absolutely excellent sushi in the Forest Hill neighborhoods, and the scallop Maki roll was the ultimate best. so fresh and bouncy and full of delicious flavor, and the wasabi is ready made so it is crumbly and has a very distinct texture, like you put it on top of the sushi instead of mixing it when the soy sauce, also had the Forest Hill roll and the Akio roll and would definitely recommend the restaurant

This is a small place more for a take out and delivery set up but the service/food is excellent.

Very dishonest business. I gave the waiter my card to pay for the meal, with $15 in cash for the tip. The waiter even asked if the cash was for the tip and I explicitly told them that "Yes, the cash is for the tip". So they took my card to pay for the meal and pocketed the $15 cash tip. A few days later while looking over my transaction history, I saw that the restaurant charged me an extra $20. The waiter charged me an extra 25% tip on my card on top of the $15 cash tip I already gave them. The waiter didn't mention anything about the tip on the card when giving me the card back or anything, probably hoping I wouldn't notice at all. So the waiter basically took a $35 tip for a meal that costed $80, that's 44%. The waiter is sleazy, scummy, and dishonest. I will definitely be disputing the charge with my bank and never going there again. Was it really worth losing a valuable customer over $20?

Had 5 rolls and the yellowtail jalapeño appetizer delivered. It was all definitely very tasty, but the rolls were so small! I hope the restaurant will consider making the rolls larger, otherwise I don't think I would order again.

This place used to be good. Now it's not good. Pre Covid, I would go and enjoy the food. Understandably, they did not open for dining for a long time after lock downs lifted. I went in for 2 thing's yesterday and I was really surprised at the price and then when I opened up my bag, I www even more surprised by the quality of the food. I ordered a spicy yellowtail roll and tamago sashimi. It came out to $21.50. I was told that there would be 5 pieces of the egg omlette w the order/ that was a little confusing.I opened the box and saw the they scrambled 2 eggs, added soy and mirin and cut it into 5 pieces. It was not tamago. The yellowtail roll was sloppy and broke apart in the box. Disappointing in many ways.

Sushi Akio has always been a solid sushi place when I'm having cravings and I always find myself ordering their lunch specials (every day until 4pm) from time to time. Currently it's around $14 for 3 rolls (with your choice of soup or salad), but I still think it's a decent price compared to other places. My go-to rolls are the Alaskan roll, eel avocado, and yellowtail. I usually get takeout more often than eating in because it's a small spot that can get busy. I've ordered from them over the course of many years and the food and service has been pretty consistent, as well.

We originally made a resso for 7 people for 12 on Sunday. We weren't able to make it until 1:30 so we called ahead and luckily they were too busy that day and were able to accommodate. We wanted to do omakase so we took over the sushi bar (which fits about 8).For $90, you get 16 courses. I can't remember all the pieces we ate but I do remember that my favorite pieces included the sweet shrimp (especially the fried shrimp head), wagyu, uni with caviar, fatty yellowtail, scallop, and monkfish liver. I think this was my first time trying monkfish liver and it was great. It's rich but it came served with some kind cucumber mango lime salsa, which sounds like a weird pairing but it just worked. They also kept the sake flowing for us, which made for a fun brunch. From the outside, it looks like a regular sushi takeout place, but don't sleep on the omakase!
