   Pretty good food—chef focuses on bringing out the natural flavors of the seafood itself. not sure if it’s worth the price tho.

   AMAZING! 10/10 for every aspect. I recommend the sake pairing & to definitely indulge a little extra in their à la carte menu

   Service was incredible, but for the price I think there exists better omakase.

   Akikos is as close to a seaside table in Japan with bountiful choices of all the delicacies of the Pacific Ocean. Sushi was prepared with attention accenting the fish's natural flavor with ginger or wasabi. We had 2 birthdays to celebrate and Akikos' staff provided extra service to celebrate!

   A Disappointing Experience in San Francisco Last week, I had a very bad experience at a restaurant while visiting San Francisco. I found the place through the OpenTable app and made a reservation without realizing that it had a fixed-price menu of an unbelievable $255 per person. At no point did the staff inform us about the cost—they simply started serving the dishes. I’m from São Paulo and I’m used to this kind of dining experience, but not at that price. The food and service were good, but the lack of transparency put me in a very uncomfortable position. Because of this, I don’t recommend the restaurant, despite the quality of the food and service. The feeling of being misled ruins the entire experience. Transparency is key!

   Thank you very much for your review. We agree that transparency is key. When you booked an experience, the prices are clearly displayed, and you receive an email confirmation that includes both the menu price and the restaurant policy. If you overlooked this double confirmation, that responsibility lies with you. We strive to be 100% transparent. How much more transparency do we need to provide?

    I’ve been here a couple times over the past few years and the service was outstanding previously. It was just a miss yesterday. Wasn’t offered a drink or the add on for the toro toast. Hopefully this is just a one off as this is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. So disappointing :(
