Been meaning to come here for a while and so glad we finally did. We ordered the "I Love Mango" poke bowl, Tonkotsu Ramen, gyoza, and sushi, and every single dish was outstanding. There wasn't a bite left on the table. The poke was incredibly fresh and flavorful, the ramen was rich and comforting, the gyoza were perfectly cooked, and the sushi was excellent. What really made the experience even better was the staff. Everyone was genuinely warm, welcoming, and happy to help, creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Durango has a hidden gem, and Akami deserves every bit of the praise. We'll absolutely be back.

I was frustrated to discover a 2.70% takeout fee that was not disclosed on the online menu, the…read moretakeout menu, or the menu plastered on the door!!! If you're going to charge an extra fee, it should be clearly stated before customers order. Transparency about additional charges before customers order is basic respect and something customers expect! When I asked about the fee , Daivyd H (cashier) asked rudely "Is it a problem"? *Photos of : receipt that shows the fee underlined in red , and the Shoyu Ramen The portion size was great for the price, the presentation was excellent, and the flavors were outstanding. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and thoughtfully prepared. The balance of flavors really stood out, and it was clear that care went into both the taste and the presentation of the food. My order was also prepared in a timely manner. I've eaten at many restaurants in Durango and haven't encountered this kind of undisclosed fee elsewhere. The food was delicious, but hidden fees made for a bad first impression. Overall, I'd give the service a 3/5 for the rudeness , and hidden & undisclosed fee. The meal, flavors, preparation, portion size, and wait time is a 5/5.

From the outside, saw a few people eating under a large covered patio shared used by multiple restaurants. Only saw a few people on the inside of this tiny restaurant.. Before decided to go in, was thinking, we are a long way from the ocean, looking at a tiny hole in the wall restaurant, serving sushi. What could possibly go wrong here.? Read the outstanding Yelp reviews and recall some of my best dining experiences have been st in the wall restaurants. Walked in and was quickly created. They have and benches and tables on one side and along table boor facing a window on the on the other side of the room. Menu was Asian Fusion and opted for the BBQ Pork with Rice and Fresh Vegetables. What a score. Huge portion and very tasty. Since I was eating with chop sticks we were there for a very long time. Saw many fresh dishes, happy customers and the place was packed . Lots of to go orders from locals as well. All great here!

To her credit, our kind waitress had the kitchen quickly make me a new one, but honestly it was still borderline inedible. This time, due to the salt. Not only was the meat heavily salted, but the breading was overly salted as well. I couldn't even taste the meat or the breading (or even the potatoes) because it wasn't a giant plate of salt. I ate all the broccolini, a few bites of potatoes, and a few bites of steak. I hate that all restaurants, because of patrons and their salt-conditioned palates, serve the most sodium-laden monstrosities possible. I didn't feel good eating it, I didn't want to eat more than a few bites, and I left the restaurant full of regret for the bites I did take. On the plus side, the beer is exceptionally tasty, and my kids both enjoyed their meals. We are leaving tomorrow and so we won't be back, but I wouldn't be back otherwise as well.

We all ordered drinks and some food items. The spinach/artichoke dip was a bit heavy and overcooked. You def could not dip your chips in it. I got the poblano chx fried steak. It was good but also a bit overcooked. Some folks got burgers and pizza and they all said it was fine. Go for the service and drinks!! Fun atmosphere. Sorry- it was too crazy trying to get pics.

I had to get up twice to get the bartender's attention, interrupting his fun time with other clients.

Really disappointed. PS any air conditioning?
