" I visited Akiko with my family last weekend for a celebration. We were treated exceptionally well, and the staff went out of their way to make our visit special. The highlight was definitely the selection of sushi—every roll was fresh and uniquely crafted. The warm atmosphere helped create a wonderful family dinner experience. I can't wait to come back to try their desserts as I hear they are just as good as the sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Akiko! From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming and attentive. The food was exceptional—each piece of sushi felt carefully crafted and incredibly fresh. The ambiance is calming and the perfect backdrop for a meal with friends. The miso soup was one of the best I've had! I'm so glad we decided to try this place out, and I will definitely be recommending it to everyone I know. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! My friends and I stumbled upon Akiko during a weekend outing, and we were thrilled with what we found. The atmosphere felt intimate and welcoming, with soft lighting and tasteful decor. We ordered a variety of sushi rolls and were pleasantly surprised by how fresh and flavorful everything was. The service was a highlight as well—our server was friendly and made sure our drinks were never empty. I highly recommend trying the miso soup; it was one of the best I've ever had! A fantastic find! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to try Akiko after hearing such great reviews. Overall, we had a pleasant experience. The sushi was nicely presented and tasted fresh, though I feel it was slightly overpriced. The atmosphere provided a great setting for our dinner, and our server was attentive without being intrusive. I'd say it’s worth checking out if you're in the mood for sushi, but I wish the prices were a bit more competitive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Things have really changed for the better at Akiko! There was a time when I was skeptical due to mixed reviews, but let me tell you—it’s now one of my favorite sushi spots! The ingredients taste fresh, and the rolls are inventive without losing their authenticity. Every bite brings joy and satisfaction. The vibe of the restaurant is cozy and chic—perfect for both date nights and casual hangouts. If you're a fan of sushi, give Akiko a try; you won't regret it! " (*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*)
