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. Customers praise the fresh sashimi, and the restaurant's ambiance is described as five-star with a great atmosphere. The sake setup is also highly regarded. The wagyu combo, chirashi don, and unagi don are popular choices, and the food is consistently delicious with fresh fish and well-cooked dishes. The take-out service is impressive, with orders ready promptly and food cooked to perfection. While the prices for some items, like beer, can be a bit high, many find the overall experience well worth the cost. The signage is subtle, so first-time visitors should be attentive. Despite being pricier, the restaurant is considered a real bargain for wonderful Japanese treats, with generous portions and attentive staff making the experience incredible.
