Akina sushi

Great spot for date night or just a relaxing meal. This was our first time eating here. First impression: the restaurant is on a great little street with plenty of parking. Inside the restaurant was nice with a relaxing atmosphere. The host/waitress was friendly and sweet. We took a risk but not too risky and ordered something new from what we would normally get back home. The rolls were delicious and fresh. We also got the seaweed salad and Gyoza as an appetizer also delicious. Our waitress was amazing. The price was reasonable. Overall we had a great experience here and we are glad we found this place. Side notes…real chopsticks ( back home everyone gives out wooden sticks) do this a classy touch. It’s BYOB don’t be shy to bring your own beverage of your liking, they encourage it.

First time at Akina Sushi, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The sushi was excellent—fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Even when I showed up with a sake bottle that was probably a little too big, they handled it with nothing but kindness and professionalism, lol. Really appreciated the great service and atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back!

The sushi at Akina is very fresh! I went during the lunch hour and was very pleased with both the food and service. It was my first time and I opted in to get the vegetarian rolls: avocado roll, sweet potato roll, and zucchini tempura roll. All were really good. Miso soup is miso soup. Also, good. I will be back to explore more of their menu! They’ve only been open for 2-months (as of March 2025) and I hope they remain in the area. It’s a nice addition to downtown Conshohocken. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean. I recommend checking them out. Ramen is good too. I like how you can selecf your own broth.

We had an amazing experience here! The sushi was so fresh and delicious and the workers were attentive and so kind. Unique selection of rolls with beautifully plated dishes. Highly recommend and will be sure to come back!!!

UPDATE: Abel, the main man at Akina Sushi, personally called me to apologize for the opening week issues and even gave us a credit to come back for a meal on the house. Not an email or a standard response but a genuine, authentic call and conversation. The courtesy and care that Abel displayed was really impressive. Since then, my wife and I have eaten here 5+ times since our initial experience and have been blown away each time. The sushi is delicious, the staff are all so friendly, and the food has come out quickly each time we’ve been there. Would happily recommend this place as the best sushi spot in Conshohocken and the surrounding area. Worst 1st experience you could have asked for…I wish I even knew what their sushi tastes like. Let me set the stage for you. It was a cold, rainy night in January. My wife and I figured we’d try this place for date night, so we ordered takeout. We ordered 4 rolls at 5:15 to be picked up at 6:30 (hour and 15 mins early). When I arrived at 6:30, I was told it would be ready at 6:35. Ok, no problem. But after waiting for 45 minutes, I asked at 7:15 if there was any update on when my sushi would be ready. “Probably 10-20 minutes.” After waiting an hour for an order I placed 2 hours earlier, I finally walked out. Sushi-less, hangry, and not returning.

I had the pleasure of trying the new sushi restaurant in Conshohocken called Akina, which took over the former M&M Pho spot on First, off Fayette. Same owner but different concept. Fantastic and fresh sushi - I am picky when it comes to simple, mostly raw rolls and they did not disappoint. I love when sushi places have raw scallop. We also had the Kani salad and the owner Michael treated us to mochi at the end. It is BYOB, reasonably priced, and I can’t wait to return! They were doing a brisk takeout business and I overheard the staff recommending to order directly instead of through delivery services to save themselves the upcharge.

The sushi was fantastic. Kevin was the best and entertained us. Definitely recommend if you are visiting or live in the area

Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and delicious. I was in from out of town, my friend and I tried it on Friday. Let's just say we went back on Sunday! Pictures with this review are from our dinner. Friday night. We had the sushi dinner for two and an order of beautiful uni for dessert.

The servers here went above and beyond for us even though we came in late. They catered to everything we asked, and the environment was very clean and cozy. Once our food came out, I was impressed with the quality and flavor of the rolls. Would highly recommend this gem!

Honestly, 3.5-stars; but hope they will get better in time. ...heard that a new sushi place opened; decided to try to see. Inside of restaurant seemed to be clean and new. It was rather dark than bright...probably because of decor. As usual, I got first dish for normal sushi plate. This typically tells how good or bad fish selection and chef's skills, I think. Two pieces of Tuna, two pieces of Salmon, two pieces of white Tuna, and four pieces of white fish (this probably was Izumidai), and six pieces of spicy-crunchy Tuna roll. Number of pieces was good volume, but variety of fish, I felt, was a little less. I would rather like to enjoy some more different kind than same pieces on the plate. Their service was very attentive and good, welcoming and kept attention thtoughout dining time.

