Restore Akari Express: Fire Recovery Fund

Around 1:00am of May 2nd, our restaurant was tragically damaged by a fire. While insurance will help cover a portion of the loss, we still facing a $80,000 gap to replace essential equipment and complete necessary construction to reopen.

We've only been open for 8 months, and it's heartbreaking to face something like this. This restaurant is more than just a business—it's a place full of memories, built with love and shared with every customer who walked through our doors. Over these months, we've met so many kind, supportive, and generous people. Your encouragement has meant the world to us, and it's what keeps us moving forward.

We really hope to restore the space and spirit of our restaurant as soon as possible, so we can once again welcome you all with warmth and good food. If you are able to contribute, every little bit helps, and I'm truly grateful for any support you can give. Thank you for your generosity, kindness, and helping us during this difficult time.
