This is an excellent place to take guests to show them some of the best sushi Vancouver has to offer. Great portions, slightly elevated prices, but entirely worth it! Lots of tatami rooms so you don't have to sit in general population if you don't want to. Worth it!

My wife and I rarely take the opportunity to eat around the Surrey area, even though we both work there. On a Friday night after work, we decided to give Akasaka a try based on the good reviews. The restaurant certainly lives up to the hype!

We were seated promptly when we arrived. We were there quite early, around 5pm, and there were only a few tables with guests.

The menu had the standard fare, with the addition of many special rolls. As we hadn't tried Akasaka before we opted for some more standard items as the special rolls are quite pricey ($7-10 each!)

We ordered a Favourite combo (California roll, BC roll and Dynamite roll), a Spicy Tuna roll, and Toro Nigiri, Saba Nigiri, and Atlantic Salmon Nigiri.

All the items were pretty standard sizes, but wow, everything was very fresh! The tempura in the dynamite roll was crisp and warm. All the raw fish was sweet and fresh. We liked the fact they added some teriyaki sauce to the BC rolls, as not all places do, making them more moist. Overall, excellent quality, presentation and freshness!

Service was excellent as well. The waitresses were friendly, and efficient.

Now onto price. Prices are a little on the higher side here, but it's balanced out with the quality of the food and the service. Given the prices I wouldn't say this would be a regular place to eat, but certainly a nice place to bring family or friends if you want a quality meal.

Overall we will definitely come back given the chance.

My husband and I big time sushi lovers and usually go out once a week night for it. We have tried numerous places (from downtown Vancouver to Langley) and Akasaka is one of our favourite places to eat sushi at. Its great food at a reasonable price. Their specialty rolls are great. Their crazy boy roll rocks!! We go here on a weekly basis and their service and food have been consistently good. I have taken family members there as well and they all love going there now. Parking can be an issue at times as they are packed every night!!!

This was one of my top sushi places in surrey to go to (it's great for going for a movie right after, or taking a walk in green timbers), but one day i decided to order take out, and alaska roll and salmon sashimi.

So this costing 17 dollars, i figured it would be what i ordered. but when i looked at the bill it said "smoked salmon roll and salmon sashimi", now as most sushi lovers know alaska roll is essentially raw salmon and california roll. when i inquired about this (i HATE cooked salmon) they acted defensive and refused to fix it/discount it. so they lost a very loyal customer

Best place in Surrey for Sushi and Japanese food. We had never tried sushi before we went to this restaurant and our first experience was such that it takes us back to this restaurant time and again. Service is very good. The menu has variety to suit all tastes. The sushi is excellent and even the hot food options are very good. Overall highly recommended, you won't be disappointed.

i love coming here for 2 reasons...1 being that there are so very few good places to eat in surrey and no 2 being that they have the best freaking rolls ever!! their las vegas and jazz rolls are my favorite even though the names are kinda cheesy. other than the fusion rolls, everything else is just the regular ordinary fare

The first time we tried this restaurant was when we first moved to the area about 15 years. There weren't too many Japanese restaurants around in Surrey at that time. We were very impressed with the food and the service back then. Kind of forgot about it but went back not too long ago and was very impressed that they had not lost their touch. The food was great and certainly within the top few Japanese restaurants in Surrey.

My husband and I have now been 3 times and all 3 of those times were just fantastic. The food is very fresh and the service is very friendly and accommodating. I always have the crispy roll and my husband has as much tuna as he can! It's wonderful to find such a great place and not have to travel downtown. Highly recommended.

I work in Surrey so i've been to a number of restaurants in Surrey. Akasaka is by far my #1 spot, it is roomy, clean, ample free parking in front of the restaurant, and attentive servers. Food is awesome, always fresh and lots of variety. There are a number of rooms (have to take off your shoes) and numerous tables for you to choose from. I not only tried sushi, i also tried their Korean dish, it was good, comes with 5 side-dishes like all the traditional korean restaurants do.
Definitely a great place for jap / korean food.

This place has changed owners and names numerous times. It's that japanese restaurant right beside Oriental buffet. I thought it wasn't that great, but when I went once, I kept going back.

Their sashimi is very fresh, big in portion and vary in variety. Their rolls are funky and very filling. I love how their sunomono is so much bigger than other restaurants. My favourites here are the Crispy Roll, Power of Love Roll, Ahi Tuna Sashimi, Ebi Mayo, and Agedashi Tofu.

The best deal here is the Sashimi Boat Combo B, which includes 20 different appetizers, a HUGE sashimi boat accompanied with a spicy hot pot with rice for 100. It says it's for 3 people usually, but I was stuffed when I came with 5 people. A very generous portion indeed.

Their restaurants have tables and rooms. Ask for rooms as they are quieter and the service is actually better there because there are more rooms than tables.

Try it, and you'll love it.
