What People Are Saying About Akiko's Sushi Bar

Mint green walls, snug Formica tables and good-luck cat statues are all that adorn this 16-seat, walk-in closet-sizedS sushi joint. Odd-slash-innovative rolls like the Lizzy (salmon, avacado, and lemon?) or Sumo (tuna, marinated shrimp, garlic and lemon soy sauce) are light on actual fish but generous enough to make this one of the few sushi spots where one can fill up for $20. Short and basic selections of nigiri and sashimi are also available while non-sushi eaters can opt for one of several cooked udon, donburi and teriyaki dishes. A hole-in-the-wall to be sure--the latchkey bathroom is located in the laundry room of the adjacent apartment building--but clean, fast and cheap.

Visiting from Houston, found this hole in the wall sushi place that had the most outstanding sushi at a great price. 2 people ate for $50 ( 2 spider rools "12 pieces each", 6 pieces of sashimi, 2 miso soup). A place to try out for sure. That Htown comin through yaoo ming

I was looking for a place to try sushi while in the SF area, and came across Akiko's. My fiance and I decided to give it a try & were pleasantly surprised. The sushi was so fresh and was delicious! IWe loved the ambiance of the place, being a small "hole in the wall" type of place it made us feel at home. The staff was friendly and prices are also pretty good considering it was in the city. I will definitely be coming back here on my next trip to SF!!

I'm from the east coast and I love finding good sushi places in SF. This wasn't one of them. I ordered takeout at 9:00 pm and when I got there to pick up, the first thought in my mind as I opened the door was "fishy". This is never a good sign. I took the sushi and sashimi combo back to the hotel. The salad was good, but all the shashimi tasted bad. I should have refused the order as soon as I smelled it. The sad thing is that since I don't live here, I won't be giving this cozy place another chance.
