Amazing food, impressive cocktails, and a chic atmosphere. Perfect for a night out or celebration. Highly recommended!
A standout spot. The atmosphere is sleek with dim lighting, rich textures, and unique details that really set the scene. The food was incredible—fresh Yellowtail Sashimi and Salmon Belly Nigiri that practically melted in my mouth. The sushi rolls were creative, and the filet mignon was cooked perfectly - medium rare needs to be nice and pink - they got it right! I didn’t get a chance to try the cocktails since I was in a wine mood, but they looked amazing. I’m planning to check out the nightlife this Saturday, and I can’t wa... read more
Aka was an incredible experience! The food was so good and the ambience is the real star! So many people celebrating, having fun and vibing to the live DJ. This place really captured what the Gaslamp has been missing. Highly recommend Aka for a night out.
Better than last time even!
Love this place!!! Music is loud, food is very good, drinks are amazing, server efficient & friendly hostess!!
Lovely place but the food quality was not what we were expecting.
This place is what gaslamp quarter in San Diego needs Great vibe, ambiance, colors, and amazing design that makes you feel like you are in Singapore or somewhere exotic. The Yellowtail scallions and the Tai Miso snapper were so so good and perfectly balanced. The Potstickers so delicious to start. Wagyu drunken noodles perfectly seasoned. We had the filet mignon with a special seafood sauce that melted in my mouth. The miso black cod was light and flavorful. We saw some sushi rolls being served at tables nearby but we were s... read more
I had an incredible experience at AKA in the Gaslamp Quarter! This Asian fusion spot is an absolute gem, both in terms of atmosphere and food. The decor is striking—the 7-foot-tall Buddha statue makes such a cool statement, and the glowing red bar top creates a warm, inviting vibe that adds to the restaurant’s modern feel. The food was equally impressive! The filet mignon was cooked to perfection, incredibly tender and full of flavor. And I can’t get enough of their mango yellowtail sushi roll; the combination of fresh fish ... read more
Armando was a GREAT waiter! Decor is beautiful! I made a meal out of three appetizers (cream cheese wontons = AMAZING! Filet mignon dumplings = great! Chicken satay = ok) interesting cocktail menu. I ordered the horchata matcha cocktail… interesting but not great. Bar area was packed! I don’t eat seafood so I didn’t have a lot of options but I would definitely go back!
