It had been a while since while since I came to Akemi and some friends were feeling like a sushi night so I suggested this place. I’m so glad their food is still good as I remembered it and my favorite roll will always be their Evil Roll! So delicious we tried a variety of different and were happy with our choices.Parking: Be ready to drive around to look for parking specially on a Friday or Saturday night.
We enjoyed a lovely meal at Akemi on Super Bowl Sunday - the restaurant was quiet, only a few tables occupied which made for an exceptional experience with food, service and ambiance all excellent. We were able to park right out front which was also nice. We'll be back - highly recommend!

Excellent ! Combination plate a perfect meal: miso soup, succulent miso salmon plus mixed teriyaki and finish with green tea ice cream or yuzu pans cotta . Perfect preparation, friendly service and quietly elegant decor. A new favorite on Solano Ave.

Had a mixed experience here. The sweet shrimp quality is excellent. The okinawayaki is excessively oily and salty, exacerbated by the sauce. The black cod is alright, but the overdose of okinawayaki makes it a bit overwhelming. The karaage is good, but the overall discomfort caused by the excessive oil and salt, particularly in the okinawayaki, impacts the overall experience.

Food was great and we will be returning (but staff always seems a bit overwhelmed, and this time they took our order after several groups that had been seated after us, with a consequent delay in receiving our food). Everyone was very nice, though, and I recommend this restaurant.

Incredible! Got the spicy Szechuan water boiled special with fish! 1 star spicy was plenty spicy and I usually have medium spice tolerance. Highly recommend!

Never fails to hit all of the marks....delicious food, fabulous service and beautiful space. We drive to this restaurant from our neighborhood, it's that good???? (Photo is from the private room location)

A full Japanese menu, offering something for everyone. Sushi, ramen, appetizers, grilled mains, combination plates, Combo plates were large and definitely big enough to share. We had a little service issue but the staff were happy to correct it when we called their attention to it. We only sampled some sushi but will return to enjoy more of it.
Food was very reasonably priced for the quantity. Clean simple ingredients, you could taste the quality. Service was a little slow, it took about 20 minutes for someone to come take our order but we came at 8pm and it was very busy at that time so it was understandable. Overall it was a very nice experience and we will be visiting again soon
Great food and amazing service! Had everything to make kids have an enjoyable sushi experience!

We came here for my birthday and we were all super satisfied with everything. It's rare these days to find a sushi restaurant with great sushi! The service is on point, the place is clean. We loved it! Definitely would be coming back and would tell friends (which I've already be doing).

Dinner was disappointing. The staff was efficient but cold (no smiles). The portions were quite small. The food was okay, except for the soy sauce, which was extremely salty.
Waitress forgot to put in entree order and never came back to check on us until much later. We thought maybe sushi chef needed more time, but by the time we called the a different waitstaff over to ask, it wasn't worth waiting for them to put a new order in. Our waitress didn't even apologize. Didn't stop them from automatically including a 20% service charge though.
Came for sushi, left happy.
