The decoration is okay. Nothing new or exciting worth driving to downtown. I'm not a big fan of restaurant week and unknowing visited this restaurant on restaurant week. Filet was over cooked and did not seem freshly done. Portion was good and waiters tried to be attentive. I would only recommend this place for a late night with DJ and music. 

Business response:

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Mojdeh. We're sorry to hear the filet wasn’t cooked to your liking and that your visit during restaurant week didn’t meet expectations. It sounds like the nightlife atmosphere with DJ and music is more your vibe, and we appreciate you highlighting that. If you're open to sharing more about your experience, feel free to reach out our GM at giancarlo.guttilla@gmail.com so we can look into it further.

e best I've ever had in San Diego! Super tender and perfectly medium rare. The lamb lollipops are perfectly cooked with very flavorful seasoning and sides to taste along. The yellowtail is sashimi with nice seasoning, good to start a meal. The desserts also pass my expectations, the cheesecake is little thicker than regular Japanese style cheesecake, which is awesome, because I don't typically like the spongy style cheesecake. The Ube flavor is strong, so yummy. The Creme Brûlée is different than the French version which is ... read more

I really wanted to like this place, but it just didnt hit. Service was great, cute inside, but everything we order was just meh. The place was not busy so I can't blame it on that. We ordered Orange Chicken Kara-age, Pork Belly Bao Buns, Bluefin Tuna Poke Bites, and the Filet Mignon. Orange chicken was over cooked and the sauce didnt taste good. The Pork Belly was dry and the Tuna was a little funky. I stopped eating the tuna because I was afraid it might be bad. The steak was ok, ordered medium rare and it was cooked to tha... read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at AKA Restaurant, and I must say, the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious--each dish was thoughtfully prepared, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. Whether you're in the mood for something classic or a bit more adventurous, the menu offers a great variety of flavorful options. What truly made the evening exceptional, though, was the service. Our server, James, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He was attentive... read more
