Food was ok at best. Nothing special. Service was slow. Place is beautiful but loud!!!! Can’t talk to the person next to you. Wouldn’t go back.

AKA in Gaslamp is a total vibe! Went to the opening and had a blast, so I had to come back for dinner, and they’re nailing it for a new spot! The sushi and ahi were fantastic—super fresh and flavorful. They’ve got a smaller cocktail list, but every drink I tried was on point. Highly recommend checking out this new gem in Gaslamp for a fun night out with amazing food!
We were there on Saturday night and there were very few food options available. Apparently they ran out of most of their menu items on opening night. Great ambiance, the little food we did order was great. The bar has a great vibe, will definitely try again hope to try more of their dishes.
Wow! We had a great dinner at AKA. We loved the vibe and the decorations. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was delicious. We had the pomelo salad to start, then short rib and glazed eggplant for the main. Great flavors and good portions! We’ve already booked again to bring our daughter and son-in-law with us.
Came for the new restaurant opening and very impressed with this new spot! Food and vibe was amazing. The service was decent for as busy as they were. Excited to come back and try more options

Thank you so much for coming by! Hope to see you next time!!
We went to this restaurant on its opening weekend, and there were some issues that happened due to it being a new restaurant. I’m sure things will be a lot smoother once the restaurant has gotten the “we’re brand new” issues resolved like wait staff putting the wrong forks on the table or not filling water glasses up/at all. As for the food, the portions are SMALL, but the food is good. Everyone on the staff was very friendly.

Hey there! Thanks so much for coming! Hope to see you again soon!!
Food was pretty good, menu was a bit limited. Marketed as a soft opening/ new restaurant it seemed kind of old inside - tables & bathrooms etc. Server brought the wrong wine and was gone for long periods of time.
