We went recently and got both hibachi and sushi, and honestly, everything was on point. The sushi tasted super fresh and well-made, and the hibachi was awesome--huge portions, great flavor, and just fun to watch them make it.

We'll definitely be back

We have been coming here for years and when my son was younger this was the place he wanted to go to for his birthday celebrations. Sumo offers a lunchtime special Monday through Saturday until 3pm. Prices during lunch are cheaper and they offer Sushi Rolls Specials (2or3 roll specials) as well as hibachi. Special comes with soup and salad which is an added plus. For a lunch special portion sizes are generous wish I could say I leave with leftovers but my son usually snaps them up. Truly a great place for lunch !!!

There were a few positives to our meal. The gyoza that came with my bento box was good, and I also enjoyed the California roll. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was disappointing. The chicken tempura was particularly underwhelming. It included only two small pieces of chicken, while the majority of the dish consisted of vegetables. The batter was extremely greasy, and the vegetables were soaked with oil to the point that it was dripping off them. Service was also lacking. Our server did not return to check on our table during the meal or offer beverage refills, which left us feeling overlooked. To make matters worse, I felt quite ill shortly after leaving the restaurant. While I cannot say with certainty what caused it, it certainly did not leave me with a favorable impression of the experience. Based on the food quality and service we received, I would not recommend this restaurant and do not plan to return.

The staff were incredibly friendly and efficient. We got there at 2:25 and the said last order while be 2:40, to make sure we wanted to stay. We meant to get there at 2:05 but we had am unplanned bathroom break on our way from Buffalo. The food came out VERY FAST. I've never seen anything like it. Maybe we were the only ones still ordering but even so, very fast. A server writes down the order on a pad, no sheets to fill or tablets. She reminded us we would be charged for uneaten food but the kids assured us they could eat everything. Other than a mistake roll (I think we were given a rainbow instead of an eel) they demolished the food. The only thing that would make it better would be Inari. It's a staple for vegans and vegetarians, but I still came out ahead with my sweet potato tempura hand rolls, avocado hand rolls, seaweed sala, and miso soup. Everyone loved the French fries, which is not the norm for AYCE sushi. Kids also loved the chicken nuggets, shrimp tempura, crab Rangoon, yakisoba noodles, and steak hibachi. Steak looked freshly cooked and not overdone. The kids ordered 5 or 6 different rolls and liked them all. Cannot say enough about how lovely and gracious the staff was, even after closing when we were clearly cutting into their break before the dinner shift.

The fish on the nigiri is sliced very thinly and I'm not too surprised as it's AYCE but just keep in mind the ratio leans heavy on the rice. Sashimi is also NOT included in the AYCE price and I believe it's $1 or so per sashimi piece so they do try to fill you up with the sushi rice. I'm not really a roll person, I prefer nigri and raw fish for my sushi cravings. That being said, Akina is very affordable for AYCE The service is good, I don't think the wait is incredibly long. Usually we only wait about 20 mins or so. They do have high chairs and the bathrooms are clean. Parking is fine too, they're in a plaza so there is parking but sometimes it can get pretty full there. I would recommend eating at Akina if you're in the mood for AYCE sushi in Cuse.

Definitely the only place where I've actually enjoyed the sushi. My 5 stars overall is for our server (a petite woman with curly hair). My daughter has a lot of food allergies so eating out with her is tricky. We found a noodle mixed in her edamame (she has a known anaphylaxis to wheat) and informed our server. At this point, we'd already paid the bill and didn't think anything would change. We simply wanted to inform her what happened. She immediately replaced our daughter's order of plain white rice and edamame, packed it to go, and apologized profusely for it. I was so impressed - I wished all servers handled my daughter's food allergies seriously and graciously like that without making her feel self-conscious. I'd return again for such service alone. On to our food.. I really enjoyed my soft shell crab. It was extra crisp and the crab itself super flavorful. Dismayed that they didn't have takoyaki the day we came. I bet they make it great as well. Husband enjoyed the pork buns. As aforementioned, sushi is the best quality we've had in the area so far. I will say reviews that note the high amount of rice in the nigiri and maki have some merit. Nigiri was two bites per piece for me and I struggled even holding a piece of maki. Size isn't necessarily a complaint. Just thought it was noteworthy. I liked how the tempura in the bamboo roll was actually crispy. Price point seems fair for the area. Only actual complaint is there was an uncomfortable delay between receiving our appetizers and the rest of our food. But nothing major that would keep us from returning. There's now a 4% additional charge to use a credit or debit card.
