I recently dined at Akasaka Sushi Restaurant and had an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome and attentive service. The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing meal. The sushi at Akasaka is simply outstanding. The fish was incredibly fresh, and

I recently visited Akasaka Sushi Restaurant in Hacienda Heights, and I have to say, their chirashi bowl is absolutely exceptional! The bowl is a vibrant, artistic presentation of fresh fish, each slice delicately placed on a bed of perfectly seasoned sushi rice. The variety of fish included is impressive--tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and more, all incredibly fresh and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The restaurant itself has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring that every detail of our dining experience was perfect. I also appreciated the authenticity and quality of the ingredients, which really sets Akasaka Sushi apart from other sushi spots in the area. Overall, if you're a sushi lover and find yourself in Hacienda Heights, Akasaka Sushi is a must-visit. The chirashi bowl alone is worth the trip, and I'm looking forward to my next visit to explore more of their delicious offerings!

Perfect and best value of Lunch menu!! Beef Teriyaki, Sashimi and Salad & Rice is one of the best value & pricing in lunch period!!! There were at least 8 pieces of beef teriyaki and thick cut sashimi of salmon, Albore, and Yellowtail, green salad !! Services were great n efficient, and it's good in n out within one hour if you're rushing in lunch hours!!!

Super cozy and cute, huge portions too and super sweet staff! I love going here since its clean and quiet, the food taste amazing too. :)

I've been here twice and each time I have gotten the chirashi bowl. Honestly, it's such a good price for the amount of food you get and it's probably the best deal for it anywhere. The chirashi bowl comes with a fried shrimp head, a heaping helping of monkfish liver, a raw sweet shrimp, a piece of eel, some poke mix, seaweed salad, octopus salad, salmon roe, wasabi, picked ginger, a shiso leaf and many big slices of albacore, salmon and yellowtail over a bed of sushi rice. Keep in mind, all of this was almost $50 pre-tax. The first time I had this, I had one all to myself and it took me 3 meals to finish it. This recent visit I shared with my friend and the both of us couldn't finish it during our visit and became a nice second meal. The restaurant itself is a little old. They have seating in the main part of the building and another room next to the entrance (you go back outside and it's similar to a converted patio room). They do have a decent sized parking lot, but you may need to park on the street if the parking lot is filled. Also, the parking lot is one way.

Ordered a Yellowtail & Salmon Roll to-go. Came in around 7:30 on a Wednesday evening and the place was packed! Place was filled with hungry joyous families and heroic servers coming to the rescue! Once I made my pitstop at Akasaka Sushi, I blasted back home to dine into the rolls. The pieces were quite large and had a lot of fish, rice, avocado, and greens packed + sliced into thick pucks. Please check on the size comparison with Fiona's hand below. Yellowtail and salmon tasted fresh, light, and delicious with the paired ingredients along with the wasabi paste and soy sauce. Rice was cooked perfectly. The end pieces were the most tasty, so be on the lookout for those first. I didn't realize the soup came with the meal but definitely not the star of the show. Not memorable enough tbh. I didn't have any form of dine-in, but I absolutely loved the food and would love to come back here another time. I would recommend this spot to anyone who wants to munch on some sushi. Yellowtail roll - 5/5 Salmon roll - 5/5

A hidden gem, masqueraded within an old looking house, located in an industrial area, weeds growing behind an old chain-link fence. Around the corner is where the parking lot and entrance to the restaurant is. The looks of the restaurant is way better from this side of the building. Small parking lot, entrance to the restaurant located to the rear of the house. Definitely an older house, converted to a local restaurant. Fairly busy, with a small dining area, with 1 waitress, and 1 assistant / busboy. 2 sushi makers behind a counter, located in the corner, and I'm assuming a handful of workers in the kitchen. Food was excellent, teriyaki beef was flavorful and tender, the sushi roll were huge, almost the size of a burrito. Our waitress was very nice, helpful and attentive. Will definitely be back.

I was craving sushi and my boyfriend had seen Akasaka Sushi Restaurant on social media, so we agreed to come here for dinner. They are located in their own private lot tucked away in an industrial area. They have their own private parking lot. The interior was very quaint and they can use some renovations. Definitely a hole in the wall type of hidden restaurant. Our eyes were lured by their chirashi bowl, and my boyfriend was looking at add-ons to the meal. Thankfully I read some reviews from my fellow yelpers that the chirashi was huge and enough for 2 people, so I told him we should share and we can order more nigiri or handrolls if we are still hungry. He'll thank me for this restraint cause the Chirashi Bowl ($49.95) was more than enough food and it left us both feeling stuffed. Before we ordered, we were given complimentary edamame and miso soup to enjoy while we went over the menu. It was a nice touch, and I liked that the edamame was unsated, since I've been cutting back on my sodium intake. One thing I really didn't like was when the waiter brought out the chirashi bowl, his hand touched the eating end of my chopstick. I felt compelled to grab new chopsticks from the table next to us because that wasn't sanitary. On the bright side, the chirashi bowl was HUGE! There was a generous amount of protein and the cuts were thick. There was a lot of yellowtail and salmon, which were both fatty and melt in your mouth buttery. There was also albacore, ikura, ebi, unagi, scallop, a poke mixture and I think sliced octopus or squid. The sushi rice could use improvement. It was more normal rice than sushi rice, maybe it can use more rice vinegar. The wasabi was definitely not fresh. After we paid and was ready to leave, it was really nice that the restaurant brought out a segment of a sliced pineapple as a complimentary dessert. I'm not sure why they brought this out cause the other tables didn't get it but the kind gesture was much appreciated. I liked this restaurant but the difficult thing for me on coming back would be their large portions. I am a small portions with variety type of person. I saw the rolls and appetizers from other tables and everything was giant sized. I would tell you to come with friends but the restaurant is so tight, it would be potentially difficult to get seating to come with a large group.
