Positioned atop a motel and facing a quiet street you're not quite sure what to expect from this restaurant but fear not! Asahi provided a wonderful Japanese experience. The waitress was fantastic, to greet, seat, recommend and serve everyone that entered with such efficiency takes skill and passion. No sooner was I made comfortable at my seat did a complimentary appetiser appear, a delightful little dish that set me up for what was to follow.
I opted for the Yakiniku (BBQ Wagyu beef and onion, with broccoli florets, homemade slaw and steamed rice), followed by the Dora Yaki (sweet bean pancake) for dessert. The Wagyu was tender, the onions lovely and caramelised and the slaw fresh and tangy. The pancake was soft, with the filling luscious and rich without being overwhelming. The ice cream matched well as you'd expect as did the golden syrup drizzle, though maple syrup may have been a better option. Lovely touch with the fresh strawberry too. Reasonably priced, quick and great quality food, easy to park at too. Highly recommended!
Eight of us dined there and after having a chat with the wonderful staff we left it to them to choose what to serve us (including one coeliac). The food we shared was simply fantastic and we'd make the trip from Melbourne every week if we could. The prices were very reasonable and the wine and beer we had to go with the food was exactly right and reasonably priced.
These people care about getting it right!
At this point, we really didn't have high hopes for desserts. Not wanting to write the place off just yet, I ordered their dessert special - amaretti biscuit cake - Alas, it was very soft and unenjoyable. We kept getting rushed by the rude manager named Federico even though the dessert only arrived at 12:55pm. The bill came for us at 1:07pm and we were basically scurried away for overstaying our welcome.
We had a wonderful lunch there with eight people after visiting the Archibald prize exhibition. The staff were very friendly and helpful with description of the food served. Perfect sized portions and variety of food provided. Thankyou
The food is amazing! They only had one waitress for the whole night and she was fantastic, busy but managed to look after everyone - great job!
