This place was great!! The staff was super friendly and parking was convenient. We were greeted and seated right away. We had our sushi within a few minutes of ordering. We will definitely be back!

Definitely the best sushi joint on the north shore. I ordered the dumplings and the George roll. They also have FRESH REAL wasabi (second pic) which is very hard to find in general. They give you a free piece of pineapple after for a desert. Very good service. I will continue to come back here.

My good friend Oui! You are a magician! This was truly a great experience. Will make the trip from BR just to see you and eat here more often! Best sushi EVER!

We had a wonderful lunch. They start you off with a delicious cucumber salad which is delicious. The presentation of the salad was wonderful. We then split the Spicy Salmon appetizer, sorry no picture for that, and the presentation and taste were superb. We then shared the Teriyaki Box and the taste and presentation again. Were superb. After we ate, they finished us with fresh cut pineapple, a great way to cleanse your palate. We will be back here again.

I am a true disciple of Aki. It is hands-down my favorite sushi anywhere, in any state, in any country I’ve visited, ever. I travel a good bit, and I eat sushi everywhere I go; there is no comparison to Aki. Sushi is three things: Quality fish, Skilled artistry, and Love. Aki has all three ingredients in spades. All the fish is fresh and top-notch in grade. The chefs are impeccable in their abilities. And the love comes out in the service, the children’s hangings on the wall, and the flavorful and unique combinations on (and off) the menu. If you have to wait to get a seat, then wait - it’s worth it! Have not had a bite yet that need a second... and third, fourth, fifth. Aki is not just my favorite sushi, it is my favorite restaurant, period. Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, date nights, friend dinners, and pretty much every other week just in general, this is our go-to comfort food. Our home away from home (who has way better sushi than our home), filled with a whole staff who feel like family. Highest of recommendations! (Do yourself a favor and order a Hurricane Roll. You’re welcome.)

The best sushi on the northshore. Ordered the pink lady roll, the Atlantic salmon, tempura, and v roll. Everything was great. They don’t take reservations on the weekends. We waited about 45 mins but it was worth it. Will def be coming back!
