Akafuji is a modern and inviting restaurant that offers both dine-in and takeout options. The interior is clean and simple, with most seating at the sushi bar for a full omakase experience. Outdoor seating is available for those who want to bring their pets, creating a casual and cozy atmosphere. The restaurant is known for its fresh, premium sushi and Japanese dishes, with a focus on carefully crafted nigiri and unique rolls.
The omakase special ($50) includes 8 premium nigiri pieces and a blue crab handroll, served with miso soup, salad, and chawanmushi. Each nigiri is beautifully decorated and flavorful, often delicious without soy sauce. The restaurant also features a la carte options like the Blue Ocean roll, with bluefin tuna and blue crab, and the Fusion Toro roll, with tuna in a yuzu mustard sauce. The sushi rice is perfectly balanced, and the tempura is well-presented.
Takeout choices include katsu curry bowls, fried calamari, and California rolls, all at reasonable prices for a filling meal. The curry and rolls are highly recommended. Service is attentive and quick, and the staff always check on guests to ensure a pleasant experience. Many customers enjoy trying their pieces with black salt, which adds a special touch to the tasting.
Overall, Akafuji is an underrated spot for excellent sushi and Japanese dishes, offering a modern ambiance and a good value for the quality of food and service. The restaurant’s friendly staff and chef’s attention to detail make it a memorable place for special occasions or casual dining.
