User Reviews for Akasaka Japanese Restaurant

well i have to say i am impressed, growing up a block from the beach and sportfishing for tuna my whole life i was skeptical about detroits sushi. the tuna and yellowtail here are great and i've lived in cali and florida and they don't cut their pieces any bigger. all the food ive had here has been great, seaweed as refreshing as could be , miso good as any traditional eatery. i also never compliment the front of house ,old b.o.h. ways die hard but here i will say they are great friendly relaxed and quite prompt

We were seated promptly. The atmosphere was good for a restaurant located in a strip mall. I ordered from the Sushi Menu, my partner ordered the mixed e tempura. The Miso soup was excellent. The salad was poor- iceberg lettuce should be used as a garnish- and this lettuce somewhat wilted and brown- with a mystery dressing probably made of rice wine vinegar and peanut butter, as near as we could guess. The sushi was fresh for the region ( I moved here from California where most the sushi was VERY fresh- so I am somewhat spoiled!) but the portions were very small and very overpriced. I ordered the sashimi platter - the variety was lacking- only three types of sashimi- and the California roll was bland (why ALL Japanese restaurants insist on using fake crab - "Krab" - in their sushi rolls is beyond me - monkfish is NOT crab!). My partner's tempura was excellent- large portions, cooked to perfection and not at all greasy.
Pros: Quiet, nice location good for a romantic dinner or conversation
Cons: Over-priced, small portions of sushi/sashimi

If you are looking for genuine Japanese food in an ambiance that sweeps you back to Nihon, this is the place!

Akasaka was clean, the service was excellent and sushi menu was better than most in the area.
Pros: Clean, Good service
Cons: No ambience

Good food but the service is slow. You have to request everything including water refill.
