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

Food was very good, but unfortunately, I was unable to find many dishes that were gluten friendly ,service was great , food is moderately overpriced ,verage size portions for this type of restaurant , I believe they’re going for a baby TAO
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. Dancing girls near the DJ keep you pumped up during the end of dinner and you get up and dance by 11pm. The experience is Fun, happy and elegant. You would dress to impress at AKA.

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.
Amazing time! Server was wonderful, food was great and it was overall a really fun time.
Great restaurant. Me and my husband celebrated our anniversary here and we had a great time. The food and drinks were amazing. Service and ambiance can’t complain. At the end of our meal they treated us with a celebratory song complete with a cake and sparkling candles which was really nice. This restaurant is underrated.
Cool vibe and nice staff. Food was average. Worth another try
The staff was friendly and respectful which made our anniversary memorable. Bluefin tune and wagyu was on another level of great. Drinks were awesome and the special touch they put on this evening was a pleasant surprise.
