    Spider Roll

    Why Akari is our go to Japanese restaurant: Consistent quality, great service, and worth every penny! Sushi is always fresh, the appetizers can be a meal in itself, great selection.

    First visit here last night. It was excellent. Good food, good Service. Took a friend for dinner and really enjoyed it. Lots of variety in the menu. Started with Steamed Edamame and Plum Wine. Both were delicious. We all ordered the Large Combination Dinners so we could try a sampling. We all took enough home for a second meal. Looking forward to another visit.

    Akari is located in a strip mall. Price, quality and size is definitely a thumb up. I got the California combo and on top, I added a chop scallop roll. Portion size was huge. The California roll here is definitely bigger than what you would usually get at other Japanese restaurants. I liked the gomae the most. Plenty of sauce. Sauce is what makes the gomae tasty. Their spicy roll had a very generous amount of salmon. Service is a ok. Nothing too wow on service. We asked for a pot of tea. They weren't happy about giving it to us. But again, I think they later realized the times that they had to go and refill our tea pot. They had to refill our tea pots every 20 mins. If I didn't ask for a pot, it would be every 5 mins. I also liked their green tea or tea that they provided. It was definitely good quality tea. I highly recommend giving this place a try.

    Good japanese food! Their tempuras were very crispy and fresh, servers were also friendly. Would come back!

    Salmon Kama

    Great Japanese restaurant. They have fast service too. Besides that, their servings are huge. Food was served fast and it was all filling. I love Salmon Kama and I think they make the best one too. We will surely be back!

    I was here with my buddy C earlier for late lunch. Akari is the closest Japanese restaurant in Delta as I looked it up on Yelp earlier. Price is kind of expensive, but food is decent. I ordered Negitoro Roll ($4.50) and BC Roll ($5) and C got Rock Cracker Roll ($12) and Rock Cracker Roll was the BEST thing ever. Fresh and nicely made rolls with some crumbs which got shrimp in it along with deep fried scallops. So much flavour and it was crispy and delicious. No wonder it was recommended by other yelpers. I liked my food as well. The rolls were nicely made and it didn't break apart. They make great rolls here and the service was fast. Will return if I'll be around Delta.

    Special Bento

    I have been coming to Akari since moving to the area about 15 years ago. This is the best sushi place around Surrey and North Delta. The fish is so fresh and melts in your mouth. They have the best specialty rolls out there! So many options. Tonight we decided to go bento box as we both felt like a warm meal. Ordered the special box which had a nice assortment. Love the chicken karaage. Gyoza was not cooked well. A little crunchy on the outside rather than cooked and crispy. Also had the seafood bento box. Fish was amazing and the smoked salmon roll was so good! Service was a bit lacking this time around, had to flag her a few times but normally its good.

    Sockeye salmon sashimi
    John L.

    Had dinner here on Sept 7th. We ordered a variety of rolls (avocado, yam, teriyaki) , miso soup and sockeye salmon sashimi. All were good, reasonably priced. food presentation was also good. The place is very popular as we saw many people coming in for pickups. I would go back if i was in the area.

    I don't rate 4-stars that easily, especially for sushi joints (my 2nd favourite cuisine), and certainly out in the burbs lol. But I digress. The rating's more for their ambience, layout & friendly service. Taste-wise, it's good enough for repeat visits, as I still feel the Vancouver ones are a notch up. Decor is nicer than casual, and on the left, cool, private booths with those paper wall/doors to pull open/close...and different sections throughout. If I recall, even some imitation cherry blossoms hanging lol. Good value; would've preferred the cali roll to be more bite-sized, though generous portion of black sesame seeds. The spicy crunch roll would be a repeat for me, a real kick to it. Clean washrooms. A place to recommend for big groups & some action. yes, another Korean-run joint, yay. Located in the gigantic plaza with Steve Nash. too bad they don't deliver or offer online ordering, like Oysi Oysi or Mega Sushi in Richmond.

    Beautiful music and decor in this restaurant.
    Peter E.

