Akasaka

Decided to try this place with my boyfriend. Who never had sushi & the sushi didn’t seem as fresh we got cali rolls and shrimp tempura. The service sucked and when I didn’t leave tip the guy was slamming everything @ the register never coming back

I enjoyed every course of my lunch here. The green tea was good quality (for the free house tea), and they have great lunch specials with several options. You aren’t restricted to just teriyaki chicken and California rolls.
The presentation of my bento box looked like small portions, but it was very filling and well made. Freshness is probably the most important thing at a Japanese restaurant, and everything I ate passed the fresh test. It gets busy at lunch and the parking lot is packed (and has risky drivers who aren’t paying attention as they look for a spot or are zooming through, so be warned) so I recommend trying to get there as soon as possible.

I decided to try the place that I haven’t been to but I was disappointed. Food was ok very poor service and no one seem to be able to understand English in this place.

One of my favorite Japanese sushi cuisine. The quality is awesome, menu has a lot of variety, you can taste the freshness in everything. Especially I love the tea pot soup and candy roll!

Miso soup was excellent, sushi and sashimi was fresh and taste. The service was very attentive. Besides our waitress several other employees would refill water, clear dishes, etc. I believe the owners walked around and talked with customers.

Sushi in this place is always freshly made. Service is fast. Servers are always attentive. The owner Michael is very friendly. we have been dining here regularly at least 3x a month. I’m glad there’s a decent Japanese restaurant near my place.

Sushi was extremely fresh and customer service was excellent. Workers were very attentive. Only downside: the lunch menu seemed confusing and waitress wasn’t exactly able to provide suggestions for what I requested. Otherwise, great spot for lunch!

Five stars for excellent sushi and sashimi!!!
Unbelievable freshness and generous portions.
Customer service is great!
Kick back place and comfy environment.
You have to try their Uni nigiri if you are a fan.
Onigiris would have been heaven if they had it.
Unique sushi and sashimi combos is a must try.
Yakisoba is another you guys have to try.
Excellent sake and beer specials on HH.
Live it up and do not hesitate to come here.
Pretty sure, we will be back again.
Thanks for the read!

Well It is only ok for lunch special. The fish and beef are very thin which is not so worth of the price.

the Sushi is super fresh. My favorites are the crunch roll and Phili roll. The crunch roll with spicy mayo sauce is also a good substitute instead of eel sauce.
The manager was super nice and offered us free drinks and the service was also pretty fast.
Would definitely come back again

Note: This review is only for the Akasaka restaurant.
I really love this restaurant. if you like UNI you must try LIVE UNI it is really fresh last time I order their famous chirashi bowl and every pieces of sashimi melted in my mouth. I realized the good quality from the first bits .very fresh!
The owner is very friendly he cares the customers if they were satisfird with their orders, Services are very prompt and friendly,
Finally the Akasaka restaurant change their new menu and Add new items. it is the best sushi restaurant in walnut!
I want to give 6 stars. Will definitely come back again!

First time coming to this restaurant and will probably be my last. everything I ordered from this restaurant tasted similar to what you can buy from a Japanese or Korean grocery store… food is not exactly what I would expected from a restaurant… it’s more like u paid a high price to just fill you up with rice.

Are here for lunch and my wife’s food took a long time to come out, and salmon was burnt. The waitress was very apologetic and made it right by replacing it. So overall good was so so but service was great.

Yellowtail jalapeño was really good
Service was average
Albacore was soft and fishy (normally one of my favorite but it’s was rather dissipating here)
The rest of the sushi was okay

I want say thanks again i ate last Friday night ， i forget my cellphone on the table ， the waitress name Amber pick up my phone，and gave it back to me good girl thank u

The food was less than average. Service okay. Drink was served in a cracked plastic glass. Noticed brown roach crawling from under our table… across the room. Alerted Waitress, who wasn’t moved by the visitor (s).
We will not be back.

The hacienda location is 1000x better but this one is way closer to me and much more convenient since I workout at the 24 hour fitness right across. The food isn’t exceptional but it gets the job done. It’s a good post workout meal since everything is high in protein and just don’t order anything fried, it can be a super healthy, clean, good tasting meal. The service is alright, they respond quick and the food comes out fast. But don’t except a good conversation or a smile everytime. The owner of this place is polite tho, when he’s here, he’ll usually stop by every table and have a quick conversation with everyone.

Excellent, memorable service! It was my first time there for my birthday lunch last week with my cousin we both thoroughly had a great time. Our server, Cathy, was very knowledgeable and recommended their finest specialty rolls us to try. This is a rare trait to find and I highly commend the server! I wish we got her name though! We choose calamari (fried squid) for appetizer, and 3 rolls: Akasaka Roll (assorted fish with avocado and cucumber inside), Baked Lobster Roll (baked lobster with house special sauce over california roll), Super Star Roll (Spicy Scallop over spicy tuna california roll). Water and tea were refilled constantly without us having to put in a request.
Now I have had my fair share of baked lobster roll and volcano rolls at other sushi establishments and have to make a note that their baked lobster roll is delicious and has just the perfect amount of mayo, which at other places tend to drench their rolls and makes me unable to finish the roll due to how heavy it makes me feel!
Their calamari was also delicious and should only be ordered while you dine-​in to preserve the fresh, crunchy taste of the dish. It comes with a spicy mayo sauce for dipping, which is a plus to me!
I also got their Chirashi Box (Salmon, Tuna, Yellow Tail, Albacore, Shrimp over bed of sushi rice) to try on another occasion and thought their fish selection was very fresh. Moreover, the amount you get for $ 14.95 is very filling! Great price for a sushi connoisseur on a budget, lol!
I’m definitely coming back for future visits! Thank you!

My review is way over due. The service here has always been amazing the owner makes sure your food and service is on point.
There are plenty of tables, the sushi is always fresh, the teriyaki chicken is the perfect amount of sweet. Shrimp Tempura best eaten at restaurant for crunchy purposes:) it’s family friendly Michael always makes room for my kidos he is great.

Came here for a birthday lunch with friends and we were well taken care of by their staff. The servers came quickly and regularly cleaned up dishes on our table.
The restaurant was packed with customers… That’s a good sign. I’m surprised they only have a 3 star rating.
Everything we ordered was fresh and nicely prepared. It’s a good place to have a nice lunch.
I enjoyed the décor and the sushi bar area. I bet this place is fun at night.
