Akasaka Northampton

Akasaka is a Japanese restaurant in Northampton, I don’t normally eat Japanese food, now I definitely do, chop sticks is the way to go. The restaurant is really nicely decorated with a lovely ambiance, one tip don’t take the table by the door as it does get draftly. The service is excellent, attentive and helpful, the food is cooked with fresh ingredients, it’s tasty and the portion size is generous, my recommendation is try using the chop sticks for the full experience, I definitely recommend and I will return

First time visiting Akasaka last night in Northampton, we'd never heard of it before but what a great find. Food was fantastic, staff were very helpful. All round great night

As this restaurant has been established in Northampton since 2017 and we have never been, we decided to give it a try. We booked a table for 9pm on a Saturday night and were greeted by a happy and helpful member of staff. They showed us to our table which was right near the front door, which felt like it was in the waiting area so we declined that and asked to sit further inside which was no problem. When seated the waitress said we shut at 10, so we knew then we had an hour. Thanks. The decor is a bit bland but spotless. The large tiled floor makes it feel cold and was really slippery to walk on. There were 3 other tables in use and seemed quite empty. The service was a little quick as they wanted us out within the hour and whilst we were eating they were clearing up around us which made us feel uncomfortable. I ordered the beef bulgogi with boiled rice and my wife had the chicken teriyaki with boiled rice. Both meals arrived quite quickly, tasted fresh and were nice. The portions were not too large and just right for us. We decided against staying for any desserts. The total price came to £43.90 including a glass of wine each, which I think is quite reasonable. Overall the experience was good and we will probably visit again.

Amazing food every time... never a bad meal and the service is always friendly and super swift! The spicy chicken ramen absolutely hit the spot today!

Welcomed by Jasmine on our arrival and promptly seated, despite the fact we were early! Jasmine and Kelly took very good care of us throughout, which was great because we had no idea what we were doing! Jasmine was able to advise on dishes and beverages which was really helpful. Food and drinks arrived promptly, and the food was perfectly cooked, looked fabulous and tasted delicious. Prices were reasonable and the menu has a good selection to suit most people. Highly recommended! 😎

We have been to Akasaka multiple times and the food is always very good no matter what you order. They are able to customise the dish to your taste / needs. The staff are very friendly and provide great service.

The place was good. Good food. Starter was great! Loved the sushi! Main was lovely. I had Korean marinated beef with boiled rice. The food portions were too large for me. Service was ok but not great. We had to ask them for the desert menu and noone came to get our order. We ended up leaving without having any desert. The desert was very limited just ice creams and one type of cheese cake. I expected more.

Delicious freshly made food 😋 Bit pricey. Nice decor and good atmosphere. Place is very clean