    I was greeted immediately by friendly Japanese staff. The decor and music are beautiful. It feels wonderful and relaxing in here like a spa. I ordered the bento box with tempura, chicken teriyaki, salad and some sort of deep fried treat. The chicken was perfectly grilled. The tempura was fresh. I also ordered an appetizer sashimi. Fresh and wonderful. Also had a nicely peeled sweet orange. They checked up on me frequently which was nice. Too many restaurants have given up and not strived for customer satisfaction. They think that status quo is acceptable. Thank you Akari for caring about your customers and putting out quality products. I'll be back for sure.

The menu contains a variety of rice combo dishes that you can select (pork, chicken, beef, fois gras, curry) and a tempura noodle set as well. Occasionally, they also have specials as well. My boyfriend and I ordered the beef set and the tempura noodle set with pork. I love how there are a variety of side dishes that come with the set. This is great for those who like variety and want to have a complete meal with all the food groups. My favourite is definitely the pickled daikon/carrot and the cabbage salad! The food is not too salty and the broth was perfectly seasoned for my palate. My boyfriend also ordered an espresso romano which I had never tried before. The foam on top was surprisingly refreshing with a tart aftertaste of lime. The prices were also very fair with most sets averaging around $19-20 before tax. You order at the counter and pay after you're finished. This is a great place for a quick bite especially if you're in the Ironwood area of Richmond.

All the courses came with their own sides which was great! Salmon course 4.5/5 maybe it was me and I waited too long to eat so my salmon dried out a little bit the flavor was so good that I didn't mind. I normally hate overcooked salmon but I wouldn't say this was overcooked. Beef course 5/5 the egg was beautifully cooked. The beef was plentiful and I love the addition of the ginger. Udon soup 4.5/5 you get your choice of beef, pork or chicken. It comes with a side of tempura. It was good! Hot and fresh. I love that the temprua was not in the soup. Mango soda 3/5. Refreshing yes. But I expected it to be sweeter or have more mango flavour. Also, if you post a photo on social media, you get a free order of prawn tempura which was nice. Overall we had a great experience. Will definitely come back again!

The ambiance felt warm and well organized with comfortable seating and a nice setup that made it a pleasant place to relax and enjoy a meal. The food was good as well. I especially loved the mango avocado tempura rolls because they were light, crispy, and refreshing. The miso soup tasted comforting and flavorful, and the beef tataki bowl was also good. We ended up ordering quite a bit of food along with some sake and everything was served nicely. The only thing I did not enjoy as much was the veggie gyoza because the filling tasted a bit unusual to me. Overall, we had a pleasant experience dining here. It is very important for restaurants to maintain genuine pricing while continuing to serve quality food that makes customers want to come back again, and I hope they continue to maintain both their pricing and quality.

Searching on yelp for options, we found this little Japanese restaurant only 5-10 minutes away from the ferry terminal. It was nice to see that it was open later, I think until 930 and the restaurant itself is very welcoming and nice. We were quickly seated and all got menus for all four of us. The food options are great, I think I could tell that there was a strong Korean influence as there was Kim Chi, fried rice and a number of other Korean influenced options. We ordered quickly, including some edamame and spring rolls and everything. It came out fast and hot. The server was friendly. The place was nice. The seating was comfortable. The price was reasonable and can highly recommend you stop here. As a coincidence leaving out of the parking lot you can exit through the Tim Hortons and grab a coffee and a chocolate dipped doughnut to go.

    There aren't many choices for sushi in North Delta / Surrey. Me and my friend were craving for…read moresome Japanese cuisine and passed by Sunshine Hills Centre located on the northwest corner of 120th Street (Scott Road) & 64th Avenue and decided to give Sushi Wara a try. The place looks spacious on the outside as it shares the building and is adjacent joining to the Browns Social House. But once inside you realize it's pretty small with only 6 dine in tables and more suitable as a takeout joint. We wanted to keep it simple and ordered a Sashimi Box and a Karaage Don. The Karaage Don's chicken didn't taste like it had really any solid chicken pieces in it and just comprised of mushed up pieces of chicken parts. Furthermore, it was paired up with a honey mustard sauce on the side which was odd and did not compliment the dish well, definitely had better. The Sashimi Box's contents were pretty big portions, but the Tuna Sashimi was not thawed properly before being served and it had a really strong fishy smell to it. At $26.95, it's overpriced by around $4.00 compared to it's competitors around town in addition to the subpar quality was a real downer. Plenty of free parking with 4 stalls right in front of the restaurant and throughout the strip mall.
