Akita Japanese - Cebu City

The food is good. I ordered Karaage, Tamago Chahan and Miso Soup. But as for the service, I’m not impressed. For some reason, our food was served later than those 3other tables who came after us maybe our order was lost? I had to make 2x follow up. So I’m a bit disappointed.

We received a free kid's meal, and the food was fantastic! I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant—it's very introvert-friendly. The staff were friendly and attentive, always wearing smiles. We found ourselves returning to this place regularly, especially on weekends. I absolutely love the Japanese food they offer!

We found the shoyu ramen a bit too salty, necessitating a splash of water to balance it out. However, the butakimchi ramen was outstanding, generously filled with pork. Since we don't eat much meat, we struggled a bit with the pork, but this shouldn't be an issue for most diners. The gyoza were delightful, bursting with flavor and juiciness that made dipping sauce unnecessary. The chicken karaage was formed into balls, which caught us by surprise. However, the flavor didn't prominently feature honey, so I would recommend trying different flavors of their karaage. Overall, it was a satisfying experience!

If you're in the mood for Japanese cuisine, you have to check out this place! It's a perfect 10/10, with generous portions and great prices. You can thank me later!

If you are going to ask me about my 3 favorite things about Akita, it would be their ramen, gyoza, and their super jovial owner. I also enjoy their food promotions where my favorite ramen is sold around $3 (150 pesos). It is a fantastic bargain. If you are looking to try out some Japanese dishes on a limited budget, Akita should be on top of your list.
