tourist Japanese food
I'm actually sitting in reaturant for lunch now..pretty dissappointing seeing that I'm reviewing rather than eating. First off their lunch special is only M-F. I ordered the bento box for lunch (paying dinner price). The cali rolls taste old, the salad is just iceberg lettuce with ginger dressing and the salmon is dry. Also the rice taste like another customer's leftover. The shumai is good though. Oh yeah & I had to go find my waiter to get chopstix. They left me with a fork.. I was the only Asian here and everyone else had chopstix! If you're in NYC there is WAY better Japanese than Aki!

Not recommended
Sushi is like life, it’s about balance. Fish (neta) and rice (shari) has to be balanced. Shari must not over power neta. In this case, the rice was tough. The shari (rice) last night was not acceptable especially coming from Japanese own sushi restaurant and the chef is Japanese. I do understand if chef is not, or not-Japanese sushi trained chef offer such kind (Mostly from non-Japanese sushi restaurants and especially Chinese own sushi restaurant with 50% off on some days). The sushi I had last night was equally poor as non-Japanese sushi place except the price.

Pretty Good, Though Not the Best
The portions were big, which is good, and they tasted good enough, but I've definitely had better. I'm always up for sushi so when my cousin was in the mood for it after watching a movie, we decided to hit this place up. My other cousin had noodles, and she said they were pretty good too. Service was fast; That's a plus.

Great Place
Aki is local to my office and I have frequented it for a year or so now. Everything is great...the service is fast and the wait staff is pleasant; the food is very tasty and fresh; the decor is warm; the temperature is cool yet not cold, which is a great sign and the value tops it off. I like their mixed spicy rolls and the philadelphia rolls do not lack cream cheese like many places. Definitely recommend it.
