Amazing food and service. Ambiance on point as well
The food was delicious but the service was awful. If there had been better service I would have rated them 5 stars.

AKEMI is a highly praised restaurant known for its exceptional food and relaxing ambience. Guests consistently highlight the quality of the sushi, describing it as melt-in-the-mouth delicious. The restaurant features beautifully designed wooden long tables that add to the special atmosphere. Many recommend trying the sushi rolls, particularly the lion king roll and the Akemi roll, which offers a refreshing twist with a cucumber wrap instead of rice. The baked scallop roll is also noted for its crispy shrimp tempura.
While the service is generally attentive, some guests have mentioned that the restaurant can feel understaffed during busy times, which may lead to longer wait times. However, the staff remains helpful and accommodating. The tonkotsu ramen has received mixed reviews, with one visit yielding a perfectly rich broth and another with an overcooked egg. The interior is described as beautiful and upscale, making it a perfect spot for special occasions.
Overall, AKEMI stands out for its high-quality Japanese food, particularly its sushi and ramen, alongside a calming atmosphere that makes it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
