Overall delicious! I enjoyed the sushi and they give you fresh fish. Only downside is that it is pretty packed and food can take some time to come but not a big deal! Would recommend because of all the options and definitely get the tempura
At Akinos, the sushi buffet format is like your regular AYCE sushi places where you mark up a checklist of their menu. The sushi is good in that the flavour of the fish and the sushis in general are excellent. However, the reason why I gave the restaurant a 3 is because the plates they give you are not real plates. I am not sure whether it is because of COVID, but the plates the restaurant give you are take out sushi boxes. In addition, usually sushi buffets offer unlimited ice cream but this place offers only once after you follow them on instagram. So make sure you have an instagram account ready!! Other than these criticisms, the food is flavourful and tasty and the service was attentive and welcoming which makes this restaurant deserve its 3 stars.
We’ve been coming here for a while and it’s pretty good quality AYCE sushi. The prices have gone up significantly the past few years just like everything else which is completely understandable (from $26 to about $35 now? ). So we go here much less now.Salmon sashimi is our favorite. Along with salmon maki and hand rolls. The staff is pretty great. Whenever they’re not super packed or super busy, they’re very attentive. Everything is fresh and I appreciate the fact that I can just fill out the paper menu instead of having to ask for some many things at once when ordering.Parking can be a nightmare especially now that there is even less parking with the outdoor installation.Overall, I definitely recommend this place if you’re super hungry and in the mood for sushi. If you’re not going to eat as much, it might not be worth it with the new prices.
The food is simply fabulous and my Russian friend loves the sushi and grilled salmon.Best sushi buffet in NYC!!!
Great Spot with great price. The sushis are good size. All you can eat sushi
I have been here two times. Coming from a sushi connoisseur, the fish is always fresh (especially the salmon), and the portions are smaller than a normal sushi restaurant (although I'm thankful for that because it is AYCE, just make sure to order more of your favorites!). I really like how this establishment lets you order sashimi, ikura, and surf clams as opposed to a normal AYCE sushi place. If you really want to get the biggest bang for your buck, skip the rolls/appetizers and go straight to the sashimi :))) The staff is also really friendly. I paid $36.99 + tip/tax -> $45 per person for a Saturday dinner. We also got free ice cream for following them on Instagram (choice of green tea, red bean, and vanilla). I would go here more often if it wasn't so expensive, since this is definitely one of the more luxurious places. If you want to pay more than $10 less, then I suggest going to Brooklyn for AYCE sushi.
Akino got clean environment, and the food is fresh make, I really like the Eel fried rice, taste awesome, but I don't recommended their Japanese Rice Pizza, which will fill up my stomach before I try other good Sushi... :-)
I don’t enjoy sushi at all, but this is the only spot I can really enjoy sushi. This spot makes great sushi that literally tastes amazing. I will never eat sushi from anywhere else except from Akino. I am not even joking their sushi is the best. Akino> all other sushi ? ?Btw it’s all you can eatIf you go late it’s a lot moreThe only thing I don’t like is when they keep saying “tip is not Included” which can get annoying. And makes me not want to even tip.Other than that great spot
Super fresh sashimi for dinner. The appetizers, especially the bomb and the sushi pizza were really good.The food came out super fast, especially for a fully packed restaurant on a Saturday night. The service was super attentive, servers were always nearby to refill water, take away plates, or take your next order.The outdoor space is well designed and a super pleasant experience. It started raining while we were there and we didn’t even notice.
All-you-can-eat for an amazing deal!!! I actually had no idea it was all-you-can-eat when I decided to come here and was pleasantly surprised as I was super hungry and I believe the deal was $36. You just have to eat all pieces you receive or pay for the ones you don’t finish. The quality was awesome- better than any regular neighborhood sushi spot in Manhattan. I was a bit cold but we ate outside and the outdoor structure blocked out the cold which I appreciated, but if you are looking for an outdoor structure with more ventilation due to covid then it might not be ideal. Service was good- the staff were really working hard to accommodate a ton of people ordering all-you-can-eat. We’re already planning to go back with more friends in a few weeks!
