Reviews for Akai Hana Restaurant in Wilmette, IL

Good restaurant! Went for lunch and liked both food and service!

The good and service were excellent even though they claim to be short staffed. Very polite and friendly. The agedashi tofu... and teriyaki mushroom appetizers were delicious. I also enjoyed the Yakisoba chicken and tempura. Read more

Delicious, good quality and fair prices. Recommendation: I understand that you are very busy which can be stressful. Today I... came in and asked for which selection is the fastest for 'to go', which you said would be 10-15 minutes. It took 5 minutes!Thank you for your consideration. We'll be back again! Read more

Food has been decent over the years but our regular group went there last night and our server was practically pushing us out... the door at 7:40 because they close at 8PM. We were done eating, just chatting and she was standing there waiting for payment.Do better. Read more

Still pretty good food but quite salty this time around. The kitchen has had a lot of turnovers in the last 25 years but post... pandemic the flavorings and freshness of the sushi is a bit less than ideal. Read more

Great place for some japanese food. Plenty of choices from sushi to udon.You can find what you are craving for. Plum wine and... little desert will finish of your meal. Service is pleasent and attentive. Read more

The restaurant is on a good location with a large parking lot. I ordered a sushi deluxe special, which was really good. The... other items in the menu looked great as well. For me personally, the customer service was not good and my server was not sohelpful. The prices look reasonable. Read more

Decent Japanese Place to Dine. I actually have been dining here for Japanese Cuisine but some of the quality had gone down a... star. I had gone here today on my B-day for Lunch with family and I still give it 3 stars. The sushi is good but decided to gofor the Bento Box special for Orange Roughy fish and maki rolls lunch time. I had their tempura ice cream which is similar tofried ice cream which was delicious. All and all I had a decent meal for my birthday but I notice the staff and some of thecuisines are not as good as it used to be back in 2002-2003. Wish they did not close their grocery store next door because theysold authentic Japanese merchandise. Now I got to travel to Mitsuwa Marketplace (AKA Yohuan) in Arlington Heights,IL for realJapanese made products both food and other specials. Read more
