I've driven past Akashi for years and something about the place's run-down, anime-baby-geisha adorned exterior located about a foot or two off South Dixie Hwy (I don't trust Miami drivers and I'd hate...

Top 3 best in Miami. Try the Alex #2 and the ginger dressing on the salad. Expect long waits for dinner.

Akashi has been completely remodeled. It looks beautiful, but they have done nothing to fix their service. In fact, it's worse than ever. I hate to bring Akashi down to 3 stars, but they deserve it....
