| - My friend Patrick and I eat at Akita Sushi regularly because there are very few places in Phoenix where you can dine-on a large variety of all-you-can-eat sushi for only $21 (if you go during lunch, the all-you-can-eat option is only $12). Sure, there are a ton of AYCE sushi restaurants, but they typically restrict you to a tiny menu that's primarily comprised of California rolls and things with cream cheese. Akita, on the other hand, offers nearly their entire menu to all-you-can-eat patrons. You can even order sashimi! Besides sushi, Patrick and I also order udon, tempura, yakatori and potstickers-all for $21. Of course, you have to finish the majority of what is on your plate (although they've allowed a roll or two to straggle behind before), but that's typically a given at any all-you-can-eat place.
The quality of the sushi is also surprisingly good. The fish actually tastes fresh, unlike the unjustifiably popular Sushi Brokers. It's not as high-quality as Hiro, but I've never hesitated to eat something on my plate. If anything, the rice sometimes lacks freshness, but never the fish. The service is friendly and refreshingly speedy, and Akita even offers two-for-one deals on their beers every single day! Combined with the fact that I've never had to wait more than ten minutes to be seated, I'd say that that Akita is a great spot for anyone needing a good sushi fix.
