Update (December, 2016): Another positive experience with quality sushi rolls and steak fried rice. 

We definitely prefer this location (as opposed to Brannon Crossing), which offers an extremely clean, comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, friendly service, and a well-paced meal. The highlights of the meal were the shrimp (and vegetable - mushroom, broccoli, squash and sweet potato) tempura, which consisted of perfectly thin crust that did not dominate the underlying flavors of the shrimp and vegetables, and the Teppanyaki steak, which was served with fried rice. We also ordered the Yakitori (skewered chicken), which would have been quite tasty if not overcooked on one side. As for the sushi, I agree with other reviewers in that there are certainly better options in Lexington, but overall, Asuka's sushi rolls are serviceable. I ordered the tuna, the Philly, the Surf N Turf (fried fish, asparagus and avocado, with sliced steak on top) and the Smokey Bear (fried salmon and avocado, with smoked salmon and avocado on top) - my main complaints were that the sliced steak was too tough and the smoked salmon was too strong (no subtle smoke here). Yes, prices are high, but for us, there are plenty of reasons to return.

Excellent!. I had just about given up on Japanese cuisine in our area. It seems they all cut corners, cut proper service, and have cheapened the food beyond belief. However, Asuka in Hamburg gets it right! Our Chef, Joey, prepared a meal with care. He did not clang and bang the tools to much, and he had a new trick I had not seen before-bubbling onion. My scallops were perfect, the sushi was fresh and tasty, and the rice and vegetables were cooked just right, and with seasoning as well. The wait staff, including those not working our table, all took genuine interest in our needs. That is how you do it!! Many of the Japanese restaurants in Fayette and Madison county have become a huge disappointment. We will be back and we will bring our friends! Thank You Asuka!

Great Japanese grill. Asuka is the best Japanese I've had in Lexington.

It features the standard setup of a hibachi/sushi place - you can either set at a table and order off the menu or sit at the grill.

My wife and I are never really interested in watching the food being cooked or sitting at a large table with strangers, so we always opt for the table.

I loved that the menu had a large variety of grilled meat combinations you could choose from - steak, chicken, scallops, and shrimp, which were cooked on the grill and brought to your table, with either garlic or teriyaki sauce. I had the teriyaki but in the future will probably get garlic - the portions were large and the teriyaki is a bit sweet for a large dinner entree.

They also serve soup and salad with everything, including the sushi rolls, unlike other places I've been where the come separate.

I had the gyoza, chicken and shrimp, and a lychee martini - all of which were great, especially the shrimp which were firm and flavorful, unlike some places where the shrimp doesn't taste like much of anything.

Definitely a place I'll be back to, but I would consider ordering less than usual as the entrees are large.
