Came here with my sister for dinner. This is one of our favorite Japanese restaurants for my entire family. We love coming here because the entire staff is so nice. The cook/owner will come out and check on the guests. It's awesome to watch. We love their miso dressing. And to know that is home made makes it even better. We always ask for extra. Their beef teriyaki is amazing. Perfectly cooked to medium with enough pink in the middle. Their tempura is so crunchy and good! It's not over battered so when you dip it, it keeps the crunchiness when you bite into it. The place is a little hole in the wall. They don't have many seats but if you know what time to come, you'll always get seated. If you come during prime time, be prepared to wait outside to be seated.

I was wondering why everybody was going here instead of the place next door.  I went to place my order, and it was packed.  There were people even waiting to be seated.   They had to servers/waitress, and they were just busy tending to everyone.  It took a few minutes until someone took my order.      As I waited for my order,  I couldn't help but look around. They had the menu everywhere around the walls.   They had a small section in the back where you can sit and order sushi. While you're there, you can watch them make sushi. They were even conversating with the customers.   Usually, some places just ignore you and make sushi.  Not here.     I was handed the bill, and I was shocked at how affordable it was.   I figured we'll see with the taste test.     We ordered: Amaebi roll - so fresh and sweet Crunchy roll - my oh my, this is definitely crunchy.  You gotta make sure to open wide for this one. The cream cheese gives it a perfect creamy balance with all the crunchiness Dragon roll - Deeeeelicious, this one is made with the seaweed on the outside, which is different from what I've had at other places California roll -  I was surprised how something so simple tasted so good Seaweed salad - I recommend this.  It goes with every item I ordered Gyoza - Tasted flavorful and fresh. Like it was homemade. You didn't even need the ponzu sauce they provided 2 item dinner - double beef teriyaki.  The beef was so tender.  My husband couldn't stop eating it. 3 item dinner -  tonkatsu, momiji, short rib teriyaki.  Short rib, you can taste the char. Nothing I expected from a Japanese restaurant. Tonkatsu was crunchy, not overly battered. Momiji was something different for me.  It was super tender.     Honestly,  I highly recommend this place.   It is reasonably priced, and the food was AMAZING!!

Have been coming to this restaurant for years. I usually order the regular combination lunch or the akagi California lunch (which I got in the picture). Each of their bento boxes also come with miso soup and salad. I have tried different meat options but my favorite will always be the short ribs. It is a casual sit down restaurant that also has a small sushi bar with limited seating. The servers are always very nice and friendly.

This is a great spot for a cheap dinner. This place is so cute. Small authentic Japanese restaurant run by really sweet folks. Prices are so good. They have daily bento specials with 6 or so items for about $15. Can't really top that these days. I will say, I'm more accustomed to a sweeter teriyaki sauce and their's is more salty. Their deluxe sashimi seemed super fresh and worth it. I'll be trying that next time!

Akagi was much better than I anticipated. There food and portions are reasonably priced for this intimate/hole hole in the wall restaurant. I was impressed by the number of options that their had for their combination dinners. I had the teriyaki saba (mackerel) and tempura. I enjoyed my meal, but my only complaint is that the temperature of the food wasn't very hot. (Like it had been sitting around for too long.) The miso soup had good flavor, but it was kind of sad with one small piece of wakame (seaweed), a few green onions, and no tofu. Service wasn't that great, but I wasn't expecting it to be either.
