The food was good, however the restaurant is VERY loud… & we are young people & still had a hard time having conversations. I got the mango roll & it was good, the sea bass was OK

Food was okay, music was too loud to enjoy dinner. It was like having dinner inside a club.

Always a good time at AKA, the ambiance is quiet when you arrive but at 8pm the DJ starts to play, slowly the music gets loud and by 10pm it is like a night club atmosphere.

Cool trendy Japanese vibe restaurant. Needs to work on food and service. The appetizer pot stickers were chewy like it was sitting out for too long. My sea bass n veggies were over cooked. Bar with not having cherries for drinks was a let down. Music was good but too loud, it was hard to converse with people at my table.
