• Quite, no kids and modest.
• Its sushi was not a double burger.

“With it's Nippon feel, you can relax and listen to the music. The kind waitress waited on our table and gave us everything we needed and then some. Moist towels, the warmest sake I've had in ages, and polite conversation with the sushi chef topped it all off. Much more settled down than Asuka, but more authentic than Ichiban. I came in with a sore throat but the Miso soup cured that in second, I was surprised to find seaweed in it! The meal was quite tasty and I could taste the sake in the rice and the flame on the beef for the sushi. With a regret, I feel that they went overboard with the cooled glasses and modesty of the staff. The wait was quick. We went right after the break after lunch and before the rush. One cook, one sushi chef, was always on duty, it would be bothersome to both the guest and staff to go during a rush and act shocked that there is wait for twelve seat restaurant. After the meal, the chef treated mochi and let us try a great bean paste waffle that was grilled to be eaten. All in all, rather than go to Naples or Tampa or even Kanto, Animotos is worth every bite.”

• Best tasting food!
• Under priced for the quality of food.

“During my visit today, I ordered Salmon Tataki, Yami Yami roll and a side of Squid Salad. It was some of the best food I have ever ate! The owner himself was working the sushi bar and I have to say, He cannot speak great English but he makes you feel like family. After talking with Su, he gave me a free salmon cookie. It is to die for! The staff is much the same as any staff. If your polite to them the are more than polite to you. I have been told that its nice to be important, but its more important to be nice. There is a sushi buffet down the street as well, but after trying there food and getting sick, I would not feed it to my dog. The flavor was bad. Fish was not fresh and the staff could care less you were there. ASUKA is the best place in town and one of the best in the state. I travel often and compare others to ASUKA! Some times you may wait a little for service, but its usually busy. The portions are more than most others and the rolls are bigger too.”

• Hard to find a positive thing.
• Bad service, it was so hot and uncomfortable and they wouldn't lower the AC. The portions of food was stingy, a joke.

“I had dinner at here last week. We were a party of 12. The chef cooked the dinner in front of us and he was nice and the little food we had was ok, but there was hardly any food. I had a few tiny bites of chicken, a very little rice and a few pieces of o”

• The food.
• Service.

“I think the food here is very good however the atmosphere and the service is not very good. Be ready to sit for 20 -30 minutes while you try to flag down your waiter or waitress to fill your drink or for anything else you may need or want. A few times they never returned to our table at all after we received our meal, we had to ask the sushi chef for drinks. If that isn't bad enough, when you want your bill, you wait again. The wait staff clearly doesn't care, this is well known with their comments they continuously make out loud. Its a tough call because I feel Asuka does have the best Sushi in Port Charlotte however is it worth the agony of having terrible service? ”
