Incredible incredible incredible! Chef Monaco was a great host, entertainer, and obviously, a great chef. We came in a little before seating and he welcomed us in while he prepared the fish. He was very fun to talk to and the way he walked us through each course made this a truly educational and fulfilling experience. Furthermore, the creativity on some of the courses pushed the limit of my understanding of omakase and even fine dining. The cherry on top was that when my girlfriend covered herself with her shawl, Chef Monaco turned the thermostat up, showing a true care for his diners. This place is truly a gem with extremely accessible parking (huge parking lot behind the CVS) and while I’d love to gatekeep, everyone should go and try Akem. Extremely worth it! Great food, great vibes, and a great guy behind the counter.

I've dined here several times. It's like having a semi-private chef serving you, one who is supremely competent. He needs to be supported by the rich cliental that inhabits Lexington, Belmont and other adjacent communities.

Our fourth time and it was as wonderful as the previous three. Fantastic sushi carefully conceived and prepared and served in a friendly and relaxed setting. Mike is a great host and has established a successful model to deliver a memorable dining experience. And we’ll of course be back again!

It was our best omakase expórtenle we had. The quality and creativity involved in the sushi plates were a great surprise. The chef was very friendly and explained all the different dishes and takes great care and thought on the preparation and offerings. The small and limiting setting gives a very nice and personal experience that was very enjoyable. Would definitely come back again.
