Ashokai is maybe not the
best Japanese restaurant in Casablanca, nevertheless it deserves to
be considered as a fun and convenient option for group dinners due to
its centric location and unbeatable price. In a quiet spot of
Gauthier, Ashokai looks more like a normal coffee shop than a
Japanese restaurant, bright light, white sofas and apparently only 1
CD, Ashokai remains a fun place to meet up your friends and be loud.
The clients are young and clean, the waiters are kind and
unpretentious, and the menu options are very complete with all the classics
you may want in a Japanese. They do not have alcohol license, which
only means that the bill is always surprisingly low. Last time we
were a group of 8 people, we ordered some menu that included more
than 100 pieces and came with a tasty miso soup as a starter. The
sushis were good and fresh enough, and with quite a lot of variety.
We did not manage to finish them. Desserts were not Japanese at all
but in any case they had the classics one may like: cheese cake,
banofie pie, tiramisú, mousse de chocolat, etc the most expensive being 30 dhs. The bill arrived,
including drinks, we divided by 8, the result: 140dhs each, that considering what we ate
is an outstanding value.
We have tried to order take away and
was equally satisfactory if not very quick. So if you want a cheap
Japanese lunch/dinner before doing a Harakiri, Ashokai may be a good option.
