Amazing Sushi, quality was extremely good, I can only recommend this place! Good service and always going around with tea!

One of my favourite places in the Surrey/Delta border to order sushi rolls from! I absolutely love their special roll menu. It is definitely on the pricier side, considering how much you get for what you pay. But with that said, the rolls are delicious and full of flavour. I highly recommend the Fantastic Roll and Amazing roll if you like things like aburi and oshi and want that garlic umami flavour. The crispy roll and yam crunch roll were great options, but the Crispy Roll was a lot better flavour wise if you were debating between the two crispy options. Their lunch set (available before 3PM) is a fantastic value if you do order around that time!

I have been a faithful client since they opened. Always felt welcome and the items I ordered never disappointed (whether eat in or take-out). Good size portions very tasty, great presentation, fresh sushi and sashimi, and the service is always great. Pleasure doing business with you Julian and staff!

Food was bomb! Our first time here and we will definitely come back:) If you’re going with a group of friends definitely do the deluxe boat! Must-try items: Akari House Salad, Tempura, Agadashi Tofu, Crispy Roll.

Long time sushi establishment across from Scottsdale Centre. Good variety of sushi, sashimi, special rolls, and lunch/dinner boxes. The seafood ingredients used are fresh. Really like the various rolls (e.g. Fantastic roll) - good size and good blend of different fish. Fast food service. Apparently they have a sake sampler during the Christmas season - 3 shots for $7.50!

This place is busy. Reasonably priced. Customer service was good but not excellent. Hard to call waiter’s attention. We had to get up and no one checks in on us. The food was fresh except for the stir fry veggies and black rice. The veggies was overdone and the rice was dry and obviously not freshly cooked. Otherwise the chicken and tofu teriyaki and the prawn tempura were perfectly cooked. It’s a good hang out place for family and friends.

Update: Sept. 9, 2024 Even though we are within walking distance we don’t go for japanese often enough so it’s good to know that the quality is still A1. We made a tatami room reservation and our Special Dinner ($27) and Akari Dinner ($28) Combinations were excellent. All staff are Japanese here. Friendly staff in this cosy neighbourhood restaurant, tables and tatami rooms. Booking on-line is easy. Vaccine passport/photo ID checked. Menu is large so we ordered far too much. Everything was delicious and nicely presented. Highly recommend the Awesome Roll- crunchy bits and popcorn shrimp, suits the name. Tea refilled a few times. Over the 20+ years, we’ve eaten in and gotten take-out many times and quality is consistent. Located in a strip mall (Scott/72nd) with ample parking.

Ive just ordered the most disgusting sashimi ever! Today I was closeby and I ordered tuna sashimi salad and appetiser sashimi! First the containers are so inconvenient and the salad was squished into a small container ! The tuna sashimi had a weird taste and frozen! The salmon was literally non edible to a level that I couldn t chew on it! I spitted it out because it was rubbery like a peace of plastic! I tried another piece ( the same ) so everything was thrown away ! This is the first time I threw sushi in the garbage ! I don t know how they are still in business serving this kind of sashimi

One of the best places to get Japanese food in Delta

October 22, 2024

The chef was picking his teeth with his fingers for at least 1-2 minutes trying to get something from his back molars. He DID NOT even wash his hands after that then pulled the next order off the printer and started making it up. I spoke to him after to tell him what I witnessed and he did not say a word, just hung his head. THIS IS DISTURBING and I feel sick thinking of all the times we ve eaten there. HE WAS NOT WEARING GLOVES AS STATED IN RESPONSE

We got food poisoning after eating from this place. Short ribs were still raw and sushi wasnt fresh. There were flies in the restaurant. Service was lacking from the waitresses. Hope this restaurant can improve their standards.

We ordered from Skip, and they failed us so bad. The lady at the restaurant Went out of her way to call me and let me know that The driver had still not shown up yet, so I asked if I could pick up the food myself, Which she said allowed. She was so lovely and the food was spectacular as always!

