Welcomed by Jasmine on our arrival and promptly seated, despite the fact we were early! Jasmine and Kelly took very good care of us throughout, which was great because we had no idea what we were doing! Jasmine was able to advise on dishes and beverages which was really helpful. Food and drinks arrived promptly, and the food was perfectly cooked, looked fabulous and tasted delicious. Prices were reasonable and the menu has a good selection to suit most people. Highly recommended!

Went for the first time on Saturday night. Service was prompt without rushing us and the staff were very friendly. The restaurant wasn't packed but was probably 3/4 full by the end of the evening. The food we ordered was lovely - we had starters including the soft shell crab and chicken gyoza. My main was eel in Teriyaki sauce, which was well-cooked, piping hot and well-presented. All in all, I couldn't fault it. We all had a lovely evening and are planning another visit, to sample some of their Korean dishes.

I visited Akasaka with my colleagues, first time for them and they all enjoyed the food. It was really quiet though, I hope business picks up for them as I really like going when I am in Northampton. Worked out around 30 pp for starters and main courses each. I think it’s pretty good value as the portions are pretty big too.

This is our second visit and had great food both times. We made a booking as it was close to Christmas and they called us on the day to check we were still coming. Fair enough. The food was quick and all fresh and tasty. The sushi was nice but nothing out of the ordinary. It was traditional rather than fusion or modern. But it was good. All the mains were yummy although I had the pork katsu curry and the meat was a little tough but after some curry sauce and steaming rice it was still very nice. Great miso soup. The prawn tempura was crispy and succulent. We spent 180 for 6 people although none of us drunk alcohol.

We have been to Akasaka multiple times and the food is always very good no matter what you order. They are able to customise the dish to your taste / needs. The staff are very friendly and provide great service.

One of the best Korean & Japanese Restaurants I've been to. Waiting for food was minimal, staff was excellent and friendly, the tofu was fantastic! A true Gem. Plenty of vegan healthy options to choose from. Parking around the street can be found but might need to look for a bit. Truly worth visiting!
