Akaihana Sushi And Grill - Phoenix

The sushi here is of excellent quality. I visited on a Sunday evening, and despite the busy atmosphere, the service was quick. My sushi was delivered in no time. While the noise level can be a bit high, the ambiance isn't the main draw—it's all about the great sushi. The staff is prompt, welcoming, and friendly. The sushi itself is truly delicious, and the presentation is lovely, adorned with beautiful orchids (as shown in the photos). I would definitely return, and it's a great place for groups. They also have an outdoor terrace available.

Pros: The portion sizes here are noteworthy, especially when it comes to sushi. Many places skimp on the rice or fish, leaving sushi lovers wanting more. That’s not the case here—the portions are perfect and seem larger than what you find at most places. I love Akaihana's innovative and extensive menu, offering a wide variety of delicious options, from nigiri and sashimi to many special rolls. Cons: The service leaves something to be desired. Whether it's due to being understaffed or just disorganization, there were times I waited longer than I expected for additional items. Overall: I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone, and I do so eagerly. Just take all my money and fill my belly with your amazing sushi!

The food was excellent, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I went with a wonderful friend, and I want to thank you for a fantastic experience during these pandemic times.

The best sushi I had in the valley. Also excellent teriyaki chicken (one of my other favorite dishes. The staff had appropriate pandemic plans. despite obviously in an order intake, my pickup made order without additional delay. Wonderful service, great food.

Best ever Blue Flame! Always good service and delicious food. Go before 6pm, 7 days a week and get happy hour prices.
