First time at Akita sushi (or any revolving sushi bar). Food was excellent: extremely fresh, with sushi varieties I hadn't seen before. The revolving part is great fun, although a few of the signs could have used more detailed descriptions. You can also order off the menu & there are lots of traditional cooked items as well as sushi & sashimi. Plates are color-coded for price so it's easy to keep track of spending. The chef is right there to create specialty rolls at your request. He is extremely friendly & more than willing to answer questions (the revolving thing cost $100,000 & this is his third restaurant).\n\nThe entire staff was friendly & helpful without being intrusive. When we sat down & were handed the traditional split bowls with wasabi & pickled ginger, I laughingly told the waiter we would be needing LOTS more ginger, expecting refills later when we ran out. He immediately brought a huge bowl & yes, my sister & I ate it all.\n\nDon't know what to say about the food violations concerns that 2 people mentioned. One at least was written when they'd just opened; perhaps the problems have been resolved. The place looked immaculate & the food was extremely fresh. We both loved it. Definitely going back!
