Reviews
Drinks and food came out quickly and everything was fresh and delicious. Our server was very attentive and consistently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. We were hosting out-of-town family, so it meant a lot that everyone had such a positive experience.
So glad we chose this spot!
I’ve been a loyal fan of Akashi’s 249 location for quite some time — the food there is consistently flavorful, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. Unfortunately, my first visit to the Beltway 8 location was a major letdown.
From the moment we entered, the warm greeting gave me hope. However, the meal quickly went downhill:
Salt & Pepper Shrimp – The batter lacked seasoning and crispiness, leaving the shrimp bland and soggy. The onion and jalapeño “salad” tasted raw and unseasoned — not the zesty, marinated mix I’ve come to expect.
Teriyaki Sea Bass Entrée – Served as three small fillets with a sauce that neither looked nor tasted like teriyaki. The overall dish fell completely flat.
This experience was extremely underwhelming and unsatisfactory, especially compared to the consistently flawless dishes at the 249 location.
The first three photos are from the Beltway 8 location; the video replay is from 249 — the difference speaks for itself. Plus I’ve ordered that dish repeatedly – Take Out and Dine-In.
Our waitress, Joann, was such a sweet and attentive lady. She truly made our first visit memorable and well worth it. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning soon!
When I brought this to the manager’s attention, he dismissed the concern entirely and did not acknowledge the behavior or offer any apology. It was extremely disappointing and made us feel unwelcome.
This experience left a very negative impression, and I hope the restaurant seriously addresses how guests are treated so no one else has to feel the way we did. We decided to leave establishment will not be returning.
The owner was very rude over the phone. He said there was nothing to pick up because they had already thrown it away. He didn’t even want to check. He told me that if I wanted it, I could go back and pick it up from the trash. Very rude. Im never coming back. Go spend your money somewhere better. Food wasn’t even good.
