    The amazing hostess with the Mostest!!!
    Paul K.

    It's hard to believe I find such amazing Asian and Oriental cuisine here in Auburn New York at a buffet that's under $15 a person for all you can eat drink.. It's like a dream come true in culinaryland.

    This was my 2nd plate. Sushi. Almond cookies. Pepper chicken. Rangoons

    Very good Chinese and Japanese Restaurant. The service was okay, and "poop" word written as an ice cream flavor was very funny!

    Are there 0 stars to rate this place? Not what I would rave about. Chinese Max in the Fingerlakes Mall has better food.

    Some of the food is over cooked and sits out to long depending on the time of day you go.

    Granted this review is from NYE and I appreciate it's likely one of the busiest nights, but it's…read morestill worth noting imo. We came with a group of 8, we were sat with a table of 5, spanning 2 hibachi grills (they seat 8 each grill) because apparently they were running behind and seemed to be short staffed. The person taking our orders was SO short with us, like zero pleasantries, drill Sargent taking orders that we didn't have a second to ask for gyoza for an appetizer, and our friend who wanted to order sake bombs was denied as well. So odd because we were the last table they took for the night (7p reservation) so there was no rush behind us. Food was fine, I think the portions decreased some over time but whatever. The bill came, they tacked on a 20% bill, I'm going to assume because we were a party of 8, but then the receipt also recommended an additional 20% tip which our friend fell for and they never leveled this. Finally as we're finishing our last bites, they came to clean the grill with lemon juice resulting in this burnt-smelling lemon juice...it was putrid and just a slap in gee face following that whole experience.

Honestly, I believe anything you try here will be very yummy. There's few restaurants that have great food AND an amazing ambiance, but I'm happy to say that Ichiro is absolutely one of those rare places! It's got a super nice vibe, and all of the servers are great! I've STILL never tried the hibachi there, but when I do, I have no doubt it will be great! It always looks like fun. If you're looking for Asian food in Geneva, this place is perfect! (If you are looking for MORE perfect Asian food, check out my review of "Happy India" which is very near.

I recall the soft-shell crab appetizer being one of my favorites from my previous visits and I had to opt in for it. I found this time around; the soft-shell crab was of a smaller size and clumsily presented. As for the Blue Mango Tuna, these were tasty and we had no complaints there. For entrees, the girlfriend opted in for the Teriyaki Steak Bento Box. The steak was tender, and a huge highlight was the tempura. Hot, crispy and perfectly fried. As for my Sushi Deluxe, I was a bit disappointed. The salmon tasted off, and as much as I don't personally like tilapia, even by tilapia standards, these weren't good. I did however enjoy the yellowtail since it was a cut from the belly section and the sweet shrimp (a la carte). We found our server to be on the dull side. He came off as if he hasn't gotten sleep in a few days and didn't seem too happy to be there. This is just our observation and definitely affected our entire revisit to a favorite restaurant of mine. We can also overhear a man at the host stand teaching a young girl mathematics and can overhear her frustration with it. Our Asian Sandwich came with no tempura flakes on top which states it does on the menu. This wasn't the great experience I've had over the years, and I'm on the fence whether to return or just make the drive to Rochester and visit one of the Japanese restaurants there.

The staff were incredibly friendly and efficient. We got there at 2:25 and the said last order while be 2:40, to make sure we wanted to stay. We meant to get there at 2:05 but we had am unplanned bathroom break on our way from Buffalo. The food came out VERY FAST. I've never seen anything like it. Maybe we were the only ones still ordering but even so, very fast. A server writes down the order on a pad, no sheets to fill or tablets. She reminded us we would be charged for uneaten food but the kids assured us they could eat everything. Other than a mistake roll (I think we were given a rainbow instead of an eel) they demolished the food. The only thing that would make it better would be Inari. It's a staple for vegans and vegetarians, but I still came out ahead with my sweet potato tempura hand rolls, avocado hand rolls, seaweed sala, and miso soup. Everyone loved the French fries, which is not the norm for AYCE sushi. Kids also loved the chicken nuggets, shrimp tempura, crab Rangoon, yakisoba noodles, and steak hibachi. Steak looked freshly cooked and not overdone. The kids ordered 5 or 6 different rolls and liked them all. Cannot say enough about how lovely and gracious the staff was, even after closing when we were clearly cutting into their break before the dinner shift.

    I would say this is probably the best AYCE sushi in Syracuse and I can't really say their…read morecompetition is that intense here. The fish on the nigiri is sliced very thinly and I'm not too surprised as it's AYCE but just keep in mind the ratio leans heavy on the rice. Sashimi is also NOT included in the AYCE price and I believe it's $1 or so per sashimi piece so they do try to fill you up with the sushi rice. I'm not really a roll person, I prefer nigri and raw fish for my sushi cravings. That being said, Akina is very affordable for AYCE The service is good, I don't think the wait is incredibly long. Usually we only wait about 20 mins or so. They do have high chairs and the bathrooms are clean. Parking is fine too, they're in a plaza so there is parking but sometimes it can get pretty full there. I would recommend eating at Akina if you're in the mood for AYCE sushi in Cuse.

The staff was friendly, helpful and on top of everything. Quick to support, quick to follow up and had a great system where they had servers consistently moving/watching over the dining room to quickly meet everyone's needs. The place itself is really nice inside, comfortable and cozy, even when busy it didn't feel noisy at all. My wife got an adult beverage and loved it. They kindly provided us a complimentary appetizer of Sushi unprompted which was a lovely surprise and delicious! For everything we ordered, edamame was a delightful starter and then we got 4 special sushi rolls and each one was a wonderful taste and blend of flavors. They were beautifully laid out on the plate which is always a nice touch. This is an easy recommendation to make. Please go and enjoy!!

I ordered a Crazy Coconut roll, a small vegetable fried rice and a glass of wine, my wife had the same as I did except she got the Mango roll. After a few minutes we noticed the restaurant was almost full and it seemed we lost our waitresses to packing To Go orders. We got lucky and arrived at the perfect time. They brought us a complementary appetizer along with our wine. Food arrived shortly after that and the sushi rolls were excellent. We have eaten here several times and always have enjoyed our meal. Worth a try if you love sushi.
