I own a Tattoo Studio right next door to Akari Express and eat at their establishment EVERY day. Literally! Jean and all her staff are always extremely friendly and you can tell that they take great pride in their food. I opened in August of 09' and i haven't got the slightest bit tired of their food.
When you eat their food it is obvious that they do not use sub-par ingredients. I have yet to eat a piece of meat that has had ANY fat on it. Nothing there is EVER frozen, their vegetables are always fresh, and they make all of their own sauces (which are wayyy better than Kanki's)!
The best thing is that the food is very authentic, which i think is important when i eat food from another culture. It's like saying ""i want Mexican food"" and getting Taco Bell. That is totally not the case with Akari.
I've seen that some people have submitted negative reviews and i can tell you from personal DAILY experience that is definitely not the norm!! Akari is under new management now, same staff for the most part and nothing on their menu has changed.
Jean, the new owner, is one of the nicest ladies i have met and i am very glad to have her as a neighbor and a friend. The Chef there is AMAZING he takes what he does very seriously. He is professionally trained and perfectly cooks all his meat.
Another GREAT thing about Akari is they do not cross contaminate at all. I have a severe allergy to shrimp (so bad that i cant even TOUCH it) and i have yet to have a reaction from anything i have ever ate there.
If you are in the area and feel like eating some great food i would definitely tell you to check them out. I wouldn't send my own customers there if it wasn't great!
Pros: Quality Ingredient, Awesome Pricing, Friendly Service
Cons: NONE!!!
