   Aka was an incredible experience! The food was so good and the ambience is the real star! So many people celebrating, having fun and vibing to the live DJ. This place really captured what the Gaslamp has been missing. Highly recommend Aka for a night out.

   This place is what gaslamp quarter in San Diego needs Great vibe, ambiance, colors, and amazing design that makes you feel like you are in Singapore or somewhere exotic. The Yellowtail scallions and the Tai Miso snapper were so so good and perfectly balanced. The Potstickers so delicious to start. Wagyu drunken noodles perfectly seasoned. We had the filet mignon with a special seafood sauce that melted in my mouth. The miso black cod was light and flavorful. We saw some sushi rolls being served at tables nearby but we were so full and will definitely try the place another time to experience those dishes. Server was very knowledgeable even for a place that is so new. We finished the meal with the red velvet chocolate lava cake, absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family and anyone visiting San Diego. On weekends they have a dj playing till late at night that will for sure add a great vibe, we will definitely be back.

   Beautiful venue, great music but the service was terrible from the minute we walked in. The service just ruined the whole dinner experience as the food came so far apart from each other, really didn’t understand much from it. Most likely will not go back again unless just to have some cocktails by the bar area.

   Food came out way too fast and was cold. Probably prepared in advance and put in a warmer. Would skip it for the food, bar and DJ scene looks better

   Armando was a GREAT waiter! Decor is beautiful! I made a meal out of three appetizers (cream cheese wontons = AMAZING! Filet mignon dumplings = great! Chicken satay = ok) interesting cocktail menu. I ordered the horchata matcha cocktail… interesting but not great. Bar area was packed! I don’t eat seafood so I didn’t have a lot of options but I would definitely go back!

    Cool build out!! You’re going for the experience versus the food. Service was attentive until it got busy - then service fell off - delays of 5 - 15 minutes until server showed up again. Recommend going to see - wouldn’t go back.
