I love this place! I've been going here for over a year regularly and the service is always great! The food is always delicious, my favorite being the crunchy spicy salmon roll and udon noodle soup The seating outside is beautiful and the lighting is perfect! Will always come back!
This is a really solid Japanese restaurant with great service and it's a good option if you have a large group craving sushi. We had a party of 6 and not only were we able to get a reservation for a Friday night but they were extra courteous and texted me the day before to ask if we wanted to sit inside or outside. We sat at the big, long, wooden table and it was a nice communal vibe. They have a really cool outdoor patio but we didn't sit back there this time (I've been back there before though and it's nice). The sushi was good. Nothing to write home about but it was solid. Good quality. The restaurant was very clean and I really appreciated that. I love that they have Japanese beers because those are my favorite. I also loved that they have sake - but the prices weren't great. I think I paid $15-$20 per small glass of sake. It probably would've been cheaper to get a bottle but since not many of my friends drink sake that wasn't really an option. I probably wouldn't get individual sake glasses again just because the price was too high. I also like that they had green tea ice cream and fried ice cream. That was a fun way to end the meal. All in all, it's a good place. Quality wise, you can get some really outstanding sushi when you go deeper into Brooklyn like Bushwick or even east Williamsburg, but for Williamsburg proper this place was solid. It's a staple and I would definitely go back again.
Always on time for pickup. Selection is pretty good for sushi. I usually go for their lunch specials as it is the best deal for sushi when I want a tempura roll during lunch. Their ambiance is really nice as it has a Japanese feel with the food furnishing. When I have sat down before for dinner, they were very quick and made sure that we had all that we needed. Their bento boxes are really good too! I mainly go here for the sushi, but what I like is that the bento has options to come with sushi. Some places don't have that, but this place does!
What great service that they have here. Every time our water was low, it was filled to the top. Pretty good. The waiters came by frequently to attend to whatever it might be. However, I doubt that you need to make reservations as there's plenty of seating in the back space or in the main dining area. Food wise, I ordered the spicy seafood soup, which was alright. It's only for one person, as it's not a huge serving.the Golden Dragon roll was pretty good as the mango taste stood out. The classic roll combo was all of the items that sushi places all have. The matcha tiramisu tasted great as it's a combination of both desserts that I enjoy.
I've only ordered delivery from Ako so I can't speak to their dine-in experience, but the sushi here is really solid and not too expensive. I've gotten the spicy roll combo a couple times now and it's a great variety at a good value, as you get 6 pieces of spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail, crunchy spicy salmon all in one. The crunchy spicy salmon is by far the best one in the combo though!!
No frills, but solid sushi spot. Service was quick and friendly, and they never miss out on the details. Had some sushi pieces a la carte as well as some rolls. Also tried an order of the rock shrimp appetizer which came with a creamy spicy mayo sauce. Only thing is their outdoor seating smelled a bit funky.. granted we are outdoors but maybe it should be a little bit more well kept?
Ako is a great spot for inexpensive sushi and lunch sets slap bang in the middle of Bedford Avenue not far from the subway. I first came here by default when the restaurant I was planning on going to was closed and I've now been back many times. The room is pleasant with well spaced tables and there's a great seating area out back in the garden. The servers are friendly. The lunch sets are great value, they have a few types to choose from, not just the standard bentos and the portions are generous. There's a good variety of fish available and it's well prepared, rice is good too. Love it for a quick lunch!
Ako was such a great find!! Stopped in for a very late lunch after having a very late breakfast so I didn't order much but I was really thrilled with my sushi roll. It was some of the freshest, tastiest sushi I've had in a while-- salmon was absolutely buttery. Would love to come back and try some more off the menu and sit on their beautiful back patio! (12-19-22) Update-- I returned for dinner this evening and was able to be seated on their back patio right away! It was a little cold but they have heaters so wasn't unbearable. The vibes in the back garden are soo cute and chill, I loved the attention to detail. And food was just as good as I was expecting, I really enjoyed my sushi rolls. Also was pleased to see that their happy hour goes past 6 pm because we ordered some wine when we arrived around 6:30 and were charged the happy hour price! Service was lovely and food came out in good time. New fav sushi spot!
