| - I'm hesitantly giving Akita sushi only three stars because I really desire to award them four. However based on our total dining experience (food quality, selection, cleanliness, service and wait times) I must in all honesty deliver only three stars, primarily based on the extremely long wait and inaccuracy of our order. When it did finally arrive to our table the food itself was pretty good, considering this is an AYCE sushi restaurant and comparing it against other identical establishments.
A 20 to 30 minutes delay from the time we placed our order to the time it physically arrived on our table seems a tad too long compared to other similar dining venues we've had. Additionally, a few items we ordered did not show up at all. We spoke to our server about this and he apologized for the mix up, finally bringing our ika nigiri and Las Vegas rolls towards the end of our meal.
The slow arrival of our dinner items could be attributed to a very busy and totally unexpected Sunday evening the day before July 4th. I was told normally Sunday evenings are fairly quiet according to the staff however it appears the volume of customers this evening caught them off guard. It was so busy the owner "Sam" who was off that day had come in to help the other sushi chiefs meet the demand. But this speaks a great deal of Sam's dedication to his customers.
They have a pretty good selection of items from the sushi variety to the appetizers and hot foods.
Our server "Brian" was awesome. He was very attentive, always mindful and filling our water, iced and/or hot green tea glasses without having to be asked even though he was busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. His temperament was exactly what you'd want and expect in a server, a friendly demeanor with a nice smile every time he interacted with us. Brain apologized often for the long wait and provided an acceptable reason for the delay.
We used the long delay productively catching up with one another in good conversations and showing one another photos and videos from our phones. Thank God for technology effectively filling in the gap.
Overall we were quite satisfied and happy with our dining experience and will be going back in the future at which time I'm hoping to be able to increase their rating to four or possibly five stars. And at $21 per person its a great deal.
Here's a few tips for future diners to be mindful of:
1. The nigiri style sushi is only one piece per order (traditionally served in two pieces) however you can order as many as you want.
2. The sashimi is also limited to one piece per order but once again you can order as many as you desire.
3. There is no tako (octopus) on the menu.
4. The makizushi (rolled) sushi are smaller than normal which is cut into six small pieces.
5. They do and will charge you for any wasted food. This is a very good practice as it keeps the cost down for the restaurant which in turn is passed on to you, the customer.
