sushi aka

We had a really good experience. Food is awesome and service is good. The atmosphere is a bit dark lighting so elders have to use a flashlight on their phone to see. First, the chef offers a tasty free tuna and avocado starter. I got a Roppongi drink and it was great! The chicken teriyaki is SO good. The rainbow roll is so good too!! It’s dessert week so they offered a banana split and strawberry cheesecake and they were to DIE for! Definitely recommend checking this place out! Mike is awesome!

Wow! Just wow! This hidden gem is a MUST VISIT! Dinner here was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The service was superb, the staff was very friendly and extremely attentive, I couldn't ask for better.

We got the calamari and one of the appetizer specials. Both were awesome. The dipping sauce for the calamari was on another level!

My friend and I both got platters, he got the 40 piece sashimi combo and I got the chef's choice platter. The food was absolutely stunning. The quality was immaculate, some of the best sushi I've had outside of Japan.

I ordered dessert, got the blackberry swirl icecream, it was stunning!

All in all an outstanding experience. I'll definitely be back and I cannot express how highly I recommend this place.

Excellent! We've been dying for a real sushi spot....Finally! Everything was fabulous! We had the chef's sashimi/sushi combo, uni soup, toro, cheesecake- try it all! Fish was fresh, there was a wonderful selection. Our waitress was also so sweet. My only complaint is that we did pay for something that we never received as we ordered a lot, so something got lost in the shuffle of bringing many dishes out. We will still return, we absolutely enjoyed our meal!

The most authentic sushi and sashimi place I ever tasted here in Virginia! We were station in Japan for 3 years and I fall in love with their culture, place and food. We’ve been here 5 years now, so far this is the best place I found. This place is so amazing and so authentic sushi, specially the sashimi! AKA is local and own by the chief that work closely with the famous Japanese sushi chef from NYC! I don’t know if you’re that craze with sushi and sashimi to drive an hour away but it’s all worth it! It’s the closest one from authentic Japanese sushi and sashimi! From their salad, appetizer, main course, up to dessert (red bean cream brûlée) ! Even their alcohol is really good!.
Highly recommended!

Best sushi that I have ever had...and we have traveled extensively here and abroad. Highly recommend making a reservation! Staff and service are amazing. They only had three servers, but those women were working it. Be generous, we left our waitress a 25% tip!!!

I’ve been here three times so far and it’s always amazing. The service, food and ambience is just perfect whether you’re on a date or out with coworkers.

They usually have Toro (fattier tuna cut) and last night we were able to try Wagyu beef for the first time, which was definitely worth trying. This place is an experience worth talking about. From the appetizers and cocktails (the bahn mi, the Hiroshima heat, the rappongi etc) to the entrees and the sushi (salmon with shitaki risotto), it’s delicious. Make sure to try the specials too!

You can spend $100 and have a great dinner, but I highly recommend making this restaurant a special occasion and going all out. Their selection is one of the best. Trust the chef and the servers. They’ll take care of you!

Michael, you're a culinary genius! Best 2 dinners I've had in years! Staff and service are outstanding, and I loved sitting outside under the umbrellas. Tell Noah he did a great job, and I hope he enjoys that cigar!

It's a small Japanese sushi restaurant located at historical downtown Suffolk, the food is amazing, I have been to lot of Japanese restaurants in my life but the food here it's in another level, the taste, the food presentation and service.
I heard the owner/chef Michael worked at renowned chef Morimoto 's restaurant.
They many options on the menu and some secret menus that you can ask your server, I tried the pork belly fried rice which was AMAZING, I never knew a pork belly could taste sooo good, the fat melt in your mouth. It's the best fried rice I had in my life.
Also, try the sushis and rolls they are amazing! (Suggestion, rolls 239 and fuji rolls).

HANDS DOWN BEST SUSHI WE HAVE EVER HAD!!! My daughter and I placed a to go order, usually we go to Iron Chef but the last few times the selection has been limited and the quality has been subpar. So we opted to try Sushi aka. We placed out order said it would be about 40 minutes, when we arrived it was ready. The staff was exceptional, called me by name during our brief interaction and on my way out. The atmosphere was intimate and beautiful. Now the sushi itself was phenomenal! We got a couple of rolls and a salad, but ingredients were super fresh and high quality, perfect rice very fresh, presentation for to go was impressive. Also the only time I got take and had enough ginger, Wasabi, and dressing for my order. The use of fresh ingredients made for the most delicious sushi. Sushi aka is our new spot, and we look forward to trying out other items on the menu.

Fantastic first visit celebrating a birthday. Will certainly be back again. Sushi AKA has your typical traditional sushi offerings but also has a huge selection of fusion style dishes. The quality of the fish and the rice was top notch. We had fantastic service even on a busy weekday night. I do wish they had traditional seating at a sushi bar counter but that area is more of a service / kitchen area for the restaurant. Very understandable with the size of the space. Also had some nice saki offerings I have not indulged in before and a solid price point. Cheers.

We are new to the area and were excited to find a new sushi place. INCREDIBLE food and experience. The presentation was beautiful. The atmosphere is beautiful. The service was fantastic and what we most noticed was how thick the fish slices were, they do not skimp on anything!!!

Looking forward to visiting you all again, thanks!

The options are plenty. The group of people I was with raved about the taste. I enjoyed the fried rice. What was really awesome is the service. We were drinking wine next door and we ordered and they brought it across the street for us. Exceptional service!

The outdoor seating was very pleasant though at times fairly loud because of the busy street. My dog was welcome outside. The servers were very polite and attentive - especially when customizing a roll. My friend ordered the lump crab California roll with crispy onions on top. I ordered the cowboy roll and island roll. The island roll was delicious - would definitely reorder. The cowboy roll was unique and tasty, but I wouldn't get it again.

This place has some really good sushi! I've been to a few "sushi" restaurants in the area and I have to say that this little hole in the wall is probably the best sushi spot in the area. The service was great, the attention to detail was great, everything was great!!! I'd eat here again without a doubt. This certainly won't be my last time eating at this little hole in a wall.

Another amazing night. Best sushi and chef there is! Every dish was made to perfection. Even better when shared with friends! ... Please excuse a few picture typos... Too much beer and Saki!!!

An Outstanding Sushi 🍣 Restaurant is the best I have ever had, and I would definitely recommend it to everyone! Sushi Aka, Suffolk Va.

Hidden Sushi place you thought couldn't exist. Best Sushi in Hampton Roads, likely the region. Worth the trip, always an adventure, always surprised, always impressed.

Incredible sushi restaurant. An excellent place to try new things. Most of the menu items have a unique twist (i.e. the edamame has lime zest on it and the shrimp tempura roll has goat cheese. They are both game changers in case you're wondering.) and everything is made fresh to order. This is not a place to grab a cheap, quick bite of sushi. This is a place to take your time, savor, and enjoy the company and atmosphere. PS. It's worth a visit for the salmon carpaccio (sp?) alone. Desserts and cocktails are great too. 👌🍣🍹🍨

My husband and I were out shopping one day about a year plus ago and saw this restaurant so we had to try it, now I believe this is the best restaurant in Virginia, better than any I’ve tried, we go back at least once a month, food is always great and service as well, the chef is fantastic

Definitely enjoyed ourselves at this sushi restaurant. Great costumer service! This place does fill up quick so I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time, the team is pretty responsive on that.
Will be back!
