Finally managed to sneak over here without the entourage we usually have to bring (i.e., son, daughter in law, grand daughter...) to enjoy dinner together, just the hubby and myself. Usually on a Saturday night, this place is PACKED and not just for dinner! We've been once or twice on a Saturday and sworn we'd never go on that night again because of the half drunk women and men at the bar, the thumping music turned up loud so they're all yelling to be heated over the music...you get the picture...No so, tonight. Tonight we settled into our booth with the football game on (turned so low you can't hear it), the restaurant filled with the quiet murmur of voices of the other couples enjoy their meals...there was even a party of 15 seated at the long table up front with children (not that you'd have noticed since they were so quiet and well-behaved!) enjoying what looked like a family get-together.Can't help coming back here over and over...the food is CONSISTENTLY THAT GOOD. Sushi? Out of this world! Hibachi? Knocks it out of the ballpark! But omg...their clear soup is something you just want a kiddie pool size of so you can almost bathe in that stuff...look at our bowls! Yeah. There's nothing left!!Their house salads with that ginger dressing? Equally delicious. Their yum-yum sauce (they call it shrimp sauce) is on point and so is their steak sauce. We have never been disappointed with anything we've eaten here. It's always hot, freshly prepared, delicious! So much better than any other place I've tried...what's that saying? "Always copied, never duplicated". That's this place. I've tried so many hibachi places, sushi places...no place I've been to HAS BOTH under the same roof. The service is excellent, haven't found anything to ever complain about except the occasional drunk or obnoxious patron, but that's not the establishment's fault. That's society's fault If you love sushi...or if you don't, but you love hibachi...or tempura, or gyoza dumplings, seaweed salad...any Japanese dish you can think of or combination of sushi flavors...fried rolls or raw rolls....sushi or sashimi pieces too...try this place and you'll find your newest fav spot to have that night out!!

This was actually my first time eating inside. I've had it for take out quite a few times. The service was really good. We were sat down immediately. It was nice and clean inside. Or waiter was very helpful. The food was nice and fresh and everything was so good, as always.

One of my favorite sushi places next to Sushi Bear. The restaurant is always clean, has nice lighting, and pretty good customer service. I usually don't come here to dine in but get their to-go. They have lunch specials that are affordable and it comes with soup (clear chicken broth or miso) and salad (with ginger or ranch dressing) and your choice of 2 or three rolls (you pick from a list) for either $12 or $15. The rolls are decent size, some of them though only have 5 or 6 rolls instead of the standard 8 rolls. It depends on what you get. Sometimes the rolls aren't cut all the way and the filling falls out when I try to pick them up (hence, knocking off one star). It can get messy if the rolls aren't cut all the way and they end up falling apart. Other than that, most of their rolls are pretty tasty, filling, and the presentation is always nice. The rolls I had last time were:Fish tempura roll: 8/10 - I appreciate that they added alot of fish tempura (fish fried in a batter) to the roll! The rice to fish ratio was perfect!!! I believe it has avocado inside and masago on top, but it's one of their more delicious rolls! I just wish they would serve the usual 8 quantity because I wanted more of it. Oshinko roll: 8/10 - another roll that I love. It's essentially a daikon (pickled radish) roll and the tartness of the radish goes along so well with the seaweed and rice. This is more of a maki style as the seaweed is wrapped outside of the roll instead of inside the roll. Tamago and squid nigiri: 9/10 - two of my favorite nigiri! I love the tamago (sweet egg) because it reminds me of a sweet, egg soufflé. The squid is so fresh as it had no fishy aftertaste, but it is a bit chewy (squid has a chewiness to it) for those who are keen about textures. I also like getting Toro (tuna belly) when its in season as it just melts in your mouth due to the marbling on it! I've tried other rolls here and they've all been delicious and great! Another favorite roll is the sweet potato tempura roll. The sweetness of the sweet potato cuts down on the richness of the eel sauce, rice, and seaweed. Overall, a solid place for sushi and they do have happy hour specials too! Their rice to filling and roll ratio is great too and they don't overly add rice to their rolls. One thing I noticed about not so great sushi restaurants is that they typically add way too much rice to filling ratio. But here at Akaya, you don't get any of that. I suggest you come try out this place!

One word: tasteless. As in the food had no taste. I had the lunch chicken teriyaki and my GF had the shrimp teriyaki. Neither tasted like there was any seasoning used in the cooking. And the teriyaki was drizzled over the food when it was plated. This is not the first time as we have visited this location before. and had Hibachi as well. As they cook the meals in the back there is no way to know for sure butIt seems like some corners are being cut and taste is being sacrificed. On the plus side the gyoza was good and the service was prompt as always. I'm not a sushi aficionado so I can't offer any useful comments. We will likely give them another try but they need to go back to what they were doing cooking wise in the past. I hope they do.

One of my favorite places to visit when I am in town. The prices for sushi are decent and their lunch special is great. (I usually go for their 3 maki rolls for $15 with soup) They recently raised the prices of their lunch. Their teriyaki and eel rice plates are also great. The teriyaki chicken comes out on a hot plate. You can always see and smell it as the server carries it across the restaurant. I have tried their hibachi and that is also delicious. The business owner and staff are always friendly and the service here is great. If you are getting to go on a busy night it might take a little long but I have never waited longer than 10 minutes for a table. On weekends it tends to get busyI have not tried their drinks or anything at the bar but their rolls are great. I usually get the Lion King roll at dinner and there is no other place that does it as they do. Overall, their prices are decent for what you get and I love coming here for a quick eat or for dinner.

Nice hostess and waitress drink orders taken shortly after being seated. They have a nice bar/cocktail menu but we ordered iced tea (fresh brewed yeah!). We ordered sushi as appetizers and two entrees. Everything was fresh and had a lot of flavor. Typical sushi restaurant in a strip mall decor and it was nice and clean. We enjoyed our sushi and our entrees and bonus leftovers for lunch!

Worst sushi I've ever had in my life. No exaggeration. If you only ever eat California rolls or fried food this may be the place for you. Prices were outrageous for the quality. Manager made excuses for the quality. Go at your own risk.

Thought we would give it a try via online ordering since last bad in restaurant service we never ordered the food. Well to say I am disappointed is an understatement. I should have not gone here from my previous experience First off it had a bad smell but couldn't figure it out ate only part of it and threw the rest out. As you can see barely ate anything from the two rolls. Did not finish the eel hand roll. Had eel avocado roll and two salmon avocado hand rolls that I felt sick after eating.
