I never got to eat at this restaurant and I never will sue to the hostess tonight on 1/2/22. I decided I wanted to dine at a small business and so we went to Akina. The hostess told us it would be 15-20 min wait. No problem. She took my number and name. 25 min passed, no table, no feedback, nothing. So I asked if there was an ETA on our table. She said it would be another 15-20 min. I responded stating I was told 15-20 min, 25 min ago. Instead of apologizing or sounding at least helpful, she coldly stated "well it's been extended." When was I going to be told the wait time is DOUBLED? Was I supposed to wait 40 min and hope for the best? I understand we are all short staffed due to the pandemic, but this isn't the only industry that is short staffed. Either give a realistic wait time, don't continue taking customers if you can't accommodate them, and for heavens' sake act professionally when dealing with customers. This hostess needs some retraining. I will never be back here. Ever read more

They have really good food. Probably the best tasting Chinese in Clermont. They are just so darn expensive I don't go often.

I'm not sure what we liked more - the food or the service. Margie helped us through our first visit by suggesting rolls that for our preferences. All were wonderful! We were pretty loyal to another local sushi place but will be making this our new go to spot. read more

Im not usually one to complain, but this was disproportionately inadequate. I would not come here again. The food was good, but not good enough to pick this over a closer Chinese take out restaurant. We were one of three tables in the restaurant and our waiter barely paid us any mind. I had to ask repeatedly for a refill of water despite being one of his two tables. He mixed up the checks because he didn't even bother to ask how we wanted them split before he did it. Try somewhere like Green Garden instead. read more

Being that Akina had an overall good Yelp score, our group of 4 decided to try it. Having been to many Asian restaurants myself, and being a fan of many Asian cuisines, I was expecting something decent. The result? We were all disappointed in each dish we received. I had the lemongrass chicken dish, which was tough and rubbery. Chicken and asparagus drenched in some king of soy saucy brown sauce that was just basically a salty sauce with no distinct flavor. I've had MANY lemongrass chicken dishes and this was NOT a lemongrass chicken dish at all. They should be embarrassed serving this as an example of Asian cuisine. Another dish ordered was shrimp garlic sauce type of plate and looked and tasted like they dumped the same sauce on that as well. Looked like they thought quantity would make up for quality and we wouldn't notice. They were wrong. Other plates were sushi, which was very sloppily put together with too little fish and overpacked with rice. I'm only giving 2 stars because we didn't get physically sick. Hoping this town gets more choices soon. As of now, a drive to Orlando might be needed to get good Asian food. Best of luck. read more

We went here a few years ago with coworkers then again a couple of years later with crew/rowing friends for a night out. Now we have rediscovered it again after looking for a sushi chef. Every time we go it's been incredible. We didn't live too close so that's why we didn't frequent more. Now we live a little closer and I won't forget how good the food is this time. I know we got sushi the first time, don't remember the second but I do remember the food was super good! Recently we have ordered sushi again, fried rice and beef broccoli. I've also had the Bok choy which was amazing if you're vegetarian or not! I highly recommend Akina if you are looking for some good Asian dishes. We always look forward to going back. read more

Akina - Chicken & veggie fried rice - Asian Fusion Near Me - Clermont, Florida

This is a very upscale restaurant for a strip mall type location. Great decor, and an extensive pan-Asian menu including Sushi, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and even Indian cuisines. We started with an order of Roti with curry sauce, because what other sushi restaurant has that?! It was excellent, with perfectly fresh roti. The sauce was so good I saved it to put on my rice. I had the lunch sashimi bento box, which included seven nice pieces of fish, seaweed salad and lettuce salad, rice, and a very large bowl of miso soup. The miso was a bit sweeter than normal, but everything else was great. We also had two rolls and some ikura sashimi. All were good. Pricing might be a bit high for the area, but I thought it was worth it. Service was exceptional. I've never had a soft drink refilled so many times! read more

Went in on a Sunday and the vibe inside was very good. It was busier than I expected so that was a plus and a good sign! Just personally don't like the set up of tables in the restaurant but hey, to each their own! I ordered their shrimp tempura sushi and my fiancé ordered the pad thai(minus peanuts) and the portion was very well! He barely could finish the pad Thai and he kept saying how the pad Thai here was one of the best! I love that they have a mix of different Asian cuisines in one place and you don't loose the taste of each cuisine. read more

Had a great night with my fiancé here! the fish was fresh, the rolls were great. The miso soup was the best I've had in the region. My only complaint would be the rice being a little too sweet. Would definitely recommend and will be back for more!!! read more

Attentive service with welcome suggestions, Clean restaurant with a wide selection of delicious food. Substitutions are honored.

