Since opening in 2011, Akashi Sushi has been serving sushi and more to Kingwood area residents. Sushi lovers will appreciate the restaurant’s lengthy sushi menu. You'll find all the standard sushi rolls, of course, but you'll also find signature rolls like Japanese Lasagna, which mixes crab meat with avocado, then tops it with a baked layer of cream cheese and house-made mayo. Or try the crispy Las Vegas roll with chopped salmon and tuna, bell pepper, green onion, jalapeno, honey wasabi, strawberry, and eel sauce.

If that's enough to get your creative juices flowing, try designing your own custom sushi roll. Once you've decided what flavors you want to combine, just send your request to the kitchen where it will be made and promptly sent out to your table. Akashi also includes many other menu items for diners who prefer cooked food, too. Sweet sesame chicken is always a favorite, as is the spicy salt and pepper shrimp, stir fried with garlic, ginger, and plenty of fresh black pepper.

At Akashi, the environment is as much of a draw as the sushi. Despite sitting smack dab in the middle of Kingwood, Akashi looks more like the upscale sushi joint you'd find in SoHo, thanks to a chic black bar under-lit with blue lights. Customers say that they come for the atmosphere, as well as the food. 

Perhaps that's because you can build-your-own sushi roll, filled with high quality, fresh ingredients. Or maybe the eatery's popularity is due to the Volcano Roll or Mongolian beef entree, both must-eats according to customer reviews. Either way, it'd be hard to scan its entire Japanese and Chinese menus without finding a sushi roll or kitchen dish to suit your taste.
