What People Are Saying About Akai Hana Japanese Restaurant

In Short – Akai Hana keeps it simple with a small sushi bar, a scattering of tables--both inside and on the brick patio outside. Triangle up-and-comers mingle with health-minded Weaver Streeters and undergrads. The sushi is made to order, using a good variety of fresh raw fish. Also on the menu: sashimi, huge bowls of noodle soups, teriyaki and tempura. –

Date night regular

by ABrown79 at Citysearch

We go to this place so often that the sushi chefs know us. It's our standard date night restaurant, and we were so excited when they made the special, "White Star" sushi, a regular. Try the crunchy shrimp roll, if you're new to sushi (sooooo good)... but if you're a sushi-expert, try the exotic ones - you won't be disappointed. Easy going atmosphere.

  • Pros: Craving-inducing sushi, great service.

Great Sushi

by Matt Russell at Citysearch

When it comes to sushi these guys do it right. We've tried several other places around and no one even comes close to Akai Hana. Their rolls are always fresh and I've never tried one I didn't like. Definitely try the crispy shrimp roll, very tasty. Best of all the price is very reasonable, not to mention they have some killer specials. The best place in Chapel Hill to get sushi!!!

Great Sushi!

by steph14 at Citysearch

Akai Hana is a great little sushi place, close to franklin street but not right in the center of all the commotion. They've got great deals on certain nights, and the crunchy shrimp roll is fantastic!
