This restaurant serves delicious Sushi. The fish tasted fresh and the service was good.
The service might be a bit slow before dinner but I'll be worth it.

Went in for birthday dinner with family. Friendly staff and quick service. Food was good quality
so yummy!! Me and my boyfriend ate 3 sushi plates + nagiri. I was pretty full afterwards. They had so many options. I really loved...ALL OF THEM !!! The servers are so sweet🤗 This sushi might be the best in town. It is in a cute little location.
The best tempura I've ever had.

Excellent service and the sashimi was so fresh ! My husband and our friend had combo plates but I had the Chef's Choice sashimi and I'd go back there in a heartbeat!
Reserved an outside table in mid June for wife's birthday. Received a call just a couple hours before outside table not available as advertised on website. Switched to take out and they left out a dinner. Food was over priced and not very good. Unprofessional and underwhelming, not honest or accommodating even on special occasion request. We will not go back.
Everything was delicious, including the veggie gyouza.
This place was fantastic. The service was 100%. The restaurant ambiance was five star. I really liked this restaurant, but I didn't think that cost was accurate for the taste. I thought the food was good but everything else was incredible. I love how they do their sake set up too!
Great food and service!
Had a reservation for 5 on Mother's Day. Got seated quickly but took 1.5 hours for food to arrive. No one came to check on us in between to update us or pour us more tea we had to flag waiters down. They also forgot one dish and we decided to just leave it out since we waited so long already. The place was not packed when we got there and others started getting their food before us and they got seated after us. They never explained what happened in the kitchen just that it was busy. Was disappointing customer service and food is mediocre.

Two couples getting together for a casual Sunday lunch and conversation at Akemi. Great Japanese combos and bentos. Generously-sized portions, pleasant and attentive waitress. We enjoyed tonkatsu, tempura, salmon, miso soup and sides (especially refreshing cabbage salad and delicious brussels sprouts!). Background music not loud. Pricier but well worth it, IMO. Restaurant's signage is subtle so be on the lookout if it's a first visit--we initially drove right by it.
One of our longstanding favorite restaurants. Beautifully decorated with delicious sushi.
Nomuna was a spectacular server, I've been in the industry for over 20 years in various Front Of House positions. I know good servers when I see them. Nomuna was the best server I've had in a very very long time. I noticed that she was the person the other servers went to when they had a problem, first. She handled the other servers problems, while taking care of several tables, like it was nothing. Her guidance and knowledge took my experience from a 3/5 to a 7/5. All Restaurants should have someone like her! 100/100 service!
Good, but the lion king was cold for some reason. Everything else was good, the cooked salmon was great, and the fresh hamachi too. Great miso soup.
I liked the salmon combo.
Authentic taste and very good to restore the energy.
