" The sushi at Akida is amazing, but the space can feel overcrowded during peak hours, so plan accordingly. I had the salmon roll and it was sensational. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, making recommendations as needed. A definite must-try if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a small sushi restaurant that really packs a flavor punch! I was pleasantly surprised by their unique offerings like the Naruto Roll. While the restaurant may feel cramped at times, the vibe is perfectly intimate for sushi lovers. The staff were very accommodating and even helped me choose a fantastic sake pairing. Visiting Akida is always an adventure in amazing fresh fish! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Akida was delightful! The sushi was fresh and beautifully presented. Their special rolls are definitely worth trying, especially if you enjoy a bit of spice. Did I mention how amazing the staff were? Very attentive and courteous. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about my experience at Akida. On one hand, the tuna tasted fresh and the rolls had interesting flavor combinations. On the other hand, the service was slower than I’d hoped, even though the place wasn't overly busy. I might come back to give it another chance because the food was decent, just need to adjust my expectations on timing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner at Akida last night and was really impressed. The ambiance was quaint and inviting, but the star was definitely their sushi. I tried the dragon roll, and it was spectacular! The servers were attentive but not intrusive. The only downside was that it was a bit crowded, but that's to be expected with how good they are. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)
