5 reviews about Akita Japanese Restaurant

My family eats dinner here regularly and enjoys eating from the Specials menu. The restaurant seems to have changed hands lately - there are different wait staff, a different maitre d' and a different sashimi chef but the food continues to be good and fresh (though there are some changes to our favourites). We like that it is both licensed and BYO too.

Approximate cost: $30

Mmm under new management I think. The food wasn't up to the usual ultra-fresh quality that I'm used to from Akita. Tempura was a bit over cooked. Still it was very good and I'll be back to see how things settle.

Thanks for the confirmation of my suspicions that there had been a change of management!

It's very hard to find genuine Japanese tasting food in Melbourne that doesn't cost the earth. This place has value for money on great tasting, traditional Japanese as well as some dishes on the specials menu that are a bit different. I've lived in Japan & my partner is Japanese. This suits both of us and our wallet. It usually costs about $25 per person (without drinks) when we go. It has a Good Food Guide chefs hat & has done for years.

Japanese retaurant serving traditional Japanese food, with a slight modern twist to it.
Food here is best suited for sharing to ensure you get a wide variety of everything. Menu here changes depending on the season and availability of produce, but rest assured it always tastes good.
