I was taken aback being that I frequented this establishment in the recent past. I was looking over the menu to try something new, other than the chirashi bowl that I normally order. I was told to sit at the bar in front of the chefs and was thrown multiple menus to order from. I was left there waiting to be served. while i was waiting to be acknowledged and noticed I was being avoided, keep in mind i was in front of the chefs. while they were looking as well without asking was i being serviced. I sat there for 5 minutes and nothing. I MEAN NOTHING! I started walking slowly towards the door and still no one, I mean no one said anything. They watched me walk out the door. Everyone there was European and already served i just wondered why was i treated as though I wasn't in the room.

This was the second time we have eaten sushi at this establishment. It is so good and so enjoyable that we bring our out-of-town guests here

Waitress did not know how to describe the menu items we inquired about. We also asked if the mango was close to the dishes that were made since one of us was allergic to it.
It’s very dark in there-when you walked in you can smell raw fish-I know some sushi and sashimi is raw but this was foul and not normal in higher priced locations throughout VA.

Well I was a server for 2 days and I got fired for taking pictures of the food and posting it . I’m new I just wanted to help promote and also get a picture of the food that’s being made so I can remember what’s what . My trainer was soft spoken barely wanted to talk ., when asked questions she didn’t know she didn’t want my help serving I asked if I could help bring items out she denied , every time I clean in between times she running to the table with an order then I have to follow up behind her . anyways the owner fired me on the day I was pose to come in . Can’t even search words on the menu cause he watching me on my phone and I didn’t even understand the language that’s spoken on the menu so I wanted to search how it’s pronounced but thanks for the opportunity I guess I’ll be by Tuesday to get my first and last check .

Sushiaka's omakase course is the best in Hampton Road area. My 6 course meal was absolutely amazing. You can taste the high quality and creativity.

Great jewel in downtown..

Best sushi I’ve ever had. Only top quality cuts. It is on par or even better than NY and Vegas sushi spots. The toro melts like butter.

Hands down this is THE BEST PLACE to eat inSuffolk! Great food and great service. We never mind the wait if they are really busy, because food is so well worth it!
Nicole Rodriguez
The best sushi place around! The service is top notch and the food is even better!! We've been here twice so far and it's been the best experience every time.

We decided to try this place on a whim and it eneded up being a pleasant experience! The service was friendly (we did have a waitress in training, but she did well) The place was clean and inviting, The food was absolutely delicious. I had never had the rolls they offered before and I was not disappointed. My only suggestion would be to improve the menu as in it was a little difficult to read/decipher. Still not a deterrent from returning. I would suggest making the names of the dishes in bold and the ingredients not bold.
This is an amazing restaurant for a date night! The sushi and sushimi here is amazing. Just a note they serve fresh crab in their rolls. Everything was perfect including the service. I would definitely will be going back!

We love this restaurant! Hands down the BEST sushi/sashimi in Hampton Roads area and abroad. You know it’s going to be a quality sushi restaurant when the sushi chef owns it. It’s a small intimate atmosphere, and their staff is only a few people. Everyone who works there is like a family. Every dish including the desserts are made in house, and they use fresh seasonal produce sourced from local farms. If you’re not 100% a fan of sushi or fish they have some incredible pork, beef and chicken dishes as well. Sometimes they’ll feature Kobe beef cuts. Yum! Our family loves sushi and most of the time when we order takeout or dine in we give them a budget for a sushi platter, and tell them what our likes and dislikes are and Chef Mike will create an amazing assortment for us. A home run every time. During cooler months they’ll have pork belly ramen, which my daughter craves it’s so good. All around I highly recommend Sushi Aka to everyone who visits Suffolk or lives in the area. I’ve met people from Richmond who make it a special point to eat there. It’s a gem in downtown Suffolk. Support local small businesses and help local math!

The sushi was just delicious. We went with two specialty rolls and was not disappointed with either. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

The service here is amazing and the food is by far the best sushi I've ever had. The Bahmi is our favorite dish!!
