Restaurants near Hillside Natural Area

Excellent food and service; variety of menu items to suit all preferences. A go-to spot for me and any guests.

Food and service was great but it was really noisy. Drinks were just Ok. Difficult to carry on a convo because of the noise and tight seating arrangements.

As always, amazing food and equally amazing service. It is truly a gem. Very creative food menu and equally creative cocktail menu.

This is a neighborhood gem with a colorful vibe. The drinks are good.

Dining at Akemi is always a satisfying experience: the food is delicious, fresh and a good value for the quality and size of portions. I typically order the Salmon miso bento, it comes with delicious white miso soup, salmon grilled with umami rich miso sauce and extra on side, cabbage salad, roasted brussel sprouts with honey mustard glaze and rice; enough food to take a portion home for next days lunch. Love the ambience when they play soft Jazz : pop music not so much since I still like to have conversations with my dining companions. I’ve come here many times over many years and it is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants for all kinds of occasions.
