I have been coming to Asaka for nearly 6 years. It is the only place I will eat sushi at in Indianapolis. Their rolls and nigiri slices are HUGE. Aside from sushi their ramen is also incredible and many other non-sushi items on their menu. If you happen to go in on a Sunday when they aren’t serving sushi you will not be disappointed by everything else they have to offer :-)
We love Asaka! From sushi to their cooked menu is always amazing. We love their curry, ramen, salmon teriyaki and of course all the sushi!!!
Asaka is a definition of a good sushi restaurant. Fish is always top quality. “Asaka Special Sushi Dinner” is definitely special and not just a bunch of ingredients stuck together. Excellent quality and portions!

Super delicious!! The fried red snapper appetizer was pretty good, but the Sushi really took front stage. The shrimp tempura roll was my favorite - a great spicy flavor as well as lots of crunch! Same for the shrimp hand roll - I wish we’d ordered one more to take full advantage of the “limit 3 rolls per person” rule! All of the sushi tasted very fresh and well prepared.
When we got there it was around 6:15 on a Saturday and we waited for about 45 minutes for a seat, but we were still allowed to use the sushi happy hour menu (5-7 daily) because of the time we arrived. These were a great deal, about 4.99 for a roll and 2.99 for a hand roll.
The setting is really really cute and relaxed. It’s definitely an authentic experience, especially since they definitely don’t badger you, but rather you need to grab the attention of a server. They are busy but highly efficient. And the food never took that long to show up. I also love how the green tea was complimentary.
I would love to return to try more of their menu!!
Asaka is the only place in Indianapolis with authentic Japanese cuisine, period. The staff is knowledgeable, the kitchen turns out amazing food, and the sushi bar provides beautiful cuts of sushi you can't believe. I take my friends and family as much as I can. A+
The food is delicious, but the restaurant frequently runs out of the special items listed on the board, and sometimes even regular menu items. The service is friendly, but it can be slow at times. Occasionally, you may not receive what you ordered. Additionally, the chef decides which sushi to include in the special rolls most of the time.”
First of all make sure you go early to put your name down for a table! This place is a Japanese food paradise in Indy. We tried a ton of different sushi - I think all sushi here tastes amazing. We also tried 2 appetizers - a fish cake combo and takoyaki, both were absolutely delicious! The house sake is just $3 and very tasty and boozy! Please visit this place!!
I have been eating at Asaka for over 15 years and I can confidently say it is the best sushi in Indianapolis. Nina is a wonderful chef and her family has built something truly special for the community. My family and I use any excuse to make a reservation- Father’s Day, birthdays, I even went after my high school graduation and every single time it is a lovely experience. I highly recommend visiting Asaka 💌
Hands down the best Japanese restaurant in Indiana. I've been coming here for 10+ years and it does not disappoint. You'll probably run into plenty of Japanese people here (perhaps all in Indiana) because their food is so authentic. They seem to be understaffed lately, so service can be slow and there's probably a line to get in. However, it's worth the wait. Remember to hide your valuables in your car, as it's not the safest part of Indy for sure.
love this place, really amazingly fresh sushi with really fine selections of fish cuts such as the fatty tuna. and price is unbeatable during their happy hr, BUT the service is wayyyyy too slow ! Plan to spent at least an hr waiting for food, they do not have enough staff to accommodate everyone and the ones they do have is young and inexperienced. Good food tho.
