Our granddaughter chose Akashi for her dinner out after her first Nutcracker performance. She is nine and loves the California roll. The bento box here is a excellent value and the food is uniformly quite good. The server went out of her way to accommodate our just turned three year-old grandson. The service is timely and consistent but not overbearing. The people are kind. It’s located in a strip mall and not anything fancy, but the atmosphere was quite cozy.

Lunchtime. My first experience dining here at this sushi restaurant. Sushi rolls were delicious. The Japanese chicken curry was a tad salty and watery but the two carrots, three pieces of potato, and the three pieces of chicken were well cooked. I poured the curry over my rice and it improved the balance of flavor immediately. I am looking to have lunch here again with my friends.

I'm going to be honest. I expected more from the reviews. 5 stars for the service. The rest... not so much.
I ordered the steak bento with a side of Hamachi.
The salad and soup came quick. The dressing was surprisingly tasty. The soup was very average.
The bento was full. It looked good. Unfortunately it was very bland. The fried rice was bland and boring. The California rolls were nothing special. The vegetable tempura was okay. There was a weird thousand island-type sauce that I think was for dipping the steak cubes in. The teriyaki steak cubes were tender, but once again barely flavorful - even with the teriyaki sauce. The onions and zucchini were good.
The sashimi arrived after my bento. The 3 pieces were pretty good, and I liked the presentation.
The only option I had to add flavor was Wasabi and soy sauce. So that's what I did.
All in all, a highly forgettable meal, I'm sad to say.

I've been here many times, mostly for takeout. I've gotten the bento boxes and hibachi, both of which have generous portions. I had sushi for the first time yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. The fish was sliced a bit thicker than average and was fresh. The sushi was BOGO too. It was all delicious. The staff are friendly.

My husband and I have been loving this spot while in the triangle for over 8 years now! The service and food is superior. I love taking my loved ones and family here as a “welcome to Durham” meal. The owners really care about their business and we’ve greatly enjoyed watching the business grow over the years. 💚 Thanks for making us lunch and dinner a ton over the years!
