Akaihana is a long-standing favorite sushi restaurant, offering delicious sushi and great prices during happy hour. The dynamite salad is a must-try, and their homemade soy sauce is liquid gold. The salmon nigiri is especially good. The atmosphere is simple yet welcoming, and the staff is friendly and personable. Renovations have enhanced the dining experience, making it a top choice for sushi lovers who are willing to drive the distance for favorites like the blue flame roll and spicy shrimp. The restaurant features a large menu with a variety of sushi options, including many without shellfish. The fancier rolls are a bit pricey even at happy hour, but the basics are affordable and satisfying. They serve hot green tea throughout the meal, adding to the enjoyable experience. The staff, including attentive servers like David, always ensure a great visit. On busy Friday nights, service may be slower, but there are enough tables to avoid waiting. The restaurant is kid-friendly and wheelchair accessible, making it a convenient spot for all guests. Many customers have become regulars, enjoying the welcoming atmosphere and quality food that never disappoints.
