The special rolls are amazing, the salmon is very fresh and there is not a lot of rice but overall is amazing. Kinda the best sushi in melbourne i have ever tasted haha.
But the miso steak is not good, it is very dry, chewy and rough. Okami is better haha,
“5. Akiya Special Roll“ is SUPER GOOD
others are okay~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My absolute favorite sushi for many years now! Never disappoints!
Coming back for the first time after they closed for a small period. They had improved a lot! From food to hygiene or even services!
Really love to rate them more than 5 stars!
The sashimi plater was my all time favourite!
Well done to the new management
Booked online for a Friday dinner. The restaurant is large and the staff are lovely. We had an excellent miso beef and few smaller starters; gyozas, yakitori, and a salami plate (which was fresh and delicious). Large drinks menu and a fair few sakes available too.
The sashimi was deliciously fresh. The crispy chicken California roll was uber fresh and tasty. The service was lovely
Highly recommend this hidden gem.
The beef and salmon tataki were both Devine and tasty
Ordered takeaway & the Bento Box was delicious. Sashimi was fresh & the tuna sushi was great. The Horenso Spinach was surprisingly tasty. Just lovely
Great food and reasonably priced for Japanese in the area. Akiya special platter is my regular order for 2 ppl. The Special rolls are fantastic.
Grab bento boxes from here all the time. Love my Japanese food and their bento is right up there for quality and variety. Beautiful teppanyaki chicken, sashimi is on point - and don't know what a previous reviewer was on about with his gyoza comments - they are some of the best I've had. As far as bentos, sushi and sashimi goes, if you enjoy your Japanese I'd be surprised if you didn't enjoy this place. Cheers for the good food and good prices
We had dinner here for the first time tonight. They served us complementary bean sprout salad and edamame beans. We had the sushi & sashimi platter - this was fresh and tasty. For main we had the miso steak, vegetable salad and steamed rice. The miso steak was cooked medium rare as requested and the salad was fresh and had a tasty dressing.
What I would like to mention was the great service provide by the staff. They were very polite and courteous - it really makes a difference for me.
Overall it was a good experience and we would go back.
Been rolling with the takeaway bento boxes for years. They changed hands last year but quality remains. They are terrific. Filling and delicious.
We love going there!. My wife and I visit this restaurant reasonably often and always enjoy the experience.
Friendly staff, attentive service, consistently good food served in meal size portions and reasonably priced.
Had the banquet for two and enjoyed every course. Service was top notch with no long wait in between courses.
Will definitely go again.
Went back. We went back again after frequenting this restaurant for years, and it seemed to have dropped of a year ago, coming back was delighted they have gotten they're act together again, with fantastic fresh produce and authentic cuisine, thank you as i have always loved it here
I had a party here for fourteen people last night - including three children and people with lots of different tastes. I left the menu entirely up to the Akiya manager and she brought us dish after dish of simple fresh food - so much good fresh seafood. my family was full, everyone was well looked after and I have never experienced a venue with customer service as good as this.
Great option. One of the best and most affordable japanese restaurants around. The attention couldn't be better. My favourite place for an impromptu dinner. They have never let me down. The prawn special roll is a must have.
A great local!. Love the sushi/sashimi and always have great hot specials. Everything is super fresh and meals are delivered in a timely manner. Only problem with this place is getting a table without a booking!
Fantastic service & delicious, fresh food! Great vegetarian options...every time I have been here, I have loved it!
Delicious. Been going to Akiya for years and always good. The sushi and sashimi platter which comes in a wooden boat is delicious, so is the miso and the beef tataki. Highly recommend. We were in and out in a hour as the service is great. Very attentive and friendly
Evening dining. It is a restaurant with character and has a friendly atmosphere. If I felt asked for extra condiments, they would be gladly provided and offered. Over Mother's Day they did a package lunch and it went down well with the families that were there. In terms of the food, it does go down very well with the locals and there are a variety of excellent wines that complements the meal.
I'm not a big fan of travelling to the burbs for food and Japanese is not my favourite cusine but all that changed when i discovered Akiya. Its worth the drive and the tempura and the Akiya special is heaven. Its a ceramic boat filled with sushi, sashimi and the special reverse roll. It's amazing and I highly recommend
Came here for dinner for the first time in months and found it disappointing. Food was bland, main beef teppenyaki was very salty and service a tad slow. Sakuraya across the road is kicking Akiya's butt!

Big in Japan. Akiya is clearly well-liked by Brighton residents, including many AFL players from a certain club that are known to "come marching in". The friendly owner does a good job of making regulars feel welcome, and the overall vibe is warm and relaxed.
I enjoyed a wonderful evening at Akiya recently, although I must say that the superb wine and great company probably overshadowed much of the menu I sampled.
Things started off fine with a very nice plate of sashimi, and having demolished the first serve we proceeded to repeat the dose.
I was less excited about the gyoza, as the filling was more like a stodgy commercial dim sim, rather than the lighter contents normally present in a good gyoza.
The tempura I tried was too heavily battered, spoiling the essence of good tempura which is clearly that lovely, translucent, crisp coating.
Sizzling platters of Teriyaki beef and chicken were satisfactory, but not thrilling, and seemed to be crying out for some vegetables.
Whilst undoubtedly a popular venue with warm & friendly service, I felt the 'cooked selections' ordered didn't quite hit the mark. Perhaps I need to focus on the sushi, sashimi and maki rolls on future visits.
Be back soon. Eat here on the 25 jan and it was great, friendly helpfull service, the dumplings and the fish age were a good choice as a starter and did not disapoint
One word - wow!. We just had takeaway and it was GREAT! We ordered the agedashi tofu (yum!) the Akiya Special Platter which included mouthwatering sushi, sashimi and california rolls, and the salmon teriyaki matched with steamed rice - fantastic! The best Japanese in the bayside area and the best prices too. Our favourite.
Order through UberEats and even though it takes some time and is delivered by the restaurant itself, which is fine, it always arrives fresh hot and tasty. The sashimi and salmon is perfect and even the Tempura is great. 10/10
Delicious Bento boxes, great value for money!
Curry Katsu Don was also tasty!! My kids loved it.
Ordered twice from here after lockdown 5.
Great sushi. Freshly prepared to order, great range and delicious.
