Akai Lounge - Scarsdale 57 Spencer Place, Scarsdale, NY 10583

"The sushi was superb, undoubtedly the finest in Westchester. Unfortunately, the service was awkward and uncomfortable; our server appeared, stared at us without a word, took our order, and abruptly left. It was a peculiar experience, and obtaining the check took ages with no follow-up. The restaurant ambiance felt off due to overly bright lights, making the evening less comfortable. Additionally, the decor was unappealing."

"Chicken tempura roll is one of the best if not the best I’ve ever had."

"Full sushi restaurant in Scardale. Extensive menu, including non sushi items, from gyoza (pot stickers), udon, teriyaki. Service was friendly, and efficient. The clam soup was very fresh and full of flavor. The sushi selection was wide. Every sushi, roll we had was fresh, and nicely cut /prepared. Moichi dessert was pretty good, though lost in all the whipped cream."

"I’ve been accustomed to unlimited sushi restaurants in the past but once I gave Akai a try, I can’t get over what a difference in quality I experienced. I’ve gone to Akai a number of times for dinner and lunch and I haven’t been disappointed yet. I will say the servers definitely try to upsell sushi experiences but it’s for a decent reason…the omakase offered is the way to go. Some of the fish pictured includes toro with gold flakes, rosy sea bass, and shima aji. For lunch, I’ve ordered the chicken katsu which was very generously portions and fried to a crisp. I plan to keep Akai in my Westchester County sushi rotation."

"Some of the best sushi I've ever had and I've had lots. Even my picky teen son was impressed. Owner and all staff are amazingly attentive, courteous, clean and very mindful of the precautions needed to ensure a safe indoor dining experience during these times."
