Akai Hana Restaurant in Wilmette is an average suburban sushi restaurant. The interior is a little dated. Standard menu. They have a decent lunch menu and offered reasonably priced lunch combos. and we ordered lunches off of the menu. Food was served quickly Parking was easy. This restaurant seems to be a local favorite to grab lunch and to satisfy their craving for sushi and Japanese food.

Akai Hana has been in business for over 30 years, and the steady traffic means the sushi is fresh and safe, offered at a good price. However, the ambiance is lacking, with an outdated, cafeteria-like vibe and cheap-looking menus. It’s a solid spot for a quick, no-frills sushi meal, but not the place for a special dining experience.

Went for Mother’s Day lunch. I haven’t been to Akai Hana for 17 years so was nervous if the quality and service was still the same. Since it was lunch, we all got the set menu items (bento and sushi set) along with some rolls. We were all very happy with our meals. Tasted really good, price was reasonable and the service was quick. Will definitely come back to try other items. It says a lot about a restaurant that can stay open for so many years, even thru a pandemic 👍
