    Clean place, all takeout tho aside from a couple of tables in the parking lot
    Kevin W.

    This is definitely one of the most pleasant culinary surprises I've experienced so far this year. First off, don't let the takeout-esque vibe throw you off. Personally, I wasn't quite sure of the place myself initially but decided to give it a shot after I drove by the location again. It was a good decision. The inside is just a sushi bar/kitchen area, not a dining area. There are a few tables outside in their parking lot area (which is a plus). I decided to try both an entree and sushi option to see how the food fared on both ends. The beef teriyaki lunch was actually excellent. The flavor of the sauce was A+ and the beef was tender, savory and well-cooked. Maybe I was hungry, but I wolfed it down very quickly. The tuna roll was also quite good. The fish was fresh with excellent texture and the rice/fish ratio was just right. Word was the chef is quite experienced and based on the food I had, this definitely was reflected in the quality of both the beef and tuna dishes I had. The price to food quality ratio was also solid and definitely offered good value for the money. The folks here are super friendly and really pleasant to customers. The order came out in a timely manner and I personally think this is a real hidden gem in the area. I will definitely be back as I really enjoyed both aspects of my excellent lunch. It's nice to see another good new dining option in the area.

    sushi & sashimi platter!
    Elisha H.

    Pros: 1. LOTS of variety in their menu! 2. BEAUTIFUL platters for small or large parties. 3. FRESH FISH with a beautiful layout. 4. Great place if you want fast and good sushi for you and your friends. 5. WONDERFUL service! They actually messed up our order so we had 10 extra pieces of sushi! Cons: NONE!

    Fatty tuna & Uni
    Jenny C.

    Akasaka is very much a hole in the wall sort of place, and a true hidden gem. Although the prices aren't cheap, they are definitely very reasonable, particularly for the quality. Fresh sushi, super friendly staff, and within walking distance of home, what's not to love? They even gave us an extra piece of fatty tuna! Definitely will be coming back!

    Spicy salmon and tuna belly
    Edie N.

    Very great service! The chef greeted me himself and offered me a few suggestions on the menu. I got the spicy salmon roll, the weekly special tuna belly and the suno mono. The suno mono was so refreshing to start with, definitely a must. The spicy salmon was so fresh. It was my first time trying tuna belly so I was a little nervous but I actually loved it! I personally feel like it is better than typical tuna roll. So good!

    Small sushi platter (perfect for 2)
    Doris Y.

    5 stars. 10/10. I just had the most AMAZING, FRESH, AUTHENTIC, and DELICIOUS sushi take out in my entire life. It's hard to find a good sushi take out spot to rely on in this area. Both the quality and quantity of the small sushi platter I ordered exceeded my expectations. I've tried sushi at many other places so I always have very high expectations and I am a sushi snob. This place is truly a hidden gem. I wish they would open as a eat in restaurant because their sushi is amazing! The small sushi platter came with 20 pieces of sushi (I had 6 pieces of buttery, fresh TORO in there, salmon, tuna, and the rest) & a special roll & and a regular roll. Each piece just MELTED in my mouth. Remember when you order the platters, the rolls are always chef's choice. The special sushi roll was ALSO delicious and the salmon avocado roll was spectacular. The staff working here are so friendly and treat you like family. They packed the sushi and miso soups very carefully. You can tell they work very hard. The chef has many years of experience with sushi, working in Tokyo, Japan. He told me that I wouldn't be disappointed and he was right! I am ecstatic this spot opened up in Fort Lee and I can't wait to go back again. Call and place an order NOW, you won't regret it! :)

    Our go-to for special occasions. I've never been disappointed. Simply the best- so much fresh deliciousness and attention to detail. great customer service too!

    a tray of sushi on a table

    This is definitely a one time place. Now I know I really should pay attention to negative reviews. They are there for reasons. No one patronizes an establishment intending to give a bad review, they do it with expectation of great experience of their product or services. Having said that, I even let them know I am new to the area and this is my first time ordering. Maybe I should have lowered my expectations? I have never had "Delux Sushi" consisting of only four types fish. Typical of tuna, salmon and two white fish of rather low grade. Usually expect to see eels, shrimp, squid if not more but was I wrong! Oh, one thing that turned me off even more was the fish was warm to touch. Simply put, this was not worth the container it was placed in. A one time place indeed. Dispointed......

