My partner and I got the spicy kina salad and miso soup to start with. The salad was fantastic and tasted like a spicy crab poke bowl, and the miso soup was good. We also got fried calimari which was great on its own, but the sweet chili sauce it came with made it fantastic. For sushi we had the sweet potato, kina/crab, spider, and Philadelphia roll. The Philadelphia roll melted in out mouths, and the spider roll was giant and really solid. The sweet potato and crab rolls were on par with others we've had too. We also got the Magic special roll off of the specials menu. It was tempura fried sushi that we can't even remember what it originally was, but it was phenomenal. It basically turned out to be warm tempura cream cheese, and the contrast with the cool crab meat on top was phenomenal. read more

I didn't expect to see a Japanese restaurant in Scranton. Although it is not run by Japanese, the food quality is exceptionally good. The raw fish is very fresh. The plating is really artistic. Their sushi rolls are unique. I've been to many sushi restaurants, their dynamite roll comes with some sort of mango sauce on top, making it very refreshing. A must try dish. read more

The moment we walked in, my wife said, "I have a bad feeling about this place," and she couldn't have been more right. The vibe was off immediately, but things went downhill fast. First stop: the bathroom, and that alone should've been a warning. It was dirty and clearly neglected, which is never a good sign in a restaurant. Then the food arrived. The gyoza and shumai tasted straight out of a frozen bag, the vegetable tempura was limp and greasy, and the salad might as well have been driftwood lettuce. The sushi was drenched in sauce to the point of drowning, and the rice managed to be both hard and mushy at the same time, an impressive culinary failure. We even got mean-mugged by the sushi chefs for daring to walk in. As for the chicken yaki soba, I would've preferred they tossed us a pack of instant ramen and saved us the trouble. We will never be returning. Once was more than enough. Absolute trash. read more

We were in town for the weekend and decided to try this place close to our hotel. It's a cozy setting; you're more likely to get a table if you come during less busy hours. We ordered gyoza dumplings as an appetizer -- they were pretty good. Our sushi dinner entree came with miso soup and salad, and I ordered a side of seaweed salad. My kid ordered the California roll and I had the spicy combo with tuna, salmon, and imitation crab meat (the combo name I can't remember, Kani perhaps?). Overall, no complaints; everything tasted fresh. My only complaint was that service was very slow and it took a long time for our sushi to arrive, though our apps came out pretty quickly. But, I attribute the slow service to a busy Friday night. If we're in the area again, I would come back. read more

Unfortunately I had a very bad reaction after eating the tuna roll here today. Within about 15 minutes I experienced severe stomach cramps, dizziness, sweating, and vomiting. I've eaten sushi many times before and never had this happen. I hope the restaurant looks into the handling and storage of the tuna so this doesn't happen to someone else. read more

Exceptional seafood quality in an area that people might laugh at because it's landlocked. Quality is on par with NY/NJ metro areas I'm used to from where I previously lived. Service was great, wait staff were attentive without being annoying. The sushi chefs were slicing away, heads down working to get the food out quick. Decor reminds me of your standard sushi restaurant, nice to see around these parts. Had the Akita and Dynamite rolls, wifey had sweet potato and chicken tempura rolls. Great tasting and unique; I mean there are definitely unique rolls on the menu. Also really happy there is run of the mill Japanese fare here because ethnic food in these parts is tough to come by. read more

I've been dying to have some sushi and luckily, Akita is not too far from university. They do have a lunch special and serve rolls, hand rolls, special rolls, sushi, and a la carte. I got the salmon handroll and the salmon was so soft that it just melted in my mouth. I wish I had it again lol read more

Had an excellent lunch here! The lunch bento boxes are a great deal - tons of food, all very fresh and excellent service! My kids loved it all too! We will be back! read more

The food was so good! As a person who has went to Japan various of times, I would say the sushi is very much authentic!! My mom who is fully Japanese also loved the food too and got the bowl with various of fish options and the food portion was HUGE! Definitely worth the price!! The service was pretty good. Only one person was working during that time but she was able to serve efficiently. Although everything was great, the sizing of the area is pretty small and doesn't have a lot of seats which is a bummer because the restaurant seems to be a hit! read more

Wow. Haven't been here in a while due to COVID. We ordered 4 different specialty rolls. They are huge and not with a lot of rice. Super fresh. Beautiful presentation. Every bite bursting with deliciousness. They are worth every dollar. Staff and service super efficient and friendly. Very comfortable sitting at the bar due to limited seating. Still a BYOB. If you have a hankering for sushi, this is the place to satisfy that craving. read more

Great sushi. Small place. Get there early because it fills up fast at dinner hour. Great service and an obvious popular takeout because call in orders were flying out the door the whole time we were seated. They must have a while take out prep going g in in the back. read more

Akita is my go to take away sushi restaurant in Scranton. The sushi is always good and it's always ready when you get there for pickup. Never had a bad experience with Akita. Super consistent. Dine in area is small and pretty bright so it's probably not date night material but it's great for take out. read more

My clients were in the mood for Japanese and picked this spot. They called in the order and I wanted the shrimp teriyaki. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. When I walked in they were not permitting anyone inside. The lady came and took my payment and I left. When I ate the food was very good. I liked the teriyaki sauce. The shrimp was cooked well and so were the vegetables. I had a good experience. read more

Best sushi in the area (Wyoming Valley). Portions are generous and fresh and the staff is friendly. It's our go to for sushi and we drive about 25 minutes to get there. They were closed for dine-in a long time after Covid but recently opened back up. It is BYO. read more

