Description

Despite mixed reviews, Akari in London offers a variety of Japanese dishes, from sashimi to tempura with original twists. Service has reportedly been a hit or miss, with some diners noting slow service and rude staff. The lack of Japanese kitchen staff affects the authenticity of the food. However, others have praised the delicious sushi and sashimi, with friendly service and a cozy atmosphere inside. While some say it's overpriced for mediocre food, some still consider Akari a local favorite for quality Japanese cuisine.

My husband and I stopped by for lunch and had a delightful meal. Everything we ordered was delicious! We highly recommend this place and will definitely return next time we are in the area.

We had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. Our favorite dishes included the Aburi truffle tuna, wagyu, assorted nigiri, and salmon roe. The cocktails were delicious and reasonably priced, and the service was welcoming and friendly.

Food was fresh. Service was below par. No atmosphere. Not particularly welcoming. Menu is not terribly long but good enough. Not sure I'd go back.
