AKEMI Japanese Restaurant

Upscale Edomae sushi establishment, where everything's a little fresher, and a little more well put together than your average sushi restaurant. Fish is absolutely fresh, and what really stands out here is a very special selection of Sake, served ice cold in a small box of water. As usual. I got the sushi and sashimi, and one roll. I was very impressed by the freshness. Interior is quiet and dark, a nice place to talk, centrally located on Solano, with a really nice staff. Highly recommended for dates, or romantic dinners.

Hands down my favorite sushi place in the Bay Area. Order anything off the menu, you can't go wrong. Worth traveling from out of town to go to. Good for small groups and special occasions if you want to spend a bit to have an exceptional meal.

Fresh sushi with excellent sake selection. I usually go for the sushi, but I'm in LOVE with their pork belly dish and the slightly tangy, mustard sauce they put on it. The restaurant's modern decor is not everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoy the huge slab of wood that's the sushi bar and the fun urchin-like lighting fixtures. They put different touches on some of their dishes which makes it special fun. For instance, I've never seen yuzu panne cotta before - delicious, creamy and tart. Highly recommend it.
