This place is amazing! The service is exceptional and friendly, and they make sure you have whatever you need. The restaurant is clean, the seats are comfortable, and there is very aesthetic, color-changing lighting. There are plenty of tables equipped with a bottle of soy sauce. But what really matters about a restaurant is the food, and Akashi absolutely nails this aspect. I ordered sushi at a restaurant for the first time here, one California roll and one Philadelphia roll. Each roll consisted of 8 pieces. I really enjoyed the Philadelphia roll. The California roll was good as well, though I personally think that I would enjoy sushi with fish. Like I said, this was my first time having sushi at a restaurant, and the sushi here is delicious. The family dinner is also tasty and gives you a choice of soup, an egg roll, a crab wonton, and a choice of entree. It’s a good way to get a lot of quality food for a lower price than most places: $16.95. I also familiarized myself with chopsticks, though my younger brother caught on faster than I did. Overall, this is a must go if you’re looking for delicious food for a good price.

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.

The customer service is super friendly and helpful. However, the food is OK. I tried the hot and sour chicken and it was extremely underwhelming.
The atmosphere itself is nice and vibrant.

We came last night, food was great, restaurant was very nicely done, (feels and looks very trendy).
If they can train the hostess on at least the basics of the business, (she told me she hasn’t read the menu yet), so many customers left because the waiting time was extremely long, even though several tables were empty. And if they get a couple of professional waiters, this place will be very successful, I really really hope so. Will be coming back in a later day.
5/25/2021. We came back a few days ago. Food was fantastic! The service was incredible! The improvements are very noticeable, way to go guys!

had to sit an wait for our waitress who didn’t come out for maybe 15-20 minutes. She never came out and I tried to wave down another waiter, he proceeded to look at me and then walk off. I was shocked and wanted to order something for my friend’s birthday. I proceeded to get up after waiting another bit hoping the waitress would just come out. She never did, so I went to the bar and the guy had AirPods in. After a couple minutes I just walked back to my table and had to call the restaurant to get someone to the table. Decided just to take the check and leave. Food was good. Service sucked. Very disappointed.

This was for sure a pretty good lunch stop for us from the highway.
The server was friendly and the service took a little while but it was worth the wait. We sure had a great time here.
The ambiance is really good and would love to come again here.
The food portion was really great and flavour full.
For sure a to go place, they also have lunch specials usually all the time until 3 pm.

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!

If I could give 0 STARS I WOULD!!! I had been a loyal customer of Akashi and had constantly came to Akashi for sushi all the time!!! However I had went to go get sushi tonight and had the worst customer service EVER!! I had accidentally ordered the wrong order tonight and I had realized it when I got in my car to check the food I then went inside to see if I could switch it out for something else because the food is RAW and I don’t like raw sushi! I was very polite and calm about the situation however I was met with HOSTILITY and AGGRESSIVENESS from the MANAGER. This very unprofessional!! I had just simply stated that I wanted to switch it out however I was told no and that the ticket had already been processed and the food was already paid for then I had requested a refund for my money because I’m not going to eat raw food. I had been polite the whole time and nice about it but he still continued to be hostile! This is not okay. After I had persisted about the refund the manager had snatched the food out my hand and had went to finally give me a refund for the food. The receptionist that was there however is extremely kind!!! She had offered to get the manager for me when I had requested it and I apologized for the inconvenience it had caused her and she told me that it was fine. Honestly GREAT service from the receptionist and HORRIBLE service from the MANAGER!!

I’m really disappointed with our experience at Akashi Sushi tonight. We arrived around 7:50 PM and sat at our table for about 15 minutes without anyone greeting us, offering water, or even asking for our drink order. During that time, other customers came in after us and were helped immediately, which made the situation even more frustrating.
Several waiters were standing around, yet no one acknowledged our table. We even had to flag someone down just to try to get service, and still nothing improved. After waiting with no attention at all, we decided to leave around 8:08 PM.
It honestly makes me sad to write this because this used to be our favorite sushi place. We’ve always enjoyed coming here, but tonight’s lack of basic service and acknowledgment was extremely disappointing. I truly hope they work on improving their customer service so others don’t leave feeling the way we did.

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
