Best Japanese Restaurants in South Salt Lake

We brought four friends here who are from out of town and they were fascinated. Everything we ordered (two sushi rolls, steak, sukiyaki, poke don, tempura, miso, teriyaki chicken, sake) was amazing. We sat at one of the cool authentic booths there where you take off your shoes to sit. The waitress burned her hand on the sukiyaki as she was delivering it, and it spilled on one of our shoes. She was so apologetic and tried to clean it but it will need a more thorough washing. But we were more concerned about her hand because it was very, very hot. If you're going for the first time, the sukiyaki (we like the beef) is unreal. We also like the mai zuru and geisha rolls. Such a great meal and great experience for the price.

Lovely restaurant, highly recommend doing omakase! Drinks were also delicious, loved that they used Japanese spirits as well.

This is the second time I’ve brought my family here and we love it! The staff is very friendly, the ambiance is great and the food is fantastic!!

The best experience we have ever had. My Dad had an amazing birthday dinner.

First visit to aker since opening in August. We had a great experience and the food was outstanding. Too many plates to try. We had a combination of small plates and shared the Chilean Sea Bass. Adelyn was great addition to our experience along with the rest of the staff. You can’t go wrong with an evening out at aker!
