Food: Bluefin Tuna Wasabi Roll - spicy kick from wasabi but not overpowering. really tasty and flavorful! fav roll!

Went to AKA with a group of 7 people. It was quiet on a Monday night and there was no wait. Interior is chic. We ordered 7 different kinds of specialty rolls and devoured them all. Everything was fresh and tasty. We also had the garlic edamame which was good and several order miso soup or salad and those got thumbs up too. Service was attentive and friendly. Overall it's a nice, relaxed spot for sushi if you are in the Gaslamp district.

My husband and I came for restaurant week and ordered a couple things and it's honestly way too expensive for the quality that you get.

But our bill was $300 for 4 drinks, 2 restaurant week dinners which was about $54 per person and an a la carte appetizer. The drinks are all about $18+. All in all, I wanted to try AKA bc it remin... read more

I came here with a group of girls to celebrate a birthday. We had reservations & were seated about 2 minutes upon arrival. The server told us it was a busy night & drink orders may be a bit backed up. I appreciate it when servers give us a heads up so we're not left wondering why the drinks are taking so long. Crab Fried Rice: I normally avoid fried rice dishes because they're usually so basic, but I think this was actually everyone's favorite dish. I was surprised by how flavorful it was. I would definitely order this aga... read more

Business response:

Food was good however the chicken kaarage came out a bit cold for what is advertised as a Hot menu item. Our waiter Cru was very knowledgeable about the menu and made very good drink and food recommendations. 

Business response:

Thanks for sharing your experience with us, Justin! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food overall and that Cru took great care of you with thoughtful recommendations - we'll be sure to pass along the compliment. We're sorry the chicken karaage wasn't as hot as expected and appreciate the feedback. We hope to welcome you back again soon for an even better visit!

Great food - got the Pad Thai and super delicious. Our waiter, Marco, was always on it and super attentive throughout our meal! Ambiance was a little dead and too quiet until after sundown.
