"My fiancé and I, as well as friends and family, go to Akashi all the time and have been doing so for years! They always have great sushi, and I love their sashimi; the best part is their rolls are BOGO! There was only 1 time in the 20+ times I've went that I ordered scallop sashimi (hotategai), and it was not very fresh, unfortunately but I'll still give them 5 stars because no one can be perfect 100% of the time. I also would never get a fried roll again, anywhere for that matter as we got the deep ocean, and it was rather bland. However, that's my fault for choosing something I already knew I likely wouldn't care for (it just sounded so good on the menu), lol. At any rate, this really is one of the best Sushi Restaurants in Raleigh/ Durham/ RTP if you're looking for amazing food while not breaking the bank like if you were to go to M Sushi in Durham, or even Waraji in Ralegh (no bogo and you'll spend $160-$250 on a date night for 2).. I've been to both of them several times, and M Sushi, for the cost, is the best sushi/ sashimi you will ever put in your mouth on the planet! They literally fly their food in on a daily basis from Japan and New Zealand. I will also note that I've been to 30-40 different Sushi restaurants in the Raleigh/ Durham/ RTP area so please rest assured, I am a sushi die hard and have even traveled extensively across the nation and even internationally eating sushi so you can count on me for a good, truthful review. Here's a couple pictures of our take-out last night, which does not do the dine-in presentation justice, but it was still delicious!!!"

My wife and I were craving sushi after work and stopped by here. The staff was very nice and the sushi tasted great. We got the California rolls and enjoyed them.

Tried their Ramen for lunch today. Pretty tasty, I'm really trying to get a sense of what traditional ramen should taste like so I'm not sure how I can compare it to the premium modern ramen I found in Boston. Definitely going to be coming back to try out some sushi and bento!
Emanuela
everything was delicious and so fresh! my partner and I have the gyoza, two sushi roles, and we both had a few hibachi. the garnel scallops in my court were very delicate and tasteful. they also cook their hibachi steak to tempo and my partner mr steak was absolutely perfect. very rustic and quiet atmosphere. we will definitely come back.

this restaurant offers many possibilities. I was glad to see that they have a separate section on the sushi menu for vegetarian options. most were already vegan, but some had spicy mayo that they like to go away. I love that they have more interesting choices than the usual gurke or avocado reels (although they are available). there are also hot meals if they don't want sushi.
Ofelia
cost-effective sushi. wonderful fried rice without tweeting when they are allergic. best old dashi tofu I was in the triangle! the employees have grown to get to know my partner and I from our frequent visits. also on the first trip, they adapted to our request and well maintained excellent customer service. a warning that they eat popular place, so it can take time to get their order. I propose to submit the order by phone before I go to the main meal.
