Akeno Sushi Brings Asian Fusion to Old Town's King Street
A new family-run restaurant is set to open in Old Town before the end of the month. Akeno Sushi will take over the space at 611 King Street, previously occupied by Java Grill. The venue promises a mix of Japanese, Chinese, and Thai dishes in a spacious dining room. The restaurant is co-owned by Eakachai 'Sean' Promsiri, a seasoned restaurateur, alongside his wife Ekon Promsiri and two business partners, Sittiporn Anegvithakosol and Sicha McKinney. Together, they aim to bring a familiar yet fresh dining experience to the neighbourhood.
The two-storey location will feature a full-service bar and sushi counter on the ground floor. Upstairs, the dining area will seat between 110 and 130 guests, offering ample space for both casual meals and larger gatherings. The menu will mirror the offerings at Akeno’s other branches, blending sushi rolls, Japanese specialities, and traditional Thai dishes. Promsiri has emphasised the importance of community ties, hoping the new spot will become a local favourite.
Akeno Sushi plans to welcome its first customers by the end of the month. The opening fills a long-standing vacancy on King Street while expanding the area’s dining options. With its mix of cuisines and generous seating, the restaurant is poised to attract both regulars and newcomers.
