" If you crave genuine, quality sushi, Akiko's is where you find it. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the presentation was artistically done. However, I did expect larger portions for the price. The cozy and intimate setting really added to the experience though, and the staff made me feel welcome. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently took my family to Akiko's for dinner. We were all impressed by the quality of the sashimi and rolls. The tuna was particularly fresh, but the space was quite cramped, especially with a baby stroller. Service was friendly but a bit slow at times, which was understandable given how busy they were. Overall, a great experience, just be prepared for the small seating area! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I first walked into Akiko's, I was charmed by its small, no-frills setup. This place may not boast a grand ambiance, but the food makes up for it tenfold. I did the omakase, and every dish was a delightful surprise with imaginative flavor pairings. Definitely on the pricier side, but the quality and creativity make it well worth it. I plan to come back with friends very soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high hopes for Akiko's, I was left a bit underwhelmed by my experience there. The food was fine but didn’t live up to the incredible reviews. The space is quite tight, and unfortunately, the staff seemed overwhelmed, affecting the service speed. It’s not a place I plan to revisit, despite the freshness. " (*Curated Review*)

" While some dishes at Akiko's left me wanting more, the freshness of the ingredients was unquestionable. I enjoyed the double star roll, which was creative and tasty. However, the seating was extremely close, making it hard to have a comfortable conversation. Service was prompt but could use a touch more warmth. It’s a decent spot but perhaps not my first choice for a sushi place next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" For a family-owned sushi bar, Akiko's excels in freshness and flavor. We enjoyed a variety of rolls and were particularly fond of the spicy tuna. However, the check came much higher than expected, and the portions were not as satisfying for the price. The ambiance is quaint but could certainly feel snuggled during busier times. " (*Curated Review*)

" Akiko's has earned a special place in my heart! From the moment I entered, I was welcomed in a very friendly manner. The sushi was remarkable, with every piece made to perfection. I especially loved the spicy tuna roll. It can be a bit tight if you're not used to small spaces, but that just adds to the cozy vibe. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)
