Great place for lunch or dinner. They even have salmon belly and great Katsu Chicken, lighted breaded, moist. Great service and fair cost. 5 🌟
The service was exceptional and super attentive. The environment looks much better in person. The food was fair, but it could taste better. They handed flowers out to all women too!
Great Asian fusion spot! Lunch menu is awesome too, come anytime
Service is absolutely horrible and they need to be faster with giving us the check
Consistently good food, Constantly poor service, especially during lunch. The good value of the lunch menu options outweighs the poor service most of the time, but this is not true for in the evening
Great food! Amazing staff! Relaxing environment! I can't remember our servers name, but oh my goodness! He's just amazing and makes the best sweet tea!
Akashi, a restaurant offering a mix of Chinese and Japanese dishes, provided an overall pleasant dining experience, though there were a few hits and misses in our meal. My husband opted for the sashimi platter and a spicy scallop hand roll, both of which he absolutely loved. The sashimi was fresh, and the hand roll had a satisfying balance of flavors and a slight kick from the spice, making it a standout.
I went with the family entree, which came with a choice of soup. I chose the wonton soup, but unfortunately, the wontons didn’t meet expectations. The texture was off, though the broth itself was flavorful and comforting. The appetizer platter included an egg roll, which turned out to be my favorite part of the meal, along with a fried shrimp and a crab wonton. While the shrimp was fine, the crab wonton had a creamy filling that I found a bit rich but still enjoyable.
For my entree, I selected the Mongolian beef, but it was a letdown. The dish was far too charred, overpowering the natural flavors of the beef and lacking the anticipated spice. It felt like the dish had missed its mark in flavor balance.
On a positive note, the atmosphere at Akashi was warm and welcoming, with friendly service that made us feel comfortable throughout the meal. While some of the dishes were great, others, like the Mongolian beef and wontons, left something to be desired. Still, the restaurant shows promise, particularly for those in the mood for fresh sushi or satisfying appetizers.
Nice place and friendly staff! I placed a to go order on their website, and I ordered the salad w ginger dressing and the 3 roll sushi deal. It was delish! Ginger dressing was on point and the rolls were fresh
Cosy Japanese/ Thai food. As they make mostly all main dishes vegetarian it gets 5*.
Vegetarian sushi was good but could have more options. Beer cold enough to please my german mute, too🍻🤘🍻
Really disappointed
Food Flavorless
The portions are every time small and rice is falling apart
It is evident there is either a new sushi shed in the kitchen or they are trying to make more profit on each order
This was a place I really enjoy the service and ambiance. It more importantly their top notch sushi, that is now average at best , hope they change their chef or revise their policy
