Also and formerly known as "Mr. Sushi." This is the first place I ever tried real "raw" sushi. I was probably about 13 years old when my parents introduced me to Mr. Sushi and I had only ever tried a california roll before. Well Akai Hana opened my mind to so many other varities of sushi. I fell in love with tuna :)
They also serve hot dishes and bento boxes. Very authentic with a variety of seafood, good prices and happy hour all of the time until 5pm and after 8pm-9/10pm depending on the day of the week. My favorite happy hour rolls are the blue flame, spicy tuna hand roll, and the tuna roll.
This is probably my favorite sushi place of all time. My family and I have spent almost every birthday here since I we have been coming here together for about 15 years. On birthdays the sushi chefs will make a special roll for you or bring out green tea ice cream with a candle in it and take a couple of polaroid pix for their wall and one for you to take home. You can also call and request there special room for a more intimate time with a larger party of people.
I highly recommend giving this place a shot-you will have a great experience from the moment you walk in when the sushi chefs personally greet to the moment you leave with a belly full of sushi :)
