I LOVE this place. The staff is so friendly, it is BYOB and the sushi is a great price! The gyoza and miso soup are also VERY tasty. This is the perfect low key place to drink, hang out and eat sushi with friends. Can't say enough nice things about this business!
My sister and I came here on a Sunday night for dinner and drinks. The sushi was good although I can only speak for the vegetable rolls (I had avacado rolls, cucumber rolls, and tofu skin). They do not load the rolls with rice which was nice as I find the rice to be too liberally used in some places. They definitely were liberal with the avacado though which was awesome. We ordered a bottle of red wine which was only twelve bucks but tough to swallow. The prices for drinks are incredibly low but not sure of the quality of them. Next time we will just get saki. They are a BYOB restaurant which is pretty cool. The service is extremely quick and friendly as well. No desserts. This was a nice and affordable find.
This is a small hole in the wall type of spot on the lower east side. The sushi was fresh and tasty. They serve a solid Japanese menu at a fraction of the price compared to other NYC sushi-bars. Also, their alcohol is affordable. We ordered a bottle of wine for 13 dollars! The hot sake was smooth as well. It's also BYOB so you can bring your own alcohol and drink it there. Quaint, cozy, off the beaten path. Definitely worth stopping in.

After some intensive number crunching, I'd say this is a fair score.
I ordered delivery once from this place and all was great so I decided to order from them again. I ordered 2 tako sashimi + dragon roll. They sent me 2 tako sushi + a mix of raw sushi instead. So I called and they brought me another order. This time, they just gave me an eel avocado roll ($6) vs my dragon roll ($12) that they charged me for. I called them complaining and they started arguing with me that I was wrong. I order dragon rolls everywhere including from them and its always the same. I asked them, why do you they call it a dragon roll? Because it's green on the outside right? Think about it. They just kept insisting I was wrong even though I told them I could send them a picture of a dragon roll I ordered from THEM weeks ago so they could compare today's eel roll with it. They didn't want to see it. If you and your chef doesn't even know your own menu, why are you out there doing business? I even asked them if they had a new chef and they said no. The host asked the chef, you made a dragon roll right? He lied and said yea. Horrible horrible place. Well, they just lost a loyal customer…smh.
Will never order sushi delivery from anywhere else! I've tried so many different sushi spots in the area for delivery and all have been average at best. Akina is high quality, delicious and so quick. The staff couldn't be nicer too!
Decent food and decent prices. They had the food ready quickly too. I would say its a good spot. The BYOB is a reason to go back.
Live right by here so this is my go-to sushi place. My husband and i just started trying out other dishes outside of our regular rolls and apps. We just discovered the delicious salmon hibachi that comes w a bunch of delicious veggies. I try to eat as healthy as possible and this dish hits the spot. I also recommend the cook spicy salmon roll and rock shrimp tempura. Hot and cold sake $5 for this mini bottles. Can't go wrong….
