We have always been pleased with our service and food from Akahana. The menu is a little overwhelming with so many delicious options, but the Pho and sushi are really delicious!! (however, beware that their jalapenos are HOT!) We always sit in the bar area, so I think its ideal for a casual, weekend late lunch or girls get together before going out. Not exactly my idea of a romantic date spot; however, I haven't been there during dinner rush so I could be very wrong.  I will be returning though! Thanks for great food and great service guys!
