Our favourite Sushi restaurant, great food the service is always excellent, staff are fantastic
It absolutely baffles me when I see this restaurant with nobody in it. Its great! Weve been there three times now in almost as many weeks, The waitresses are pleasant and nice. The drinks are cold., and the food fresh. Now I must say I saee skip drivers coming and going almost every ten minutes but WHY eat in nobody there? Great place with a fireplace and all. Now the front room kinda sucks as you have peoples headlights in your face all the time but the back room is awesome and we always request the back room. Anyway please try! Support this business and go...go eat in! get the hell outta the house.
I was passing through Langford, had a craving for Sushi. Never been to Akemi before. Beyond pleasantly surprised. One gets nervous when you walk into a restaurant and it's bereft of other guests. But I am happy to report, my skepticism was misplaced. Akemi sushi was outstanding, extremely sweet staff that were attentive but not overbearing. I ordered spicy salmon rolls (6 pieces) and my wife ordered tuna sashimi, mine was fresh and the pieces of salmon were very generous! My wife reported that her tuna slices were thick and very very fresh, without that "partially frozen food" taste you get with sashimi at some places. The cost was as expected for sushi, average meal for two will cost around $55.00 after tip and tax, you can get better value elsewhere but not with this level of freshness. I can't give a fair rating for atmosphere as the restaurant was empty while we were there, but the decor was tastefully minimal, yet still welcoming especially when combined with friendly staff. Well done Akemi! Keep it up!
I wish there was a 4.5 option. This place was good, but not my favourite so far. Generally good flavors and good quality, but one of several good places in Langford (thank god)
I have been going to Akemi since they had their previous establishment. I like the food, the people and the location, parking isn't always available out front but it's a small mall complex Prices everywhere are going up so I can't blame Akemi for doing the same. I have never had bad food or bad service and know all of the service staff by name. My only negative is the condition of the men's washroom but that is a problem for the landlord.
