Description
Aki serves fresh, flavorful Asian fare—sushi, Thai dishes, tempura and generous bento boxes—at reasonable prices. The cozy, recently remodeled space and consistently friendly staff make it a neighborhood favorite for families and groups, with popular sushi platters and bubble tea. Occasional inconsistencies appear in presentation and portioning, and a few dishes show odd ingredient choices. On-site parking is limited, but overall the welcoming atmosphere, variety and value keep diners coming back.

The restaurant has a beautiful interior, and the food was delicious. The waitress was very friendly! I highly recommend it and will definitely return for more! Food rating: 5/5.
Aki is an excellent value for money. The portion sizes are impressive, and the food is quite tasty. I usually order the tempura, which I really enjoy. The restaurant is a bit small, but that often means it's one of the hidden gems. I can't comment much on the cleanliness since the lobby area is minimal. The staff at Aki are very friendly, making the experience even better. Overall, it's a great place to grab a delicious meal at a reasonable price.
The fried calamari was just a mass of breadcrumbs that looked ridiculous, with long squiggly shapes instead of the usual round pieces. The portion size wasn't justified for the price either. The beef udon was decent, but the beef pieces were tiny, about the size of a pinky nail. Still, it tasted good. The General Tso’s chicken was enjoyable, but I could do without the pineapple, which I had never seen in that dish before. The Crab Rangoon was quite good, and the egg roll was fine, but the eel roll was mostly avocado, as you can see in the picture. It's disappointing that this place has such high ratings. I’m just being honest; it felt like a waste of time, similar to the spot called O Town right next door. Both places are highly rated, but it seems to be mainly by locals, and neither is worth a second visit for me. Never again!
The food was freshly prepared and tasted amazing. The service was excellent. Overall rating: 5/5 for the food.
I visited the restaurant for the first time and ordered gyoza (dumplings) along with a bento box that included miso soup, which arrived before the bento. I enjoyed the gyoza so much that I forgot to take a picture! Everything was absolutely delicious! The menu offers a wonderful variety of options, the food was of excellent quality, and the service was friendly. I highly recommend Aki and will definitely be back.
