Akebono 515

First timer. Let's just say. I'm coming back again. And again and again. I'm not one of those screaming off the top of the roof that I love sushi people. Just a normal dude who likes to try new things. All of the dishes and drinks were delicious with tonnnnnns of options on the menu. Give it a go if you're a fan.

This is my fourth visit to Akebono, and despite high expectations, they continue to exceed them! If you ask really nicely, and it's slow, they'll just make you some things they recommend. MAKE SURE you get their Japanese Mackerel. I would have a picture here, but I ate it too fast. It's just amazing. The nigiri is smooth, not at all fishy, and melts in your mouth. The fried parts are salty and crunchy. And the sauce on the side is the perfect complement to it all. You cannot go wrong here. I've eaten at least a taste of everything on their menu, and nothing has disappointed me. I travel for work and love sushi. I've eaten sushi all over the country - and in Europe, though sadly never in Japan - and this is the second-best sushi I've ever had, behind only Sushi Ran in Sausalito, CA. But Sushi Ran wasn't as enjoyable of an experience as Akebono. I cannot recommend them enough.

My husband and I had a great first experience here! Our waiter Derek, was fantastic and he recommended the freshest items on the menu for us to try. Service was fast, friendly, and they validated our parking. I'm from the PNW and have struggled to find a good sushi place in Iowa. Now, I know the best place and will definitely be going back!

I'm from louisiana, next to the gulf where the fish are fresh! This place is by far the closes you can get to fresh cut fishes off the boat. I almost thought I was sitting at the dock. Highly recommended. Best in town thumbs up.

Had a wonderful time with my husband! We were surprised about the price, our bill was under $30 for the two of us. We didn’t buy any alcohol, but we had 3 specialty rolls, salad, miso soup, and hot tea. The specialty rolls were bigger than we expected. Fun atmosphere and our waitress was awesome! The 2 person side booth was a little tight, but that was probably because it’s winter and I had a heavy coat with me. We arrived a little after 6pm and stayed until 7-730pm. It started getting busy an hour after we arrived. One tip, they do parking validation, but make sure you park in the garage right next to Akebono. We parked in another garage a couple blocks down and didn’t know that they don’t validate parking for it. We will definitely be visiting again!
