“We were here for half price sushi night (every Monday& Tuesday). They are slammed busy in a small dining room but the food comes out lightning fast. The fish portions are noticably smaller and more cucumber and other fillings in the rolls is noticable. But this does not detract from the quality or flavor of the sushi. Overall the service and value is great!“

“Amazing Experience!
Exceeded all my expectations! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, I love how small and intimate it is. The service is outstanding, and the food is simply delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. I can’t wait to come back!“

“Nice experience friendly staff“

“Aki is a welcome new addition to the local Japanese restaurant scene. Aki brings an attention to detail to their offerings. Those in the know will appreciate that they make their own tomago, unusual these days, even for high end sushi bars.

The staff is friendly, and knowledgeable.

The prices are appropriate for the quality of the food.

I can count on a fraction of one hand the Japanese restaurants within 25 miles that are worth a second visit.

Aki is one of those.

This was my second visit, and I will be back again, soon.“

“Always fresh & delicious! The best sushi around“

“Ordered through DoorDash. The food came quickly and hot as well as correct. We ordered the hibachi noodles, shrimp and vegetable tempura, beef negimaki and sweet potato rolls. The beef negimaki and sweet potato rolls were very good. The hibachi noodles were a bit gummy but ok tasting and the tempura lacked favor. All in all they were good portions and reasonably priced. Would definitely order from here again.“

“Food and service is always consistent and awesome. I haven't had better chicken and broccoli anywhere else other than here. Also the Szechuan chicken is amazing. I always get about 2-3 different things just cuz it's always so good. I end up spending like 50$ on myself only. Definitely a must try if you haven't already.“

“The best most authentic and imaginative sushi I have had North of I-95 area in CT. The delicious nigiri sushi is reminiscent of restaurants I loved in NYC like sushi of Gari. The quality is amazing, and the menu showcases the fish rather than fillers, like “crunch.” The owners were friendly and welcoming, and we will be back very soon!!!! Thank you for having us!“

“The only complaint here is that the service is slow. So make sure you have the time before you go.
Otherwise, the servers are very nice and the food is very good.
Have had takeout from here on occasion, and it is also good as well.“

“Love all the dishes i have tried....Very fresh, cooked to perfection.“

“Fabuloso me super en canto“
