Brad TMarch 15, 2015Great sushi and sashimi. Fresh and great flavors, good sake selection and a large cooked menu. We lucked out and got seats w/no res right away but res is def the safe way to go. Still family- owned!
Mela MelFebruary 26, 2015Nice choice and sushi, sashimi and cooked Japanese food. And everything was fresh! Really liked the aubergine tasty and originally cooked. Also the gyoza and the sashimi was remarkable. Price awesome
Alexey MorozovApril 30, 2023Still going great after all those years - don’t expect New York style $300 tasting menu and ambiance - it’s a former pub after all ;) the staff is very nice and the fish is fresh
Akari rolls, chicken nanban, tempura moriawase are great, satisfying dishes. All 3 fish carpaccio on the specials are to die for. For sthg a bit more adventurous, try mackerel sushi and Takosu.
Stefanie ColburnMay 11, 2013Shocking service. But the food makes up for it. The sushi is very fresh and quick. Pork Katsu not as great as reviews say. Black sesame seed ice cream a must try
Tanvi DewanMarch 24, 2015The food is great from the sushi to the hot food! Try the noodle salad -one of my favs!
Russell BarnesNovember 11, 2016Wide selection of really tasty food (chirashi don is yum, as are the mackerel dishes), friendly staff, nice atmosphere and fair prices.
Jordi LlobetOctober 22, 2014Best japanese restaurant in the area. Try as much as possible. I recommend to reservate. Very fast service.
Andy BurgessDecember 30, 2013Delicious range of sushi and hot Japanese dishes in a gastropub setting. Excellent range of Japanese beer and sake.
Nice sushi, but don't neglect the rest of the menu! Chicken nanban and gyu tataki 👌
R NalinAugust 3, 2013Great sushi! Be sure to double check the bill, as we had a 2 rolls on our bill we didn't order (27 pounds).
Harry Earle-MundilOctober 21, 2018Biggest inari I've ever seen! Great prices, salmon skin roll not so good
Alejandro LopezJune 21, 2013Try Tuna Tataki for a great mixture of flavors. Small menu with a good variety of choices.
Ricardo Sanchez-SaezDecember 19, 2014Quite nice Japanese. Sushi is excellent. Tempura is ok. Desserts are nice, but very overpriced. Good service (but not superfriendly). Come here if you are fancying some Japanese cuisine.
Vanya ChulkovDecember 2, 2012The salmon and avocado inside out maki is soooo good and so is the ebi fry
Tommy FinchJanuary 18, 2010The sashimi is delicious! (and of course, goes well with the plum wine and sake. mmm)Always a good sign when a Japanese restaurant is full of Japanese people!
Alessandro CabbiaFebruary 4, 2014Very good ramen, the same need to be said of sushi. Nice place to eat
Alex Sng Kian HuatOctober 16, 2022Super authenticity.. Nihonji foods ..enjoy Katsu and tempura prawns 🍤
Great tofu salad with homemade sesame dressing. Green tea ice cream is a must!
Kurt HaaOctober 31, 2015Great sushis, Nigiris and bentos!! But horrible venue. The service is disappointing....
Lars PanzerbjørnJanuary 17, 2016Wow, the service is so shockingly bad that I refused to pay the discretionary service charge. Food arrived haphazardly. My GF's cod arrived 5 minutes before the salad, and mine 20 minutes after.
Alberto ChanAugust 6, 2016Black cod with miso was amazing. However, the sashimi was really average and thus overpriced.
Rebecca PurbhooMarch 9, 2014Food was good but service was terrible. Lots of staff all standing around more interested in speaking to each other than acknowledging the customer! Won't go back in a hurry.
Suzi Edwards-AlexanderApril 21, 2014Hmmmm. The sushi rolls were better than the fried things. Chicken was a particular disappointment. Sushi Sasa in Angel is much better.
- Gary SimmonsMay 27, 2013Good sushi. Read our full review on Scoff London: http://scofflondon.com/restaurants/akari-review-n1/
Sheen YapMarch 13, 2010The yellow tail cheek is ace and also make sure you reserve some space for the homemade cheesecake
Daniela Las DuderineAugust 20, 2010the best sushi restaurant in london! try the tofu salad and marinated tuna

"The Beef Tataki was awesome. The cauliflower delicious, the sashimi really good, the tofu was excellent, the sea bass delicious. A few courses were a little underwhelming but on the whole a great meal"
