I've been ordering from Akami for 9 years. The food is always good and fresh. the delivery people are always so sweet!

I've done takeout here a few times and have had no complaints.

I live close to this restaurant. I highly recommend going there and having the food. When you order food it doesn’t look and taste the same as it would when freshly prepared and served. Excellent lunch specials. Honestly the best japanese lunch specials in Manhattan.

I love Akami because they offer the highest quality sushi possible for the money you pay. I don’t usually eat at the restaurant, but every order I pick up is perfect and ready on time.

This place is my go-to sushi place. Their fish is so fresh and their service is amazing! The prices are fantastic, especially the three roll lunch special. Three rolls, soup AND salad for $16. Their ginger dressing is INCREDIBLE!

This place almost never seems busy but we finally tried it and WOW it was fantastic! I particularly loved the Akami Sashimi Rolls they offer (in both 5 and 10-piece varieties) which are special rolls without any rice. I’d never seen anything like that before and it was an awesome and delicious way to have a sushi roll without all of the carbs of the rice. Will 100% go back!

Great little sushi and Japanese restaurant. They offer a fantastic lunch deal for $10.95 where you get soup, salad and a bento box with your choice of protein, rice, dumplings and a small sushi roll. Service was fast and polite.

Great sushi!! We ordered here late one night, the food came on time, the restaurant gave us an extra roll and the fish was so fresh. Just moved to the area and I think I found my go-to spot for takeout sushi. Would definitely recommend.

We have ordered here many times and every time we are blown away. The fish is so fresh. My family and I are avid sushi eaters - this is genuinely a hidden gem in NYC. And the price! You can't beat it. Honestly delicious and amazing. One of our favorites.

The food was amazing from the sushi we ordered to the veggie rice. Everything tasted Fresh and Vibrant, and then to top it off the Dessert was phenomenal. I really enjoyed this place and will definitely be ordering from here again. Delivery was also on time. And the order was correct. My new sushi spot for sure

Ordered through the website and my lunch special was delivered within 30 minutes. Good quality fish and I’ll be happy to order again.

I ordered the shrimp bento box. The shrimp looked like it was seasoned but really needed more flavor. I really wanted to add salt. Same for the tempura. Sushi was pretty good as was the salad and soup. Portions were good. I expected more. Oh well. Service was great though.

Came for a quick lunch as it is right around the corner from my hotel. Nigiri and sushi roll were bland. Miso soup was also quite lacking. Fish was definitely not as fresh as I would expect at a sushi restaurant. Wegman's to go has fresher fish. Rice was dry/hard.

Cheap sushi, get what you pay for. The food is cheap, but it also tastes cheap too. Sushi left a weird taste in my mouth, and I suspect that the fish wasn't fresh.

Ordered food from here today and I am not sure if they were having a bad day or it was just me, the fish was off and I mean literally off, the seaweed was tough as leather. I have no idea why and the whole thing tasted rancid. even the rice tasted weird, I Literally took apart 1 roll and tasted everything individually to make sure, I was not going mad. I am not sure what happened but if you are thinking of ordering might wanna save your wallet. P.S There are a lot of good reviews online for them so I honestly believe it was a mistake and a bad day but they are never seeing a dollar of mine again ........ The two missing rolls are the one I ate and threw up and the one I took apart

I don’t write reviews often, but this place made me so sick. I got the lunch special from here. It tasted okay, but I couldn’t finish it - it was too chewy and salty. Within a few hours I was so violently ill I couldn’t keep water down. I was sick all night and it took over 12 hours for me to be able to drink water again. It’s been almost 24 hours and I still haven’t graduated to food. I do not remember ever being this sick from food before - seriously concerned about the health and safety of the kitchen here. I didn’t even get anything raw.

Waited more than 20 minutes for food. Salmon rolls are weirdly sweet. Chicken is overcooked. Too much jalapeno in teriyaki.
