Menus

  • Cuisine

    This venue serves Japanese food.

  • A word from the chef:

    At Akatuki, every dish is rooted in Japanese tradition and crafted with precision. Our sushi is formed by hand — fresh fish, perfectly seasoned rice, nothing wasted. The yakisoba noodles are tossed over fierce heat with a rich, smoky sauce that coats every strand. Sukiyaki brings people together — tender beef simmered in a sweet-savoury broth, meant to be shared slowly. Our donburi bowls are deeply satisfying; honest Japanese comfort in its purest form. And the Wagyu on hot stone — premium beef brought to your table still searing, caramelising before your eyes. An experience as much as a dish. Seasonal. Soulful. Precise. Welcome to Akatuki.
