If you are looking for wonderful food served by good people, excellent fresh sushi at a good price can be found at this intimate mom-and-pop spot in College Point. We happened upon Akiyama while looking for dinner after most places in the area had closed for the night. We were presented with a most enjoyable meal of, beef-negimaki, New York maki, wasabi shumai, una-ju, tea and plum wine … and a lovely after-dinner discussion with the owner and a regular customer. All of the food was just great: the negimaki was tender and flavorful, the wasabi shumai had just the right bite. Each of the other dishes also didn’t disappoint. We intend to be back … often. Free off-street parking and a warm ambience inside seal the deal. In a city swimming in sushi restaurants, this little gem, tucked away in the northeastern corner of Queens is one not to be missed.

I use to work in this area 12 years ago. This was my place for sushi. It was fresh and the owner and staff are AWESOME!! But then we on strike and I changed my career when the union gave up. Now after all of the years I decided to return back to the area. My wife was at the Spa Castle the night before for here birthday. I decided to make reservations for Valentine Day. At 5pm when they reopen. We was on time and was greeted with a BIG & WARM smile. We was seated and given our menu. The restaurant was as I remembered the staff are still the same as before. That's a plus for restaurant these days. The food is still fresh and AWESOME !! tasteful delicious. They had remembered my wife and I. Which tells you they care for they customers. We back again making this our sushi place. It was a joy seeing people who cares for the establishment.

I was getting the lunch special with my sister on 1/12 I placed my order and picked it up as soon as I walked in I felt the vibe was off as I’ve gotten the lunch special before as I was eating my sushi there was a small hair I left it and starting drinking my soup however as I was about to take a sip and grabbed a spoonful I saw a medium length hair and I was done I went back in and she told me it might be my hair, mind you I’m a hijabi I was upset and she gave me two dollars back after telling me she doesn’t know what to do with the soup she told me to take it and I took it and threw it out outside. As I have worked in a food establishment in the past if anyone ever found hair in their food we would refund them or make them a new order, won’t be coming back they have just lost a loyal customer.

Ordered for takeout and was blown away! I always loved this spot but haven’t been in a long time, so glad we stopped by. The food was packaged and presented beautifully and all of the fish was easily the best you can find in the area in my opinion! I haven’t been impressed by sushi like this in years! I’m so glad they are still around and serving amazing food.

The waitress had an attitude. I wouldn’t recommend coming when she is here. Overall, the food is good though. Additionally, if you want your miso soup to have a used elastic rubber band, then this is the place to go to.

The Japanese sushi is fresh and tasty. I especially like dynamite and Japanese pizza. Definitely, a good restaurant to enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine. The waiter is friendly and helpful. Hope to visit the restaurant again soon.
Great lunch special, tough location but excellent all around.

I didn’t know this place was so small. We had a table of 5 which was so squishy and crowded. But that’s fine. There was barely any people there so when we got our orders, you would think it would come quickly, right? No. It came out like and HOUR later and I’m not even joking… it took so long that the candle even worn out by the time we got our foods. Anyways, it the food was good though.

Had dinner here and the food was pretty good. I would say though, the wait time for the food was pretty long. There was a freshly lit candle next to us and we watched the whole thing blow out by the time the food was served. Waiters are very nice though.
