Great place for gathering with friends. The cocktails are very good. Our waiter was very courteous.

10 out of mf 10 !!!! Service? Great. Environment? Great. Food?! GREAT!! Definitely recommend and will be coming again. Tried the Spicy Salmon, Rock & Roll, Shaggy Dog, and for dessert Tempura Cheesecake yum!

We loved this place. Really great place and great all day happy hour on Sunday! The Octopus Sonomono Salad was one of the best we have ever had. Great miso. Super fast service.... we were starving and the food literally came in like 5 min. We couldn't believe it. I also ordered my favorite which is a spicy scallop hand roll and it also was one of the best ever. We got spicy edamame which was good but a bit too spicy for us. Great atmosphere. Came in at 6:30 and were immediately seated. Ordered within minutes and by 6:35 had our miso and salad. Then 6 min later all our food came. By 7:10 the entire restaurant was fully packed so our timing was great. We will def be back.

This will always be one of my favorite spots for sushi - they always have some sort of happy hour going on, and the sushi tastes fresh! The service is always very attentive and nice, even when it's packed. The ambiance is casual but can be nicer too - great for date night or casual dinner with girlfriends!

Aka is by far the undisputed reverse happy hour sushi in town. Let me explain. Aka has been here forever. Way before the hand roll, high end omakase and fancy sushi places popped up all over Houston. Their sushi is good to enjoy regular price, but I enjoy coming here the most for HH or reverse HH for cheap good sushi. Can't go wrong with any of the rolls they offer. I like the smoked hamachi, crunchy shrimp roll and of spicy tuna roll. They also have deals on yakitori and appetizers - can't go wrong with the agedashi tofu. They also have decent HH drink prices. Service is always great, and the restaurant has decent decor and relaxing lighting. Aka is really the first place that comes to my mind when talking good and cheap HH and reverse HH sushi dining. Check this place out if you've never been!

Ever since we discovered their happy hour (3-7pm) and reverse happy hour (after 9pm I believe) sushi, this place became our go to place for happy hour sushi. Their sushi is not the best but it's good. For $9.50, my favorite is the shrimp crunch roll. We also ordered the hamachi sampler which I thought was okay. The cajun and dynamite roll and the agadashi tofu were good also. The total for 3 sushi rolls, 1 hamachi sampler, and an agadashi tofu was $6. My husband and I came here on a Wednesday night after 9pm and there were still a good amount of people but we were seated right away and we didn't have to wait. They have a small parking lot but I can see parking may be challenging if they are busy. The service was fast which was great. Overall, I recommend this place especially for happy hour sushi.

The lunch option here is available during the week and on weekends through 3pm. It is unbeatable: 3 rolls with soup and salad for $19. We were here on Saturday. The hostess initially didn't give us the menu until prompted, which I thought was weird. I asked for the lunch menu, and she said, "It's not available but I will get it for you." ... except it was available, as it was written on the menu. Odd. Anyway, we tried both salad dressings (ginger and miso) and liked both; the non-creamy one is saltier but they are both savory and sweet. As for the rolls, this is about to be the most basic b review - I guess the selection was also that. The spicy tuna was legitimately spicy and was the winner for me. The rest are chopped fish bits with sugar, mayo, and rice. - Spicy Tuna 5/5 - Tiger Eye 4/5 - Crazy roll 4/5 - Shrimp Crunchy 4/5 - Spicy Salmon 1/5 - tasted weirdly fishy While this isn't fancy affair, at $6/roll, I am more than sold and satisfied. We'll be back!