I had the worst lunch I have ever had Today. Halfway through the meal, I saw a bug on the salmon sashimi, which suddenly made me feel horrified and sick. Has anyone encountered such a thing? Does this prove that their sanitary conditions are poor? Do I need to call the Health Department? Vegetarian options: Today I had the worst lunch I have ever had.

With limited seating the dine in experience outways the take out or home delivery. The hill from parking lot to the restaurant is brutal. Way to steep. Only recommend spring or summer and no weather issues. Parking: Parking is shared with other very busy stores. Cars pull into and out of parade off of Scott Road fast and dangerously. Kids need a tight grip and do not walk on the sidewalk of the pub as the path lights within the concrete are slippery Kid-friendliness: Only three tables for more than two, washroom are challenging and kids seem to er bored quickly Wheelchair accessibility: Not at all

The salmon sashimi in the salmon rice bowl was not fresh and broke as soon as you took it! White rice is not enough to taste like vinegar rice! The seafood in the udon noodles doesn t taste fresh either!

Sushi rolls are bigger than other places. Food was good!

April 22, 2024

Food is OK, ambience is good, the concern area is services specially the server employees, it seems like they make fun of customers while laughing at the back of the customer ,specially the customers from other different cultural background who are not comfortable or familiar eating with chop sticks, more over when they serve any dish service spoon is not given and even if other restaurants are compared they generally serve water as curtousy, but this restrurant was missing with that also. Vegetarian options: Vegan salads seems good in taste

I can t think of a time when I left a restaurant more satisfied and happy. Akari is designed very nicely. It s modern and comfortable. The staff are friendly and respectful. The food is incredible, everything we had was very tasty and fresh. We had about 10 different items and everything was top tier. I would say it s pretty rare to have that level of quality across the board but the Akari staff managed to do that seemingly effortlessly. It s a very well run restaurant and you might find yourself doing the Winnie the Pooh happy dance at your table. Order anything and everything. It s all amazing.

Friendly staff and good lunch spot

March 22, 2024

We have been going to akari for years for our date nights. Tonight we ordered our usual special combo and were disappointed and in disbelief. This place always had high standards, good taste and presentation. Our teriyaki beef was burnt so badly it looked cremated and i had to say a prayer for the loss. How does a chef serve this? Do you not take pride in your craft or business? Skip could only issue me 50% off for a dish so inedible. The roll was loosely rolled and so sloppy that when we opened the container it already fell apart. Considering your prices went up so high i suggest you also raise your standards back up.

After spending over 100$ and tipping 20$ cad we had to constantly ask for typical services. And the waiter questioned what we were ordering insisting we shouldnt order too much. Last time I checked customer is always right. On our way out we werent offered a bag for our food or chopsticks. We tipped regardless to give benefit of doubt, but after that experience I do not think we will be back.

Five years ago my husband and I moved from New West to Ontario and I have been missing this place like crazy ever since. We travel a lot so Ive had sushi in Vancouver, Toronto, London Ontario, Florida, California, Las Vegas, Seattle, New Orleans, Disneyland and Disney world and I have never, NEVER had sushi as good or as fresh as Akari. We recently moved to Seattle and as soon as I can I will be coming to eat everything on their menu. I have never had sushi so fresh that the tobiko pops in your mouth and their spicy sauce is world class. If you havent eaten here yet be prepared to have all other sushi blown away.

Me and my partner come here often. We always asked for the booth to be more personal. The staff even remembered our face and would immediately help us with a booth whenever we come by. The food and the price are alright, usually range $50 for 2. We always got tuna sashimi, kappa roll and katsu udon. Recommend them especially the udon, their broth can be slightly different each time but very good. One time, I mistakenly received donburi instead of udon but they were nice enough to fix it for me. Would come back.

We like the place, especially the private booths. But I was quite disappointed at the dish I ordered, Oyako Don. Ive had it at other Japanese restaurants and its usually a no-fail dish, with chicken, egg and onions on top of rice. This one was drowning in sauce...as if it was a soup. After a few bites I spooned out all the sauce so I can try to finish the food, but the rice had already absorbed too much sauce.

