Akasaka Sushi & Steak

Everything I tried from this place was really good! Both rolls were delicious!! One roll was mildly spicy and fried the seaweed so it was crunchy😋 The other roll had eel, and I can tell the fish used were super fresh. I also recommend the hibachi steak and shrimp with fried rice!! They also give you sauce so you can dip the hibachi :)) Overall experience was great as well. Customer service was excellent with the waiter constantly checking in with us and was super nice. An entertainment from the fire performance was a bonus fun!! Highly recommend to visit this place for birthdays as well because they sing and give a balloon crown to the birthday person.

Came in here after work one day, last week, on 6/13/23. Usually I only visit once or twice a year, on my birthday as a special occasion. I was disappointed to hear that they'd only do the hibachi show as a group of 2 or more people, and not if you were alone, or nobody else was waiting. I don't really understand this methodology, because they are still paying that chef to be on the clock, they are still paying for the same food to be prepared on some other cooking implement in the back, and they're still taking in the same amount of money from the food sale at the end of the day... Color me confused. Moving past this, I decided not to wait and was sat at a table in the corner of the restaurant. The decor was nice, as always, and the tables were clean. The place was well-kept and all the staff were polite and quick to respond to any needs or requests presented by myself and other patrons. I ordered the steak and chicken meal, with fried rice. The meal comes with a salad, with peanut-based dressing, and a nice cleansing chicken soup. Both of the starters are common, no matter what meal you get, and both were very enjoyable and up-to expectations from this location. Same great food, same great taste, as always. The steak was cooked perfectly, as was the chicken. The steak was soft and tender, with a nice light seasoning. The chicken was perfect, and had a nice soy flavor with it, and a lovely appearance, with some sesame seeds. The rice was always my favorite, because of the amazing blend of flavors, and it continues to impress every time I come in. If I ever want a fantastic meal, this is where I come, usually just for the rice, and soups. The only faults that I had during the service was when the server offered to refill my drink even though it wasn't even 1/3 of the way finished. I had taken maybe 3 sips of it. I just remember thinking 'Jeez, I hope I don't get charged a refill price for that tiny amount'. Later as the service got busier, there was a time when he failed to notice my drink was empty as he was passing in and out of the section, but it was only by a few minutes that I was 'out of drink'. He noticed and quickly refilled it. I won't fault them too hard for that. It's one of those things -- do you want your server staring at you all meal waiting for the drink to go half-down, or do you want them to fully leave you be until the drink is fully drained? haha. All-in-all it was a great meal, with amazing flavors, and a wonderful experience. The only painful part was the prices. For the steak, chicken, soup, salad, fried rice, 2 drinks, and tip, I was down $41, just for the food. Like I said before, the server was very good, and I left him a fair 21% tip, for his time. In the end, $50 out of pocket for a nice afternoon out.

Very nice local teppanyaki place. The appetizers were small - the shrimp tempura only had 2 pieces, but they were very good! The dinner portions were generous, the drinks were wonderful! I didn’t particularly enjoy the fried rice, seemed like something was missing - just mediocre. The staff was friendly and attentive.

An aesthetically pleasing family owned restaurant. Very clean, with a nice friendly waitstaff. The sushi has always been fresh & delicious. I don’t do nigiri too much & only at few places & this is one of them & it’s YUMMY here. Not sure what they add extra to their rice for the nigiri but they are def on to something there <3 They have hibachi too if you’re into that, we always come for the sushi so we’ve always sat at the tables. We luckily always get a table close enough so we’re able to also witness the hibachi show which looks like the chefs do a great job at. -They have great Sake choices too - to go is packaged nicely and prompt too Rolls pictured are The Chef specials Oceanic and heartbreak rolls
