I've been reading about Akita Sushi for the past few months and finally had an opportunity to take my son there last Saturday. It was a good experience and we enjoyed the variety, friendly service and $11.95 all you can eat menu for a weekend lunch. Appetizers were hot and freshly made to order, so it took longer than. expected, but that was okay and understable since there wasn't an empty table there. A plus was that half of the tables were occupied by other Asian people. That's always a good sign when going into an Asian restaurant!
what I liked is that it was not a buffet with troughs of pre-made food. The menu had a large selection and you could order as much and as often as you like. Portions are small but that was ok, so you get a chance to sample more. Just be sure to not order more than you can eat because they can charge you for items you don't finish. When you get your bill, everything you ordered is itemized with a cost of $0.00 next to each dish you ordered. If you don't eat it all, there will be a price other than $0 there for the dish you did not finish.
I was happy this wasn't just an all you can eat California roll place. There was a large variety of appetizers to choose from and good selection of sushi and rolls. I've had better but not for $12 and the sushi was not bad at all. The same selection we had at any other sushi bar would have cost us $75 + easily. The drinks were an additional $1.99 each. I read in previous reviews that drinks were included for $11.95, so maybe this is a weekend thing or just a change in the pricing?
We will definitely be going back in the future.
