As a major udon lover, There were some definite highlights, but also room for improvement…read more The Udon Noodles: The noodles were a bit overcooked and broke apart too easily, lacking that firm, chewy texture you expect from good udon. The Soup Base: excellent! The mushroom flavor was rich and strong. Personally, I really liked it, though it is potent enough that it might depend on your individual taste. Fried Tofu: Given the price point of the udon, I expected a better quality version of fried tofu. Shrimp Tempura: This was just okay--nothing spectacular. Tempura Sauce: I really liked it because it tasted distinctively homemade rather than store-bought.

Disappointing that the chefs are "bored" and "dull" in their presentation at the tables. Part of what you are paying for is entertainment. Not so much the case here. Cook and leave without asking how the food tastes or if you need extra sauces, etc.

They have so many toppings you can choose from. Great variety! The service is quick and efficient. The ambiance makes you feel like you are in Japan. The moment you walk in there are high top seats at the window, and a lot of small tables. The walls are decorated with Japanese ads and artworks. They have 2 television screens: 1 with anime playing and 1 with a Japanese style pbs station (showing cooking, travel, etc...). They fill up quickly but it just goes to show you how many people love it! You can do take out orders or dine in. They have you scan a QR code on your table to send you to their menu, which ends up being where you order and pay for everything. You then will get your drinks. Then any appetizers you order. Then your food will be out quickly. Highly recommend!

A really nice ramen place to visit on cold winter days!…read more We've been here a few times in the past year and we're always pleased with the quality and flavor. We've ordered tonkatsu ramen, spicy Tokyo ramen, takoyaki, gyoza, the matcha latte, sake, calpico, and likely some other things over the visits and it's also delicious. The restaurant has an authentic feel and is decorated with a lot of vintage Japanese memorabilia and posts and such, it lends a nice vibe to the food. Service is a bit laid back, all orders are done via an app or website and the servers simply bring the food to you. But they are attentive with water refills and bussing of tables so it's not lazy. I recommend Akita!

We were a group of 6 people and were seated right away. They have an extensive menu for food and drinks. Everything is Japanese with some Peruvian flavours. For drinks half of us tried the fruit juices, made fresh. The other half opted for beer. The fruit juice was more like a smoothie. It was incredible and I would have definitely ordered more if I weren't full. It came in a strawberry and a pineapple flavour. I got the strawberry-ginger and it was very refreshing. For appetizers we got vegetable tempura, a shrimp wrapped in plantain tempura, and a chicken avocado tart of some sort. The veg tempura were meh but the rest of the appetizers were phenomenal. Especially the shrimp wrapped in plantain! For mains, some of us got seafood soba noodles, sushi and a fish dish. The food was pretty unique. The soba noodles did not look like soba, I think they used regular ramen noodles instead. However the sauce and seafood flavours were such a hit! Great find in Lawrence! Overall great experience. The service could be nicer. Will definitely be back for an after work dinner.

They denied us service and made us leave. As a former host in restuarant service I understand not wanting to have to clean up after.

Very unhappy with the way we were made to feel when we walked through the door.

The two of us started with a fried gyoza (always good), followed by yue yang spicy beef and fish filet in garlic sauce. The beef was wonderfully spicy, the fish fresh and tasty -- both new items on the Jade menu. Our inquiries to Sally about the sushi offerings landed us an unexpected treat: a sample of Carpaccio in garlic basil sauce, a superb offering of three delightful mouthfuls of japanese sublety laced with European flavor touches. Yum!
