Amazing chirashi and tempura for lunch. It’s like the best of both worlds blend fine dining and home-cooked Japanese food.

Be it the service, ambience or the quality and taste of the food, this restaurant is truly amazing. We went there for our last evening in San Francisco and were extremely impressed. Besides that, our server was extremely nice and accommodating and made our stay there even better.

Extemely slow and rude service. Waited 20 minutes at the door with no explanation or anything while half the resturaunt was empty. Waiters and host literally just walking around talking to each other while literally seeing people at door are not happy. Left because waisted my time.

We stopped by for lunch before the baseball game.
Our welcome was prompt, efficient and warm.
Highly recommend both the Bento and Chirashi options for lunch.
The Yuzu Matcha tea hits the spot as well.

We loved the sukiyaki set. Phenomenal service and super friendly ambience. The appetizers were exotic and delicious. Highly recommend.
Kid-friendliness: It seems kid friendly; my kids should be so lucky. Next time.
Akari is an incredible value. Their kaiseki meals are world-class, made by a chef who once cooked for the Emperor of Japan. We’re blessed with many great Japanese restaurants here, but it’s rare to find one this authentic.

My girlfriend and I have explored numerous Japanese restaurants worldwide, and we're delighted to recommend Akari as one of San Francisco's most authentic gems. Not only does Akari excel in authenticity, but its dishes also boast consistently high quality and irresistible flavors. From savory entrees to delectable desserts, every bite is a testament to their culinary mastery. If you're in search of exceptional Japanese cuisine and aiming to avoid disappointment, Akari is a must-visit. Indulge in an unforgettable dining experience that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving for more.
Everything is always so amazing and delicious. The quality is so consistent and just never disappoints! Kanae always treats us with such kindness. The restaurant is definitely a hidden gem that I’m afraid one day it’ll be too popular?. If I could have the makunouchi bento genzo every day I would but really everything is so good
