Well…Sushi in Safeway or even 99 ranch has a better taste than here. Sashimi is TERRIBLE (with this price). Ramen is no better than the instant noodles (see the “poached eggs”). Okonomiyaki is too salty. Will never come again.

I ordered.the Spicy Tina but I wanted it deep fried and the chef obliged. It was fresh, very delicious and with a slight crunch from the tempura batter. It was great!!! Excellent atmosphere and good service.

AKEMI Japanese Restaurant provided a dining experience that left me with mixed feelings, resulting in a three-star rating. While there were aspects of my visit that were enjoyable, there were also areas that fell short of expectations.

Hot food tastes great! You can tell the freshness of the veg, even after they are deep fried (tempura)!

It is a fulfilling experience. The combination dinner is of good size. The Waygu beef is soft. The salmon is good. Shirashi is delightful. Tampura is yummy. Overall I like this place. My family wants to come back again. I am impressed with the Japanese maple trees that they have outdoor. Those are not cheap.

Upscale Edomae sushi establishment, where everything’s a little fresher, and a little more well put together than your average sushi restaurant.

Food is great. Server was nice, but this place is chronically understaffed.

Akemi had an enjoyable ambiance with a wood and stone feeling to the place. The lighting definitely sets the mood. The garlic edamame was phenomenal! A must get. We also very much enjoyed the Hawaii role.

Sushi crab mix was a funny taste and texture. Other rolls not impressive.

Hands down my favorite sushi place in the Bay Area. Order anything off the menu, you can’t go wrong. Worth traveling from out of town to go to. Good for small groups and special occasions if you want to spend a bit to have an exceptional meal.