Amazing sushi!! Amazing atmosphere!! Great service!! You have to try the volcano roll and temptation roll!

I was real tempted to give them 5 stars. This rating is fairly situational, I did not expect to get even decent sushi in such a random place. So when I found strong sushi game in Clermont, I must admit I was surprised. They have good sushi, and an interesting variety of both Japanese and general Asian dishes. If you are looking for a little adventure Akina would be a great place to go outside your comfort zone. If you are a good enthusiast like me, and need something of more variety, this place is the ticket. The food is good, the service was excellent. We'll make it a regular when visiting. read more

I was expecting much more based on other reviewers. However, we experienced "just ok" sushi and ended up with a lousy waitress. Would've been a 3, if not for the waitress... Overall Rating: 2 - Meh. I've definitely experienced better. The place needs updating and the table we had felt sticky.. not sure how old the place is but it had several chips in the wall against our table and I noticed the carpet was dirty and the seams were coming apart in a major area of the room. It is unfortunate that it is so small but I think a little more thought to the decor should have been considered. Basically, it reminded me of a food court inside, very noisy and crowded, although much of the noise came from a large group seated near the sushi bar.. A few strategically placed plants could even help divide the place up a little. My husband commented that the bathroom was in need of a scrubbing. One good note from him on the bathroom was that they had hot water and soap. Now.. back to the waitress... she didn't have answers to a couple of my questions regarding the sushi menu, nor did she seem interested in finding me the answers by asking someone else. In addition, when she brought out the sushi, she failed to give us chopsticks. My husband had to go and get them himself. She also forgot our napkins and we had to ask another staff member walking by. I had just put the last bite of sushi in my mouth and was still chewing when she came to take my plate. I prefer to finish eating what I have in my mouth before giving up my plate. Off it went before I knew it... On to the food... the rainbow roll was just ok. It had a tempura shrimp center. My husband ordered the albacore scallion roll and the salmon rolls with scallions added. They were so tiny but he said they were good. Our spicy scallop roll was lacking in flavor and presentation. Overall, I was just not impressed with the sushi. A nice touch which we get in many Japanese restaurants that we go to, are hot towels to wipe your hands clean before eating. They might want to consider this during the dinner hours. Playing some Japanese instrumental music would be good too for the ambiance. A few people nearby ordered hot items from the menu... crispy, sizzling chicken dishes... Not sure what they ordered but it all smelled and looked great. Clearly, we ordered the wrong stuff. IF we ever go back, which we might, we will definitely try the hot menu items and I hope to give a better rating for this place. read more

The intimate dining and clean restaurant left me feeling confident in the restaurants upkeeping. Instead of walking into an asain restaurant where everything is identically made in every restaurant, Akina puts their own unique twist on each dish and we loved all of them. They have generous portions, great quality food, and friendly staff. Its worth the prices 100% read more

Slow service, General chicken not Spicy ask for spicy, crunchy California roll had spring mix in it and fell apart. Server Daniel never checked on us and it was not busy at all. Won't return and don't recommend. read more

Had lunch. I had a tempura Bento box which was delicious. We also had two sushi rolls. It was definitely worth the price as we got soup and salad with our lunch. I will definitely go back when I'm in Clermont Florida again. read more

Local Restaurant with over 10 years of satisfaction. We ate outside and had the Stuffed Mushrooms which were unique and so delicious. As well as the Fiery Dragon Roll read more

Akina - Fiery Dragon Roll - Asian Fusion Near Me - Clermont, Florida

Amazing service and the Mongolian beef was awesome. The honey chicken was above average and the spring rolls were fresh and home made.

My friend and I thought we would try this place out for the first time. I had the revolution sushi roll, that was delicious, very good. However, the Magnolia beef entree wasn't the best. I had more vegetables than meat and rice. It was really greasy and not at all enjoyable. I ordered it spicy and it was not even mild lol The customer service was good, the gentlemen who attended us was very helpful and nice. The environment was clean and spacious, It had like a romantic upscale setting to me. But you can still go in there casual. Prices: the prices were decent, nothing outrageous. Overall, I wouldn't really recommend only because the food was not tasty. Giving it 2 stars because the customer service was good though. read more

Great customer service from the hostess to our server Daniel. Atmosphere was relaxing and the food was amazing.

Akina has great quality food. Their sushi and General Tso's chicken are some of our favorites. Their lunch prices are great and there's always friendly staff each time we go. Also, the restaurant is very clean! read more

The service is very friendly & the vegan choices are great! My family enjoys the veggie sushi & veggies & noodles.

