Akami

This place almost never seems busy but we finally tried it and WOW it was fantastic! I particularly loved the Akami Sashimi Rolls they offer (in both 5 and 10-piece varieties) which are special rolls without any rice. I’d never seen anything like that before and it was an awesome and delicious way to have a sushi roll without all of the carbs of the rice. Will 100% go back!

If you actually go and sit down to eat, it’s probably the best sushi in the Yorkville area.

I really enjoy their lunch rolls, they are fresh and delicious and they have a great variety to choose from for the lunch menu. I really enjoyed their shumai and everything else I tried. The dressing on the salad is fresh, zesty and tasty. They always get my order right which I appreciate a lot because this does not often happen and so I really enjoy their delicious food. I want to try some other combinations so I can try more variety from the menu. The value is pretty great as well for the location. Everyone is very friendly and helpful and I really enjoy ordering the food knowing that it will be fresh and delicious. I’ll keep going there and would recommend that place.

I ordered the shrimp bento box. The shrimp looked like it was seasoned but really needed more flavor. I really wanted to add salt. Same for the tempura. Sushi was pretty good as was the salad and soup. Portions were good. I expected more. Oh well. Service was great though.

I live close to this restaurant. I highly recommend going there and having the food. When you order food it doesn’t look and taste the same as it would when freshly prepared and served. Excellent lunch specials. Honestly the best japanese lunch specials in Manhattan.

Placed an order for pick up and the lady on the phone was rude and lacked customer service. I ordered 2 bento box and asked if could switch the tempura to extra California rolls or extra Shumai instead . The lady rudely said no. I said I would pay extra because I rather pay for something I'm going to eat instead of paying for something I'm not going to eat . I used to be a regular here , but I'm definitely not ordering anymore. I will find another Japanese restaurant that is more friendly and accommodating.

good restaurant

Great sushi!! We ordered here late one night, the food came on time, the restaurant gave us an extra roll and the fish was so fresh. Just moved to the area and I think I found my go-to spot for takeout sushi. Would definitely recommend.

there service is really bad i order 24 dollars worth and only got 1 portion from my order the dont care about they customers i asked for no avocados they still put it my food

I don’t write reviews often, but this place made me so sick. I got the lunch special from here. It tasted okay, but I couldn’t finish it - it was too chewy and salty. Within a few hours I was so violently ill I couldn’t keep water down. I was sick all night and it took over 12 hours for me to be able to drink water again. It’s been almost 24 hours and I still haven’t graduated to food. I do not remember ever being this sick from food before - seriously concerned about the health and safety of the kitchen here. I didn’t even get anything raw.
