Aki Sushi Restaurant

I really wanted to try this place out because I saw that it had japanese curry on their menu. I ordered my dinner thru their online service and it was very easy to work with. Unfortunately, upon completing my order, restaurant staff called to say that there was no curry! They did refund me the money so that was appreciated. When picking up my order, I saw the staff wearing masks and gloves which is reassuring in these COVID times. My order ended up being a tonkatsu rice plate, fried gyoza, a crunchy roll and a dancing spicy tuna roll. The fried gyoza was not as crispy as I would have liked. I really liked the dipping sauce it came with, it had a subtle spicy taste mixed with the salty flavor. The tonkatsu plate was very mediocre to me. The katsu was not very crispy and very dry. The katsu sauce really saved the dish for me. The small side of salad was very tasty, I really enjoyed the sweet salad dressing. The two sushi rolls I had were also very good. The spicy tuna roll definitely had a little kick and the crunchy roll was actually and surprisingly crunchy for a sushi roll! Both rolls held up well even when dipped in soy sauce, though I found myself dipping them more in the gyoza sauce. Overall, I was not overly impressed with the food but not disappointed either. I can see myself coming back here for sushi and definitely for curry should they have it. The service seemed good also so I would like to try other dishes in a more sit down experience.

I was craving for Takoyaki and searched Google for nearby restaurants and I found Hana. The place looked so plain and boring outside but when you get inside the ambiance is so Japanese even the music played in the background. I love the lady who served us which I forgot to ask for her name. She is so sweet and polite too. She looked Japanese but I am not sure. The food is superb tasty! Since I am craving for takoyaki I ordered that, one grilled salmon teriyaki bowl, and one bowl of ramen for my husband. The place is a bit simple and small, but then I love the food and I will surely come back here.
