We are big fans of Akami in Arcadia, so we were excited to try their new Monrovia Izakaya. Everything is perfection. Literally rivals some of the fresh sashimi we had in Japan. Best Japanese cuisine in SoCal.
Hands down best sushi!!
Another great addition to Monrovia! Akami continues to grow and improve, and this new location is no exception. Beautiful space, delicious food, and as always, warm and welcoming service. With their yakitori selections and expanded sushi menu, there’s plenty to choose from, and I’m sure everyone can find something they’ll enjoy. A great spot for a casual dinner or a night out with friends. Congratulations to the Akami team on another wonderful location!
