Asanoha - Modern Japanese Hotpot

“We stopped by for dinner after shopping at the Takashimaya Ho Chi Minh City. The gate and deco caught our eyes while we walked by, and they did not have any waiting, so we stopped by to try out the place. The servers were nice and friendly (very helpful with our niece). The food was decent, not bad but not impressive either. The quality of meats were good (fresh and tasty). Total time for order, waiting, and eating was fast.”

“Okay individual hot pot. The food and selection of soup base are good, leaving you with a lot of options. The soup is well cooked and leaving gentle taste, not too heavy feeling from a lot of seasoning. The fresh meat is nice, though I'm not recommending the fish balls and all that. The wait time for food is long, so be patient.”

“We had a very nice lunch here. Overall, the quality is very good - the beef, seafood and veggies were all very good. Our only real complaints were the signature Asanoha broth is VERY mild in flavor and they didn’t provide enough garlic, etc to get the dipping sauces (sesame and vinegar) strong enough to offset. After it cooked down (reduced) it was quite tasty. Oh, and they served warm beer, but no ice, so we had to ask several times for ice to enjoy a cold beer. That said, overall we quite liked it and the service otherwise was very good and prompt. Good place.”

“If you’re craving a satisfying Japanese hot pot experience, this restaurant delivers on all fronts. Their rich, flavorful broths perfectly complement the high-quality ingredients, including tender beef slices, fresh shrimp, vibrant vegetables, and their signature shrimp paste, which adds a delightful touch of umami. Food is delicious, making it ideal for a cozy meal with friends or family. The seating area is spacious and comfortable, with a welcoming ambiance that invites you to relax and savor every bite. Whether you’re a hot pot enthusiast or a first-timer, this spot is worth a visit! Service is a bit slow!”

“If you’re craving hot pot but don’t want to worry about breakouts, this place is a great choice. The restaurant offers a variety of Japanese side dishes alongside its main hot pot dish, such as sushi, salmon roe, grilled mackerel... The menu is well-balanced, featuring healthy options, not overly greasy or hot. The food is incredibly fresh; the shrimp paste balls are clearly made fresh, not frozen. The broths are collagen based, not salty or too spicy, and there’s an abundance of vegetables that you won't even finish. I went on March 8th and got a 50% discount on desserts. The restaurant is apparently part of the same chain as Hokkaido Sachi, so the desserts are identical. The bamboo charcoal roll and matcha ice cream were delicious. Also, modern design & spacy seating, just a bit noisy.”
