    Fried cheesecake after a couple of bites already gone.
    Timothy B.

    Tried their sister restaurant, Kanagawa in Mechanicsburg for lunch with my wife today. After hearing Akitas is owned by the same people and it's in Lemoyne, so a little closer to home, I brought the whole family back for dinner. Just like Kanagawa, this place is excellent and now the second good place for sushi we've finally found - after a year of trying places. For apps we had shrimp shumai dumplings and vegetable egg rolls (spring rolls). Tasty and quickly gone. With three kids and two adults, it only made sense to go for the party boat. It came with 4x soups or salads, 6x pieces of sashimi (we had 2x each tuna, salmon, and whitetail), 6x pieces of nigiri (2x each tuna, salmon, and red snapper), and 4x specialty rolls of our choice. The nigiri and sashimi disappeared first, and even my youngest ate more fish than she ever has. She usually just gets the cucumber roll, and did again tonight, but tried a lot of the fish because it was so good. The fish was all tender and delicious. We had 2x Terry Rolls (wife had one for lunch and liked it so much she got it again and talked one daughter into it also), one Queen Roll, and one Crazy Roll. All super tasty and eaten up. Finished off with one green tea ice cream and the fried cheesecake. Kids declared the ice cream the best they've had, and after reluctantly taking one bite of the cheesecake, they all tore into that as well. The only downside here is the prices are a bit higher than at Kanagawa, and some sushi with the same name at both places look like they actually have slightly different ingredients between the two restaurants. So just because you love a certain roll at one, you led better double check before ordering the same at the other. Otherwise, food was fantastic, service was great, and the restaurant was beautiful. Kids were super happy to have finally found good sushi again. Whoever owns these joints - thanks for two great sushi meals in the same day, and a happy family.

    First time here so I ordered the Lobster Roll & a California Roll the wife ordered Chicken Teriyaki with rice The Lobster Roll was delicious Fried lobster, cucumber, avocado the California Roll (Crab, Cucumber, & Avocado) Pretty quiet Sunday evening. Wait person extremely polite and very knowledgeable of the menu. Really enjoyed our first visit we'll definitely return.

    Kani Salad
    Timothy D.

    Hands down the best place for sushi in Central PA. The Kani salad is a great way to start. The Lemoyne roll never disappoints and the eel and tuna sushi are always fresh and tasty. Reservations are never needed. Come in and I promise you won't be disappointed!

    Sashimi for dinner tonight in the Harrisburg area, great and friendly service at Akitas where my order was taken promptly after I was seated. My salad arrived right after and then my sashimi dinner. Speedy but not rushed. The Kani Salad was excellent, with spicy crab, cucumber and a little bit of mayo. Just a little hint of spice and a lot of flavor, it was awesome and I really wanted more. But then my plate of sashimi arrived. Twelve quite large pieces of fish including tuna and salmon, it was delicious and I enjoyed every bite. I liked Akitas. Good fish at a decent price. Nice and friendly.

    In his menu different than online menu
    Terry M.

    Ordered 2 piece sushi, and lo mein. The lo mein I ordered with 2 less ingredients but they charged me extra for that. I was so focused on that, I didn't even notice they charged me for the spicy tuna roll when I only order a 2 piece spicy tuna. They do shady stuff there. Somewhere in small print it says that changes to menu items had an additional charge but as per the law, it wasn't clear and obvious and want listed with the specific menu item. The place used to be good but this post time the food was mediocre and the service was horrible. Went back and asked to see the menu so I could show what I orded and and what they charged since they're online menu doesn't have the different quantity options for a la carte.

    Spider roll
    Warren N.

    Wow! I have driven by here a thousand times. Tonight, I was so hungry for something different so I thought lets do this. I had the miso soup, spider roll, and steak habachi and it was delicious. I will now be adding them into my food rotation. Highly recommend. I am looking forward to enjoying more of their menu.

    PARKING SUCKS and bring a sweater but I love this place! Staff is always nice! Bathrooms and tables always clean! Food is always great! I have been here with family, friends, work lunches and more! This is a great place to grab a roll or have a fill dinner!

    Had dinner here on Friday night with some family. The staff was friendly and helpful. Everything we ate was fantastic! From the appetizers to the main course, everything was great and presented well. If you're looking for great sushi, you should give them a try.

    Chicken hibachi with fried rice
    Kristina G.

    Based on my first experience, this will likely be my last. We placed a large pick up order for the office and were excited for some hibachi because we love it! The food was ready when I arrived but I wanted to add a soda. She told me to grab a can. ($1.50 ouch!) Oh well. So I asked her for a to go cup for it. She said, "To go cup?" and then I said, "Yes please". She then rung me up and told me to have a nice day. So then I said "Thank you, oh can I have a to go cup please?" and then she goes" "To go cup?" and I said "yes please, for my soda" And she said "Oh sure". Then she put forks in my bag and said "Have a nice day". So I stood there and she goes "I said, have a nice day!" I said "Well, could I have a to go cup please?" and then she got it for me. Anyway that's not why my review is 2 stars. One of us ordered chicken teryaki and one of us ordered chicken hibachi. They were both the same. And if you look at my picture it doesn't look like hibachi at all. The chicken was chewy and overcooked...definitely a dark meat variety. It was also VERY salty. Couldn't do it. The rice was boring and and there were not enough veggies. I don't know what they were trying to do here but it was not good at all. Don't see the need to return.

    Fresh sushi and the cutest, coziest ambience. I loved everything I've tried there and I've been going for the past decade.

    How fast is their lunch service? I was thinking of taking my friends there for lunch but we have 45 mins max.

    They are pretty quick.

    We ate here today for the first time. Everything was phenomenal! I highly recommend the rolls with…read morethe crab salad on top of them. Literally the best sushi we ever had and we eat sushi often. Our waiter was very friendly and on top of our drinks and needs. We will be back again soon!

    Whilst returning home from an event in Harrisburg, I found myself hungry and in the mood to eat…read more Happily, Takashi was a mere 0.1 miles away, so I made the turn in and backed into my spot. There were probably 8 to 10 spots out front in their parking lot as well as street parking. Upon entering I was immediately greeted, seated, and handed a menu.(pictures included). There was a large selection of sushi, however I decided upon the salmon teriyaki. I chose a diet cola as my beverage, not being in the mood for hot or sweet tea, etc. My order arrived on a sizzling platter within 10 minutes. On the table was soy sauce and low sodium soy sauce which was what I used on my white rice. The salmon was accompanied with onions, sliced carrots, and broccoli, and everything was delicious (Photo included in my accompanying pics). The restaurant was clean, reasonably quiet, not excessively busy during my time there, and with an active take out service in action. The photo of my tab is includes. Overall, a pleasant dining experience with great service and food!
