I like Akahana because it's not pretentious, but still makes an attempt at being.. well something. It's not nice enough for a special occasion, despite the candles on the table. It's not a hip place to hang out, despite the dim lighting and Justin Timberlake booming over the PA system.
The food is consistently fine.. I'm never disappointed, but never blown away.
But.. you can't beat the BOGO deal.
Sure, a house special Roll will set you back $15, but then you get another free and that's a cheap date or lunch for tomorrow or a late night snack after the bar.
Akahana is great for a weekday dinner or takeout after a hectic day at the office... Hang out at the fully stocked bar while you wait and enjoy the Timberlake.
