| - We tried Akahana last night with another couple. The food is outstanding, BUT one person was served, second dinner arrived about 10 minutes later, and the third, which my hubby and I shared, was at least 20 minutes after the first dinner was served. We ordered the Back Bean stir fry, which was delicious, but SO late in coming. Our friend ordered the Mongolian Beef, which was so spicy he had a difficult time eating it. (And he normally likes spicy food). No mention on the menu about it being spicy at all. The other person (first one served) had the Salmon, which was very good, but comes drenched in a Curry sauce. No mention of that on the menu either. She would not have ordered it if she knew it was Curry. So a word to the wise: Check the ingredients with your server, ask a lot of questions, and be aware they are new and inexperienced. We were there for 1 1/2 hours.
Love their dumplings, and the wonton soup is delicious. Both were wrapped in a very light dough, perfect. They need to get some Chinese Mustard, which we like to add to our soup.
Don't quite know how many stars to give this brand new restaurant. Delicious food, less than satisfactory dinner service. (NOT the waiter's fault, I blame it on the kitchen organization.
Very, very noisy. Nothing on the walls, floor or ceilings to absorb any sound, so little kids screaming is very noticeable. Also, the music is too loud.
We will give them another chance. They are certainly not pros at this restaurant thing.
