stuffed! 🏼 Verdict: A must-visit for sushi lovers in the Midwest! 🌽🎉 #Indianapolis #IndyFood #JapaneseFood #SushiLovers #PurdueEats #HiddenGem #FoodReview 🍣✨📸
