As a vegetarian who loves sushi, it's been difficult for me to find a sushi joint that makes flavor-diverse sushi that I can eat. I am usually forced to stick with some sort of cucumber-avocado-carrot combo. Meh.
I regularly take my vegetarian friends to Akahana for sushi because they actually make their veggie sushi rolls worth eating! My favorites are the Green Day Roll (crunchy friend asparagus, cream cheese, and spicy mayo) and the Happy Buddha Roll (marinated fried tofu, cream cheese, avocado and "eel" sauce). The presentation is always fabulous and the service is on-point.
I've also had their Asian Summer Roll, a thai-inspired vegetarian roll served with a tasty peanut sauce, and their Miso Soup and House Salad. Their noodle and rice dishes are well-portioned and can definitely be split for two.
I will say, however, that I miss the buy-one-get-one-free sushi deals that Akahana had when they first opened. I understand that it was probably not the most cost-effective for them, but it was certainly great on my wallet!
