"Came here last night on a whim, but also was wanting to try this place. We were at TCBY (next door with the kids some months ago and we could smell the delicious food wafting from next door. The kids were away for the weekend this time so why not?! We came in (party of 2 and were seated almost immediately. The hostess (the first person who came up to greet us asked us how many in our party got two menus and a drink menu, looked around and brought us to a small table for two, literally threw our menus on the table on top of each other, and walked away. We sat down and each took a menu and looked them over. My menu had food splatter in it awesome. The menu was actually quite extensive and I was surprised by the choices. This morning, I actually read some of the other reviews and saw that sushi used to be BOGO. Not a big deal as this was never a promo we knew about so it 's whatever. I did come in wanting to get sushi so I was happy to see that Akahana actually had my favorite sushi on their menu! I say this because although we are new to the area, we have tried quite a few sushi places and have not found my favorite listed anywhere. For the record, my favorite is crunchy roll I 'm not that deep and don 't get all into the raw sushi, stop judging or I 'll judge your mama (I kid . I opted for the crab wontons (app , crunchy roll, and surf turf roll. SO got the Akahana Signature Pho (rare . He raved about it, by the way!! He got his with siracha and whatever the other sauce choice was to put it in. Actually, I swear he put everything in it that he could and had plenty to take home as the bowl was quite large and there was plenty of pho to share if he wanted to. Oh yeah, he also got fried dumplings, which is his favorite app to get. They were quite delicious. Now, let me tell you about my sushi. They were cut small and placed on the plate so neatly. I asked for no ginger or wasabi as I never use it and I didn 't want to be wasteful. Sushi isn 't supposed to be these large pieces that you have to fight to get into your mouth so these pieces were the perfect size! I believe I had 8 pieces each. I tried one of each just to see how they were. The crunchy roll was spot on! Just perfect! I ate the whole thing just happy as I could be!!! I now know where I 'll be getting my favorite roll from! The surf turf was also delicious and the cucumber inside was a nice cooling touch to it. However.... I only made it through 3 pieces when I saw something in the light. It was a hair... so gross... It was not my hair, but it was the same color as my hair so I double checked that it wasn 't my hair. I turned my plate all the way around. It could not be my hair because THIS hair was wrapped up in the roll and you would need to pull it out of the roll to get it out. Our server never bothered to notice that I didn 't finish my food nor did she ask if I wanted a box to take my sushi home which made me think people must throw out a lot of sushi when they come here. How can that be?! WHY Would anyone throw out perfectly good sushi? And why didn 't she ask me if I needed a box for it? The Pho was placed into a plastic container and when the check arrived, I finally said something about the hair because our server was completely oblivious that I had 5 pieces of untouched sushi on my plate still (HOW does she not notice this? !! She says she wished I had said something so she could have comp 'd the meal for me. She asks me to write our name and phone number down on the receipt so that the next time we come in, we can get a free roll. Now, I 'm not sure if this is an actual thing, but we did write down our information in the hopes that this will happen. I would like to mention that this incident won 't deter me from coming back because they actually had my favorite sushi roll and it was so yummy! But there were a few things lacking during our first visit here and I did 't fail to notice them. One last thing, in case you 're wondering like I was and our server was not able to tell us, Akahana means red rose. Google for the win!!"