We were excited to try this out. It was a disappointment. Extremely expensive for the quality of rolls and was not good. More of an Asian fusion restaurant and popular items not tasting as expected and non authentic. read more

Food quality and serving size is still great. Prices have gone up about 15% and some of the non-food quality items have gone down. Like paper napkins replaced cloth....tables are wobbly and no longer have their shine. Just some little things that should not have diminished when prices go up. read more

Great lunch and service was outstanding I want to make sure to acknowledge how great the server Emily was. Made for a great experience. Thank you read more

Great food with friendly service the two times we've been in there. Bit pricey, but the quality is excellent. Great date night place or for lunch. They even have 'off menu' stuff that's available. read more

Well this is not our first time here, we've been here a few times and the food is overall really good, today we decided to order the Love boat, we thought it would be enough for two since it was $62. Well, the food tasted fine, but we feel as if we haven't eaten, we ended up ordering a separate roll for our 4 year old son which was $10, we ended up spending $80 on food that wasn't enough to feed one. Its incredible. read more

I called and they saved a table for me as I was just one person. That was extremely nice of them to do that and when I arrived and they had my table ready for me. This is my first time here and I am very very satisfied with not only the service but quality of the food and the selection as well. The tuna the salmon were big pieces and were very tasty, as well as a Seattle roll which had a spicy introduction with great flavor at the end. I wish I had someone else to come with me so we could have tried other things but I can only eat so much. LOL. But my recommendation is I will come back here again. If you're looking for a good place for sushi a great atmosphere and a very responsive and courteous staff, this is the place to go. I can't wait to bring my special sushi friend as well as a few others soon. I know they all would love it! read more

This was dinner on a whim and I'm glad we came across it. Sushi was tasty and friend rice had great flavor. They had a nice menu and prices were reasonable. We will be return customers. read more

Basically the only place I go to for sushi since every other place really doesn't stack up. They have a huge menu with all different types of rolls and the sushi chefs are pretty flexible. So they can make anything from a fancy roll to a simple hand roll. A hand roll with yellowtail is my fave. The temptation roll and hulk roll are awesome. This place makes decent sized rolls so you can get away with getting two and maybe an app. Recently been trying out the kitchen menu and definitely not disappointed. I know this sounds basic but the General Tso's chicken is a must try. Same with the eggplant shrimp. Probably the best calamari that I've ever had. I wouldn't get it to go though, best to eat it there since you can lose the crispness. This place can get pretty busy on the weekend so the earlier, the better. read more

We order sushi here all the time. Our favorite spot in Clermont. The fried rice is also bomb

I rarely post reviews but I think I need to for this restaurant. My husband and I visited this Wednesday night and our server, Luis, was so attentive and kind to us. Definitely the best server we've had at Akina :) We've eaten here before but not since the pandemic; we were pleasantly surprised at how busy they were on a Wednesday night but we couldn't tell by how fast our sushi and appetizers came out. Thank you for the amazing sushi and service! Will definitely be back. read more

Second time at Akina. The first time here the candy cane roll was amazing , tonight not as fresh tasting. the seafood soup is very good. nice size dinner salad. The crispy beef is awesome! My only complaint is that the restaurant doesn't look clean. The carpeting is worn and looks dirty. The tables and chairs are pretty beat up and the bathroom could have used some attention. read more

This was the best sushi restaurant in the area. Third time's a charm Went to two other places, but this had the freshest sushi and amazing chicken teruyuki. I had the Lighthouse Roll. Good, but Salmon Sashimi was excellent. Wine okay. Waitress cracked us up. Lots of fun. Will be back. read more

Just returned from our first visit to Akiira on US27, just south of Legends in Clermont. What a great selection of Asian treats! The food was plentiful, delicious, quickly served, and fresh. The service was excellent. Our server allowed substitutions (I wanted the side salad with ginger dressing as opposed to the seaweed and octopus salad). I had a Bento box for lunch and the portions were very generous along with being very tasty with a good variety of sushi. The potstickers were hot and delicious as an appetizer. There were no issues in using the coupon that I had. Drink refills were fast and the server was helpful as well as friendly and efficient. The decor was typical Asian restaurant themed, pleasant, and the place was clean. I am ready to make this my local Asian food stop. read more

I've been eating here for years. I ordered one chicken fried rice and I never even so disappointed in the taste of their food. The rice was watery and had no taste not even any salt. I cannot believe how this food tastes. Huge disappointment.. read more

Absolutely wonderful food. Especially the eggplant and shrimp dish! Fabulous sushi. Great service!

Foods pretty solid, but the prices are up there. If they delivered for that price it would be worth it!
