“ -The quality of fish is exceptional. Nigiri is on par or even better than places 2-3x the price. -Seating is rather limited; if you plan to go during peak hours, call ahead to reserve a seat. New go-to spot ”
“ Food is always amazing, see my attached photos. We got a mix of rolls nigiri and starters and the green tea ice cram is a nice touch at the end! Service was great, they attended us right away and recommended an amazing sake. The place is very intimate and cozy, the music and vide is perfect. Chef always had great fish on the menu, definitely recommend this place to anyone who has not tried it!!! ”
“ The restaurant is small and cozy, but the food is delicious. Always enjoy our meals here, but the service is a bit slow. I think there's only one waitress and two support staff aside from the sushi chefs. It's a great neighborhood gem. ”
“ I'm actually still shocked with how full I left after my $99 (before tip and taxes) omakase here! This is probably the best value i've found in the bay area for an omakase !!! 3 appetizers, full cooked salmon dish, salmon carpaccio dish, mini chirashi don, 10 pieces of assorted nigiri AND dessert !!! Everything was super tasty, they have parking on site and the staff are very attentive and explain all the dishes when presenting them. ”
“ This is one of the cutest, family owned restaurants I've been to, and the owners were so welcoming. The fish was very fresh and high quality (the portions were pretty generous as well). We ordered a spicy tuna handroll, jumping jalapeño, kaisen, and an asparagus roll (all of them were so yum). ”
“ WOWOWOW what an amazing experience each time. I have no complaints or suggestions for this restaurant. The ambiance is relaxed, cozy, clean. The chef always greets us with a huge smile and the servers are always the sweetest and very accommodating. Between the 2 of us, we shared: Wakame salad Redwood city roll Baked salmon roll Sake sashimi Salmon belly sashimi Hamachi sashimi 3 negitoro hand rolls And they finish off the experience with complimentary green tea ice cream. Thank you Akami!!! ”
“ Delicious hole-in-the-wall sushi spot. Small business, very fresh fish and great service. There was a convenient parking lot in the front, and the prices were decent. Will be coming back very soon. ”