Great food!! Food presentation gorgeous. And the nicest people Comfortable atmosphere. Must try Hamachi collar. Amazing

Very fresh sushi- and very kind service! One of their staff greeted us and despite being very busy with limited seating, he seated the two of us at a 4 person table quickly because he noticed my wife is pregnant and wanted to let her sit down comfortably! They were very busy at this time and this gesture was very thoughtful. This same gentleman noticed that someone was smoking outside near the stoop entrance as we left and he offered to ask that person to kindly move so we could avoid the smoke on our way out ... we let him know that wasn't necessary, however we really appreciated his thoughtfulness! We ordered the gyoza, the fisherman's wharf sushi, the tonkotsu ramen, and the 10 piece sushi platter which comes with a spicy tuna roll. All of it was great! The sushi /sashimi really hit the spot - fresh fish, good rice! Also enjoyed their miso soup. The fisherman's wharf was delicious although we thought it needed a little extra flavor so we dipped it in soy and some more spicy mayo. My wife enjoyed the ramen as well- she liked the broth and thought the crispy torched pork belly was delicious. We will definitely be back! Hopefully my wife will be able to try some of their raw sushi next time :)

It's literally the best sushi I've had in years. I got the sushi dinner and it came with spicy tuna crunchy roll.

We had such a great experience at Akina! They heard it was my friends birthday and sent over a dessert and sang to her - we didn't even have to ask! The service was great, you could tell they really care about their customers. The food was great too. We had the chicken teriyaki, chicken katsu ramen and split a few sushi rolls. Great new byob in Conshy!

Ordered pick up twice and rolls are consistent. Wish they included shrimp roll options into the 2 roll special like other sushi spots in the area do. Please add option to pay online versus only in store (especially with the limited parking out front- you can't leave your car for long) and get rid of the $1.00 convenience fee. Good sushi for conshy, with these tweaks would make the review a 5

Absolutely amazing experience! I came in for dinner this evening with my friends and 9 month old baby boy. The staff was so kind playing with my son and even holding him and showing him around! I've never had such an amazing experience dining out like this before! Our food was also very delicious and fresh. Thank you so much to the staff at Akina sushi for being so helpful and sweet with my baby!!!

In my opinion, it's just not that good, food wise atheist. The waitress was one of the nicest person I have ever met, but the broth and Ramen was just not that good at all. It didn't taste awful per se, but it was just very bland to be honest. There's so much foods used in the combination that are not properly utilized to their full potential. Maybe a different style of cooking the foods will make it pop.

Very friendly service - they are super attentive to their customers. Everything is beautiful even down for the chopsticks and napkins, which is a really nice touch. The food is delicious and fresh! We got sushi and chicken teriyaki, and both plates were just stunning with big portions and great quality. I highly recommend! Great ambiance as well.

Really nice BYOB spot with clean and friendly service and absolutely delicious food. Nothing crazy fancy, which I love but they have fantastic presentation

Attentive servers, straight-from-China decor, American style sushi. Potstickers looked like store bought. Katsu was generous, no curry or katsu sauce, served with teriyaki instead and tiny bowl of rice but was fine. Customers seemed happy, might be perfect for Conshy crowd.

Great new sushi place that Conshohocken desperately needed! Tasted fresh and delicious

the food was great the sushi was amazing the tofu was great and the mochis were really good the people here are really kind and helpful it was amazing

The food is fabulous. Amazing customer service. I would not hesitate to recommend the restaurant to anyone. We ordered takeout and loved it. Tables are nicely spaced and overall a calm vibe.

This is my new go-to sushi restaurant! I had the salmon crunch roll and sweet potato roll. The fish was incredibly flavorful and the sweet potato was so fresh, the tempura was still warm - really delicious. This place also puts a lot of care into the details which made the dining experience equally as impressive. I will 100% be coming back soon!
