Akarui

Akarui absolutely blew us away. Everything was next level from start to finish. We ordered the Chashu buns, vegetable gyozas, and the Spicy Chicken Tonkatsu Ramen and wow… every single bite was incredible. You can tell real care goes into this food. Hands down one of the best meals we have had in a long time. This will forever be a must stop spot anytime we are in town. Highly, highly recommend.

Akarui truly lives up to its name—“Akarui” means bright and cheerful, and that energy carries through the entire experience. The space is spotless and welcoming, setting the tone for a great meal from the start. The fish was incredibly fresh, clean-tasting, and high quality—beautifully prepared and easy on the stomach. Every bite felt thoughtfully done. The waitress was fantastic and clearly knew the menu well; her recommendations made ordering a breeze and led us to some excellent choices. Friendly service, fresh fish, and a bright, inviting atmosphere. If we’re ever back in Omaha, this is absolutely a spot we’d return to. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates quality seafood and great service.

Keep doing what you're doing, Akarui! First time trying this place and I couldn't be happier. Chashu Buns and Vegetable Gyozas to start. Absolute bangers. Spicy Chicken Katsu - nailed it. We ate far too much. Fantastic stop. Will make a stop whenever we're in town.

Great stop for fuel before a show!! Very welcoming and clean. Ramen was fabulous. There is a spice on the tables that made everything better will be back for more!!

This place is pretty good in terms of Japanese food. I ordered sushi and sashimi mix. The price was very reasonable and the quality of fish was really fresh and enjoyable and I could not expect anything more from a sushi place located in Midwest. The atmosphere was modern and giving the location in downtown Omaha I would say pretty appealing. I would certainly recommend this as a quick launch bite for anyone who is into Asian cuisine.
