Akamaru Japanese Restaurant is an eatery that blends traditional Japanese flavors with modern innovation. Hiro, the chef and owner, has both small kitchen training in Japan as well as in some of the top omakase restaurants in New York City.
The restaurant offers two distinct experiences for customers. Visitors can get dishes like onigirazu rice sandwiches and donburi rice bowls during lunch. However when evening strikes, Akamaru’s menu transforms to focus on small bites, including sashimi, crispy tempura and other shareable plates.
Akamaru is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for lunch and reopens from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. for dinner.
