Asian Restaurants in Suffolk

“We love Domoishi! The poke bowls are super good - with all sorts of choices to make your fave.“

“Absolutely amazing omakase experience! The ambiance was unusal in the best sense -- it's an old building with original floors and ceilings, very cozy, great music (Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, INXS, CSNY, etc.), the staff were all SO fun and friendly, and the sushi was the BEST we've ever had.

I've never leave restaurant reviews but sushi aka merits breaking my precedent.

I took my husband for his birthday last weekend and it was a top 10 date experience for us! A table by the window and closer to the sushi bar (best seat in the house IMO) became available and we were invited to move there. At one point our first dance wedding song came on and when the chef overheard, he restarted the song for us and the staff decided to make room for us to dance (and even took a video for us).

We were asked some questions beforehand to get an idea of what we liked and didn't like, what our favorite sushi was, how adventurous we were, etc. The omakase was very reasonably priced (our budget is tight right now, but this was worth saving up for), and included three sushi dishes, a sashimi platter, a three-part sashimi tasting menu (can't empathize the difference expert rice prepararion and seasoning makes!), all prepared by Chef Michael, and an amazing desserts course prepeared by Chef Adam. All eight courses were delicious and delightful surprises.

**Making a reservation is advised and omakase is by reservation only, so call in advance.

The drinks menu was extensive. My husband ordered the Japanese whiskey flight and loved it. The rest of the menu looked really interesting and we look forward to trying some of the staple dishes next time.

Chef Michael's technical skills, knowledge, and presentation were all incredible. Some of the fish I hadn't experienced before, which says a lot, and all of it was unbelievably fresh and perfectly prepared. They had actual, real, fresh wasabi root available, which I've never seen anywhere else in the region. It's also the only authentic omakase I've seen in Virginia outside the DC area. We eat a LOT of sushi and this is hands down the best within a 3hr radius (and likely beyond).

We hardly ever go to Suffolk, but sushi aka was definitely worth the drive and we'll be returning as soon as we can. I can't recommend it enough. The staff were attentive and just made us feel special.

(Apologies for my picture quality -- I do not take food pics ever, but this was an exception. My photograpy seriously does not do the dishes any justice at all!)

Thanks so much to everyone at sushi aka!! You gave us more than just a memorable meal. They gave us a truly memorable night and birthday for my husband. <3“
