    6 stars really. Stopped in for lunch special and really enjoyed our meal. The waitress was great with fast and friendly service and the food was very good. We had chicken hibachi lunch and chicken teriyaki bento box. Also had sweet potatoe roll which was delicious. Very nice calming ambiance.

    Warm welcome to this awesome new addition to the Livingston food scene. Ate there for the first time a few days ago and thought it was great. Clearly whomever runs it has their shit together because everything from service, to decor to the sushi was amazing, especially for. Soft opening. I would take a 1/2 star for the vile parking in the Shop Rite lot but I gave them the benefit of a doubt. Thanks for a great meal and see you again Tuesday night.

    This is my new favorite sushi spot in livingston!! 3 rolls for $15?? The quality of the fish and the portion was amazing for the price!! Super yummy and the service was quick as well! The waitresses were also super nice and accommodating!! I definitely recommend visiting if you're in the area!!

    I'm no sushi expert, but Akasaka delivers for me. Plenty of tasty choices for the non-adventurous like me.

    They use unseasoned non-sushi rice which makes everything taste worse than the expected mediocre suburban NJ sushi.

    A beautiful restaurant inside, with amazing and friendly staff right off the bat. The spicy edamame…read moreand drinks (yuzu fruit aide and tea) started the meal with very positive notes. The sushi and bulgogi were also amazing. I will be back many more times to come. I strongly recommend all of these!

    Yikes - I never thought I'd leave a bad review for anything associated with Kim's. Unfortunately,…read moreit was extremely apparent how much of a rush everyone was in last night. From the wait staff to the bus staff, everyone was running around like crazy. The table next to us, I heard them ask for the manager because they messed up an order with an allergy associated with it. Not good. First things first.. we got out miso soup and my bowl had rice stuck to it on the outside. I thought it was weird but I brushed it off because it was just on the outside. House salad was fine. But one of the women bussing tables tried to bring us a second salad because they were clearly overworked and overly busy. I am currently disgusted because I got to the end of my drink and there was the same old rice at the bottom of my cup as there was on the outside of the miso soup bowl. The sushi was fine. I think it's becoming more noticeable that they drench their rolls in sauce to possibly hide the quality of the fish. I'm not saying it was fishy at all, but wow the sauce is so overwhelming. I got the Elizabeth roll and I had one piece - it had too much sauce so I took some off the top and thought it would fix it. Nope. The entire inside of the roll was so unpleasantly soft and tasted like sauce and mayo.. I am still nauseated thinking about that bite. I didn't taste any piece of fish. I am so so disappointed. The seafood pancake had very long strands of squid which were hard to chew through. Another time that I ordered the seafood pancake. Everything was chopped up in small bites and it was a much more pleasant experience. Lastly.. they bussed our table and left our half eaten food on the floor next to us because I guess they were so busy they forgot about it. It was very chaotic in there last night. They brought us the wrong mochi ad well. It seemed like they were focused on getting people tables instead of pushing out quality food. Very disappointing.

    I guess I give this place overall a 3.5, instead of just a 3. This place caught my eyes as an asian…read morerestaurant in the area and relatively good ratings, but felt that everything was pretty average. I went with a group of 3 and all ordered ramen and the karaage appetizer, but the karaage was just slightly crispy and barely had any flavor, the sauce really saved that dish but definitely would pass on that dish. All 3 ramens were average. The pork cha shu was tender though which was the highlight, but overall broth was pretty standard. Particularly my miso ramen didn't have that much flavor. Service and staff was a bit slow, but food came out pretty fast. Overall not bad, but will probably give this place another go sometime and try some of the other dishes.

    Pass by this little ramen shop many times and decided to give it a try today. They opened at 11:30…read moreso I was there right when they open.. the store is not huge, but with cute decoration on the wall with hand drawn picture of ramen and simple menu.. and with some Asian style decor on the other wall.. I ordered a black garlic ramen and a kids meal (katsu) for my son, they came pretty quickly and they look delicious!! My son's katsu is super hot and crunchy (he said he doesn't want to eat it prior the food come, and ate 1/2 of the chicken!!) that means did you great!!! Rice was a little hard to be honest and corn was ok.. I kinda put them in my ramen.. the black ramen was good.. lots of spinach and thick piece of pork (chasiu).. soup was thick but not too thick!! Noodle was cool perfectly.. only thing is I have to pay to get the egg, but it was cook perfectly!! My son agree since he ate the entire egg.. would definitely come back again.. I wonder if it would get super busy at lunch time since they don't have too many tables (10 maybe), they might be a line out the door.. but 11:30 was a great time!! And parking is just across the street!!
