Located in the vibrant East Cut neighborhood, just a 15-minute walk from the Ferry Building, our diverse and sustainability-driven menu offers a contemporary interpretation of the traditional Omakase experience. We blend innovative takes on Japanese cuisine with local, seasonal ingredients and fish sourced from Tokyo’s renowned Toyosu Fish Market. Signature dishes, such as our Shokupan—grilled milk bread topped with toro and golden Kaluga caviar—and the aged, soy-cured bluefin tuna nigiri, showcase a harmonious fusion of premium seafood and thoughtfully curated ingredients, presented with creative flair.
Please note, we currently offer Omakase experiences exclusively for lunch and dinner, with no à la carte options available. For guests seeking to enhance their experience, additional nigiri selections are available a la carte from our nama menu after the tasting. The Omakase lunch experience is priced at $150 per guest, and the Omakase dinner experience is priced at $255 per guest.

Akikos offers an exquisite omakase experience, with a strong focus on the natural flavors of seafood. Guests praise the "amazing food presentation" and "superb service." While on the pricier side, the "exquisite favors" and "creativity of the small bites" make it a standout dining destination worth indulging in.

    Pretty good food—chef focuses on bringing out the natural flavors of the seafood itself. not sure if it’s worth the price tho.

    Akikos is as close to a seaside table in Japan with bountiful choices of all the delicacies of the Pacific Ocean. Sushi was prepared with attention accenting the fish's natural flavor with ginger or wasabi. We had 2 birthdays to celebrate and Akikos' staff provided extra service to celebrate!

    A Disappointing Experience in San Francisco Last week, I had a very bad experience at a restaurant while visiting San Francisco. I found the place through the OpenTable app and made a reservation without realizing that it had a fixed-price menu of an unbelievable $255 per person. At no point did the staff inform us about the cost—they simply started serving the dishes. I’m from São Paulo and I’m used to this kind of dining experience, but not at that price. The food and service were good, but the lack of transparency put me in a very uncomfortable position. Because of this, I don’t recommend the restaurant, despite the quality of the food and service. The feeling of being misled ruins the entire experience. Transparency is key!

    Thank you very much for your review. We agree that transparency is key. When you booked an experience, the prices are clearly displayed, and you receive an email confirmation that includes both the menu price and the restaurant policy. If you overlooked this double confirmation, that responsibility lies with you. We strive to be 100% transparent. How much more transparency do we need to provide?

    I’ve been here a couple times over the past few years and the service was outstanding previously. It was just a miss yesterday. Wasn’t offered a drink or the add on for the toro toast. Hopefully this is just a one off as this is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. So disappointing :(

    Very approachable while still being exceptional quality. This is an omakase experience that lets the quality of the fish and the combinations of unique flavors shine. Would highly recommend.
