What People Are Saying About Akiko's Sushi Bar
The Editor
Patrick Heig

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…

Good food
by krisstopher
Just moved to the city and was searching for a good sushi place, it was very small (seats about 12) I ordered the terryaki chicken 4 pc. california roll special which I liked because I usually like my sushi with eel/unagi sauce but they put some kind or seasoning on the rice where it tastes great without. I also ordered the smoked salmon (Sake Maki) which was alright but, a bit dry (my boyfriend liked it).My boyfriend ordered the spicy salmon roll (only 2 pc.) both of us weren't too fond of it, it was a strange roll and the salmon was very mushy(shredded?). Also there were 2 things flying around that looked like mosquitoes or something that scared us but, overall i think I like the place my food was good and they didn't charge me for the glass I broke. I really wish there was more of a selection of rolls though.
- Pros: warm, woman sushi chef
- Cons: small, humid, mosquitoes?

oustanding sushi and a cheap price
by Mikazz
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.

Great sushi
by ktino
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!!
