Cafe Asia

We have been going to Cafe Asia at least once a week for over three years now. I never really liked sushi that much until I started going there. Their sushi is almost always of very good quality and it is hard to beat $1 sushi happy hours and cheap drinks for 3.5 hours AND 6 days a week! The bartenders are amazing and we love going there every week. My only complaint is that I wish they would upgrade the TVs and sound system so that we can watch the game(s) there, instead of having to go somewhere else when they come on.

Excellent sushi! The fish was soft and buttery like it's supposed to be. Not a single tough piece. The atmosphere is fun and boisterous and the nigiri pieces were a bit on the small side but then I was there for $1 per-piece happy hour so that could explain it. Overall a good experience and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

I was taken here by my manager to have lunch. This place was packed and they tried to leverage evey inch of space and put as many tables as they can. It was pretty difficult to walk around and I was very uncomfortable at first because we were literally one arm length from touching the people who sat around us. But as my manager and I started getting in our conversation, it really didn't matter much anymore because everyone just mind their own and seemed to be used to this environment. Despite the business, our orders did not take long at all, and our sushi came rolled perfectly. We also ordered soup, edamame and fried tofu. Everything was delicious. Our cups were never empty. I can see why this place is so busy everyday because they can keep up with the quality and speed. Very nice restaurant!!

Overall, Cafe Asia is a very nice place to eat, especially if you are taking out friends or family who are in town. They have delicious food, and have a pretty extensive sushi menu from what I remember. While it can be a little pricey, I feel like it is money well spent. The restaurant has been very clean every time I have gone and has an impressive, modern décor that is pleasing to the eyes. It is always busy on weeknights (assumedly from the large crowds coming from local offices), but seems to be pretty slow on the weekends (which is when I'd recommend coming). They have a very large projected TV screen that makes for a nice venue to enjoy a sporting event; I saw plenty of people there during the NBA Playoffs.

Its really nice in here - every time I go it's been very clean and I've always been seated quickly. Overall I think the food is good but I stick to my regulars (fried rice, spring rolls, stir fried veggies, and sushi). I tried the Pad Thai there twice but was not impressed either time. In the spring and summer they open up their patio seating which, luckily, is always in the shade.

This is my go to Asian place in Arlington. Little known fact- they WILL deliver! You just have to call. They cover all possible Asian food cravings, so I can get wonton soup and pad Thai at the same time, which is great when I don't want to pick a cuisine. I mostly do delivery, but have eaten there as well. The decor and atmosphere is pleasant and happy hour has great deals on drinks and sushi. I would recommend the pork spring rolls (especially delicious), pad Thai, curry fried rice, wonton soup, and cafe Asia sushi roll. It's also reasonably priced for the amount of food they give and delivery is usually very quick depending on day/time. Love this place! The only downside is no online ordering, but maybe this will change.

Very poor service and long wait to get service once seated. The FOOD is not really great. It is not fresh and the sushi/sashimi is not fresh or authentic. Think of like eating in a fast food restaurant. Don't expect fine dining nor authentic Chinese, Japanese or Korean dishes. None come close to eating in a Chinese or Korean or Japanese restaurant. Don't expect to be pleased or amaze with the menu. The restroom also smells and dirty.

I think Cafe Asia is clearly the unofficial sponsor of my recent injury, having delivered many a dinner to my new place. They always cite a delivery time of 40 minutes and show up at my doorstep within 15-20. How can I not be pleased? But seriously, their sushi is my personal favorite in the area. Love their spicy fresh crab roll, their eel and avocado roll, and especially the crab wonton appetizer.
