The signature don comes with a generous portion of assorted tempura — literally everything in this bowl is tempura battered and fried (except for the rice). Not only do you get a good selection of vegetables and seafood, you also get this AMAZING deep fried egg poached egg that’s super runny when you break into it.

The ebi chicken don is a good choice for people who don’t want to waste time with useless things like vegetables. You don’t get a fried egg, but you get lots of fried chicken and prawns, though the fried chicken leaves a little to be desired. Sauce up with this amazing mayonnaise — think potato salad without the potato. It’s got onions and boiled egg mixed in, and adds a coolness to the otherwise heavy fried toppings.

Another great thing about Akimitsu is that you get to choose what type of rice you want, so you can order multigrain rice to make yourself feel better about ordering an otherwise totally unhealthy dish.

While it is a little pricey, the deep fried pork cutlet is fried to perfection, neither too fatty nor oily. It’s topped with a generous portion of kombu (kelp) and oroshi (grated daikon radish), and served with a (refillable!) side of cabbage, all of which help to cut through the rich taste of the pork cutlet. You get the choice of brown or white rice on the side, which serves as the perfect complement to the dish.

Good on its own, but very filling. Don’t order anything else with it or you’ll be super full.

Superior Lobster Ramen with Onsen Egg ($28.80)

The lobster ramen was /thicc/ — a mixture of tonkotsu and lobster broth, it was rich and flavourful and didn’t leave us feeling thirsty the way some ramen broths do. 10/10 would return for the ramen.
