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. Servers were kind until they ask ( at the end of the dinner if I was happy with the tip & bill amount. I thought that was interesting. $400 plus for 4 adults & a 13 year o... read more

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.

What really stood out was the atmosphere. It was the ideal mix of upbeat and elegant--perfect for a celebr... read more
