TripAdvisor have the open and closing times for this restaurant wrong so it was unfortunate when we decided to get food there late at night. We later came back and ordered sushi and noodle. We didn’t really know what to order so we asked the server for help. We wanted something complex that wasn’t cliche or simple (California roll, bento box, tempura, fried rice, etc...). The server was very knowledgeable and friendly in giving us suggestions on what to order. We ended up getting the lobster fantasy roll, Pokémon roll, and tonkatsu ramen. The lobster fantasy had a lot of sauces that made the roll very flavorful. The roll itself was also very stuffed. The Pokémon roll had a honey sweet taste to it which we really enjoyed. One of my friend had the tonkatsu ramen and really liked it. The soup had intense flavoring but I didn’t enjoy the texture of the soup. Overall we were very pleased.

I've been a patron of this restaurant for several years. Their lack of care for to go orders in this pandemic was pathetic!! First, the girl bagging my order was not wearing gloves. What's WORSE is the guy preparing my sushi was NOT wearing gloves. I should have checked the order before leaving!! The rock n roll handrolls had spoiled radish sprouts. The fried shrimp was super cold and hard... like it was prepared days ago, refrigerated then placed into the roll. The seaweed wrap was soggy, liked it was used the day before!! The salmon sushi was actually BROWN! I had to cut away the spoiled part... not quite sure why I even ate it! I paid almost $40 for GARBAGE!! I could have saved $30 and found FRESHER, BETTER sushi at KROGER!! I WILL NOT patronize here again!!! Save your money! Go to Kroger in the next block to get BETTER sushi!!! I wouldn't rate this place a one if they took a ZERO to write a review!!!

Way back when this place used to be great. I think now they dont use fresh sushi and a lot of the food you can tell has been frozen and thawed.

My colleague and I had lunch here today. The customer service was horrible during lunch. The lunch teriyaki chicken dish was mediocre. To make the experience even worst. We were leaving the restaurant and this older lady with short hair starting speaking in their language calling on the other workers and pointing at us. We stopped "I said what's the problem we paid our bill where's the waitress" the waitress came out and said you'll are good. They never offered an apology for the misunderstanding. Surely, they don't approach their entire customer's in such a matter and if so they will be out of business soon. I feel we were singled out because we are African American.

After trying a few local favorites for sushi that were not open mid-afternoon, my daughter and I stumbled upon Aka Sushi on Revere and Westheimer. Absolutely on our list for next time! Fresh, creative, and quite a variety of rolls, sushi, sashimi, with very fresh endamami.

I tried four dishes there: a lunch box, noodles with seafood, shrimp tempura, and sushi..... The box contained grilled chicken with rice and 4 pieces of sushi and shrimp and vegetable tempura as well and it comes with salad and Mido soup.... All for only 10$, and it was yummy. The service though wasn't great

My husband and I come here whenever we feel like sashimi. Their food may not be the best but it is consistent and we never had a bad experience. I love the Yellow tail and Whit tuna sashimi. My husband likes the Salmon best. I like to have tempura udon at the end of the meal and I am still trying to train them to bring it last. Maybe a couple of more visits will do the trick.

As Japanese food goes this place has obviously added American style eating to the preparation. Very well presented and colourful, but a little heavy on sauce over the Maki, the Sushi was excellent with Tuna, Mackrell and Salmon. We had hot Saki, and tried a bottle of cold peach flavoured Saki, dont be tempted unless you like sweet syrup! It could be authentic Japanese if they dropped the need to make it to the American taste

We went to give it a try and support local business... We hade several appetizers and rolls: calamari, seaweeds salad, pork dumplings, Houston roll, a roll that was a combination of salmon, yellowtail and tuna, and the Japanese rice with beef. All dishes were delicious. And since we were during happy hour, the price was really reasonable. All three of us finished full.

We have dined twice at this lovely place and enjoyed our meal both times. The staff sees to your needs immediately--watchful without hovering. The fish always tastes fresh and every bite is a delightful surprise of mixed flavors and textures (rolls). I have to stop ordering their tempura--they make a more heavy, crumb-like batter; I like light and fluffy tempura. Maybe because their menu is weighted with lots of tempura filled rolls that they use a sturdier batter to withstand the extra handling.

They have great service and great food. They have a nice variety of fish for sushi. I was mostly impressed with the fresheness of the fish and the good service. What more can I say. Sushi is Sushi when it is good. I would eat here over and over again if I lived in the area. They have a full bar as well.

We go to Aka often as it is just around the corner from our house. The sushi is always wonderful. Our favorite is the Shaggy Dog roll!

Caters mostly to the local businesses during the weekdays, so you will get people from nearby offices at lunch It offers some nice choices of bento boxes or roll of the day, all coming with miso soup and salad (10-12$) Price is good Quality is acceptable. It used to be much better, but still above average My only complaint is the lights in the dining area which are kept very low.. it is almost pitch dark inside Staff is very nice and friendly, combined with a rather fast service, makes it really a relaxing experience
