Akai Teriyaki exceeded expectations. The food was incredibly fresh, full of flavor, and prepared with great care. The restaurant was spotless and well maintained, which made the experience even better. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. I loved it and will absolutely be back. Highly recommend.

Finally tried this place out. We live down the street. Placed our order online, was order number 2. Threw on our shoes and walked over. We arrived a bit early and they were just finishing packing the order. Very friendly staff. Place looked very clean. Had a good crowd eating there already. Not a place with frills or fancy decor, but I’ll say it again, super clean. Got food home and it was delicious ! We went with cheaper rolls, California, eel and shrimp tempura. They even had a teriyaki chicken roll I was able to get for my husband, who doesn’t care for seafood. Egg rolls and edamame were good too. Edamame is pretty spicy, which I liked a lot. I wish I had taken pictures, but we were all hungry and the food was good so it is gone. I hope more people come so we get to keep this place around. Looking forward to returning

My wife and I are big fans of teriyaki and love exploring different teriyaki restaurants whenever we can. That’s why we were excited to try Akai Teriyaki, a newly opened spot in town.
The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, with limited seating, but it’s clean and welcoming. The customer service was decent—nothing over the top, but the staff was friendly enough to make the experience pleasant.
When it came to the food, however, it didn’t quite meet our expectations. The teriyaki lacked the bold, flavorful punch we’ve experienced at other local Japanese and teriyaki restaurants. The portion size was fair, and the price point was reasonable, but the taste just wasn’t memorable enough for us. Since we’ve tried other places that offer much better quality and flavor, this one didn’t stand out as a spot we’d return to.
I think Akai Teriyaki has potential as they’re still new, and perhaps the menu will improve over time. But as of now, it’s not somewhere I’d consider one of the best teriyaki spots near me.
✅ Pros:
• Fair prices
• Decent customer service
• Clean and simple atmosphere
❌ Cons:
• Food lacked flavor compared to other teriyaki places
• Small dining space
• Didn’t feel like a “must-visit” spot
Overall, Akai Teriyaki was just okay. If you’re in the area and craving Japanese teriyaki, it may be worth trying once, but for us, there are other restaurants we’d recommend first.

Delicious! I ordered the beef and shrimp teriyaki and the beef teriyaki plates, absolutely loved it. Generous portions on both plates and they are not shy with the shrimp portions you get. I got fried rice with one plate and it was one of the better fried rices that Ive had. Please support this place so it sticks around!

Came in for 1st time and its super mediocre in my opinion i got a beef/ chicken bento box the beef / chicken is super suspicious low quality fatty chewy texture they almost taste exactly the same smh and dong get me started with the egg roll ,they dont give “SWEET & SOUR” the dumplings are OK but also “NO DUMPLING SAUCE” I knew something was off when I noticed theres no sushi or tempura in the bento box but i wanted to try any way , idk how it has 5 stars I cant even give it 4

Newly opened place! The portions were large with great prices; I had the fried noodle shrimp teriyaki which was nicely flavorful and filling! The place was also clean and the service was very friendly and nice. ❤️

I was in the area and I was hungry. Walked in and the entire staff greeted me. I asked the young lady what’s good and she said everything!! That’s the best answer. I told her I’m hungry and she recommended the bento box chicken and beef teriyaki. I also ordered a sushi roll. Food was delicious and fresh. Customer service, top notch! The restaurant was clean and the AC was working. Thank you.
