Review from Suchi P.
Kingwood, TX

Best sushi place in the area- the atmosphere is more of a dinner atmosphere. They have a huge selection of rolls and a great tasting set of sashimi- the yellowtail, salmon, tuna, and unagi are fantastic.
They also have Chinese food and some other Japanese food, but I've only had the Sushi. The price is a bit on the pricey side, but I can't complain between the service and the taste!
I recommend the mochi green tea ice cream bites, their green tea ice cream is tasty as well. -

Their fusion rolls are absolutely delicious and definitely worth a try. Their unique sauces and presentation really make them stand out. The DFW Roll is by far my favorite, though it's a shame my favorite roll has to has such an unfortunate name. ;o
Lunch specials are great too, plenty of food at a good price. Service is fine. The guys working at the sushi bar especially are great; fun to talk to if you come in to eat by yourself. A nice, upbeat look compared to the boring restaurants that mostly populate Kingwood -- though the music is a little annoying. Overall though a wonderful place and a breath of fresh air for this side of town. I hope it stays around! -

Surprised at the look and feel. Nicely stocked bar was the first thing I saw but I was just ordering take out. Ordered Kung pow chicken lunch, egg drop soup and egg roll. $7.02 w/ tax.
Food was fresh and tasty. I am looking forward to a happy hr. session in '12 -

Whats up with the Dept of Health finding black and pink/tan slime in their ice makers this week?? It was posted on one of the local Houston news stations website today (5/25/12). I've eaten there a couple of times and have thoroughly enjoyed their sushi. I probably will hold back eating there until I hear there is some resolve at this location.

Love the Mango-Hawaiian role... not sure if that's the exact name though. The menu is eclectic with both Japanese and Chinese items from which to choose. The music was a bit too much; it's a restaurant in the suburbs, not a club in Midtown.

New, this is a must try place in Kingwood.
Asian fusion, and great sushi. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.
Update: We have been here many times now. They have some normal fare along with wonderful sushi. And so far, every thing I have had is just slightly different, than what you might consider "normal". Now I am of the distinction these slight changes to the normal dishes are an improvement. But I also there are those of you out there, that like your Kung Po a certain way, not with big tasty chunks of veggies, or served in a shallow dish. You may not like the tender choice beef in your Mongolian beef. I was with a group and a couple of people were of this ilk. Not there is anything wrong with that, but the FUSION part should give you a hint. I however find this to be one of the better places in Kingwood. -

I've only had take-out a few times since my initial review and I can find no reason to down-grade my rating. It is obvious to me that the food is alway freshly prepared. The Spring Rolls are better than anywhere else in the area. The staff isn't overly friendly but they are always very attentive. The place is always clean and it is two blocks from my house. There's plenty of diversity in the menu. Personally, I can't ask for much more

My husband and I ate here on Sunday and really enjoyed it. The food was great and prices were descent. We've eaten at pretty much every sushi place in Humble / Kingwood and this one rates pretty high for us. The only thing that could have made it better was a little better service. The place was pretty much packed and I don't think there were enough people working. My husband had to flag down the waiter to get a refill and I was never asked if I needed one. Other than that we were very pleased and will definitely be back.

I rarely do reviews, especially when a place has been open less than 3 weeks, but I'm certain that the kinks will get worked out and this will be one of the top restaurants in the Houston area.
I have been twice and I have multiple friends that have already been multiple times and we are all in agreement that the food is excellent. Red Dragon Rolls, any of the pepper tuna dishes, and the octopus salad (4 pieces of octopus on iceberg lettuce topped with cruchy roll crumbs and several nice sauces - $5) are excellent.
Kingwood adopted this place so quickly that they are having a hard time keeping up. I did notice the sushi chef training another chef recently. I think they must have started with one really good sushi chef and were not prepared for the business to grow so quickly.
I can't wait to go back. -

I like this place so much that I eat here at least 2 times per month. The food is very fresh. My personal favorite is the Burning Man, but there is tons of dishes to choose from. The staff could stand to be a bit more friendly, but they don't lack in attentiveness. I would recommend this place. It's up there with one of the better sushi spots in all of the Houston area. I have taken my toddler there a couple of times, but it's not very entertaining for them, so unless they are the patient kind of child, I wouldn't recommend you take your children there.

Food was good. Service was decent. It took a while for our server to get to our table and ask us for drinks. When he did all he said was "What are y'all drinking?" There was no introduction or anything. When the food came out we only got the 2 rolls we ordered without the sashimi which I would think was easier to prepare. I was also pretty thirsty that night so I was drinking my water pretty quickly. Instead of keeping up with refilling my drink, he just brought another glass of water to the table. The place wasn't even that busy. When he brought the check it was obvious we were his last table, it was still over an hour to close, and he drops it and walks out the front door to not be seen again. The manager ended up running my card and bringing the receipt back to me. Needless to say he didn't receive a decent tip since he didn't even stay long enough to receive it. I'll be back, but won't expect good service, just good food.

Thought the food was very flavorful and fresh. It does get crowded on the weekends but totally worth giving the place a break through the opening growing pains. Great addition to Kingwood!!

What a breath of fresh air for Kingwood. We love the uptown feel here in the forest. So far we have been going for lunch and have yet to have a bad experience. The food and service has always been enjoyable and the prices are within reason. Kingwood has a good amount of choices when it comes to elevator music while dining and this is not one of them. It is refreshing to have a contemporary place to go minutes from home saving us a trip downtown. We love the music and atmosphere. Welcome to Kingwood Akashi!

Great food and ambience! I have tried the sweet and sour chicken, spring rolls and the shrimp/avocado rolls. All of the food was fresh and delicious. Give them a try!

I decided to try out this new place and really wanted to like it. The interior design of the place is very nice, modern and clean. I ordered lunch special- 2 sushi rolls + soup and salad for $8.95. Not a bad deal at all. However, salad was boring ( it rarely is exciting at the sushi place, I admit), soup was bland- that's ok with me too. But the rolls- honestly, I can make my own so much better. I ordered spicy tune and philadelphia rolls- they were falling apart. Now I can see what other reviewers meant. They were not very carefully made. Too much cream cheese in philadelphia roll. And what's with sweet honey sauce on the plate with the sushi? I think they need to try harder since they are just starting the business, if they want to build clientele. I really liked the place itself, but not the food, I'm sorry.

What a bad experience! From club dance music blaring at dinner to sushi rolls that fell apart if you even tried to pick them up. I ordered one of the chef's special rolls that said it came with " homemade" eel sauce and one other sauce. No where did it state that it was swimming in it! The roll came in a bowl swimming in the 2 sauces which when you looked at it, it looked like it was in a bowl of vomit! Also trying so hard hard to be THE " trendy" place to be in Kingwood ( which in and of it self is an oxymoron) which means the painting of plates with sauces. The only problem with this is the sauces are to compliment the food and enhance it which at Akashi the sauces do not! Strawberry coulis and kiwi coulis Do NOT enhance the flavors of sushi! The other rolls we ordered fell apart as soon as you tried to pick them up. The general's chicken was swimming in some kind of sweet sauce with no spice at all! We won't be going back unless some serious changes are made.

They should just stick to sushi and drop the fusion theme. The sushi is decent but the Chinese choices pale in comparison to their competition. There are better choices for sushi, Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese in Kingwood. If ambiance is more important for you than flavor, this would be the place
