Here Asian Sushi & Bar Roanoke — Restaurant in Roanoke

We’ve now been twice—once for a last-minute date night before the movies, and again on a busy Friday—and both times? Absolute knockout. This place has officially claimed a top spot on our sushi go-to list.

The vibe is cozy, a little bustling, with staff hustling behind the counter. It’s not dripping with Instagrammable decor, but honestly, who cares? The food and the people are the real stars here—friendly, welcoming, and quick on their feet.

🍣 The Sushi Fresh, vibrant, and plated like edible art. Every roll hits the perfect balance of flavor and texture, whether you’re a sushi veteran or a newbie testing the waters. On visit two, we dove into a Hawaiian Roll and a Nevada Roll—both fresh, crisp, and layered with flavor in every bite.

🥢 The Appetizers Fried green beans? Perfectly crispy with just the right amount of bite. Chicken eggrolls? Total show-stopper—crispy outside, juicy and savory inside. We’d come back for these apps alone.

🤖 The Robot Yes, they have a to-go order robot. Yes, it’s adorable. Yes, you will talk about it for at least 20 minutes after it delivers your food.

✅ Pros: • Sushi that tastes as good as it looks. • Friendly, hardworking staff. • Appetizers worth a return trip all by themselves. • The coolest little to-go robot in town.

🤷‍♀️ Cons: • Small space, so it can get hectic during peak hours. • Not a decor-heavy spot—this is about food over filters.

Bottom line: Whether you pop in before a movie or make it your Friday night destination, Here Asian Sushi & Bar will keep you coming back. We’re already planning...

3rd and final update. Will never be returning here. Quality has gone down a lot. I only gave it 2 stars because my wife's order actually had flavor. I ordered korean spicy chicken. I thought I remembered this being made with gochujang sauce and being a little tasty but this time it was bland and not spicy in the least. I asked for a side dish of the sauce to see if that's what it was missing but the sauce was just a red salty sauce. Lack of flavor aside from salt. My wife ordered the hunan chicken and this actually looked and tasted better than what I had received. Her aunts both ordered teriyaki chicken and they said they felt the sauce was watered down and lacking flavor as well. Also gave the spicy scallop roll a try......don't give it a try.

Updating review to lower since quality seems to have gone down

I would say this is a 4.5, almost 5 star rating. I've been here twice so far. First time was a team dinner and we ordered a LOT of food. We came during happy hour which made it really affordable. Stopped taking pics because we were hungry and the food kept coming out. Anyways, onto the food review. For the most part, very pleased with the food. They have something for everyone. By no means is this just purely a sushi place. They also have a decent amount of American Chinese foods available. There were only a few things on the menu that didnt seem quite up to par with the rest of the food, but otherwise, everything tasted great. Highly recommend and we'll be...

Visited this restaurant on 4th Jan for dinner at 8 PM with family with one toddler and 11 month baby. None of the servers are inviting until I have asked and most of the servers are eating their dinners. At last one person came provided the menu's without saying hi and asked what do you want to eat with very rude. We have asked give us few mins. Until we are waving them after 10 mins of waiting then came oh I forgot do you want to water...we have ordered the food and server again asked what is the spicy level... I said extra spice. Then they severed the food with no salt and extra spicy. I have asked there is no salt in the food. Server replied extra spicy means no salt but only spice with rude. Few servers were watching while having their food and laughing. I lost my patience & I have paid the bill without having the food. One person is (I think he is manager) observing this and least bothered about it. Looks like they are looking for money. I DO NOT recommend this restaurant at all. Even this restaurant does not deserve any...
