Akashi Japanese Restaurant - Japanese restaurant in South Miami - 5830 S Dixie Hwy, USA

Hands down one of my favorite sushi restaurants for over 10 years. Love this place and as usual I'll always have the tuna tatami and the alex #2. Place was recently remodeled to have a way brighter atmosphere which I preferred it darker but still clean and tidy.

Me and my wife get the dane#2 and "sexy mama" respectively, and it's the best sushi we've ever had. Only complaint is that their cheesecake is never available the couple times we've visited, but the Thai donuts were a nice substitution.

Best sushi ever, Sexy Mama is my favorite! They're always out of the tempura cheesecake when I go, but the sushi makes up for it 💕

This is an excellent place, sushi and everything we ordered was very fresh. Currently they are doing only take-out and everything is packaged in styrofoam boxes. I'll definitely come back when they re-open after the covid crisis is over.

First off I want to say that I absolutely love this restaurant. Definitely some of the best rolls in Miami. With that being said, I decided to try a few different dishes on my most recent visit. I ordered the Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura dinner which I felt was average and had a bit too much breading and not enough shrimp. I also ordered the vegetable Udon noodles which were again okay, but had too much cooking oil for my preference. My girlfriend had the Rainbow Roll which she was happy with. I think I will stick with the sushi rolls when I go back.

Really nice small place off of a main street. Menu has a wide variety of things so if you are not a sushi person you can come here too. We did straight sushi and sashimi. The Sashimi sampler which had White Tuna, Salmon, and regular Tuna. Very fresh and was very good. All of the rolls we had were very solid. The interesting thing was the spicy tuna, this was very different than other places. This looked to be a tuna roll cut up,and set on the plate with a spicy sauce on the top of it. I am not sure how I feel about it. It was not bad, it was just different from what is normally served at sushi places. Would definitely come back here again when in Miami. There are a lot of things I would like to try.

The pictures on the order of the lunch special 14.00 or so this place is worth the drive do you want sushi go here there’s still in takeout moon only the dining room is closed but the place is busy as can be because the food is Awesome The dinner menu looks awesome got to come back for dinner

I used to be a regular for dine-in lunch at Akashi before COVID-19 as it was my favorite Japanese spot since i work in the area.During the time Covid-19 was at it worst, they changed to take-out only so I patronized the restaurant only twice during that period, as I realized the food just didn’t taste the same as when I dined in.When Covid-19 passed and all other restaurants re-opened for dine-in,Akashi was the only restaurant still doing take-out only,which made no sense at all.However,when I saw that they re-opened for dine-in,I had to pay them a visit.I work in the area and I am not looking to spend too much on lunch so their lunch specials pre Covid-19 used to be perfect for me.I visited the restaurant for lunch this week and asked the waitress about their lunch specials,however she told me that they no longer have any lunch specials but I could get a combination dinner instead.From the time I heard that,I felt like leaving the restaurant.Instead of leaving right away,I took a few minutes to browse through the menu and when I saw the combination dinners were for $29.00,I was like no way I am paying that much for lunch when I can get a lunch special at another Japanese restaurant which is just as good as this restaurant for $10-13.I decided to leave the their restaurant without eating anything and go to another Japanese restaurant which was a few minutes away and I got a lunch special with the same items as their combination dinner for only $12.95.It was great and I think that will be my new go to Japanese spot.Management at Akashi has to realize that people are not looking to spend that much money at lunch so when you are asking them to pay $30 for a lunch,they will go elsewhere where the food tastes just as good,if not better and get it for $10-13.If they continue to operate in this way,I don’t see people patronizing their restaurant anymore and they will go elsewhere as there is no value for money at their restaurant as their is so much competition with regards to Japanese restaurants in the area which are way more affordable.
