Akai Sushi review: our verdict
A flowering cherry tree in the middle of the room, sea-green walls, and light wood tables: Akai Sushi plays up softness from the moment you enter. The sushi is the specialty, served on platters of salmon maki, California rolls with tobiko, fried rolls drizzled with sauce, and nigiri, alongside stir-fried rice and spring rolls for those who don't eat raw fish. Colorful cocktails, mint and lime, accompany the meal.
The service is the real asset: smiling, attentive, with a manager who ensures everything goes well and special touches for children, such as a free ice cream or a few spring rolls. It's a place to come with family or as a couple, in a calm atmosphere. Not for sushi purists: the pieces are sometimes small, the rice cooking uneven, and the house is stronger overall on its broader Asian menu.
The dish to order: a mixed platter, with a stir-fried rice to share. The trap: expecting Japanese counter sushi, this isn't the register, and the bill is a bit high. The good time slot: dinner in peace; the house serves every day from 1 p.m. to 1 a.m.
