What People Are Saying About Akida Japanese

The Scene
Step inside this decorated doll house-sized room for instant Oriental ambiance. Red Chinese lanterns, colorful wall hangings and seven tiny tables create an intimate atmosphere for lunch or dinner. Best seats in the house? Sidle up to one of four bar stools and watch the chef prepare sushi on the spot. The clientele is eclectic, casual and comfortable with chopsticks.
The Food
This is authentic Japanese and sushi with a few recognizable old favorites (beef, chicken teriyaki and shrimp or vegetable tempura). Set lunch specials include miso soup, salad, California roll and rice ($7.95 range). Start with seven selections of Udon soups or head straight for the sushi. The hand-rolled sushi list is extensive and combo platters allow you to mix and match every conceivable combination. Stay authentic for dessert with green tea or cappuccino ice cream.

With all of the options available in the area, Akida's a nice find tucked away in a strip mall. Extensive menu with reasonable pricing. The sushi is hands down some of the best I've had in Virginia.

When a fellow sushi-lover recommended Akida's as the best place for sushi in Richmond, I was skeptical. I mean, the place is in a strip mall! Suffice it to say, I was really shocked at how good the sushi, the appetizers, the service - everything was wonderful. We have returned many, many times. The extremely reasonable pricing makes the deal even sweeter. Going to Akida's is a great experience - it is quiet, cozy, and and is always a pleasant experience.

I used to always go to Hana Zushi for the box lunches/sushi, recently the service and food has gone downhill. Akida on the othe hand is excellent! The sushi always tastes super fresh, the ginger dressing on the salad is the best i've ever had, and the miso soup is packed with lots seaweed and tofu. The service is speedy and friendly. Would recommend this place to any sushi lover. The Richmond Rolls tastes divine!
