Great Sushi

by Stogyboy at Citysearch

We have been eating here for years. They have an awesome selection of fish, their Uni is matched by none, We like to sit at the Sushi bar for the extra treats.

Ordering a beer, saki or anything else off the menu can take forever and it seems like that portion of the order is wrong.

If you are looking for great sushi though, it is the place to go.

• Pros: Freshest fish around
• Cons: Wait staff are not attentive and plan on staying awhile

Great Japanese food almost authentic

by sconestiramisu at Citysearch

I have been going to Akasaka since the early '90s and it is still my Japanese restaurant of choice. I have been to Japan over 3 times and Akasaka has one of the closest to Authentic tastes. The donkatsu (pork cutlet) with sauce is very filling and satisfying to the palate. The sushi of any kinds, especially rolls are not filled with junk, but good quality fish and vegetables. If ordering the Korean food, the free appetizers/side dishes are the best of any Korean restaurant statewide. The Japanese appetizers, on the other hand, are not as authentic as hoped for. They are relatively okay, but very pricey. Overall, I would say stop by about 3 times a month and you'll be happy.

• Pros: Great Udon and sushi
• Cons: appetizers are expensive

Awesome sushi and great Korean BBQ

by imperialgarlic at Citysearch

The food was really good. I had both the Korean and Japanese. The Korean was a little more expensive that what I'm used to, but nonetheless it was still great. Sushi was decently priced and was very fresh. Definitely recommend you to try it :)

Very Slow Service

by coconutz at Citysearch

I went here for the first time on my birthday. Me and some of my friends went there this past Saturday. We waited for about 20 minutes just order some drinks and appetizers. Infact, I had to go out and ask that a waitress be sent to our section. Then we waited about another 15 minutes before the drinks even came out to us. The dinner took about 30 minutes or more to come out after the already long wait on the drinks appetizers. One of my friends only order was California Rolls. Her's was the last thing to come of the kitchen. Everyone elses dinners was coming out here and there. Finally almost an hour later, then her California rolls comes out. Thats just way to long of a wait for California Rolls. The food was alright, it definitely was not good enough to make me forget about the LONG wait. I would not recommend going there unless you have a lot of time and don't mind being forgotten.

• Pros: Variety of Japanese and Korean foods
• Cons: Very slow service, and the food was average if that.

Yuummmm

I have driven by this place a couple of times and curiosity finally won me over.

The service - we were seated promptly and our waitress was pleasant and helpful. The people are friendly and willing to assist you questions.

The food - the sushi is fresh and delightful. The food portions for their entrees are big enough to be shared between two people or take home for later. I had the seafood Yaki Soba and I couldn't finish it all. There is even a large fish tank with a variety of shellfishes and eels in the middle of the restaurant.

The atmosphere - calm and relaxing (since we came before the dinner rush). The tatami rooms are very nice and great for large parties.
