akashi sushi

to the person above me... okay so i happen to work at this sushi bar, and thank you so much for your opinion :)
the first week we were open-- yes there was kinks but it was the first week!!
our sushi does not have strawberry and kiwi sauce on it, except for the happy sumo roll, but most dishes do have it on the plate.
so you should come back now that we've been open for aout two months, and maybe you'd enjoy it a little better :)

super cute! strong drinks!. i tasted the happy sumo roll and it was delicious! the fact that it was fried wasn't too great on the waistline though :) i also had something else but i don't remember what it was called... some beef sushi for $12 and that was excellent! even had little jalapeno pieces on top for an extra kick! the ambience here is nice... good to see something different and you definitely wouldn't expect it to look like that from the outside! the first time i went i had some mixed drinks with a friend and they were definitely quite strong! well worth the $6.

affordable. good wine selection and quality cocktails. serving portions are larger than i can eat in one sitting. both my kids and husband love this restaurant. my kids order something other than chicken fingers here. would recommend the teriyaki chicken for kids or for someone unsure of trying new foods. also not sure why the profile says they only accept cash as that is not true.

great mix of chinese and japanese food with friendly service!

the best asian food in kingwood, at least the best japanese and sushi in kingwood. their specialty and chefs rolls can be adventurous but the udon and tempura are great and all the food is fresh. the service is attentive, helpful and friendly.

really delicious and loads more options than sushi. had moo shoo shrimp, dumplings and spring roll. they were all made with high quality ingredients, tasted authentic and the meal was plated beautifully. i'll be returning to this gem!

consistently good food. we eat here every sunday. we usually get the same thing, but have been branching out lately, and have yet to be disappointed. the service is prompt and courteous.

always full. there's a reason this place is always full.

it may not have the best service (in fact service can be amazing one day and shockingly bad the next). it may get a little loud. it may not be the cheapest sushi place.

but the food is consistently above "good" and the cooks will work with your dietary needs. for sushi in our area it's probably the freshest fish and absolutely the fastest in terms of getting food to the table.

plus, there are some really wonderful regular (non-sushi) menu items.

you need to order sushi items cut thin and without sauce...and don't be afraid to send it back because - hey - they aren't cheap prices and the owners will fix the food.

overall we keep going back. there's some improvement in service over the past few months.

we've been three times..each progressively worse. service: poor. food: americanized sushi-sashimi and waaaay too much "special sauce" anh high in calories. won't be back.

the sushi was terrible. it was slathered in really heavy sauces, to the point where you could barely tell there was fish in there.

food was great, and so reasonably priced , unfortunately our waiter was pretty much outright snippy and rude to several in our group .

i like the modern decor and it seems family friendly enough (i've seen families with high chairs at their tables). my biggest gripe is i wish not all of their sushi was topped with excessive sauces. i thought i picked menu items without sauce or tempura crunch but they sauced my food anyway (perhaps for decorative purposes?) i don't want my sushi to be slathered in sugar or mayo. is this too much to ask? fresh fish should speak for itself.
my son ordered chinese food at a japanese restaurant. not a good move. the portions were small and the food is not good.

great food and great atmosphere! we had four of their sushi platters and a bento box and everything was delicious! definitely going back on a regular basis. can't wait to try another dish. their waitstaff needs work though; lacks revisiting to refill drinks.

yum

going downhill from cutting costs. sushi is still delicious, but they put too much emphasis on the "fusion" bit. hard to get sashimi without extra sauces and stuff all over it. the chinese menu used to be good, but they've started cutting down on the amount of meat in the dishes, so get ready for a plate full of veggies if you order a chinese dish. when i do get food here, i order it to go; even thought they've toned down the technocrap music, it still is a pain to try and have a conversation at a table there. too bad, because with a few tweaks, they could be by far the best asian cuisine in kingwood. one great thing that does set them above the other asian restaurants in kingwood is that if the menu indicates a dish is spicy, it will actually have some heat to it. all the others here are a joke if you want a spicy dish, with the exception of red curry thai restaurant.

sushi is really really good, service is horrible. i like the sushi enough to go in every now and then, but if they downgrade on the sushi they'll go out of business. awful service
