Delicious food and really nice servers. About lad, but it was a crowded Friday night at prime time. We requested a quiet table on the back and they honored that request.

The sushi was beautiful prepared and tasty. We enjoyed the sake flight. It was difficult to get our check at the end of the meal.

Mainly had sashimi and sushi - excellent quality and beautifully made. They were also incredibly accommodating to us and smoked some salmon for those who couldn't eat raw fish! 11/10 would go again.

My friend lives in Benicia and I live in San Bruno and it's always a challenge to find a good restaurant in Berkeley or Oakland. We've had great successes and superb failures. Akemi is in the first category. Lovely food, great service, and a real bargain for wonderful Japanese treats. We are already planning our next trip there.

Had a really excellent meal here with my family. I ordered the wagyu combo, medium rare and was really happy with it. The other members of my party had the chirashi don and the unagi don and everyone enjoyed their meals. Great atmosphere. My only small complaint is that ai thought the price for my beer (Asahi Super Dry) was a bit high. I would definitely eat here again!

Nice simple offerings. All well prepared and presented. I will return as I have many times already.

As a rule, I like to order a selection of nigiri but I found the selection quite limited.
Tai was very tough so I mentioned it to the server. The sushi chef presented a complimentary chu toro by way of an apology. That was very kind of him. Spicy tuna seems to just be tuna mixed with sriracha so was disappointing. Unagi was overly sweet and a little dry. Shrimp tempura inside a roll that I ordered was chewy and overcooked.
I think I am obviously very spoiled after years of going to Sugata at the bottom of Solano and before that, Sushi Banzai on Camelia in Berkeley, as I know a lot of reviewers love this place. Sadly, I shall not be returning.

Authentic Japanese restaurant with rich menu, excellent choice of sake and a great service.
This restaurant serves delicious Sushi. The fish tasted fresh and the service was good.
The service might be a bit slow before dinner but I'll be worth it.

so yummy!! Me and my boyfriend ate 3 sushi plates + nagiri. I was pretty full afterwards. They had so many options. I really loved...ALL OF THEM !!! The servers are so sweet🤗 This sushi might be the best in town. It is in a cute little location.

Excellent service and the sashimi was so fresh ! My husband and our friend had combo plates but I had the Chef's Choice sashimi and I'd go back there in a heartbeat!
