We have been coming here for a good while, always loved coming. Good food, good atmosphere and…read moremajority of the time great customer service. Except this time. My partner and I walked in looking forward to everything, once we had been sat down by the hostess we were ignored by our waitress Cheyenne. She didn't greet us for almost 10 minutes and our hostess even got us our waters and apologized for the time she had been taking so long. Once she got our order moments afterwards another 10-15 minutes go by until we got our delicious food (served yet again by our hostess and not the waitress.) but during that time our waitress was happily serving the other guests and got their drinks before us. While we were eating our food, I noticed she didn't bother to stop by our table to see how we were doing or ask about our food. She went to the other tables she had and asked them, got them refills and other things they have mentioned. I tried to make eye contact but she would ignore my eyes when we locked, even eyeballed our table and still didn't talk to us. Towards the end I noticed the hostess and our waitress talking and looking at us (assuming the hostess said something to her about us being finished with our food.) She then came to our table saying "I see you guys are full, here are your double deep fried Oreos" and passes off the check. When we gave her the card to pay for she then realized she had forgotten our drinks. which I do appreciate she comped our appetizer, gave us a discount and then made my drink (not her but yet again the hostess.) Did not appreciate the baby talk when she was talking though saying "I am so sowy" and etc. I don't know if this was intentional or not but this was an upsetting experience.

Having been to many Ramen restaurants, I didn't expect much from Hokkaido in central Omaha. Upon…read moreentering, we were quickly seated. We enjoyed the upbeat music and the Japanese decor; some of items can be purchased. We started out with the Takoyaki (Octopus) appetizer and was pleasantly surprised, it had the right amount of outside crispiness and softness inside; 5 out of 5 stars. I then had the garlic tonkatsu with 2 slices of pork chashu, marinated egg, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, scallions, garlic flakes, and nori (seaweed) paper. The base and noodles was good but the meat was hard and not melts in your mouth soft. The noodles wasn't freshly made and I chewed on a solid ramen clump. My star rating is based on the inland location or it'd be 3 stars in other states. Tip: They offer Military discount.

My favorite Ramen spot ever, especially on rainy days. My husband gets the Tonkotsu Ramen, and I…read moreget the Tan Tan Ramen, each with Ni-Tamago. I rarely see a Tan Tan Ramen on menus. Be prepared to wait for your food. Good ramen is made to order, so it is not immediately served. If the restaurant is busy, be prepared to wait even longer, but it is worth the wait. The price is incredibly reasonable considering lower quality ramen in the Omaha area is charging upwards of $17 dollars a bowl. The Kara-Age is delicious, and even the spicy tuna roll (a guilty pleasure of mine) is good. The Ambiance is simple and clean. I would recommend it to anyone wanting quality ramen without all the Anime themes and dusty Tchotchkes littering every wall.

Food came out fast. The servers did a great job! Alcohol: Ume old fashion A peach of my heart Entrees: Mongolian beef plate Spicy miso with additional chicken The spicy miso was a bit too spicy for me, but I would recommend if you like spicier things. The Mongolian beef plate was savory and beef was flavorful.

This location is probably my favorite Ika location. We've gone here a few times now and each time…read morehas been delicious. We've gone with friends and on our own and there's always been a table ready pretty quickly and servers ready to get our orders. We recently went to dinner here and we were both hungry and eager for some Ramen. I ordered the Blackstone Tonk with an egg and my boyfriend ordered the Spicy Miso with extra noodles. The broth for mine was rich, flavorful, and warm. The pork was perfectly tender and the egg added texture and more flavor for me. My boyfriend is always happy with a little spicy heat in his meals and he was pleased with his choice. He may have added a little more spice but that's just because he's evolved his tastebuds to handle it. Anytime we decide to come to this Ika I know that the food and service will be consistent. The servers are always on point in checking on you, our waters were refilled a few times, and they never seem like they are rushing us out the door. On a different note, I also appreciate the decor and atmosphere in this location. The old brick walls and open space feels as though, and there probably is, a lot of history within the walls. Tucked away down an alley, this location is easy to miss but absolutely worth a try!

I'm in Omaha for a conference and wandered over to Akarui for a light bite between lunch and dinner, right around happy hour. I can say without hesitation that I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. The quality of the fish was outstanding. I also had the pleasure of chatting with Sunny, one of the owners, who was absolutely delightful. She shared the story of how she and her husband moved from Brooklyn and opened the restaurant five years ago. She explained that they receive fresh fish deliveries twice a week, and it absolutely shows. Everything I ordered was phenomenal. Fresh, beautifully prepared, and every bite exceeded my expectations. If you're in Omaha and craving sushi, this place is well worth the visit. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

I went with a friend and got the salmon rice bowl, WOW was it good!! Way better than their ramen, it was great fish, a bit of spice, SUPER crisp cucumbers, and fresh bok choy. The service was quick, they took their time preparing the food fresh and it showed. The new canned cocktail they have, 1/2 lemonade and 1/2 tea, was PHENOMENAL! It's a casual spot but if you want to go in for a nice dinner or lunch with your friends, no one will look at you funny for dressing up!

Cilantro broth is both fresh and hearty at the same time. I love how accommodating they are with the dictionary for terms on the menu and a readiness to swap out ingredients to accommodate my vegetarian preferences. The spicy edamame had a true kick to it! Also, you must check out the sake bar underneath the restaurant in the evenings. Small and personal it fits right alongside Ika's vibe and includes some new cocktails.

Our waitress was super kind and attentive. Poor girl was running the bar and restaurant by herself, and was a rockstar. The food was overall ok. The tuna itself was fresh and overall was pretty tasty. The downside of the dish was that it did feel a bit one note. I'm sure it would have been better with the eel sauce, but I unfortunately couldn't have that. I honestly wish there was cucumber in it for some texture variation. It was also pretty spicy, but not so bad that I couldn't tolerate it. Overall, definitely a good place to stop by for a fresh and tasty lunch at village pointe!

My coworker and I were visiting from out of town and wanted to find something delicious and fresh…read more We were impressed by the menu, but were extremely disappointed by our entire experience. We ordered take out and when we entered the restaurant we waited at the front desk as the sign suggested. The waitress and kitchen staff all looked at us several times, but never acknowledged us being there. Not even a "we will be right with you" After 10 min the server came and acted annoyed that we were there and we explained we had a to go order. She told us to go "just get it" as if we knew we should step into the kitchen area and look for it. We found our bag and all items but one on the order had a check mark on the receipt, so we decided to open the bag to see if everything was inside. The server came up to us and scolded us for opening it, saying that she had packed it herself and included everything. We explained our reasoning and she said "I was too busy to put a check mark" WHAT?! There were literally 2, 4 tops in the ENTIRE restaurant. She was SO rude. I have worked in the service industry and I understand being swamped, but this was not one of those situations. We left with our food and decided to ignore the terrible service, however when we started to open the boxes of food we came to find out the quality matched the service. Slopped together, poorly seasoned... just NOT good. The spicy dishes were unbearable... and I like spicy. The other dishes had zero taste. It was such a shame. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
