we went here for the first time for my birthday weekend and everything was fabulous. The ambience was great very upbeat and vibrant energy. The service was excellent. The food was excellent and everything was good. We'll definitely be back next time we come to San Diego. Roberto was an extremely good waiter very attentive, great personality very friendly. We loved him. He made our experience extra special. We will definitely be back.
Nice ambiance, slow service, average food that's overpriced. For a $300 dinner good quality and taste is expected. Cocktails were good but would probably not be back
Decor was fabulous... Definitely a fusion vibe with a restaurant that seems to be quiet until it mysteriously turns into a club type scene with DJ ( outstanding) & two stunning dancers backing him up while I eat my sushi. Bathrooms were clean. Music gets loud. This is a photo shoot atmosphere with bottle service and intimate celebrations all around.

Exceptional !!! Was very kind , treated me well on my birthday, they were very attentive and helped me with adjusting my order - Roberto thank you
Roberto was amazing! The food was great, had the dry dan dan noodles and the lamb chop lollipops
Roberto was incredible so was Andrea! black cod was insane! Great ambiance will def go back!!!
The atmosphere is very nice. Laid back, chilled. Happy hour is great with good portion. Roberto was an absolute delight. Fast, friendly, and prompt. Food is great! The Pork Belly Bao Buns is delicious! The pork belly is tender and has a great smoke. Highly recommend. Filet Mignon potsticker just melts in your mouth. Drool worthy. The Geisha-rita is very balance. Not too strong or overpowering. Just enough to give it a good kick.
I recently celebrated my birthday at AKA, and I have to say, it was absolutely perfect from start to finish! The moment I walked in, the vibe was vibrant yet classy, and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel so special. The food? Next-level delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor--from the appetizers to the entrees. My friends and family couldn't stop raving about this place! What really stood out was the atmosphere. It was the ideal mix of upbeat and elegant--perfect for a celebr... read more
