    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!

    Came in with a hankering for a burger. Got the Fancy Pants and added bacon and a fried egg. Was delicious and killed the craving. I will say it was a bit pricey but was delicious nonetheless.
