I wish I had taken photos when the food first arrived, but honestly, the empty plates probably say even more than any picture could. From the first bite to the last, everything was absolutely delicious. The Akamaru Don was packed with flavor and perfectly balanced — fresh, rich, and incredibly satisfying. The Unagi Don was just as impressive, with tender, beautifully grilled eel and just the right amount of sauce over fluffy rice. Every bite was comforting and memorable. You know a place is good when the dishes come back com... read more

Came for lunch on a Saturday and was sat at the bar right away. Their service is quick, efficient, and friendly. This place is very clean. Food came out quickly and was very high quality. I got a hojicha latte, Akamaru don, and a chicken karaage onigirazu (to go). The hojicha latte was very good - you could taste the tea and they perfectly balanced the sugar. The Akamaru don was perfect and well balanced with quality fish and great rice. The chicken karaage was also a great snack for later. Highly recommend this place!!!

Friendly, warm and inviting little bistro style place. I came by myself for lunch and had the Spicy Salmon and Avocado Handroll, the Lunch set which was miso soup, seaweed salad and another little salad something gobo as well as the Hot Gyokuro tea. The Miso is excellent, clearly homemade, just the right umami flavor with a perfect salt level. As a tea snob myself the Hot Gyokuro tea was a special treat and the service was warm and notably good. The Handroll was prepared in a way that I wasn't quite used to, not the typical ... read more

OMG this place is SO GOOD! I've already been here twice in just three days, that's how obsessed I am. The owners are Japanese and really friendly, and the restaurant is small but bright, clean, and very comfy. I love that it's not dark inside because I like to actually see what I'm eating. You can make reservations on Google, which is great because it gets busy fast. The space isn't big, so definitely book ahead if you don't want to wait. For food, we tried the Akamaru Don with UNI and the UNI + Ikura Don, and everything w... read more

I headed over to Akamaru in Scottsdale today for a Japanese food fix. I showed up starving, and even though the photos don't quite show it, the portions were way bigger than I expected. Of course, I still managed to finish all three dishes—it was too good to leave anything behind! Everything tasted amazing, and there are so many other things on the menu I still want to try. *The only two things I would say is the Gyu Don visually looked dry but let me tell you, it was juicy & delicious. I was also expecting the Chashu Don... read more
