AKEBONO JAPANESE RESTAURANT REVIEWS
Really cool decor. Ricky was my server. He was outgoing and friendly. Sushi chef has fantastic skill rolling my salmon roll quickly. It came with miso soup and salad with ginger dressing. YUM! Selection of sushi is creative. Located downtown and parking was available on street.
Introduced our friends to Akebono 515 tonight since we were all craving some sushi. It never disappoints!! The Mr. Grinch roll they had as a special was . Two of my favorite rolls are the Rising Sun and Malibu Crunch! If you haven’t been it’s a must try! Fun atmosphere and always great service!
I am not a sushi guy by all means; however, my friends are. They guys accommodated my meal and cooked up some crab into my roles. It was delicious by all means. All the other food that friends got, looked extremely well prepared and presented. I am yet to hear anything bad about this place. Worth a try.

HANA RAMEN SUSHI REVIEWS
We came for my mom’s birthday. It was overall a great experience. The food was tasty, food came out timely, and service was attentive but not overwhelming. The tea wasn’t great, but that was our only complaint out of everything. They even brought out my mom a fried ice cream dessert with a candle for her birthday. I would go back!
More than one sushi and raw fish decorative boats are awesome, although a good bit of money is highly recommended for an occasion or party. I wasn't impressed with the Ramen as some were. Sushi selection is huge and varied. Attentive wait staff. Clean and decent relaxed atmosphere.
Loved the sushi here. Last time we went I had the mountain roll and ginger salad. Always good. I would love to try the ramen too. I also love the little fish tanks around and I think it’s kind of morbid in a fun way; these little fish get to watch their distant cousins get chopped up and eaten.

W-TAO SUSHI REVIEWS
The restaurant is more spacious than I would have thought. We had a large party and were sat by the entrance which got cold when people forgot to close the door. With that being said, it did not hinder our dining experience. The food was magnificent and the cocktails were superb. Presentation was top! The space is beautiful inside and had kind of a sexy vibe. The servers were extremely attentive and we all left satisfied. Our cups and our bellies were full. Great place!
Love W-Tao. Walked there Monday during the snowstorm, and it looked like they were excited for the extra tab. Janet was our server, and she took wonderful care of us! We ordered the Black Dragon, Dragon, and Foxy Lady rolls. Could not eat all of it there, but it made a wonderful snack back at home later.
Highly recommended!! Best sushi in Des Monies. Ask for chef’s special. You can never go wrong!
