• Not a good value for the money.

• A nice place to eat.
• I think a bit over priced and the owner has no sense of good business.

“It was a pleasant late evening meal on my birthday until I presented for partial payment a "San Diego 100 restaurant" card I had received as a gift and the trouble began. Not true. She brought out the large bartender as protection and refused to accept the card as $50 toward the bill. I finally left two $20s with her and we agreed I would return to settle the bill with the owner. When I returned, an owner (a short surly man) didn't want to discuss the matter of change for what I had left. He threatened to call the police if I didn't leave. I didn't leave. Then he wanted to know how much I wanted to leave as a gratuity. I told him that was none of his business. He kept arguing (the amount of gratuity rapidly diminished in my mind). Finally he got my change from his office and gave it to me. He told me never to come back. A woman stepped up from the side and said she was an owner and could we discuss the matter at a quiet sidewalk table. We did and I explained to her just what had happened on the evening of our dining there. The male owner had been busy taking care of some customers but he came out and insisted on breaking up the conversation, refusing to go back inside until the lady I was talking with went with him. Obviously she was not an owner of much standing. Strange how a small thing can ruin our memory of a pleasant meal.”

• Ambiance.
• Old food and health risks!

“Ate there a few months ago, food tasted like it was old and dried out. Went there tonight and was served a meal with a cooked cockroach/water bug type Beatles in with the food. With all the dangers of cheap seafood coming from china, I say please people think twice about eating at this establishment for your and your family's sake.”

• Great atmosphere, and enthusiastic staff and fellow diners.
• Sometimes the wait for a table is a little long - proves that the food is good!

“Akita has great food. Sushi, sashimi, and cooked dishes. My personal favorite is the ginger beef. If you want a really cool experience, they have a little room in the back of the restaurant with low tables and you can dine "Japanese style". Leave your shoes at the steps, take a seat on the (actually quite comfortable) cushions on the floor, and enjoy! The staff is very friendly and helpful. I've never had an unknowable dinner at this restaurant.”
