The food is delicious every time, but the awful service which seems to get progressively worse through the years leaves much to be desired. I am starting to get the impression that the management knows customers will continue to frequent Akahana, regardless of the atrocious service solely by the fact that the food is excellent. It really is a shame that this restaurant has seemingly made no attempt to address the issues with poor wait staff, even though it is a well known fact that it is terrible. Get takeout if you are planning to eat here
