Akasaka Restaurant

Is it possible for a sushi roll to be too big? Eat at Akasaka Restaurant and find out. (Pictures included) Be careful when ordering, because one of their rolls is likely to be 3 or even 4 times larger than any other sushi roll you might be used to. The food was good enough that I would eat there again, but not the highest quality sushi I have ever had, hence the 4 star review. But per the my first statement, they really are almost too big. It was eat even one slice because of the size. When looking at the menu, my first thought were the prices were quite high, but don’t let that fool you because you are more than getting the value for the money. There were 4 of us and we made the mistake of ordering 3 rolls and a chicken Katsu, but we could only finish one roll and the Katsu, so order accordingly. The service was good, although just slow enough to be noticeable. They were welcoming and genuinely looked like they liked working there, which is a plus for me. It is a bit of a hole in the wall and the interior could use some refreshing, but otherwise clean and respectable. You should feel comfortable eating here. Decent food, great value and smiling service. I would recommend this restaurant and I would come again. Just make sure you know what you are getting into with the rolls.

The place is very small but compared to all the other Japanese restaurants, the portions are generous. The server we had was very nice and efficient. If you don't care about aesthetics then this place is a must go. We got the chirashi bowl, unagi bowl, and tempura combo. All delicious and cooked well.

Most valuable fresh sushi I have ever had!!! This is our second time to the restaurant, and we ordered a chirashi bowl for 2 person to share.
