Akeno Sushi Bar and Thai Alexandria

We were visiting Alexandria and happened to stumble across Akeno Sushi Bar and Thai — what an amazing find! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff made us feel right at home from the start. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, which really added to the overall experience. We kicked things off with the fried gyoza, spicy garlic edamame, and miso soup, and everything was spot on. The gyoza had that perfect crispy texture and savory filling, the edamame had just the right kick of spice and garlic, and the miso soup was warm and flavorful — exactly what you want before sushi. For our rolls, we tried the Kani Kani Roll, Red Dragon Roll, and Amako Masuri Roll, and each one was beautifully made and incredibly fresh. You can tell they take real pride in their presentation and fl

If in the Alexandria area give @akenosushibar a try! Super kind staff from the door and through out our visit! The space was very clean, trendy and inviting! They have daily happy hour (yes daily, lol) so we tried the pork gyoza (4.5/5) shrimp shumai was our favorite (5/5), crab rangoon (3.6/5) and the fried tofu was our least favorite and I’ve had my share (2.4/5) but the accompanying sauce 5/5! Mimi rates their salmon sushi roll 5/5 super fresh and well prepared, iykyk! The mojitos were a bit more sour than we’re accustomed but definitely had the kick, lol (3.7/5) and the whiskey sour nice and strong (4/5). #birthdayshenanigans #sushi #alexandriava

My husband and I came here for an early dinner date and this place did not disappoint!! From the moment you walk in every is perfect! The service was outstanding on all levels! We ordered the crab Rangoon and hot sake to start and it was delicious! Then a chicken ramen. Unfortunately the ramen missed the Q. The flavor was just not there compared to other places we've visited. Even the spicyness was absent in the broth. We also ordered two sushis. These were very good and flavorfully and spicy! The presentations were very nice and beautiful!! The servers were very attentive the whole time and the atmosphere was very warm, clean and cute!!! We will definitely be back for more.

We've searched a long time for our regular sushi spot in the area and after trying a sushi/sashimi combo everywhere nearby we kept coming back to Akeno. The matcha sour is a perfectly balanced cocktail, and typically we get two premium nigiri with a bottle of sake. The fish is consistently good quality and everything in the assortment is great. Mango sticky rice is also a consistent hit.

After a long search, we've finally found the best spot that serves incredible Thai food, ramen, and sushi all under one roof. We've tried countless places, and while many are good, this restaurant truly stands out from the rest. The ambiance is so lively and cheerful, and the staff is absolutely wonderful, making the whole experience even better. ​We stumbled upon this place after a late school activity, looking for somewhere close by that was still open, and we are so glad we did. The food is simply the best—my son is a huge fan of ramen and sushi, and my husband and I absolutely love Thai food. We enjoyed a diverse meal where everyone found something they loved. ​The mocktails deserve a special mention; they're unique and much better than what you'll find at other restaurants. We were al
