Akai Lounge is one of those good places to eat in downtown Westfield, in the form of a Japanese bistro. It's appetizers and entries are uniquely interesting and I've heard the sushi is great too (another star after trying). The ambiance inside is unassuming, with red decor, rather small but cozy sitting and nice music selection. In good weather one can enjoy curbside sitting. The bar is -by the small size and looks, completely deceiving: they make original and interesting Martinis and cocktails (try Samurai 9), as well as regular drinks (Dry Martinis, better than in other places). Clearly, the best original cocktails you can have. Also, their sushi is the best in the area among good competitors in Cranford, Scotch Plains and North Edison. Fresh, creative and delicious. Go and try it. The service is always, effective, timely and unobtrusive.

My girlfriend and I recently moved to the area and have been looking for a good sushi spot. This place is expensive, but it's great and fresh so it's worth it! They have soooo many rolls to choose from. The spicy shrimp appetizer was great too and it's a plus that they have cocktails and beers and other drinks you can order. Our server was great too and very friendly and helpful our first time going. We also did take out another time and it was great. We will definitely be back!

Huge fan of Akai! The food is always phenomenal and service is excellent. Been going to the Akai family of restaurants for years and they never disappoint. The portions are substantial so the price/value is totally worth it. You never leave hungry and always with some to bring home. Easily my favorite place to go out for great sushi and drinks.

Excellent atmosphere and great food with a diverse drink menu. The sushi and main courses are very good. The ambience is quite nice. This is a nice place for a date night or a small family outing 🌃.

We love Akai. Staff always super friendly. Sushi is fresh. They let you be creative with your rolls. Drinks are so good too. We have made this a regular spot. The whole family loves from age 9 to 46😀
