So very disgusting – Wow. Just... wow. This is, far and away, the worst sushi I've ever had. It looks bad and smells worse. The taste is metallic and fishy. Eat here at your own peril.
bad bug problem – I would be very cautious when choosing to eat at akari. I am former employee for akari express. The first issue is that it is infested with roaches, to the point they are even crawling out from the napkin holders. Some days would get so grossed out that she could even serve food. If you question what I'm saying please call the health inspection department and ask them how many points were subtracted to her sanitation score, on the count of how many roaches were seen by the inspector while she was in the bui... read more
This is great food? – After seeing all of the great reviews my boyfriend and I decided to try Akari Express instead of going to Kanki. We placed our order through Raleigh TakeOut and were pleased with the good prices (especially compared to Kanki). The food arrived and didn't look great but I figured it would taste great based on the amazing reviews. I don't know what restaurant those people ate at, but it couldn't have been Akari. We ordered a feast: teppenyaki, vegetable tempura, house salad and seaweed salad. The seaweed ... read more
Great Neighbors Great Food Great Service – I own a Tattoo Studio right next door to Akari Express and eat at their establishment EVERY day. Literally! Jean and all her staff are always extremely friendly and you can tell that they take great pride in their food. I opened in August of 09' and i haven't got the slightest bit tired of their food. When you eat their food it is obvious that they do not use sub-par ingredients. I have yet to eat a piece of meat that has had ANY fat on it. Nothing there is EVER frozen, their vegeta... read more
Excellent food... but theres more to it. – So reading these other reviews i am getting a vibe that some people believe that akari is great while others have a bad experience with it and rate it as terrible. well i have eaten there many times and here is the truth: both sides are right. First off let me say that the food is excellent, some of the best oriental food i have ever had. The prices are decent as well. The environment on the other hand can be vary greatly. The actually restaurant on the inside seems a bit old and ch... read more
Top 5 on my list – Akari is phenomenal, the food is great, the price is awesome, the people are wonderful. I have never had a single problem, I'm welcomed into the place no matter what time I come in, and can enjoy great conversation while I'm waiting for my food. The owner is a great guy, super nice, always on the up and up and nicer to me and my friends who go maybe once a week. To those who left the negative review, I'm not sure why you expected him to eavesdrop on your conversation; if he had butted in when you started m... read more
Good Food, Good People, Good Times – This establishment is in essence a phoenix. Formerly Miyako, which stumbled toward the end of its existence into a poorly managed and operated restaurant, Akari was reborn and turned into a place for friends, family, and food. I have eaten all over Raleigh and attempted to locate better, less expensive food and I have failed to do so. Akari offers competitive pricing with excellent service that is more personal and not the seemingly cliché robotic garbage you get at large chain restaurant... read more
PHENOMENAL food and service.... – I've literally eaten at Akari at least 50 times or more and the food as well as the customer service has ALWAYS been nothing but exemplary. I have yet to have a negative experience. Everyone that works there is extremely helpful, kind and thankful. The food, is OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD! I kid you not.... Beef that's so tender it's crazy. And the sauces are drool-worthy as well. I would choose Akari any day of the week over Kanki as there is NO comparison... and you'll pay about 3 times more fo... read more
Fabulous experience – Akari is a chillen spot for me and my friends... We always eat there once a week... Food is wonderful and can't beat the price. We always do leave very satisfied... Their sesame chickens & steak, chicken, and shrimp yakisobas are to die for!!! Always enjoy the conversations I have with the owners & workers... It's definitely a place I would recommend to all students at NCSU...
