    Sushi and service are excellent. Love the seaweed salad! Nice clean restaurant. The manager actually comes by the table to check on you.

    Akami Sushi & Grill was a really pleasant surprise in Dawsonville. I honestly did not expect to…read morefind a sushi spot this good on the north side of Atlanta, but this place absolutely delivered. First off, full transparency: I am NOT some sushi expert. I'm not going to pretend I can break down every fish and technique like a professional critic. What I can tell you is simple -- I grabbed sushi, put it in my mouth, and it was yummy yummy in my tum-tum. That's my expert analysis. But seriously, the sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You really do eat with your eyes first, and everything coming out of the kitchen looked excellent. The rolls looked clean, colorful, and well made without being overloaded. Add in the soy sauce, wasabi, yum-yum sauce, and the whole experience just worked. The gyoza was an excellent starter. Nice crisp on the bottom, soft on top, and the sauce paired with it really well. We also tried the Beef Tataki. Flavor-wise, it was good, but I do wish the beef had been a little more tender. Personally, I'd probably skip that dish next time, but honestly this is a sushi restaurant, so I'm not going to hold one beef appetizer against them when everything else was very strong. The chicken tonkatsu with fried rice was excellent. Super crispy breading, juicy chicken, and the sauce on top tied everything together really well. Next time I actually want to try the pork cutlet because they clearly know how to fry food properly. Service was A+. Spencer took care of us and was a gentleman from beginning to end. Friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The inside of the restaurant deserves its own paragraph because they did an AMAZING job with the design. It's modern, spacious, clean, and honestly feels much more upscale than you'd expect in Dawsonville. The booths and tables are roomy, we never felt cramped, and the whole atmosphere makes it feel like a great date-night spot or somewhere you can actually relax and enjoy dinner. Pricing varies depending on the sushi rolls. Some are around $13 while others go into the $15-17 range depending on what you order, which honestly feels pretty normal for quality sushi these days. Also, one final important detail: When you leave, grab one of those little guava candies by the entrance. I'm telling you right now, those things are ridiculously good. Plenty of parking too since it's right there by the North Georgia Premium Outlets area. Overall, very happy with this place and definitely one of the better surprises I've had in Dawsonville in a long time. We'll absolutely be back. And yes... all of this was enjoyed properly with a Coke Zero because they are a Coca-Cola spot. PS: They gave me a membership rewards card that helped me save about 8 bucks Accumulate points as you continue dining in

    My experience at Volcano was so unprofessional and off-putting that it reflects a serious failure…read morein management not just a bad night. Our party arrived at 9:12 PM, nearly an hour before their posted 10:00 PM closing time. Before we were even seated, we were told that if we didn't place our order within five minutes, we would not be served. We hadn't sat down, hadn't seen a menu, and hadn't been greeted properly yet we were immediately met with pressure and dismissiveness. This is not a staffing issue this is a management issue. Properly run restaurants do not treat paying customers like an inconvenience simply because the staff wants to close early. If your kitchen closes before your posted hours, that needs to be clearly communicated and enforced professionally not thrown at guests in a rushed, borderline hostile manner. What's most concerning is that this behavior felt normalized, as if management has allowed or even encouraged staff to operate this way. That speaks volumes about the leadership and standards of this establishment. First impressions matter, and this one ensured I will never return. I would strongly caution others to reconsider before dining here, especially if you expect to be treated with basic courtesy and respect. Ownership should take a hard look at how this restaurant is being managed, because experiences like this don't just lose one customer they damage the reputation of the entire

They are usually very busy which tells you it's a great oldie as many Asian restaurants are mostly take out, I love the decor as it's fairly upscale and reminiscent of a NY restaurant not the usual tacky Chinese decor lol ( I'm a designer so maybe more sensitive to decor) They are very friendly and helpful in making your choices You can sit at the sushi bar and watch the chef's do their magic with fish ! The waiting area is limited and usually crowded so might be good to call ahead during the busier times This restaurant located in a Publix shopping center is always the most highly rated Asian restaurant in Forsyth Just go !

The place was very busy for a Tuesday night (good sign) but the service was very attentive. Drinks refilled before they got 1/2 down. Food came out fast. The steamed potstickers were excellent but luke warm. My wife had Hot and Sour Soup for dinner and it was very tasty although a bit salty and also not that warm. I had Pad Thai it it was EXCELLENT. Hot, perfect flavor, tender chicken, just spot on.

PERFECTION!! the spicy edamame was soooo good and that's coming from someone that doesn't really care for edamame. the spicy garlic sauce made it taste so much better. their pork bulgogi is also soft and the sauce has good flavor as well. i was blown awayyy. totally recommend trying!!

    The service was very nice and kind, when we first walked we were greeted with a hello from all of…read morethe staff in the kitchen. Looking around, they have K-POP (not demon hunters) music playing on a tv and another playing sports. The tables have a glossy marble finish. Some of the walls are bare rock, the others are a smooth finish. When I had gotten my Sashimi and Nigiri it was put on a fancy plate with little white thingys and lemon, ginger, and a flower. Eating the sashimi was amazing; it was cold and soft. It had a nice pink-red color and was very nice to eat. When I had tried the Nigiri, the salmon and rice was warm, with the salmon being soft, like the sashimi. TL;DR: Service was great, Ambience was great, and the food was served with glory and deliciousness. Overall a 5 star Japanese/Korean restaurant. Would recommend.
