Akai Hana is more than great sushi. It's great service, great atmosphere, and great prices. The miso soup is the best I've had in the Triangle (seasoned perfectly). The sushi rolls are always fresh and beautifully presented. What I especially love is the friendliness of the waitstaff and the speed of service. You'll never wait more than 15 minutes for your sushi to be brought to the table, no matter how crowded the restaurant is. Their menu is expansive, with a variety of tempura and other dinner options, but I love their sushi so much that I've never tried anything else. Regardless, I've never NOT been pleased with my dining experience here. The best sushi place in Chapel Hill.
Pros: Excellent service, excellent food, excellent prices
Cons: few parking spaces in the front of the restaurant, but there's plenty across the street.
