San Diego's coastline sparkles with culinary gems for daytime dining, but when it comes to nightlife, Gaslamp Quarter seizes the spotlight.

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 

Business response:

Hi Giuseppe, we’re so glad to hear AKA has become one of your favorite sushi spots! Fresh fish, creative rolls, and a fun atmosphere are exactly what we aim for. Thanks for shouting out Marco too he’ll be happy to hear it. See you again 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!
