AKEMI Japanese Restaurant offers excellent and sometimes unusual Japanese cuisine. The standout dishes include the cucumber salad and shrimp tempura. The service is quick and unobtrusive, though the dining areas can be noisy. The menu features a variety of delicious options, including salads, sushi, and bento boxes. The take-out service is impressive, with orders ready promptly and food cooked to perfection.
Customers praise the excellent service and the fresh sashimi. The restaurant's ambiance is described as five-star, and the sake setup is also highly regarded. While the food is good, the overall experience is considered incredible, with generously-sized portions and a pleasant, attentive waitstaff. The restaurant's signage is subtle, so first-time visitors should be on the lookout. Despite being pricier, the restaurant is well worth the cost, according to the reviews.
