Akebono is my favorite restaurant on Long Island. As someone who takes great joy in going out to eat, Akebono is a real gem. I used to live in NYC, and enjoyed eating at some of the city's best restaurants.

Eventually they fixed what they did which took a couple of days still making me pay for my food even after having to wait and deal with the bank to make sure that everything was handled correctly. As a loyal customer who has been coming here for 4 years since they opened you do not rob your customers. I am very sad about what happened but it did. Please be on the lookout the hospitality...
