Love the food and the service! Have heard a lot of great things before and so glad I finally tried it out. Def one of the best Japanese restaurants near Chapel Hill.
Wow wow wow wow. I travel a lot and have high expectations for sushi and Akai Hana met them and then some. Even the small stuff was treated with care: their salad comes with the best home made ginger dressing I’ve ever had over mixed greens and their sushi itself is excellent down to the last piece. Staff and service are top notch as well. Go now! 🍣
Very good sushi. I really didn't fully test the kitchen.
I had 6 pieces of tuna sushi. It was very fresh. The rice held together very well. Flavor and texture were outstanding.
I also had a California roll and it was excellent as well.
Akai Hana has very good sushi. Not Michelin star but far better than the types of pan-Asian cuisine places that have 2 rolls for the price of 1 type specials. However, for the price paid, the service is a little impersonal.
Now, it’s a tough market to hire help, I get it. But the waitress just didn’t feel like being there. I know people are busy and I don’t expected to be coddled. Issues: 1) got an extra roll that I didn’t order (and of course got charged for it) 2) one of the dishes had the same element as an appetizer. An attentive waitress would have pointed that out. 3) didn’t come around to see if we’re done, need a box, if we are ready for the cheque. 4) didn’t check if we needed more water or drinks.
Love this place for expensive take-out but dine-in experience was lackluster.
Authentic Japanese food. While visiting Japan is not possible, I would recommend to visit here to enjoy fresh sushi and crispy tempura instead!
Left: rainbow roll Right: fried oyster
I’m a vegetarian who doesn’t like seaweed, and I still had a fantastic lunch here. I and one other member of our group had a sushi burrito, they were really tasty! I had the mt. Fuji and it was delicious, I will definitely be coming back. The appetizers and mochi ice cream were also good.
Really yummy and fresh food, staff always nice...
The food was impecable, you can see the love and dedication on every plate. I definitely recommend this place!