We ate here last night and I must say we were so very impressed at the quality and variety of food selections. Very delicious and we were so stuffed having sampled many dishes! We even took home the beef Udon soup which was even better as lunch today at my work. Very generous and delicious portions of everything we ordered! The yakitori had such a grilled flavor and chicken karaage left us especially yearning for another visit. We will be making the drive from Bellingham regularly to visit this amazing hidden gem of a restaurant. Well done Akari!

Enjoyed dinner here as it s one of the few Japanese restaurants that still does a seafood version of the motoyaki. I liked that they added spinach in it as that was different, however I wish there was more seafood. There was only a few bits of scallop and shrimp. As for the rolls they were nice and fresh, everything tasted good and the server was very attentive. Portions were decent and not too small or too big. They have booths but we sat at a table as the booths were all reserved. However, they aren t tatami rooms just booths with a private curtain.

I have ordered takeout from this place many times with no problem. The one time I try to dine in with my sister, we are completely ignored. The people arriving after us are all seated.

We had to stop and eat at this place during mid day business dealings. I was actually able to call ahead and book out a table with an appetizer selection made in advance. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere full of joyful conversations. For a smaller restaurant in a nook, they sure make great use of the space to accommodate a greater number of guests. It was full of people during our visit for lunch. I noticed upon being seated that the lineup had gone out the door within the 5 minutes we from when we were seated. We had gyozas, chicken karrages, and soda drinks to begin. The lineup I spoke about out the door was taken care of in less than 10 minutes, which I have to say is excellent service considering how busy the servers and cooks were. We ordered a wide selection of meals, including Chicken Yaki Soba and sashimi. The food was served to us timely and displayed beautifully. I thoroughly enjoyed the Yaki Soba, and their chicken wasnt greasy like other locations Ive eaten at. The menu options were priced fairly, and service is superb at this establishment. Id recommend it to friends all day long!

Their staff is always friendly and prompt, prices reasonable, and sushi fresh. Akari is the only place I trust and have been coming here for years. The atmosphere is so cozy and welcoming with private dining rooms. The lunch bento boxes are a must try and are very reasonably priced. Can t say enough good things about Akari.

Sept 01, 2023 First time trying this place since there was a 40% deal on doordash for local eats. Overall it is okay. Salmon donburi: Big portion of rice, but only 5 pieces of salmon. Wasnt anything spectacular. I did purchase their house spicy sauce on the side and that was pretty good. Too bad it was so little. House roll: My fault for not reading the description, but it was basically a California roll with a piece of smoked salmon on top. Nothing like the usual mix of raw fish house rolls. Negitoro roll: The only thing they got right about this is how they finely minced the tuna. Unfortunately, it was fishy. Dynamite roll: Worst roll ever. Extremely dry and the dried prawns were old. It was hard. Obviously it had been sitting for too long. The roll contains no sauce at all.

My favourite local sushi haunt. Their seafood dinner combo is incredible value. Lots of protein, low in carbs and the black rice substitution is so healthy! If you want a healthy and delicious protein-filled salad, try the Akari House Salad, or the Crab and Ebi salad. Sushi is my all-time favourite food, and Akari does it just how I like it. The Korean ladies working there always smile, provide great service and address me in a warm first-name basis. If you live in Delta, and love Sushi, this is the place to be!!!

My new favorite sushi place in Surrey. Ive ordered in many times but its not the same as eating it fresh. So good! The service was also very good. The fantastic roll was indeed fantastic. The wild salmon sashimi was so fresh. The cream cheese salmon roll was well balanced, probably the best version Ive had of it anywhere. This comes from a person that grew up in Richmond and knows sushi . The prawn tempura was nice a crunchy with a light breading just the way I like. Will be back soon to try more items!

