In Short – Nestled into a strip mall, this low-key, brightly lit restaurant satisfies suburbanites' craving for sushi with abundant, fresh maki and sashimi offerings, from tuna and salmon nigiri to popular spicy tuna and roe-speckled California rolls. The restaurant also serves Japanese entrees like tempura, teriyaki and noodle dishes. – – –

Worst service less than average sushi
by EMoer
BAD service. C'mon, if the food is just below average, at least be nice! Not recommended. Go to Akira at 1137 Greenleaf Ave instead - uncomparable food and service.
- Pros: none really
- Cons: everything

Sushi is average
by jefftolt
Sushi here is OK, nothing great. The Chicken Terriaki dishes are just average. I have had much better tasting at other Japanese restaurants. If you really like Japanese food better place is Sunshine Cafe on Clark in Chicago.
- Pros: close and convenient
- Cons: Expensive, average tasting meals,

HORRIBLE Sushi!!!!
by Micki77
This place is a health code violation in waiting!!!! I have now gotten sick from Akai Hana twice!!! The first time I thought it was just the flu, but by the second time I wised up. I have been coming to this restaurant for years, and though I have seen a slow decline in food quality, they have finally sunk to their lowest level ... a level that is surely not comparable to their high priced menu (compared to many great sushi places in the city). And worst of all, the customer service is absolutely TERRIBLE!!! Even when I told them that my unagi didn't seem right (after eating a couple of pieces then pushing the plate away in disgust!!), they would only give me half off my roll because they claimed I had eaten half. I couldn't have stomached eating half of this terrible excuse for sushi!! I will never go back again and I suggest that no one else put themselves through the experiences I have had!!!!!!
- Pros: Parking Lot ... and that's a stretch!
- Cons: Food quality, customer service, menu usability, etc. ....
