Aiko offers an exceptional Japanese sushi experience, serving high-quality and fresh dishes that impress even the most discerning palates. The restaurant ensures attention to detail, making every visit worthwhile, despite the higher price point. Happy Hour is a great time to visit, with a variety of discounted dishes. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, with valet parking available. Standout dishes include the omakase and foie gras, which pair perfectly with exceptional service, making Aiko a must-visit sushi destination.
The vibe inside Aiko is described as "cute" and "posh," with a "cool fun vibe." The edamame has a unique flavor, possibly steamed in a citrus, and the Chicken Karaage is also praised. The $125 omakase is recommended for adventurous eaters, with highlights including the sashimi, oyster shooters, and matcha dessert. The service is excellent and attentive, and the overall experience is exceptional, with the sushi quality eclipsing other options in the area.
Visitors find Aiko to be an unexpected gem with amazing food, drinks, and attentive service. The atmosphere is very intimate and romantic, making it ideal for a party of four or fewer. Fish quality and hidden ducks are notable pros, though the restaurant can get loud due to its industrial feel. Lunch omakase is highly praised, especially the sake crudo (salmon + chili garlic + ponzu), which is bright, silky, and spicy. Other highlights include lean tuna (Akami) for its clean and tender flavor, as well as the fresh sashimi and crunchy chicken karaage, which disappears quickly. The snow crab roll is considered a bit heavy on mayo but still enjoyable. The vibe is chill, modern, and suitable for friends, family, or a low-key date, with fast, friendly, and attentive service. Overall, Aiko’s omakase lunch is deemed worth the time and money for sushi lovers who want the fish to shine.
