We decided to try this place after a recommendation and several reminders from our favorite server at Carpe Diem.
The quality of food at Akahana matched my expectations. I rarely have high expectation for restaurants that have huge menus and broad food styles. Akahana serves up the usual suspects from the usual Asian countries, and they do an admirable--though definitely not spectacular--job with their food.
My pho was tasty. I've certainly had much, much better pho, but, as previously mentioned, I never expected to consume the best of anything here. Ginny had a few sushi rolls, all of which I considered to be on par with similar items at Sushi 101.
If you're in the area and you're hungry for a decent meal, Akahana fits the bill. If your expectation is to have the most fabulous Asian dish you've ever experienced, this will not fit the bill.
