The menu contains a variety of rice combo dishes that you can select (pork, chicken, beef, fois gras, curry) and a tempura noodle set as well. Occasionally, they also have specials as well. My boyfriend and I ordered the beef set and the tempura noodle set with pork. I love how there are a variety of side dishes that come with the set. This is great for those who like variety and want to have a complete meal with all the food groups. My favourite is definitely the pickled daikon/carrot and the cabbage salad! The food is not too salty and the broth was perfectly seasoned for my palate. My boyfriend also ordered an espresso romano which I had never tried before. The foam on top was surprisingly refreshing with a tart aftertaste of lime. The prices were also very fair with most sets averaging around $19-20 before tax. You order at the counter and pay after you're finished. This is a great place for a quick bite especially if you're in the Ironwood area of Richmond.

All the courses came with their own sides which was great! Salmon course 4.5/5 maybe it was me and I waited too long to eat so my salmon dried out a little bit the flavor was so good that I didn't mind. I normally hate overcooked salmon but I wouldn't say this was overcooked. Beef course 5/5 the egg was beautifully cooked. The beef was plentiful and I love the addition of the ginger. Udon soup 4.5/5 you get your choice of beef, pork or chicken. It comes with a side of tempura. It was good! Hot and fresh. I love that the temprua was not in the soup. Mango soda 3/5. Refreshing yes. But I expected it to be sweeter or have more mango flavour. Also, if you post a photo on social media, you get a free order of prawn tempura which was nice. Overall we had a great experience. Will definitely come back again!

WOW. 'Nuff said…read more The real question here is what did I NOT love about Akari? I was in the area with a friend and since I'm not too familiar with the sushi options in this area, I hopped on Yelp and Akari was the first one listed. After looking through their menu, we popped on over. They have officially re-opened for dine in, which is what we did. The tables have all been spaced to respect social distancing, there is a takeout/pick up area towards the front, and all the staff are wearing masks. They have an assortment of specialty rolls, nigiris, and other Japanese dishes on their menu. Honestly, everything looked delicious; I had such a hard time deciding what to get! I decided to go for the yam crunch roll (prawn, yam, tempura, cucumber, avocado, topped with yam tempura, sprinkled with spicy flakes) and hot night roll (prawn, yam tempura, avocado, cucumber topped with spicy tuna & tobiko). I LOVED both rolls so much. Each bite was jam packed with spice, sauce, and flavour. The rolls were only around $11-$13, which for what we got is extremely affordable. Rolls this size are usually $15+ at other restaurants. Between the prices, sushi quality, and friendly and great service, this place is one of my new favourite sushi spots. There's a reason that they've been voted best Japanese restaurant in this area. Definitely worth the trip out here. If you live in this area and have never been here - well here's your new neighbourhood sushi spot! Thanks for the awesome dining experience, Akari!

This is a perfect spot to go after you hit up the Ladner thrift shop (if you're my wife ). My kids love this spot. They have a little waiting nook with children's books (some "classic" Bearenstein Bears books! Yeah I spelled that right). The atmosphere is great, very much feels authentic. The food is pretty great - sushi was good, I prefer the spicy tuna over the salmon which was a little chewy. The friend chicken tower (got the name wrong) was really good, my kids loved that. Overall, we really like this spot. Highly recommend!!

The ambiance felt warm and well organized with comfortable seating and a nice setup that made it a pleasant place to relax and enjoy a meal. The food was good as well. I especially loved the mango avocado tempura rolls because they were light, crispy, and refreshing. The miso soup tasted comforting and flavorful, and the beef tataki bowl was also good. We ended up ordering quite a bit of food along with some sake and everything was served nicely. The only thing I did not enjoy as much was the veggie gyoza because the filling tasted a bit unusual to me. Overall, we had a pleasant experience dining here. It is very important for restaurants to maintain genuine pricing while continuing to serve quality food that makes customers want to come back again, and I hope they continue to maintain both their pricing and quality.

We were arriving on a ferry at about 730 at night on a Tuesday, and looking for somewhere close to…read morethe ferry terminal in Tsawwassen to grab something to eat. Searching on yelp for options, we found this little Japanese restaurant only 5-10 minutes away from the ferry terminal. It was nice to see that it was open later, I think until 930 and the restaurant itself is very welcoming and nice. We were quickly seated and all got menus for all four of us. The food options are great, I think I could tell that there was a strong Korean influence as there was Kim Chi, fried rice and a number of other Korean influenced options. We ordered quickly, including some edamame and spring rolls and everything. It came out fast and hot. The server was friendly. The place was nice. The seating was comfortable. The price was reasonable and can highly recommend you stop here. As a coincidence leaving out of the parking lot you can exit through the Tim Hortons and grab a coffee and a chocolate dipped doughnut to go.

I don't recall exactly what we ordered but it was a tuna roll of some sort and salmon sashimi - maybe the best I've ever had - and the shrimp tempura - not the best to get delivered as it comes cooled off and a bit soggy / not the restaurants fault of course. Just a reminder for me to not order that unless I'm in the restaurant. Oh we got a crab nigiri maybe - it was okay - needed something else on it. I'm not a huge fan of soy sauce so ate it plain and it wasn't overly exciting...

I was honestly going to leave if it wasn't for the guy trying to be accommodating as the lady which i'm pretty sure she is the owner wasn't even helping me take my order. I was on my lunch break too so I did not have enough time to just be waiting and waiting. On top of that there was only one customer there! As it's a small restaurant, I would not come back here because of the service and over priced.

The atmosphere here is quite nice. The decor is very Japanese. My chop scallop roll was quiet delicious. The Salmon Don was ok. The salmon was very thinly sliced. It wasn't like very filing. The thinly laid rice sat at the bottom of the bowl and then 8 thin sliced salmon on top. B said his sushi were good. He liked the gomae a lot. I don't think the salmon don was a good deal here. The salmon is too thinly sliced that there were hardly any flavor. B and I both agreed that the rice was too undercooked. Definitely need some improvement there. The restaurant is located in a stripmall so there were plenty of parking when we came. Prices were ok. portion size was ok as well. We really liked the tea here. Service was pretty good. I am sure we will be back.

The place looks spacious on the outside as it shares the building and is adjacent joining to the Browns Social House. But once inside you realize it's pretty small with only 6 dine in tables and more suitable as a takeout joint. We wanted to keep it simple and ordered a Sashimi Box and a Karaage Don. The Karaage Don's chicken didn't taste like it had really any solid chicken pieces in it and just comprised of mushed up pieces of chicken parts. Furthermore, it was paired up with a honey mustard sauce on the side which was odd and did not compliment the dish well, definitely had better. The Sashimi Box's contents were pretty big portions, but the Tuna Sashimi was not thawed properly before being served and it had a really strong fishy smell to it. At $26.95, it's overpriced by around $4.00 compared to it's competitors around town in addition to the subpar quality was a real downer. Plenty of free parking with 4 stalls right in front of the restaurant and throughout the strip mall.
