Me and my friends and had a great time at Akai, their cocktails were very tasty, the atmostphere was good. Our host, Holly, was very accommodating, energetic, and professional. We’ definitely comeback.
Tips for those visiting this place on their first time, come around 9ish so you can get seated, because they can get very busy.

Nice place service 0 I had a table end up canceling it , have to chase them to get a drink hello hello they will definitely ignore you
Definitely has potential.
Areas for improvement: bathroom isn’t watched over too well, the soap was empty at the time,stuff on the floor.
Got an area to sit in and the waitress forgot to give us the dice to roll for one of the cocktails. The bartender got flustered when we asked for four drinks , mind you the place is not packed and he got the drinks wrong twice.
Music was nothing special more like EDM house. The finish out of the speakeasy is cool but that’s about it. My friend musume and the apps had it going on but the entre he got a omekase and it suckkkkked compared to others in Dallas , you can tell the fish has sat out in the fridge and the waiter recommended not ordering some items which he was probably right.

More of a club than a cocktail bar. Drinks are mid
Went from a cool speakeasy to a club
Vapid and soulless. Bouncers have a whole shtick acting like you’re not in dress code even though the 4 other people in the spacious bar are wearing the same shoes and shorts. The cocktails are fine and overpriced as you’d expect.

Pretentious atmosphere with overpriced cocktails and inconsistently enforced dress code. The vibe is dead, only blasting club music to no one. The actual cocktails are far too generic and uninteresting to warrant a return visit considering the weird and unpleasant customer service.

Got denied our service for wearing dress shorts. We will not be back, although it seems like they didn’t want our business anyways!

Michael was the best bartender, I told him I didn’t like sweet drinks and he made me the most perfect drink and was so personable. And was so quick. Will be coming back to see Michael specifically.

If you have not been here, it is a must visit spot if you’re in Dallas. You have the option to enter by going through the restaurant (Musume) to the back which is through the kitchen and then through the doors.
Very nice decorum and dark. There’s Japanese influenced art work, sofas to hang sit if not reserved for a table and the bar itself has stools and spans across. Definitely a spot to lounge and hang out.
Above all, i usually like to mingle with the bartenders one specifically named Michael. I always feel welcome and he knows exactly what i get every time.
Cannot wait for Musume to open in Frisco.

This place is a 10/10! We had the best experience because of Michael! He was so attentive, catered to our needs, and makes the best drinks. If you’re looking to have a great night, with good vibes, and the best service, make your way to Akai!
