Food great! Shrimp appetizer had light and therefore perfect tempura. We were the first for lunch today during the start of Comic-con, and got excellent service. The filet mignon potstickers were nice. Grilled teriyaki chicken had both white and dark meat that I appreciated with a few vegetables. Rice cooked nice. Overall it was a very nice lunch and I would definitely have the shrimp appetizer again. Ambience very cool. Definitely worth the stop!!!
Awesome atmosphere with the DJ spinning relaxed but catchy music. Food was average. the pad Thai was way too sweet and the truffle roll had zero truffle flavor. Drinks were good but the wait time was obnoxiously long. Overall, fun place for drinks and simple snacks but I wouldn't do a full dinner.
If you go to Aka and don't get Miguel as your server, did you even go? This man isn't just a server -- he's a full-on experience. Hilarious, smooth, and somehow remembered our entire order without writing it down. Legend. His food recs? Spot on. His timing? Impeccable. When I asked what was spicy, he said, "Me." Enough said. By the end of the night, I wasn't sure if I should leave a tip or follow him on tour. 10/10 -- Aka, give this man a raise before Netflix does.
Came in for dinner and loved the atmosphere and friendly service. The food and drinks were delicious and great sharing platers. 10/10 would recommend!
From the moment we walked into AKA, we were met with warm hospitality and a vibrant yet intimate atmosphere. The entire staff was genuinely welcoming and attentive, setting the tone for what would become an unforgettable evening. The filet mignon was nothing short of phenomenal--cooked to absolute perfection, tender, and bursting with flavor. The accompanying vegetables were expertly charred, adding a delightful smoky depth, and the mashed potatoes had an incredible texture--silky yet rich with just the right amount of seas... read more
Absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere and ambiance were amazing and fun! Our waitress Emily was so sweet and had great recommendations. Would definitely come back again!
10/10 experience. Teagan was the best bartender ever, she was very attentive and hospitable
Our experience with Miguel was truly one of a kind. Attentive, genuine, and effortlessly kind as he made us feel like the only guests in the room. Service like this is rare. Absolutely exceptional.
It's a vibe!!! So fun for a big group or a celebration. Food and music are 10/10. Great friendly service
