This place was recommended by 2 friends when it was called Mr. Sushi. My wife and I met up with another couple here for dinner this week. When we walked in, the person working the host/hostess booth asked one of the server's to seat us and she responded with attitude. This pretty much set the tone for the rest of the evening.
1. Wife's beverage didn't make it out until after 20 minutes of being seated and after 3 requests.
2. It was hit or miss with some of the rolls we ordered. The California Roll fell apart when trying to eat it with chop sticks. The crab mix tasted off.
3. Server didn't clear the table and we sat with finished plates cluttering our table until we paid our bill.
4. One of our rolls was forgotten about and was brought out to us when everyone finished their sushi and entrees.
Some positives of Akaihana is that the quantity of sushi was plentiful and the price was very reasonable. Some of the other staff seemed friendly but unfortunately we drew the short straw.
My wife doesn't want to have anything to do with the place but I'm willing to give it another shot sometime down the road.