I have been to this Sushi Restaurant twice now and twice I have walked out after being ignored as I stood there for up to 10 minutes while the staff stood at the cash register and acted like I wasn t there mean while the place was empty. I seen them notice me, yet they still ignored me and let me just stand there. Meanwhile another patron walked in and they walked up and seated this person or asked if they were there for a pick up. I am a well dressed middle aged person and yet the staff ignores me? It is the rudest staff. I have ordered from this restaurant through Skip the Dishes many times and love the food. But I will not ever, ever order from this restaurant again. If they cannot at least sit me down, bring me a menu and act like they care for their clients, then I shall use the other numerous Sushi Restaurants that populate the Surrey-Delta area in the Strawberry Hill and Newton area such as the one in the Strawberry Hill theatre complex across Scott Road or one of the two Sushi Restaurants at 64th & Scott Road.

I got teriyaki chicken roll and chee chick roll for takeout. I was so excited to eat when I got home but there was a white hair in my teriyaki roll and the chee chick roll was completely soggy with white liquid everywhere in the box. Completely ruined my appetite.

Ordered takeout here again, delicious sushi! We got a bunch of different rolls that they put into one big platter. The tempura is so good, it wasnt overly breaded, just enough, making it crunchy and tasty! Dietary restrictions: The online ordering made it easy to request/omit certain things.

Its the place my husband has been going to since he was a child, so for about 20 years. Its his family favorite and we had to visit it during our visit to Canada. I ordered a miso soup, a couple of tobiko nigiris, appetizer tempura, and toro sashimi. My husband ordered a miso as well, sunomono, and a chicken teriyaki donburi. The food was good, fresh. My husband liked sunomono a lot, I like everything I ordered. Shrimp tempura was crisp and batter was thin, so food quality is around 4-5 stars. The reason I gave 3 stars is service issues we experienced and a bit high pricing. Toro sashimi was $18 for 7 thin slices, rolls and nigiri pieces are priced on the upper end for this type of food. Portions are in general smaller than in other sushi restaurants weve been to in Vancouver area. It seems like our bill does not reflect the amount of food we ordered. As for service, we were not offered any drinks upon arrival, so when ordering we asked for tea and it was not refilled until we got a bill and asked for a refill. The place is pretty cold, probably AC is running too high - it may be a good idea to get a sweater if you want to dine in. Another issue with service was the food prep time. Chicken teriyaki donburi took about 35 minutes to make and by the time it was served to my husband Ive already finished all my food and hes been done with his appetizers for about 20 minutes. It would be great if food prep times were a bit more coordinated. Overall, the place is nice. Food quality is consistent. They have individual rooms and ordinary tables. Well probably be back here again to capture some childhood memories :) Oh, and sorry there are almost no photos. We both were really really hungry.

Akari is a guaranteed delicious meal. Sushi is always fresh. We loved our dinner box and Love Boat, and enjoyed sitting in one of the tatami rooms.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon with my husband & parents for lunch around 12:45/1pm and it wasnt very busy at all, but it did take a few minutes to get greeted at the door and after we sat down, that also took awhile for a server to come take our order for both drinks & food. I ordered the Sashimi & Sushi Bento and it was quite delicious, the fish tasted fresh, the tempura was really good as well and the salad was a decent size and it was a nice surprise to get a side of edamame as well. The watermelon was also a refreshing fruit to finish off the meal. Would definitely come back again - but Id probably make a reservation so we could sit in one of the rooms instead of sitting at an open table.

Very nice Japanese restaurant, the tempuras are well made, one of the best I had; beef udon (did not took photo of it) are nice as well. I would recommend cooked dishes over sashimi although their sashimi are nice, but more on the average sides.

My family has been coming here for almost 20 years. Back in the day it used to be amazing and was our favorite Japanese place. However over the years the quality has gone down. The food is alright, but the service is a bit lacking now. I was there a couple of weeks ago with my parents for lunch - no one greeted us for a long time, we waited almost 20 minutes after being seated for someone to take our order, and no tea was even brought, it seems you have to request it now. During the meal, no one checked on us once, not even to refill our drinks. They had 2 waitresses working, and only one was friendly. I truly hope they will improve, as my parents still like to come here for old times sake so I am a regular patron whether I like it or not lol
