Aka Sushi

3.5 stars rounded up. Their raw fish is terrible, but I should have known better given the price point. Order rolls only, which are huge in size and worth the money. Two friends and I visited without a reservation when the higher quality sushi restaurant they recommended had a 30 minute wait. We were seated immediately in a bright cafeteria-like dining hall. - £7.99 crispy squid. Different than what I’m used to , but I liked it! The squid wasn’t too tough, and the chunks were big - £3 sweet potato fries. Standard - £12.99 OMG roll. This was good! The salon is cooked, thankfully, and the roll is tempura fried - £13.99 unagi dragon roll. This was okay, as I felt there was little unagi per piece. This roll is slightly healthier since it’s not fried - £15.99 mixed sashimi, 15 pieces. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. My friends had warned that their tuna was not good, which I agree with. Most cheaper sushi restaurants have bland tuna. But even their salmon sashimi was bland, and salmon is a fattier fish! This was some low grade frozen stuff. The tiny amaebi shrimp were decent, and I think the other white fish was mackerel, which was tasteless Great service, but avoid the raw fish.

Really nice little sushi restaurant in Liverpool. Varied menu with lots of options. The special rolls are so delicious, only huge so it’s very easy to order more than you can fit in. The fish is great quality and very fresh. Has an authentic feel and definitely lived up to my expectations. Staff seem lovely too and it’s so cool to be able to see the chefs working as they have an open kitchen. :)

Aka sushi is our go to sushi stop in Liverpool, we’ve been coming for years and it is always wonderful! Located on Bold Street (formerly Naked Noodle), it is central and surprisingly overlooked- considering the quality and price of the food it should definitely be busier! We normally opt for sushi, which is always fresh and delicious, and presented so beautifully, and the generous chicken katsu curry, but they have a variety of dishes and the Bento boxes are also brilliant. The virgin mohito is also absolutely amazing and thoroughly recommended. They do a brisk trade through Deliveroo too, which we loved before their radius dropped. Staff are friendly and the food is top notch. Wonderful all round. Try it!!
