Akame Sushi (Kenosha) – Full Review
Address: 6914 Green Bay Rd, Kenosha, WI 53142
Always double-check before you go. Overview
Akame is one of the newest sushi spots to land in Kenosha, and it came in loud — an all-you-can-eat sushi concept with a big, modern menu and a space that looks fresher than a lot of older local places.
They already have locations in other Midwest cities, so this Kenosha spot isn’t a total experiment — it’s a brand bringing its model here.
What makes it interesting for Kenosha is that it sits right in the middle of a local sushi scene people already like (Honada, Soons, Sooshibay), so Akame has to win on variety, freshness, and vibe — and from early reactions, that’s pretty much what’s happening.
Local folks on Reddit were literally saying, “AYCE sushi in Kenosha? Other places are in trouble.” Atmosphere & Location
The restaurant is on Green Bay Rd, near other retail (one listing even says “next to Petco”), and people note that it’s clean, remodeled, and modern — not a dark old strip-mall sushi joint.
It looks like they wanted it to feel a little “big city” but still casual enough for families.
That makes it a good pick for birthday dinners, girl’s night, or “we just want sushi and a lot of it.” The Menu (and How AYCE Works)
From their main site/menu, Akame runs a large menu — 200+ items across rolls, appetizers, sashimi, teriyaki, hibachi-style entrees, even udon/soba.
The Kenosha page mirrors that format. You order in rounds, and they make everything fresh. That’s important — some AYCE places pre-make; Akame appears to make to order.
Things you’ll see on the menu:
Because it’s AYCE, the value is in being able to try a bunch of different rolls without getting stuck paying $14–$16 per roll like you would at a traditional spot. Price / Value
Locals online guessed and later confirmed that the price would land in the $20–$40 per person range, depending on lunch vs dinner — which is pretty normal for Midwest AYCE and still cheaper than a Chicago AYCE night out.
Some people did mention that this price point could “scare off” folks who are used to grabbing quick lunch sushi in Kenosha, but most agreed if the quality stays high, it’s fair.
So the value equation is:
Food Quality
Early diners are saying the same things: “fresh, clean, nicely plated, fast service.” One map/listing review said the place was “very clean and nicely remodeled” and that the staff was “wonderful and polite.”
That’s a good sign for a new restaurant still dialing things in.
Because Akame is part of a wider group (you can see Appleton, Eau Claire, Maple Grove on the same site), they likely have consistent recipes and ordering, which helps them keep quality steady. ServiceMultiple public listings mention friendly, fast, accommodating service. That matters more at an AYCE, because bad service = long gaps between rounds = bad experience.Akame seems to understand this and keeps things moving.How It Compares
Kenosha already has loyalists to spots like Honada and Soons — people even said on Reddit, “I’ll never stop going there.”
So Akame doesn’t replace those; it becomes the “let’s go eat a LOT of sushi” option. If they keep the quality of rolls high, they could become the go-to for groups and weekend nights. Things to Know Before You Go
Pros & Cons

Cons
Verdict
Akame Sushi is a welcome addition to Kenosha’s food scene — especially because it fills a gap: modern, all-you-can-eat sushi in a clean, updated space.
If you love trying different rolls or you’re going out with a group, it’s absolutely worth a visit.
If you’re just craving a single spicy tuna roll, one of the older spots might still make more sense that day. |
