Akiko

The ingredients are super fresh, and some of the fish are the kind you’d usually only find at upscale Japanese restaurants. The sashimi is incredibly smooth, the wagyu beef and mussels are tender and full of flavor, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable. Their Happy Premium Menu lets you try high-end dishes at a more budget-friendly price. The service is great, and the food came out really fast. Love this place!

This is my boyfriend & Is favorite sushi spot in Houston. Their selection is amazing, and the fish is always fresh. The staff is always above & beyond. 10/10 recommend, can’t believe it doesn’t stay packed.

Outstanding! My sister and I tried this lovely restaurant for the first time today. We ordered the mini sushi boat and grilled edamame. Every piece of sushi was delicious. The beautiful presentation can be seen below. Our server, Mai, was so friendly & attentive. We will definitely return.

This place is exceptional! Everything, from the menu layout, the serving dishes, the waitress, and the cleanliness (including the restroom), was spot on! We were traveling from Seattle and absolutely loved it! Their sushi rolls were delicious! We also appreciate the interior design and ambient music. 5 stars!

Specialty sushi is very enjoyable. Froi gras/eel, Japanese waygu, melts in your mouth. The hibachi, not so much. Shrimp and steak was over cooked, chewy.

This is a newly opened location. Very clean and peaceful. They don't serve alcohol, but it is BYOB. The service is good although maybe a little too attentive because our server seemed to be at our table every 5 minutes. All was good though and I highly recommend.

All the dishes we ordered were delicious and fresh! Will visit again in the future.

It was a nice and soothing atmosphere-very clean and organized with calming instrumental music playing in the background. We ordered the steamed edamame, foie gras chawanmushi, veggie tempura, wasabi tobiko, chirashi bowl, salmon skin salad, salmon skin hand roll, and caterpillar roll (mainly for my 5 year old). We didn’t know what to expect but were pleasantly surprised with all the food, especially the salmon skin dishes! Skin was warm yet crispy. The veggie tempura was hot with the right amount of batter. The egg custard in the chawanmushi was smooth and hot but the foie gras was just done. I prefer mine a little under but that’s a personal preference. The staff was very attentive with good attitudes. Would definitely come back again!

This place was amazing! The sushi is fresh and the sashimi and nigiri was beyond fresh! The staff so nice and the ambience even better. Hope it's here to stay because I will definitely be returning. Try the scorpion and the red moon rolls!

This place is really good. We came here a while back and I forgot to write the review. When we came they didn't have their liquor license yet so we didn't get drinks. But the sushi was really good and fresh. The service was excellent. Our server was very attentive and helpful. They even accommodated a special request for a roll. We will certainly be b

This is a tough one, but I settled on 3 stars because that's supposed to mean "Ok" and that's what I felt overall about my visit to Akiko. They recently opened off of San Felipe in the same shopping center as Randall's, Los Tio's, and Adair Kitchen. They have tons of seating, booths, tables, and a long bar top. The interior looks brand new since they just opened up, so everything still has that new restaurant gloss. We came by for a late lunch while running errands, and it was more or less empty besides a guy or two eating at the bar. We ordered sake and wine, but they don't have their liquor license yet FYI. The lunch menu has some very well priced sushi combo deals($13 - $20), bento boxes ($16), as well as hot lunch combo meals that come with soup or salad, and a bowl of steamed rice alongside the main protein you pick ($10-$13). I was really surprised by the pricing compared to other sushi spots in the area. I settled on a sushi Lunch Combo, the Maki B, which was one roll of your choice and chef's pick of 5 nigiri pieces. My tablemate went with the Sesame Chicken from their Hot Lunch Combos. Service was prompt and friendly. They checked in on us a ton, especially after handing us the check while we were still finishing our meal. They kept checking to see if I had put down my card which was offputting. Otherwise, they did a fine job refilling waters, and bringing food out. The quality of the sushi and other food is what makes me settle on "ok", because if you're looking for a high level serious sushi meal (MF Sushi, Uchi, 5kinokawa, Kata Robata, etc.), this isn't it. If you're looking for mid grade sushi that won't break the bank (Miyako, Ra Sushi, places where sushi rolls covered in mayonnaise and stuffed with cream cheese make you happy, etc.) this will work fine, and may even surprise you at how affordable they are. The nigiri rice was cold and firm, the sesame chicken was clearly a frozen bag of premade chicken nugs covered in an oversweet syrupy sauce, the soy sauce was super low sodium almost like water, and overall it just felt like a phoned in meal, but again, maybe I was expecting too much. I suppose the short review is they get 3 stars if you're a pricy sushi fan and expecting a top tier high quality Japanese meal, but 4 stars if you like a cheap sushi deal that will scratch your sushi itch.

