Akashi Japanese Restaurant

I found this resturant by accident on a weekend were everything else was packed. But I'm so, so glad I did! The service here is very fast and upfront, I'm not sure why there are negative comments about employees here being "bitchy". I found everyone I interacted with to be helpful and pleasant. They have a beautiful outdoor patio that's very scenic and clean. This place also has very reasonable prices for the area, and the sushi is more filling than it seems when it first arrives. I highly recommend this spot and definitely plan to return.

Both the sushi and prices are great. The location is near other places and shops of interest as well. The only drawback is the parking; it’s not single lot specific and is metered in most, if not all cases (I had to use metered parking). Make sure to keep the parking meter fed, or it’s a roughly 40 dollar ticket.

By far one of the best Japanese restaurants I have dinned at in a while! Definitely authentic food and sushi. The salmon teriyaki dinner plate is a must try, along with the Alex #2 sushi. I love how the delivery is no Hassle. No need to sit and give them the card number, the driver comes with the machine!

I've eaten at each Akashi dozens of times and I think I can officially declare it as my favorite sushi restaurant. The Alex #2 is a must - I get it 100% of the time I dine there. The Coconut Grove location is a little larger than the South Miami location, mostly because dining extends to the outdoor courtyard (not that there's much seating there either.) Service is always good - nothing to write home about but nothing to complain about either. I will say, out of the dozens of times I've eaten at Akashi, there was only 1 time that I got a sub par roll and it was at the Coconut Grove location. Maybe it was a bad day, maybe delivery took to long, I don't know but it definitely did not hinder my love for this restaurant!
