I took my wife there for her birthday and am always impressed by how much we enjoy coming here. It’s romantic, beautiful flower arrangements and so grateful for music that adds to the ambience. We’ll be back.

The black cod is alright, but the overdose of okinawayaki makes it a bit overwhelming. The karaage is good, but the overall discomfort caused by the excessive oil and salt, particularly in the okinawayaki, impacts the overall experience.

If you like well crafted food and are willing to pay for very interesting tasting, beautifully plated food then this is a great place to go. We've been twice and both times they have been great with dietary restrictions as well. It's charming, casual enough to walk in (if you can get in!) but also a great place to take visiting friends and relatives or for a special night out or date. The Wayne area needed a place like this. We'll keep going back for sure.

It took almost an hour to get an order in, and they messed up our initial food order. We almost didn't receive one of the items we ordered until two dishes that we did NOT order arrived at the table (which is when the mistake was realized and quietly fixed nearly 45 minutes after ordering, without any acknowledgement). Additionally, we had to continually ask the food runner to order whenever we wanted more food. We were continuously not checked in with to see we needed anything. Overall, the service felt targeted. It appeared that the tables filled with middle/aged white people received regular, attentive service compared to that of my partner and I (a young, interracial couple). While not hugely important, we were also underwhelmed with the decor, although the glassware was nice. Akemi's only redeeming qualities were the Brussels sprouts and the Yuzu panna cotta, which were beautifully prepared and delicious. If you are looking for a nice dinner spot this is not it. We will not be back.

Great food and service! Glad to have Akemi in the neighborhood! read more Great food and service! Glad to have Akemi in the neighborhood!

They have an extensive sushi/roll menu but also enough other things for those in our group who didn't eat sushi.

Priced at $36, you only get about 3oz of steak, making it not worth the cost. The portion size is extremely small, with one pocket of the takeout container filled with rice, another with slaw, and tiny strips of steak on top. The large pocket of the container is completely empty, leaving you feeling ripped off. Overall, I was disappointed with the meal and felt it was not worth the price. It is rare for me to feel this way, but in this case, I am genuinely upset about what I received.

The sushi rolls were delicious, but there was hardly any tobiko in them this time. read more The sushi rolls were delicious, but there was hardly any tobiko in them this time.

The service was 100%. The restaurant ambiance was five star. I really liked this restaurant, but I didn't think that cost was accurate for the taste. I thought the food was good but everything else was incredible. I love how they do their sake set up too! Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
