Aki

We went there a month ago. Very authentic as the staff laugh with you but do not understand - a compliment actually. We went for the set meals including Sushi. My eating partner smiled and said 'That's it then' after some food arrived but alas a large plate of absolutely superb Sushi arrived. A great evening, non rushed and the Plum Wine always does the trick. Well recommended and hey, we are there for the food - We've visited many places where the decor is amazing but the food seldom equals it. This place hits the right notes and we'll be going again.

I love Aki. It was the first Japanese restaurant I went to when I first landed in London, and I keep going back.

It reminds me of the three years I spent in Japan, and is somewhere my Japanese wife likes to go to get that authentic taste.

I've tried other places of course, but all are either too snobby or too westernised to compete with Aki. Japanese staff, Japanese food, Japanese customers all bode well for it.

It's not the prettiest but it is the best

Spot on. Spent time in Japan and grew up in Sydney/Japan so know the good oil.

This is good service and real pub style Japanese at London prices but yeah...we live in London.

Tell your friends.