    I asked for the rice to be on the outside not the inside. What's with the rolls not together? Wtf!
    Joanne F.

    The person who answers the phones should speak and understand English a little bit better than the person now. I repeated my phone number two or three times and they still got it wrong. The number 0 and the number 2 sound nothing alike. I ordered one cucumber roll and I asked them to put the rice. Of course the rice was on the inside. I don't think I will be returning. Very disappointed! Very frustrating trying to communicate with the sky over the phone.

    Sushi & roll platter MEDIUM
    Kayan W.

    Great sushi platters! We've gotten the sushi & roll platters several times (even on a Tuesday, typically a no-no day for sushi), and each time the fish was super fresh and flavorful. Customer service was fast and friendly. It's now our go-to place for crowd pleasing sushi platters!!

This one is older and the ambience is not quite as nice/private, but we had a great meal here. I love their sets! The sashimi is incredibly fresh. I'm usually not a huge fan of Korean oysters, but the ones we had here were the freshest I've ever had. Next time I come I will probably ask for the fresh fluke (?) sashimi to come out first before the assorted sashimi, because that was the absolute best and it was a shame we barely had room left to enjoy it. Service was very friendly and they even gave us the live octopus appetizer on the house because it was my FIL's birthday, which was very sweet of them.

She really wanted to try live octopus and white fish sashimi she said very popular on TikTok. There were six of us and my daughter already picked the Bada Palace Table set before we went to the restaurant. I didn't realize how much food was included in the set, the leftovers we took home was enough for a full second dinner. Everything was absolutely fresh and delicious. In fact, it was so fresh that the leftover sashimi we took home were still really fresh the second night. I heat up the leftover tempura in air fryer and they were still quite crispy the second night. The staffs were very helpful and attentive throughout the night. We are not Koreans but they didn't treat us differently. I can say that I don't always get equal attention at other Korean restaurants when they realize we are not Koreans. They also use extra care to wrap up our leftovers. I believe this is the reason why they were still so good the second night. I really love the level of attention they put into every detail. Highly recommend this place.

The soft shell crab was yummy and perfectly fried but we preferred dipping it into the yellowtail sauce. The yellowtail was a little overcooked and not the best piece. My friend complained that the meat was too tough as it was not just the collar portion. I usually find overcooking the yellowtail quite difficult since it's normally very tender. The cheesy corn chicken was delicious. Love the little pieces of corn in the cheese and the texture and taste of the chicken. The interior of the restaurant is clean, bright and relaxing. Service was good. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have the Orion draft available. Ordered and the ever came back 5 mins later saying that's unavailable as well so I ended up ordering the Terra. The have meter parking in the back or the restaurant. Around $3 per hour and the restaurant will refund you the first hour. Plus if you pay cash, you get 12% off. I would definitely check the bill as there was definitely a discrepancy with the parking reimbursement and cash discount.

My son got a bit of a kick out of the random frogs they have placed around the restaurant. Food tip: Although they have lunch and dinner menus, you are allowed to order off the dinner menu if the lunch menu is not something you want. We ordered the fried dumplings $12, 2 salmon lovers, chirashi bowl, udon for the kids, chilled buckwheat and acorn jelly bowl, spicy octopus bibimbap in hot stone pot + miso soup and garlic chicken. Did we over order? Definitely yes. But we finished most of the things. Sushi in the chirashi set and the salmon lover was fresh and tasty, so I would order that again if we come back. Parking: street parking can be hectic but spaces opened up being it was a Sunday. The lot in the back didn't have a designated space for them, so it would either be municipal or street parking.

The service was amazing, with the waiters being very attentive and paying close attention to everything from how much water was in your cup to how clean your plate was Dinner started with light appetizers featuring a variety of flavors to get you used to the main course.
