Everything is so flavorful and fresh, packed with love . Spicy California Roll and Amazing Roll are so good. I never liked sushi until i tried this place- now i’m obsessed! the spicy mayo is so tasty. only issue was they only gave me 1 out of 2 of the orders of california rolls but i got refunded through doordash.

I lived in the Poughkeepsie area for over 6 years and ate here probably over 100 times. You will not find better sushi at this price within 100 miles. If you’re looking for sushi, this is the place to go.

Fantastic service! I was stuck on the Amtrak platform for four hours. I called the pub next door and they wouldn’t walk me over food. But Akari played ball and was so gracious to meet me at the platform (I couldn’t leave as our train was going to leave any minute, allegedly.)
Thank you so much to the Akari team! The sushi and the fried shrimp appetizer were solid!
