" Akiko was a pleasant surprise. The atmosphere is modern yet cozy, making it a nice escape for a sushi night. We ordered various rolls, and I particularly enjoyed their special AK roll which had a delightful spice to it. The server made some excellent recommendations as well. Although the portions were smaller than some other places I've been to, the quality of the food really makes up for it. I could easily see myself coming back to explore more dishes on their menu.

" Every time I visit Akiko, I leave more impressed than the last. The diversely rich menu showcases authentic flavors that truly highlight Japanese cuisine. The rolls are creative yet traditional, offering a delightful culinary journey with each bite. The ambiance strikes the right balance between casual and elegant, perfect for any occasion.

Highly recommend Akiko if you haven't been yet! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re a sushi lover and find yourself near Meyerland, make sure to stop by Akiko! The rolls are fantastic, and the unique flavors will surprise you in the best way possible. I've tried multiple dishes over my visits, and I have never once left disappointed. The crab rangoon was crispy and filled with flavors, absolutely delightful! The ambiance makes it even better—quiet and intimate, perfect for date nights or catch-ups with friends. I can't recommend this spot enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to check out Akiko after hearing great things, but it wasn't all that we hoped. The sushi was okay, but it lacked the authentic touch found in better establishments. The rolls felt a bit overly rice-heavy, which stifled some of the flavors. Our server was friendly but not very attentive, and the food came out slower than expected. It’s a cozy place, but I think I’ll stick to my go-to sushi spots moving forward. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, my experience at Akiko was rather hit or miss. While the atmosphere was great and the place was busy, the food left much to be desired. I found the sushi lacking in freshness and flavor. Service was average, and though the wait wasn't long, our server seemed distracted. On a positive note, the edamame was tasty, but I came for sushi and didn’t get the quality I expected. Perhaps I’ll try again, but I’m not in a hurry to go back. " (*Curated Review*)
