Aki's Japanese Restaurant

Came in this small but cozy restaurant for a quick lunch bite and was surprised by the ambiance. I got the pork chop over rice and was surprised on how authentic it tasted. Crispy and homey - good blend of veggies and meat. Definitely a spot for casual get-togethers or a quick lunch. I would come back to try the food they didn’t have in stock (certain foods weren’t available depending on the days of the week or month)

best place in berkeley! love the beef stew over rice

The food really isn't good. The sushi tastes like it was made the day before and refrigerated. The sushi rice very sour for some reason. The vegetable tempura only had potatoes in it. The udon didn't even have traditional udon noodles. They use some sort of Chinese noodles. The rice was hard. I left my bento box half finished and I'm not even a picky eater at all. Genuinely do not come here.

This is my favorite restaurant on the north side of UC Berkeley and I’ve recommended it to several friends already! Super affordable and all orders are served with a free tasty miso soup. The guy taking orders is super nice and speaks English & mandarin. Not to mention the environment and decoration is very nice and sets the restaurant apart from other places nearby. I come here on a daily basis between classes and order the same item (beef sukiyaki don with tofu), but all other items I had at this place were good too.

Good university food, and free self serve tea! The only thing that could make this place better would be if they cleaned their outdoor tables. Also more veg options.

Great Japanese & Taiwanese food ?
The portion is satisfying while the price is relatively affordable! They also have free hot green tea and would serve you a cup of miso soup along with your order! (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)

The waiting might take a little longer than fast food restaurants of course, but you’d know they make your order freshly, and it’s worth it! ?

The vibe in the restaurant is unique and antique. A nice place for people who love hanging out with friends in the special place, or just enjoy yourself ??
