Asahi Japanese Grill

Definitely a great place to eat!. Came here for work lunch and had the salmon dish. By far the best salmon dish I've ever had! The salmon was perfectly cooked and flaky with a delicately crispy exterior. Which has been a first for me to say! Absolutely delicious! The fried rice was plenty and seasoned well. The sweet cooked carrots and the slightly charred, soy sauce cooked broccoli add an incredibly delightful contrast to the dish! Not just in flavor, but in texture too. And the addition of the lemon wedge adds a wonderful brightness to all the flavors.
The staff were also fast and friendly. Great atmosphere.
Will definitely be coming back again.

Food was great and the drive thru was very convenient. It only took about 5 minutes to get our food after we ordered. Highly recommend and will definitely be going back when I'm in town again.

We love this place. I always get the three meat steak, shrimp & chicken w/ 2 shrimp sauces. My husband always gets scallops in place of chicken. It's always fresh. They have a drive-through, which is really convenient. Drive up, order, and in a few minutes, you're off. Thanks for the Great food and Great Service! We never had a bad experience here.

We have missed dining here since moving several years and wanted to celebrate our 45 Wedding Anniversary with a meal here but my Darling was ill so we had to wait couple of days. Being old customers here we really had high expectations!

Entering restaurant few employees were in dining room watching olympics and they immediately gave us their full attention and welcomed us in. Atmosphere here is still phenomenal! It’s very comfortable and relaxed. Restaurant was very clean too.

The waitress though she is brand new is superb she was one of the best wait staff we have had. She is excellent at anticipating her guests needs without hovering. Really paid attention and is genuinely warm-hearted individual.

Seated in front of restaurant which allowed us a view of the kitchen at work or view out the window.

We each ordered a Pork Egg Roll which was absolutely perfect and the best part of the meal. I ordered Shrimp and Chicken Combination, my Husband the Scallops and Shrimp Combination ( includes Broccoli, Carrots, Fried Rice. Offer couple other options. ) with a side order of Scallops and Broccoli. Of course we ordered Iced Tea and it was pretty good.

Iced Tea served immediately and within four minutes at most our plates appeared and I thought oh no! With first bite you can tell you are eating leftovers. Scallops chewy, Shrimp little rubbery, Chicken tad dry and firm. Food taste like it was all prepared at first of day and reheated as ordered. It was still good but not what it could be when fresh. Like cooking good meal at home and having leftovers next day. So disappointed wanted to love everything.

I gave 5 Stars based on superb Staff, Atmosphere, Cleanliness and suspicion food is significantly better when arriving closer to opening. We were there around 3:00 P.M.and they open at 11:00 A.M. Willing to try once more at opening.

We ordered a catering order for a birthday party. The portions were generous. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. There was also plenty of sauce, utensils, and napkins. We eat take out from here often, and we will use them for catering again in the future.

Customer service great. Food great. In and out. And affordable. Can you ask for more? 5 stars

Food is mediocre at best. The server was very nice. The man working the register… well I’m sorry I come in there to eat and took you away from girl time.

First time. Great experience!! Yummy food! Nice size portions.

Stopped in on our way to the cabins and it's amazing. Great food and staff!!!! Salad and entree is full of fresh ingredients!!!! Clean bathrooms!!!

Asahi has some of the best food in Lenoir City and east Tennessee.They offer dine-in,and take out.You'll not be disappointed with this choice for lunch or dinner!!

The food here was really great! The service was top-notch as well. I loved the steak, but my family loved the scallops! We can’t wait to come back. I’ll have to finish all our leftovers first ;)

Got the teriyaki steak and chicken plates. We were very pleased with our meal. We would go back again.

Delicious hibachi chicken 🤤 or steak.. yummy egg rolls...and drive thru window!

We love the food here and I love that it's still an affordable place to eat out at. That's important with a larger family. We definitely recommend eating here.

Much better than the place up the street in front of Wal-Mart and better price ... My buddy and me used to eat there all the time but covid killed that ... Now it's dine-in again but the old Japanese guy that used to wait on us is no longer there. We really liked him. Nice guy.

I absolutely love this restaurant. It is my favorite. I love the friendly employees and excellent service. The food is phenomenal and you very much so get your money worth. My favorite dish there is hibachi steak and chicken w/no veggies and shrimp sauce. You must try this. It is amazing.

Asahi is the most consistent restaurant we have ever visited, the food is always awesome and fresh! We have ordered take out from Asahi once a week for over a year now, the food is always on point and the employees are always friendly and fast. We always order steak & chicken hibachi combo with fried rice & salads, crab rangoons and pork egg rolls , all is great! You're missing out if you haven't tried Asahi Japanese restaurant in Lenior City TN, 5 star all the way!

Had hibachi chicken and salad w sweet tea. Excellent food, generous portion, excellent service. Parking is at the back for dine in. They also have a drive thru.

This place is always amazing. Normally I order through doordash however, yesterday me and my girlfriend decided to eat in the dining area. The staff was very nice, and the waitress did a good job. Love this place and will be going back soon

If you want some good Japanese food, this is the place you need to visit. Presentation is good, The food was excellent! Great flavor, tender chunks of chicken, crisp vegetables, a large portion of rice.....it was SO GOOD!
