New Haven Restaurant Guide

Excellent Sushi, I go often and am never let down. Service is great, staff is very friendly. A great place to bring your family or friends. Clean and nicely decorated.

Akasaka is a run of the mill Japanese Restaurant. If you want a cucumber or a tuna roll than this place is fine, but don't expect high quality or artistry.

Akasaka makes very good Japanese food in a beautiful restaurant decorated with lots of mahogony. It is the winner of a Connecticut Magazine Award for "best Japanese Restaurant". I go there often because they do a wonderful job and I live near by. But I must mention (only to be honest) that the best Japanese food I have ever had is at Miya's Sushi in downtown New Haven where the food is pure culinary magic. But Akasaka is worth going to and I highly recommend it. You will always leave satisfied here.

Akasaka is good but the best Japanese restaurant in Connecticut, by a long shot, is the cultishly famed fusion Asian restaurant Miya's Sushi in New Haven. The genius behind Miya's is their eccentric young chef/owner Bun Lai who has created one of the most ambitiously original menus that we have ever seen. Try the wabisabi salmon with wild grape leaves, salmon, aspargus and seaweed infused olive oil. If you would like traditional sushi, by all means go to Akasaka. But if you would like a ulinary experience go to Miya's.

run by a malaysian staff pretending to be japanese. very run of the mill food.

The best sushi I have had in the world. Very fresh and always satisfying.

I recommend this restaurant for it's great Sushi
maid fresh and serve to your table.
I recommend to sit on the bar and enjoy the
excitement of watching the chef making your Sushi.
I've tried other dishes, but for me - Sushi.