I Ordered the jalapeño poppers, sushi pizza and yaki udon and it was delicious! Husband said it was the best sushi he has had in a long time. Our daughter who does like care for Asian cuisine - loved the beef takati! SO GOOD! read more

Tiny place but dang the food is excellent! They are making the sushi right there in the dining room so you can watch. The variety of rolls is incredible. My husband and I came here during a ski weekend at Montage and this was such a great find. We both got the dumpling soup. He got the Tuna Lover meal and I got Scranton Roll and Sunshine Roll. Both were amazing but the Scranton Roll was perfect! Only one server for the whole dining room so just be patient. But service was still quick and water was always getting filled. Highly recommend! read more

Best sushi in the area. Always fresh and the quality is consistent, won't go anywhere else for sushi.

I'm not local to this town but the sushi was ok. It's weird when you stop in to pick up food as you stand in a make shift area the size of a large box. Wait time was ridiculously over the time we were told for pick up. Sushi itself was decent but it was expensive and no soup included with a $100 order. Just a little disappointed.. I love miso soup and would have ordered separately if I knew it wasn't included. read more

Excellent food and the service is outstanding. This is a family owned restaurant and the owners are just outstanding people. The restaurant is clean and they staff is very knowledgeable and don't mind explaining the menu items. My personal favorite is the Hamachi Kama. It's by far the best I've ever had in this country. Their rolls and sushi are delicious and their hibachi is second to none. It goes without question that they have the best fried rice. I highly recommend Akita. Just keep in mind they have limited tables so if you have to wait, I guarantee it later going to be worth it! read more

This is the best Sushi restaurant in this area- my favorites are the Sushi sandwich, salmon skin roll( don't order this anywhere else) and the eel and avocado roll. The rice is perfect and the roll just tastes so good. So glad they are back open for sit down service too! read more

Excellent sushi here. Be aware that the spicy tuna rolls are made with crispy onion and we weren't expecting this. Sashimi and sushi were very fresh! This restaurant is small, but food was very good and service is fine. read more

Spider roll was ok. The mango tango sushi roll was delicious & unique. I love the mango & banana combo. Good size portion. Would definitely get that again next time. The restaurant was on the smaller size. read more

Definitely a place we would order from again. Note that they only do take out right now. We decided to drive to Akita from an hour away because where we were staying didn't have quality Japanese food. It was SO worth the drive! We asked the waitress to pack the hot and cold food separately and they were very nice on the phone and accommodating. When we got to the restaurant, they were very careful with COVID (which I appreciate for people handling our food). Their door was closed off and they had a small window for food to pass through. The woman inside wore a mask. There was a table outside with "clean" pens and a separate container for "dirty" pens. They also had hand sanitizer and masks on the table. This is a photo of all of the rolls we ordered. The rolls were all delicious, and they were generous with the ingredients (avocado, spicy tuna, etc). Favorites were the Godzilla (w/o cream cheese), angry dragon, Moosic and the beef negamaki & hamachi Kama. The only thing we didn't care for was the kani salad, king crab roll, and the salmon teriyaki was small. We also really liked how they packed each roll individually and labelled each one since we had so many rolls. We were VERY happy with our order and it was well worth the drive. read more

how does this place have 4 and 1/2 stars? I picked up an almost 30 dollar sushi entree today. The tuna was beautiful looking and disgusting to eat. Even my cat (who I bought it for) wouldn't eat it. I am from NYC and have lived in CA and coastal CT so I have been spoiled but this is obsene. Nice people but do not get sashimi or sushi here! tasted like nothing. Regret my $4 tip! read more

This is the second time i have eaten sushi from here and it is bomb! Service is relatively quick and attentive. It's a small venue so not a ton of seating but tons of to go orders. I ate at the little bar and enjoyed watching them make the rolls. I got the Moosic roll and the triple threat and they were both different but equally delicious. I travel for work but will be back again. read more

Yum! Amazing sushi and byob too is definitely my favorite combination for dinner. Akita has great fresh and quality options for real fish lovers too. We started off with the sashimi appetizer to share, which had some great thick cuts of tasty fish. We also got some seaweed salads and miso soup. The seaweed salads were an awesome generous portion. The three of us also shared the rainbow roll, passion roll, and naruto roll. All were very tasty and delicious. My friends liked this place so much she got it twice this week. Definitely a great find in PA! read more

Perfect for a quick lunch, staff is very friendly, clean environment, and good prices!

My visit to Akita was fine and nothing critical to call out or mention. The food is fine, not good or great (I ordered the hibachi lunch with scallops which was served with a side of salad with a very watery dressing), the service was ok (the waitress could have been a lil less rushed considering that I was the only person seated for lunch) and sufficient seating I should say. Overall it was an OK experience considering I went for lunch from work. read more

Great and FAST sushi! This place is super tiny with about 6 or so tables and like 5 bar seats. However, they turn over tables really fast! Extensive menu with sushi, appetizers, and noodle options to name a few. I don't believe alcohol is served, but that doesn't take away from the awesome food. Service is very prompt and friendly! The two sushi chefs (is that the right terminology) explained what they were making when I asked, as I sat at the bar. Spicy tuna roll (6 pieces for $6) was GREAT and the monster roll truly was a monster! I would recommend this little place to anyone for a fast and delicious bite to eat! They also do take-out! read more
