Casual eatery that has a dark ceiling and dark floor with colorful walls, slight cave feel.
The server was kind and well intentioned but very green and had to check on every question. The sushi platter was very fresh. The Bangkok salmon was very tasty but overcooked, specially when the menu says sashimi grade. The fried rice was very tasty. I will go back.
Always enjoy eating here. My go-to is the Bun with shrimp (in the photo - but the pork is also good). I've had many different sushi rolls and all have been good. The staff is friendly and attentive. Overall good experience.
I love Akahana! Can't believe I hadn't tried it until a few months ago. We've only ever done takeout, so I can't comment on the service in the restaurant, but they're consistently good and I love the sushi. They also have a nice variety of vegetarian options, including sushi with tofu, which I've actually never had before until now.
They have a huge menu, so it can be difficult to choose, but it's a great place for a family to share several dishes!
My husband & I absolutely love eating here! I swear we’re here at least once a week. Great sushi and the buy one get one free deal is impossible to beat. Our favorite roll is the Jalapeño Bomber roll (pictured on the right). And don’t skip out on the sweet and sour soup. Delicious!!!
Visited Akahana with my cousins while visiting Charlotte. All of the sushi I got here was good. The thing I enjoyed the most was there service. Theresa was our waitress and she took really good care of us. I would definitely come back when in town.
My boyfriend and I love this place. We're both vegetarian and really appreciate the choice of vegetarian sushi they have. Most places just have avocado rolls but at Akahana they have a lot more creative sushi rolls for non-meat eaters. We've been eating dinner here for the past several years!!!
Really, this is a 4.5 rating. Anytime I can visit Akahana's off the Plaza, I'm excited and always pleased. I haven't found a Sushi spot in D.C. to top the Ahi Hawaii Roll. The Manger at Akahana's is ALWAYS nice and pleasant. He walks around, checking on every patron, but never in an overbearing way. Can't wait to get back down.
First time eating here and my sushi and salt/pepper cauliflower were great! Our waitress was great too. Made sure to tip her well. I appreciate the buy one get one free rolls. Will I be back!?! Yep!!!
THEY ARE OPEN AND NOT GOING ANYWHERE!
amazing food, drink specials, warm atmosphere, sports on the TV's, full bar, staff is nice and helpful, owner is funny, BOGO sushi, and you can even watch your sushi being made. Nigiri, sashimi, and sushi is always super fresh. They have other options too if you don't like sushi. My all time fav place to grab a bite with friends or PERFECT date night idea!
I’ve been ordering here for awhile now via to-go but it’s been awhile since I’ve dined in. I usually ordered the pineapple fried rice. I sat at the bar and ordered the vegetable roll and wasabi roll. The wasabi roll was my favorite and surprisingly not too spicy with the other roll being pretty basic. I used get a roll with mango on it but I didn’t see it on the menu. However, the music on Friday night was a 10/10. Good Vibes. Friendly Service.
