I want to give 4 stars because who still requires a mask, but the sashimi was some of the best I've had, so I can't. Every piece just melted in your mouth. Customer service was great. Get rid of the mask requirement and I'd give this place 6 stars. Rolls are way overpriced but if you get 2, they are 50% off so that makes up for it.
So good! Made everyone in my family happy which is no small feat. And best San Francisco Roll ever! We live 10 minutes from here and this was our first time discovering place! We’ll be back soon!
My fiancé and I, as well as friends and family, go to Akashi all the time and have been doing so for years! They always have great sushi, and I love their sashimi; the best part is their rolls are BOGO! There was only 1 time in the 20+ times I've went that I ordered scallop sashimi (hotategai), and it was not very fresh, unfortunately but I'll still give them 5 stars because no one can be perfect 100% of the time. I also would never get a fried roll again, anywhere for that matter as we got the deep ocean, and it was rather bland. However, that's my fault for choosing something I already knew I likely wouldn't care for (it just sounded so good on the menu), lol.At any rate, this really is one of the best Sushi Restaurants in Raleigh/ Durham/ RTP if you're looking for amazing food while not breaking the bank like if you were to go to M Sushi in Durham, or even Waraji in Ralegh (no bogo and you'll spend $160-$250 on a date night for 2).. I've been to both of them several times, and M Sushi, for the cost, is the best sushi/ sashimi you will ever put in your mouth on the planet! They literally fly their food in on a daily basis from Japan and New Zealand. I will also note that I've been to 30-40 different Sushi restaurants in the Raleigh/ Durham/ RTP area so please rest assured, I am a sushi die hard and have even traveled extensively across the nation and even internationally eating sushi so you can count on me for a good, truthful review.Here's a couple pictures of our take-out last night, which does not do the dine-in presentation justice, but it was still delicious!!!
Always great sushi. Tropical sunrise, and Nemo rolls are my go to. They never miss. Highly recommend.
I truly don’t understand how this place has so many good ratings. First, we were seated by a finicky hostess who was somewhat rude. Then, maybe 5 or more minutes later, the waitress dropped by to get our drinks order - just water, since there wasn’t a soda machine (whatever, but fair warning that everything is bottled). After waiting another 10+ minutes, we just walked out. If it had been busy in there, that would’ve been normal. But there were maybe 3 other tables in there? It smelled good, but bad service is bad service, so we left.
Ate at this restaurant several years ago and gave it a good review. When I arrived at lunch there was only one other person eating. Ordered Shrimp and Scallop Hibachi and it was disappointing. The shrimp and scallops were okay but the amount of vegetables wasn't good. This isn't a cheap restaurant and they give you plastic utensils that didn't help the atmosphere. The service was friendly and efficient until I waited for the waitress to pick up my credit card. The bar area where there were about 4 staff talking all of a sudden became very quiet. So quiet that I thought they shut down the place at their lunch closing time at 2 o'clock and left me. You could not see over the bar area. About 10 minutes later I got up from the table and yelled out hello. There was my waitress just sitting there at the bar. Wonder how much longer I would have waited. Needless to say I will not be back
Love it a lot! Really nice foods and services!!
Absolutely wonderful! The ingredients were fresh, and the rolls were crafted to deliver exquisite taste, presented in a pleasing fashion! I enjoyed every bite and look forward to more sushi during lunch! ?
Had a very meh experience on Saturday night (10/23). We weren't acknowledge for about 5 minutes after walking in but that part was fine cause you could see the workers hustling and bustling around. I ordered the salmon bento box, this must have been the cheapest cut of salmon because I literally had to question if it was really fish. My daughter had the chicken bento box which was more veggies than chicken and my hubby had the hibachi combo. The service was nice but the food left much to be desired so we probably would pass on this spot the next time.
Amazing sushi! Great service, lots of menu options.
