Aka has quickly become one of my favorite spots for sushi. The fish is always super fresh, the rolls are creative without trying too hard, and everything is beautifully presented. The ambiance is exactly what you want -- modern, comfortable, and FUN -- perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a date night. My server marco was excellent I'll be back soon

Emily is the best bartender. She guided us through the sushi menu. Took great care of us and showed everyone a great time. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The Palomas were inspired. Would definitely return.

Our waiter, Cru was amazing -- super friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful. He took the time to walk us through the menu, gave great recommendations (especially for my brother who'd never tried this type of food before), and made the whole experience so enjoyable. You could tell he really cared about making sure we had a great time. He definitely deserves the recognition! 

Business response:

Kara, we’re so happy to hear Cru made such a great impression! His kindness, patience, and care truly reflect the kind of experience we strive to give every guest. Thanks for sharing your visit with us we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. Hope to see you again soon!

Emily was absolutely amazing! From the moment I sat down, she made me feel welcome and taken care of. Her energy was upbeat, and she really knew her way around the bar -- every drink came out perfectly balanced. The food was just as good -- fresh, flavorful, and came out hot. You can tell the kitchen and bar work well together. If you stop by, definitely ask for Emily -- she'll make sure your whole experience is top-tier. 

Business response:

Love hearing this, Janiyah! We're so glad Emily made you feel welcome and delivered such a top-tier experience. It’s wonderful to know the food and drinks hit the mark too. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the team. Hope to have you back again soon!

Came to San Diego last min and was not distracted. Searched up "best places in San Diego" TikTok and this place popped up. The warm welcome from Kelsey alone brightened up our mood, but Johnny and Miguel the bartenders made my wife and I feel like locals. Food, drinks and ambiance 12/10 will definitely come back next time we're in town ! Sam Diego staple! 

Business response:

Hi Alec, thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled you and your wife had such a great time with Kelsey, Johnny, and Miguel - they’ll be so happy to hear this! We're glad AKA helped make your spontaneous San Diego trip memorable. Can’t wait to welcome you both back soon!
