Dear beloved Akari patrons.
Now celebrating our 15th year, Akari Japanese Restaurant has been bringing both traditional and modern food and culture of Japan in a warm and family style atmosphere. When a patron walks through our doors, I want each and every patron to feel at home and experience a delightful dining experience. Behind the traditional sushi bar, led by our Japanese trained Chef Lee San who brings 25 years of experience, is a crew that is passionate about bringing you delectable, beautiful raw fare. From our signature rolls to the subtle flavors of fresh sashimi, we serve food that is inventive and soulful, expanding our guests' perceptions of Japanese cuisine. For diners who prefer cooked cuisine, an array of dishes awaits, including our daily featured bento boxes and our famous crispy tempura wild prawns. I welcome you to join our family and experience our story. Thank you for visiting our website. We hope to see you soon.
Sincerely yours,

I was skeptical at first because they ranked so high in reviews and this place was located in Delta/Surrey but I must say I was really impressed. I think Ive been to all the Japanese restaurants along the Westcoast and Akari is absolutely top notch. Their black rice specialty rolls and tempura were especially memorable. The owner told me they have a tempura master who have been making tempura for 20 years! Ill definitely be back with my family and friends.
This little gem is packed away in a strip mall at Scott and 72nd in Surrey. It's absolutely delicious! A little pricier than some comparable places, and the service could sometimes be better, but the food is always excellent. I have yet to be disappointed, and I've been going there for years.
