Akarui absolutely blew us away. Everything was next level from start to finish. We ordered the Chashu buns, vegetable gyozas, and the Spicy Chicken Tonkatsu Ramen and wow… every single bite was incredible. You can tell real care goes into this food.
Hands down one of the best meals we have had in a long time. This will forever be a must stop spot anytime we are in town. Highly, highly recommend.

Akarui truly lives up to its name—“Akarui” means bright and cheerful, and that energy carries through the entire experience. The space is spotless and welcoming, setting the tone for a great meal from the start.

The fish was incredibly fresh, clean-tasting, and high quality—beautifully prepared and easy on the stomach. Every bite felt thoughtfully done. The waitress was fantastic and clearly knew the menu well; her recommendations made ordering a breeze and led us to some excellent choices.

Friendly service, fresh fish, and a bright, inviting atmosphere. If we’re ever back in Omaha, this is absolutely a spot we’d return to. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates quality seafood and great service.

Keep doing what you’re doing, Akarui!

First time trying this place and I couldn’t be happier.

Chashu Buns and Vegetable Gyozas to start. Absolute bangers.

Spicy Chicken Katsu – nailed it. We ate far too much. Fantastic stop. Will make a stop whenever we’re in town.

Great stop for fuel before a show!! Very welcoming and clean. Ramen was fabulous. There is a spice on the tables that made everything better will be back for more!!

This place is pretty good in terms of Japanese food. I ordered sushi and sashimi mix. The price was very reasonable and the quality of fish was really fresh and enjoyable and I could not expect anything more from a sushi place located in Midwest. The atmosphere was modern and giving the location in downtown Omaha I would say pretty appealing. I would certainly recommend this as a quick launch bite for anyone who is into Asian cuisine.

Loved all the options. It was cool and easy and fun! Will definitely go again. Even got kids chop sticks so we could learn to eat it more traditionally. Waiter was so patient and helpful. Process seemed fair.

So good I had to stop twice.

My lady and I stopped here for a quick supper and were very impressed with our meals. She had a custom poke bowl, and I had a seared tuna salad. Both were excellent.

We stopped back the next day for lunch.She had a different poke bowl, and I had the chicken fried rice. Again both dishes were excellent.

My lady also had a couple of the specialty drinks and she really enjoyed them.

This downtown gem doesn’t just serve food—it serves attitude, heat, and a little emotional chaos in a bowl. I walked in craving something bold and walked out wondering if I’d just had a fling with a Poké bowl that knew how to ruin me—in the best way.

The spicy Poké bowl? A full-on flavor riot. It didn’t ask for permission—it just hit me with that perfect burn, balanced by fresh toppings that cooled things down just enough to keep me begging for more. It’s the kind of bowl that makes you text your ex just to say, “I’ve moved on. And it’s hotter.”

Then came the ramen. Deep, rich broth with noodles that had bounce and bite, like they were trained in emotional resilience. Flirty but dangerous. It warmed me up and whispered, “You’re mine now.”

And the bar? Adorable. That will be my next try on my for sure next visit!

Final verdict: This spot is a spicy little heartbreaker. Come hungry, leave sweaty, and maybe a little emotionally compromised.

2nd visit to Akarui. The spicy chicken ramen is so good. I wish I could convince a TSA agent to let me bring home a gallon of the broth. I would drink it every day.

Last minute decision to eat out. My person came into town and we decided to eat driving from Epply. Walked in and was not asked where would like to eat. I usually eat at booths because I like the comfort and privacy. We were sat under a central air controlling unit for the room along the West window. Uncomfortable immediately.

I hadn’t seen my friend for a while and wanted privacy and a comfortable space to hold hands. We wanted to move to a booth 15 feet away and was told no by the hosting team. Apparently the booth area is closed because the team wants to consolidate everyone to a central area in the middle to be able to clean easier. There was no moving this policy. At my age of 40+, when I decide to give money to a restaurant it is expected to be a comfortable atmosphere and an experience I enjoy with my person.

A reasonable table relocation request is not expected to be what is easiest for the hosting team to leave quickly.

Will not return or recommend. In fact, I will tell many people about this experience until i am tired and ready to move on.
