A Taste of Tradition

Akai Hana - Celebrating Over 30 Years of Japanese Cuisine in the Heart of Wilmette

The Akai Hana Story


Since 1992, Akai Hana has been delighting Wilmette with fresh, flavorful sushi and authentic Japanese cuisine.

What began as a small neighborhood spot is now a cherished destination, thanks to a loyal following that appreciates our dedication to quality and Japan's vibrant, healthful flavors.

Our chefs are highly trained in the art of sushi, tempura, udon, ramen, and more, creating an experience that is as quick as it is exceptional.

We’re honored to be a trusted favorite across generations and take pride in our guests' warm recommendations.

At Akai Hana, each customer is truly precious, and we look forward to serving you with the same passion and care for years to come.
