Hawaiian Classic
Angie K.

I was in a new area of town and decided I would give this place a try after browsing the menu. Poke bowls, sushi, and ramen, how could I go wrong? I tried the Hawaiian Classic poke bowl. I admit having corn in it was a little bizarre, but overall it was quite tasty. The poke sauce had more of a kick than I was expecting from the description but I like spicier things so that wasn't an issue. The server was friendly and good about coming to check on me. The place has booths and tables so a bit of everything as far as the setup goes. Good for a quick meal or spending more time over a meal. It was surprisingly not crowded during the week at dinner time, I'll have to come back to try more things next time I'm over that way!

My girlfriend and I are always in the mood for a date here, amazing ramen, extremely friendly staff and in a great location in the capitol district downtown, parking isn't always great but it's worth getting down there to try it. Something about the broth in all of their Ramen's is so dang good.

I'm home sick so ramen was ordered to go last night!

We hit this spot up again with friends the other day and it did not disappoint! The shrimp dumplings were delicious. I just wish there were more, they are that good. Our ramen was exceptional! I added cilantro and shrimp with a side of the hot (chili) oil. The hubby added extra ramen noodles but no shrimp this time. Our daughter enjoyed hers as well. Our waitress, Noemi remembered our orders and was very nice and soft spoken! We went right when they opened up so it was not noisy with only a few customers dining at the time. OAN, I've been sick the last few days so I got ramen for dinner last night, too!

Poke
Hillary P.

As always, amazing, amazing, amazing! Truly, the best Ramen, sushi, and poke in the Omaha area Excellent service, friendly and attentive. Everything about the food is excellent. The restaurant is clean and has an open and modern vibe. Not sure what else I can say to another return visit that just made us happy

Poke - make your own, triple protein
Jana J.

This is my first time coming in, and the poke bowl I got was absolutely delicious! This is a great spot for affordable sushi/Asian food. It was pretty authentic as far as I could tell! The overall vibe of the restaurant is more on the casual side. The bathrooms are tucked away in a corner, seemingly shared with another space for the kitchen. The single stall women's restroom was not the cleanest, but definitely usable. Nothing about this spot absolutely blew me away, but it was a good meal for an affordable price. I probably wouldn't see this out on my own, but would definitely come back if invited here!

Tuna Roll in soy paper
Suzanne T.

Super tasty and friendly staff. The menu is crazy long and options seem limitless! We opted for the sushi route and enjoyed Edamame (it was ok, not awful but definitely far from the best we've had), Eel Roll, a Tuna Roll, and a Spicy Tuna Roll. All of the rolls were great and prepared exactly as ordered. They also had gluten free soy sauce, which was appreciated. The prices were reasonable, the restaurant was clean, and the noise level was not too loud. I would definitely come back!

Over the last 3 years of living here, this is still my favorite sushi and ramen place. My son and I have tried others but keep coming back to Akarui. Service is always great, the atmosphere is relaxed and the food is always delicious.

This is literally one of my favorite places to eat. The ramen always hits the spot. I also always get either the salmon or tuna tartar. Service is always fast and staff is friendly. They also have boba tea and variety of other drinks to choose from, plus alcoholic beverages.

Akarui is a great Japanese restaurant in downtown Omaha offering ramen, teriyaki, poke, sushi, boba, and more! Prices were affordable, service was friendly and attentive, and the food was tasty! Akarui is a dine-in restaurant and had a spacious and clean dining area. I ordered the pork gyoza ($6.99) which had perfectly cooked crispy sides and were tender and flavorful. Order comes with 6 dumplings. I also ordered the spicy miso ramen ($14.99). The noodles had great texture, meat was tender, and the broth had a good flavor profile. The sweet corn in the ramen was kinda tough so I might omit that next time. I ordered boba as well. Had the pineapple peach palmar with mango popping boba. Very refreshing but pretty sweet. I'm not a boba officianto but was a great treat!

Shumai

Came in for dinner on a business trip when it was perfect soup weather. The menu was HUGE The ramen was amazing so was the shu mai. The servers were attentive! The art on the walls was really pretty too! Definitely hit the spot!

Peach and Dragon Fruit Boba
Parnika N.

We were staying at Hilton and Akarui was very close to our hotel. I love the ambiance at the restaurant which signifies the cuisine that they offer. Our table was closer to the street and Omaha is a very calm city, we got to enjoy the city view with our food. The crew was very sweet and patient. The price was reasonable and portion size was large. We ordered Peach Dragon fruit tea with popping lychee boba and it came in the cute Kitty sipper and they taste refreshing! The sushi was delicious. It was one of the best sushi that I have tasted. I tried Takoyaki for the first time and it was extremely delicious too. The Poke bowl was quite nice, although we were fairly stuffed by then. Overall we had a memorable experience and we steeped out as content diners. The restaurant is wheelchair friendly, although I did not spot an parking near by. Akarui is a must visit for anyone in Omaha.

Great service and really nice place for dinner with friends. We even wore matching sweaters and loved the food. High recommend!

Bento box A.
Cheol K.

Was staying at the Marriott and this place was just around the corner. I was skeptical, because I'm from Seattle where seafood and sushi have a high standard. The other Yelpers and their reviews swayed me to give this place a try. So I got the bento box A. This came with teriyaki chicken, gyoza, california rolls, and seaweed salad. The chicken was a perfectly cooked chicken breast with a very light sweet sauce on top. I appreciate not having my chicken overcooked, which is usually the case with chicken breast meat. The seaweed salad was light, refreshing, and slightly salty with a hint of the sea. The gyoza was perfectly crisp and delicious. California rolls were decent. Overall, the portion was very large and I devoured the entire box. We ended up coming back another night where I ate a spicy ramen noodle bowl. That was decent, but I'd suggest trying the bento box and some sushi rolls. My friends had a variety of rolls and they really like it. I also ended up getting a boba drink the second night. I made sure to save room as I was too full the first time. Lots of boba options to choose from so think ahead if you want to enjoy both.

Would not let us sit in an empty booth hosting staff said it was easier cleanup for them.

Tempura udon was delicious. Great comfort food on a cold day. The hand rolls were also a great appetizer.

They have lots of ramen options on the menu, all customizable spice level and the option to add extra ingredients. There was a little wait time, but it was a Friday night around 7pm, so not surprising. The service was awesome! Our server answered all our questions and was quick with orders and refills on drinks. We started with Thai Tea and it was delicious! I love boba and the sweetness of the tea was a perfect combination with the pearls. For my main entree I had the Spicy Hokkaido spice level 3 and it was perfect! I wanted spicy, but not so hot I was hurting. 3 was great for me. They use chili oil, gochujang, and habanero for level 3 so it packs a punch! The overall flavor was delicious with a spicy finish to each bite, especially the broth. We ended with a complementary fried oreo which was as awesome as it sounds. The vibe in Hokkaido is very nostalgic with throwback tunes on the radio and lots of cartoon & anime characters incorporated in the decor. It's a really fun spot and we will definitely be back soon!

I could not taste the tea due to the overpowering milk, and the tapioca was somewhat hard and didn't seem cooked properly. The Ramen itself was delicious, however. They have many options for premade bowls and are also very flexible if you want to make your own. You can choose your own broth, meat, toppings, spicy level, etc. The Tonkotsu Shoyu broth tastes rich and flavorful.
