" What a wonderful restaurant! The sushi was among the freshest I've tasted, and the hibachi chicken was cooked right in front of us. The flavors were outstanding. The education on each dish from the staff was a nice touch. Definitely a must-visit for anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining here, but my experience left much to be desired. The hibachi chicken was flavorless, and the sauces offered didn't improve it much. The service was prompt, but I would not recommend. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pretty disappointed with my experience. The food wasn't bad, but it didn't meet my expectations based on reviews. The shrimp tempura was oily, and my sushi roll fell apart. They were busy, so maybe I hit them on a bad day. The staff was eager to help, so I appreciate that, but I probably won't return any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the cozy vibe of this place. It's nice to have a local sushi spot where the owners know your name. The portions are good for the price, and the quality is top-notch. I've brought friends here, and everyone leaves happy. Just wish they'd fix the seating area; a bit run down. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Akina based on the reviews, but sadly, my experience didn't quite match the hype. The sushi was fresh but lacked that wow factor, and my friend found hair in her food. The staff was apologetic and fixed it, but it left a bad impression overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" This little gem is amazing! The sushi is incredibly fresh, and the hibachi is cooked to perfection. The staff is always friendly, making every visit a great experience. I highly recommend trying the spicy tuna roll and their homemade miso soup. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
