What Joanne Ludowyk doesn't like about Akemi:
We've been here a few times and this time was the best. Our group ordered a variety of things and all of them were good. They have an extensive sushi/roll menu but also enough other things for those in our group who didn't eat sushi. View all feedback. What martina merkel likes about Akemi:
Truly excellent and sometimes unusual Japanese food, especially the cucumber salad and the delightfully light and crisp shrimp tempura. Service was quick and non-obtrusive. The noise from conversations around us made it hard to hear my dinner partner. I recommend highly! View all feedback.

Our new to go sushi spot in Berkeley. The staff is always friendly and the food is always top notch. Love the variations of nigiris and rolls!
