| - I've heard a lot of hype surrounding Akahana and can now say I get it. This place is absolutely fantastic for everything Asian, as well as Indian cuisine.
I came for lunch the other day, and against my better judgement tried an Indian dish. Believe me when I say, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the dish and it was VERY good. I was simply jealous of all the other more Asian dishes in my party of 10.
Per the dish I had, a chicken dish with yellow curry with white rice, made great use of curry sauce ingredients as well as a fresh vegetable medley- sprinkled with fresh jalopenos. It was fairly hot outside that day on their patio so I can't really pin-point my sweating due to the dish or the heat. My guess is a combination of the two (most likely), and I will say it had the perfect kick. The dish had a perfect flavor balance and was not skimpy on its proportion.
In general, it seemed like just about every dish on the table for in upwards of $9, for a lunch menu item, seemed well worth it proportion-wise. All 10 plates looked delectable and it seems to me it wouldn't be hard to find a new, great dish off their menu.
Aside from enjoying a lunch here, the interior is such that would warrant a great date night. Very modern and upscale decor. I haven't looked to hard into their dinner menu, but I can assume quality, quantity, and price are all adequately proportioned, as in lunchtime.
