Asuka Japanese Kitchen (North Penrith) 2215 Castlereagh Road, Penrith, New South Wales 2750

"I was told by a friend that they always eat here, so we decided to go and grab a bite. we arrived and the place was empty and i tried ordering the negri box off the menu and I was told they don't have it anymore. I asked for another roll from their menu and they told me we don't stock it anymore. after a few more failed picks I chose the Catsu don and my friend the chicken Caragi. Roughly 20 seconds later i decided I'd rather the fried salmon instead of the chicken and when i clicked the bell our plates came out and I was mind blown that the speed of food that came out and this wasn't a good thing as I immediately knew it's not fresh. I asked if this was reheated and she said yes with a proud smile on her face. I told her I would like them both fresh!. Then I told her to change my chicken for the don to the Salmon. she said ok and tried changing me $17 extra and then decided i shouldn't be paying. the dishes came out and they where not fresh but refried the skin of the salmon and chicken was soggy and salmon like food poisoning on its way. I took my Salmon back and said is this fresh just to see her reaction and she lied to my face. I told her I have a background in the food industry and there's no way that's fresh. I asked if it was retried and she made an excuse by saying they fried it with sweet chilli sauce all over it. I looked at her with disgust that she thought I was like every fool that entered her place of business. I told her it's all good you take it I sat down and looked at my mate and said I would never take your advice about what is good food. I watched him as he disgustingly ate the soggy caragi and then the lady offered me something else I replied, I honestly don't trust anything off your many and that you've insulated the great people of Japan. she asked if i want a refund I usually say no but this time I took it. I suggest staying away from this horrific restaurant and I wish a food and health inspector would visit this place. Good needs to introduce 0stars. Im sorry they dont receive 1Star but 0stars go at own risk!.."

"Had the teriyaki chicken donburi bowl and my partner had a bit of rubber band that was cooked in with the egg. He went back into let them know that they had rubber bands cooked into the meal and he was only met with rudeness as the lady at the counter denied it was even their rubber bands. We have eaten here before with no problem and loved the food but this is disgusting food health and safety and for them to deny it as well! We will never be eating here again and I don't recommend this particular Asuka."

"Arrived at approx 8:25pm on my way home from work to get dinner. Took a few minutes to decide what I wanted. Then waited to be served. After I told the lady my order I was told that the kitchen closes at 8:30, I replied with a ‘few just made it’ they refused to cook anything. Their hours say open till 9pm but I guess that’s not true. Bit disappointed really. Maybe they need to advertise that they don’t cook after 8:30 so next time I won’t bother"

"Service and atmosphere was nice. The food was relatively inexpensive and came out quickly. I ordered a chicken katsu curry. The curry was just a tad watery but it was still nice."

"Giving five star for the food. But downgraded to 1 star for the awful service. The lady at the counter had a very bad attitude that just made me feel angry. It wasn't what she said but it's the way she looked at me and my partner. Made us feel unwelcomed. I guess that's why people are uber ordering to avoid that person"
