Akasaka, noted as one of Richmond Hill's best Japanese restaurants, offers an extensive menu as well as a variety of services. Akasaka uses Teppanyaki Cooking Tables (iron griddle), frequently with the hot plate located in the center of the diner's table. The preparation of the meal by a teppanyaki chef can be very entertaining as well as educational. Asakasa's express lunch specials are also favourite with the busy lunch crowd.

This restaurant was rated as one of the best sushi restaurants in Richmond Hill. I got sushi take out for two people totalling $45. Presentation was average at best, fish was not fresh, in fact one of the pieces of white fish was so dry it had cracks on top. Overall, way overpriced for what you got. Also, waiting 30-40 minutes for the takeout order made you expect something special, not what other restaurants can deliver with half the price and half the time.
I'm surprised at these reviews; I thought the place was great! Service was fast; the sushi was so creative and delicious (best sushi I've ever had!), the ginger ice cream was to die for, and I don't eat meat but my boyfriend really enjoyed the tepanyaki. The chef preparing our food was very entertaining, and the magician was awesome!
The only thing that slightly bothered me was a little too much attention; servers came to our table every 2 minutes to see if we were ready to order, ask how our food was, etc.. it's nicer than slow service, but it was a little much.
Lunch was excellent -- it looked great - I had vegetarian sushi and my friend had the chicken and salmon lunch. Service was good. Overall a great lunch at a good price.
I have been coming to this restaurant for the last 10 years, but the service and quality are now so bad that I will not ever go back. I truly bad experience tonight.
