A very popular sushi restaurant! Came here with my cousin for dinner to try and branch out from our usual spots. The sushi was tasty and they have tons of options. It was very busy the day we went but they have a lot of seating to accommodate. The staff were nice and the restaurant definitely has a high busy kind of energy to it from the decor to how many people were there. Have only been here the one time, so I want to come back to try some other options. The roll I got (sorry can’t remember the name) had fresh sliced lemon on top which I love. We did get one roll that had cream cheese in it and it honestly was too much cream cheese that we poked it out. Would come back!

Walked down from my house for the first time. Had the fried port cutlet over rice with sauce and egg. Aka Katsu Don. It was amazing! So much food for the price! I ate about 2/3rds of it and took the rest home for a snack the next day. The service was prompt and the draft Japanese beer was perfect! Definitely going into my restaurant rotation. If you need to seat a larger group, there's a side room behind the bank where you can have up to several dozen people be served at once. I would suggest looking / calling ahead before your large party arrives. Also a full on Sushi Bar as well with bar seating.

I'm always pleasantly surprised when I get a meal here. The restaurant is fairly close to the house and I see it whenever I go to the Japanese bakery just outside. But I tend to stop in only when we want to grab a good meal but feel a bit rushed. So we pick Akebono because we can get there quickly. So we end up coming here, order our food, and then have a very good meal. Typically this is for lunch so I really recommend the bento boxes. The tempura I had last time was excellent and the sushi is very good. I also recommend their beef teriyaki. The meals are a great deal and come with plenty of food. The staff is always friendly and service is quick. The restaurant is large so there's rarely any waiting, and plenty of parking. Highly recommended.
