| - I wish I could give this place 4.5 stars because I think the only downfall I experienced could be easily improved upon.
The food is wonderful. The sushi is delicious -- I had several different rolls, including the California Roll, Spicy Tuna, and Green Dragon. No complaints about the sushi. The tempura is good, too -- nice and lightly crispy. The udon is very decent, and the pork cutlet that came with it was cooked perfectly. The ice cream is okay, but the fried banana with honey is probably the best banana I've ever had in my life.
I went for dinner, which was $20. It's a little pricey, but I hear that the lunch menu is very similar but only $12.
The one thing I think could be improved is their efficiency. There's nothing wrong with the servers -- they're very friendly and helpful. Even the owner came to say hi, and he hopped in to help when things got busy. However, I feel like they all work too hard. Work smart, not hard, right? They're literally running around, trying to keep up with the demands of the tables. They do a great job given how many people they have, but with current circumstances, it's just not feasible. There were times when my table waited five to ten minutes to get a hold of a server, and they weren't standing around lazily ignoring us, either -- they were BUSY. Akita Sushi either needs to hire an extra server or two OR they need to change the ordering system.
All in all, it's a great experience if you have the time. I will be back, though, and I hope things run a bit more smoothly next time. I'll keep this review updated!
