My spouse and I have been coming to this place for 5 years! It’s our go-to hibachi in Manassas. Unfortunately, things are taking a turn here. This is my 3rd bad experience with Akasaka! I keep returning because I made up in my mind that each of the 3 times have just been “off days” but this time I picked food up and specifically asked for “NO AVACADO, NO CUCUMBER, NO SESAME SEEDS” I get all the way home and settled in to find avacado in my sushi!!!!! I drove back to Akasaka the manager remade it but when asked for some sort of additional compensation she was struggling to accommodate and after going back and forth she said she’ll do something free next visit. After driving back home I decided I can no longer patronize because in the past we have never had an issue paying for food, waiting for food or anything of that nature! The fact that depending on how severe the allergy is you can put someone in the hospital for not one time but twice giving an item I am allergic to and handing it so lightly is crazy in my opinion!

Amazing Staff & Food. Its a bit pricey but definitely worth it.
The lobster and shrimp dinner was excellent and the shrimp and steak was just as good. The people who work there are super friendly. Will definitely be back and recommend this place to eat at. The prices are on the expensive side but again definitely worth it!

This was my first time here, and my husband and I really enjoyed our hibachi. Everything was great ?
Just do yourself a favor. Before you go to a 'Japanese' restaurant and try to order ramen, ask if the restaurant is owned by Korean. A real Japanese ramen is a very complicated and delicate dish. It takes special attention from broth to the noodle from the chef. But a Korean ramen is just fast noodle that's going to cost you 20 times the same stuff from supermarket. Plus, instead of using fresh shrimp, they use frozen cooked shrimp. The 1 star is for the restaurant decorations.

We had a birthday dinner for my granddaughter with 8 guests including the birthday girl. The cooking show performed by the chef was impressive. However, since the group was large the food was over cooked and small portions compared to the price. I ordered my steak medium rare that ended up well done since all the steak cubes were cooked together and mine was tough and well done. In summary all the food dried out and over cooked. The thing that grabbed me was the almost $600 bill that included an $82, 20% tip. Since the food preparation was an issue for not just me but in addition to other guests, I requested the tip be lowered to 15% which was denied due to the party size. Also, due to the my granddaughters birthday they sang a birthday song and presented her with a scoop of ice cream with chocolate sauce and charged us $4.95. Most restaurants provide a birthday dessert at no charge, not here and they didn't even ask if we wanted the birthday dessert. I would think after spending more than $500 they could give a child a scoop of ice cream. Since everything is cooked all at once it ends up dried out and overcooked. Due to ice cream charge these folks will nickel and dime you death. Also, the high end price charged the quality of the meat is not what would be expected.
Christian is the best server here. he's very kind and took care of us so well. the food is perfect and the chef is so good and friendly. I love it here.100% recommend having dinner with your family

Walked in and was told to sit anywhere I'm expecting somebody to come and take orders for drinks within a few minutes. Nothing happened until I walked up to somebody. 20 minutes later after we have already chose our sushi. The soy sauce bowls at our table have been previously used and still had dried rice inside after an hour to get our food we got around $100 worth of sushi for 2 people we were very disappointed with the quality of food the rice for all pieces of sushi was dry and under cooked and was not real sushi rice I have eaten thousands of dollars worth of sushi and by far this place is the worst I have ever Been too will NEVER go here again and will NOT recommend to anyone I know that likes sushi

Ordered chicken hibachi and 3 rolls for take out. Food was ready when I arrived but had to wait a couple extra minutes for them to bag everything and go to the back to other items. ToGo Chicken hibachi was not worth the money- chicken was dry and cut super small, barely any rice but veggies css so were decent. ToGo sushi rolls was still super good. Chewbacca roll, rockstar roll and tres amigos roll were priced respectively for how large each roll was and ingredients were fresh.

Everything I tried from this place was really good! Both rolls were delicious!! One roll was mildly spicy and fried the seaweed so it was crunchy? The other roll had eel, and I can tell the fish used were super fresh. I also recommend the hibachi steak and shrimp with fried rice!! They also give you sauce so you can dip the hibachi :))Overall experience was great as well. Customer service was excellent with the waiter constantly checking in with us and was super nice. An entertainment from the fire performance was a bonus fun!! Highly recommend to visit this place for birthdays as well because they sing and give a balloon crown to the birthday person.
