My friend and I always passed by AKA and wanted to try it out. From looks outside and inside- the aesthetic is 100%. Super pretty and instagrammable and that's what drew us in. However, the experience inside unfortunately didn't match. I mean if you're ready for a Vegas style dining experience this is your place. However, the music is so loud, tables are so small and so close together that you don't have room at the booths. Overpriced craft cocktails and Asian food. On a busy day even the waiters forget you, and only s... read more

Visited Friday night, group of eight to celebrate a birthday, we ordered about eight-ten a combination of different appetizers and dishes to share. Food was delicious - definitely a 5 star for that. Music was also great. The service was not at par; drinks took a very long time to get, we decided to order two at a time as we did not know when we will get more. The waiter will go MIA, never came back to check on us. We had to request services from other staff who had other responsibilities and were limited to help us. Even t... read more

One of the coolest atmospheres in the Gaslamp, but with the food and drinks that can hold their own. I wanted to take my cousin for a girl's night out for her birthday, and this was the perfect spot. They took such good care of us the moment we walked in. Roberto made all the best suggestions for an epic meal. We tried: Geisharita Ming Sling Cream Cheese Rangoons Fillet Mignon Potstickers Pork Belly Bao Lobster Noodles Cali Pac Roll Creme Brulee The drinks were nice and strong, and the food came out fresh and promp... read more

Aka is an absolute vibe! From the moment we walked in, the energy was electric! A live DJ spinning great music, dancers adding a fun and unexpected twist, and an ambience that felt both upscale and exciting. The sushi was fresh and beautifully presented. Every bite was perfection. We also tried a few of their cocktails and they did not disappoint! They were balanced, flavorful, and super creative. This place is a perfect blend of great food and a lively atmosphere. Highly recommend for a night out that's both delicious and ... read more
