If there were half stars, we’d probably rate Akita a 3.5, reason being that it is good, but not as good as it should be given the price and the hype. The food presentation was top notch, but the taste itself was very average and thus underwhelming. In fact, I think we’ve had better sushi at takeout or even ready-made. We also tried the ribeye, and like everything else, the presentation was good but the meat itself was underwhelming. It was chewy and tough, a very soft sear, and didn’t come with any sides. It was also oily which was unappealing. The octopus was surprisingly fried with a batter, which made it taste a bit like fried chicken. However, it was my favorite dish and the truffle potato fluff was delicious. The cocktails were disappointing and weak — my first one tasted watered down and my girlfriend’s tasted like juice. Far too expensive for what they were. The waiting staff were quite nice and attentive. They were very accommodating even when we arrived late so the service gets a 5/5. We will likely not be returning but if you want an upscale experience with mediocre food, then I would recommend it.

Incredible food. Incredible service. Fine dining at its finest. Prepare yourself to pay more then your typical Japanese restaurant however worth every dollar. Check out the Japanese whiskeys, sake and pretty much every dish in the menu was on point.

Fantastic experience! we did share-plate styles. I don't eat seafood but still 100% enjoyed the experience & seeing the presentation of the food itself. Will 100% return for the tacos! The group enjoyed all sea food items they ordered as well!
