Chef Alex is a great guy, filled with motivation, creativity, and an amazing intuition for mixing flavors, which include fresh and fermented ones. The pairings with wine or sake are precise. The ambiance is just perfect for enjoying the food, a nice chat, and perfect for a date. Finally, the staff is just amazing, the servers are so attentive and even sweet. One of the best sushi experiences I’ve ever had so far. So happy I live in SF to enjoy this mor than once. Now it’s your turn.

Akikos is as close to a seaside table in Japan with bountiful choices of all the delicacies of the Pacific Ocean. Sushi was prepared with attention accenting the fish's natural flavor with ginger or wasabi. We had 2 birthdays to celebrate and Akikos' staff provided extra service to celebrate!

EXCEPTIONAL!!! Came for dinner and drinks with two girlfriends and had a beautiful experience. Our server was amazing, knowledgeable and attentive. The food was divine! We loved the nigiri and the miso cod so much, and the ceviche and amberjack were delicious. Sake selection is on point too! This place is a hidden gem and I want to come back for omakase soon..
