" Every visit to Akina has been delightful! The sushi is always fresh, the miso soup is amazing, and the staff makes you feel welcome. The place is a little small but cozy and feels like a hidden treasure in Lancaster. I'll definitely keep coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an average experience at Akina, which I hoped would be better. The sushi was fresh, but my hibachi steak was a bit overcooked and lacked seasoning. Service was decent, but I felt a little neglected when I needed my drink refilled. Still, the ambiance was nice, and I'd consider giving them another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pleasant dinner with friends at Akina. The sushi was fresh, and I particularly enjoyed the tempura veggies. However, the sushi selection was smaller than I anticipated, and the seating was a little cramped. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic! The owners treat you like family, and the food is bursting with flavor. The miso soup was homey and comforting, while the sushi was rolled to perfection. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you're getting. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes, especially the teriyaki chicken that I saw on other tables which looked delicious.

" What an experience! The chef prepared our meals in front of us and engaged with our group, making the dining a joyful occasion. I would recommend the fried rice as it has a unique taste that I haven't found elsewhere. A great place for gatherings! " (*Curated Review*)