All the dishes we ordered were delicious and fresh! Love the decoration of the store, I will visit again in the future.

So this is my second time coming here and I really like it. Its seems to be a pretty new place but I think the design of it and the interior is very nice and a lot of space for seats as well. Everyone is very friendly and helpful both times I came. I enjoyed the sushi a lot. I got the super Catapiller roll and it comes with shrimp tempura and eel. This was one of my new favorites now. The Takoyaki was alright as the cream stuffing was as sweet as I was expecting it to be. This is a new item on the dish and they are testing it out from what I was told. The manager came to my table and asked for my opinion on it as it was the only thing I didn't finish and I gave her my honest answer and she was very friendly and understanding and even said she would pass along my recommendation to the chef and I hope it works out for them. Overall I am a big fan of their service and food. I know I will be coming back for sure.

Bad experience before close. I ordered on uber eats , in the picture the shaggy dog has avocado but when they give to you its is only shrimp tempura. Also I requested add ons and the resteraunt updated the total of my order so charged me for those add-ons but DIDNT even ADD it on to my sushi. Thirdly, the shrimp tasted bad like they are trying to clear the shelves of old food. Terrible terrible service. All I wanted was crunch and eel sauce and I would have been fine but no, they charged me for it and didn't give it to me. SC

I discovered this place a few weeks ago and have loved it! I think it's fairly new, have been here four times since . Service Is so fast! I love sashimi and it's always very fresh. I think they're still working on their liquor license and can't wait to have dinner with a drink soon! Food is great!

Absolutely delicious! The service was fast sand the staff was so friendly and helpful. There are a ton of gluten free options available as well. 10/10 would recommend!

Place is good - need to keep it alive. My go to lunch spot. Hibachi (steak and shrimp) combo plus gyoza are my go to.

The food was good, service great! We ordered a variety of dishes including the kids bento box and a hibachi plate. We had some sushi too The tempura was outstanding!

They have a variety of special rolls. You can't go wrong with any of the lunch specials that are reasonably priced. The quality of the fish for nigiri/sashimi is pretty good!

The service was friendly, and the food was some of the best hibachi Style cooking that I have ever had, and the tempura vegetables were top-notch! I highly recommend this restaurant

This place opened fairly recently and I've already gone 3 times! It's been pretty empty when we've been, probably because it's still new. I hope more people start coming in because this is probably the best place I've had in this neighborhood that isn't really expensive. I love sushi but most places around this area are really pricey. This place is a great balance of reasonably priced while still having really great quality fish. The lunch specials are especially great! I usually get a lunch bento with sashimi and one of the cooked meats for my toddler. Service has also been really good. We will keep coming back!

Thank you Michael for the delicious sushi! Fresh sushi and friendly service every time I come!

It was an odd time on the weekend to come have a late lunch. The service and food was stellar!

I've been 4 times over the last month and always order something different. It always hits the spot. Delicious and incredible service!

I've been going to Aki Sugarland the past decade and they've always done it right. They excel in every aspect of their menu - delicious sushi, Chinese food and Hibachi! This location is no different and always deliver great food & service. Family friendly or great for date nights. Foie gras chawanmushi was silky and flavorful! Rolls were fresh and dessert was delicious. My only feedback is to add truffle oil to the truffle roll, but love that they added real truffle shavings! Our server Gigi has as fantastic! Will definitely be back!

My friend and I found this place while we were shopping nearby. The place is clean and has a nice ambiance which is quite surprising when it's next to a grocery store. The service is great. The food is decent but for someone who is a sushi lover and eats sushi all the time, I would rate the sushi a 6.5/10. The fish is nice but the sauce (ex spicy mayo) taste different from what I am used to which gave it a taste that I'm not used to. However, this is a personal preference and I can see others loving it.

Too expensive for HEB quality sushi. Although the service was great, we will not be back.

The interior looks really nice and clean. The service was also great. Food came out surprisingly fast and the quality was really good. Hope they can get more business!

Food and service were great. My favorite was the foie gras chawanmushi. The signature rolls and nigiri we got were yummy as well. Would definitely come back to try more items!

I love coming here. Plenty of parking. Comfortable seating. I live down the street and it's a nice lunch spot. I always order the habachi combo. The veggies that come with it are juicy. Service is outstanding I love coming here and being greeted with a warm smile by the lovely waitresses. Thank you.

We noticed this place opened up near us and decided to give it a shot. Food and service were great!
