I ate at Akiko’s for the lunch omekase and it was superb. I also had the sake pairings and they were original and well matched with the meal. The meal began with 5 courses of Otsumami, which were lovely small courses and not really what you would think of as sushi. They were all very tasty but the standout was the milk bread toast with toro and caviar. Then came 7 different courses of nigiri, each of one piece. They were all fresh and delicious. My favorite was the uni. But the melt in your mouth toro was the epitome of what toro should be. Even the green tea ice cream for dessert was especially good. I wasn’t cheap but I can’t wait to come back.

Really good. Quality fish. The best tbh. Good chef. Not too talkative despite asking for info.
But I don’t expect that.

I was at Akiko’s several years ago when it was still in its very small location. Most of the time when an amazing place expands the restaurant loses some of what makes it special. Well - that myth was busted. The staff was friendly, the service impeccable, and the Omikase experience was one of the top 10 meals of my life. My husband, son and I had a most memorable meal.
