The most extraordinary turkey sandwich I can recall partaking in. I can't believe that I'm in a…read moresmall Colorado town, where often, mediocre food is the rule, and burgers are typically the only item most restaurants are capable of mustering. This sandwich is truly epic. The wheat bread is from a local bakery. Instead of it being toasted in a perfunctory, afterthought manner, it is thoroughly toasted right at the point of the wheat kernels cracking, engendering the goodness only wheat can provide. The bacon is properly cooked, with no hint of undercooked slime present. The green chili tastes as though it was brought here this morning from Hatch, with the whole of the ingredients being uniquely fresh. Finally, the sriracha mayo sauce provides just the right presence of spice, uniquely accenting the green chili. Turkey itself is great, but I confess, is so overshadowed by the excellence present throughout the sandwich, that it hardly occupies the center stage. On another note, a definite problem here is that the water glass conveying a distinct taste of soap residue. It's bad. This happened the last time that I was here, as well. I did tell the owner about this today. Pricing is just right and seating can be awkward at times. I look forward to returning.

Been meaning to come here for a while and so glad we finally did. We ordered the "I Love Mango" poke bowl, Tonkotsu Ramen, gyoza, and sushi, and every single dish was outstanding. There wasn't a bite left on the table. The poke was incredibly fresh and flavorful, the ramen was rich and comforting, the gyoza were perfectly cooked, and the sushi was excellent. What really made the experience even better was the staff. Everyone was genuinely warm, welcoming, and happy to help, creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Durango has a hidden gem, and Akami deserves every bit of the praise. We'll absolutely be back.

INCREDIBLE!!!! Mike,…read morethe bartender, took wonderful care of us. He has great energy, is incredibly accommodating, and couldn't have been friendlier. We started with the carpaccio, which we almost always order when a restaurant offers it. And we were completely blown away. This was, without question, the best carpaccio we have ever had. Seriously -- the best. It was the surprise of the entire dining experience. That's not to say the dishes that followed were anything less than spectacular. The puttanesca, lasagna, and affogato were all excellent in their own right. But the true star of the evening was the carpaccio. If you go, do yourself a favor and order it. You will not regret it.

Halfway through our salad they seated a male right next to my husband. The rest of the bar area was open and all the booths along the wall were open as well. The man was filthy dirty and the odor from him filled the room. His hands had blood on them too. He kept mumbling and laughing and when the bartender tried to take his order he was having a difficult time understanding him. My husband got up to go to address the situation and the man proceeded to show me his teeth and growling at me. This behavior completely changed the direction of our evening and hopes for a nice experience for dinner. The restaurant wanted us to make changes rather than the man disrupting the evening. We decided to leave and dine elsewhere. The restaurant made zero efforts to accommodate this unfortunate time for us on our vacation. Empathy for someone is not lost on me, but lack of respect for us was certainly lost on the management here! Save yourself the time and find an alternate place to patronize when in Durango!

Though if you ask them, they will make it extra spicey just for you. So Pad Thia is not my favorite dish, too much peanut flavor not enough vegetables. But if you like pad thia I hear it is good here. I prefer Pad Se-iw. It has the same noodle base, but includes an assortment of veggies and a different sauce, it is hearty and filling. I also love thier soups on a cold day or if I am feeling under the weather. The Tom Kha Gai, is a coconut milk based soup with a lemon grass flavor, creating a creamy and slightly spicey soup. If a creamy soup isn't for you, I also like the Guay Tiaw. It's a brothy soup that has a bit more of a kick, I love this soup and it's something different yet familiar. The soups here definitely fall into the comfort food category for me, even though I didn't grow up with Thia food. So for me this is a "to go" place. I call my order in, yes thier menu is online, then I go get it. My order is usually ready when I get there and this is super convenient.
