" I stumbled upon Akarui while exploring downtown and it was an absolute delight! The flavors were authentic and each dish felt like a true representation of Japanese cuisine. I ordered the ramen and was blown away by the depth of flavor in the broth. The service was friendly and quick, and the place had a lovely ambiance perfect for a night out. I can't wait to come back and try the sushi! Highly recommend it for anyone craving a genuine ramen experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Akarui continues to impress. I ordered the chicken tonkotsu ramen, and it was rich and hearty. The noodles were cooked to perfection, and the staff made sure our visit was pleasant without being overbearing. It’s a perfect spot for a quiet dinner or casual outing. I appreciate their commitment to using fresh ingredients. Will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not the best experience at Akarui this time. The ramen was overly salty for my taste, and I didn’t get the kind of depth in flavor I was looking for. On a positive note, the boba options were exciting and they had nice presentations. The decor is modern and inviting, but I think I just picked the wrong dish this time. I might try again but with different menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" Akarui has quickly become my favorite restaurant in Omaha! I love the variety of options on the menu, especially the poke bowls. Each bowl I’ve had is loaded with fresh ingredients and big portions that leave me satisfied. The service is consistently friendly, and I just love the vibe of the restaurant. It has a hip yet cozy feel that makes it perfect for catching up with friends or a casual dinner. Don't miss the mango boba tea, it’s delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was quite pleasant at Akarui! I enjoyed the kalbi tacos, and they were quite uniquely inventive. The service, though efficient, lacked a personal touch. My only complaint is that it felt a little bit chaotic when busy. Nevertheless, it left a strong impression on me. Would definitely recommend - particularly to anyone looking to try innovative takes on classic dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Akarui is simply a hidden gem in downtown Omaha! I had the opportunity to try their new sushi roll creations, and they were phenomenal! Each piece was fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully arranged on the plate. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff are super friendly. I also appreciated how clean the dining area was. I can’t wait for my next visit to try more from their extensive menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Akarui was delightful! My family loved the poke bowls; they were not only tasty but beautifully presented. The staff was attentive and the atmosphere felt lively yet comfortable. I highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you’re looking for a place that caters to both young kids and adults alike. Be ready for a small wait during peak hours, but it’s worth it for the food! " (*Curated Review*)
