Aki Nom Nom Sushi & Ramen

Stopped here on a Friday night while working in the area. With things closing relatively early, it is somewhat hard to find a place to eat after getting off at 9/9:15. I made a reservation and he headed there. Anyway - situated in the city, we ventured in and found parking at an adjacent garage. Things got off to a rough start when, being there at 10pm with a closing at 11, they told us the AYCE option on the menu wouldn't be possible. Now, granted we weren't going to order that, but it was a polite way of steering us away from it. Waiter was nice and attentive - Asian gent that worked Friday night. We ordered some apps: buns, gyoza, takioki, as well as sushi. For the entree I went with the shoyu tonkotsu ramen with pork chashu and a volcano roll. The buns were very good - a nice portion of protein and sauce. Gyoza was standard and very solid. Takioyaki was also standard as well and on-par with what we have ordered before. The sushi was very good - and in terms of the size of the roll was very impressive. The ramen aesthetically didn't look great - but the flavor was there. Very good. I didn't get an egg and mentioned that to my buds and the waiter asked if I wanted one and brought me one back. Pretty cool and again showing his attentiveness. Overall - this was really good. Only downfall is for 1hr 1min parking it was $27. That's robbery.

service was quick and friendly, and the inside was fairly clean and put together.we got the ayce sushi. everything was okay at best. rice was mushy, and many of the rolls were stuffed with tempura flakes, leaving not much room for actual fish. [6/10]

Lunchtime Bento box special with teriyaki chicken, California rolls, shui mai, salad, rice. I asked for double salad instead of rice. It ends up being a lot of food for lunch and I ended up with leftovers for the afternoon.Lunch special is a few dollars cheaper than dinner prices. Chicken was pretty plain and pale looking. Could use more time on the grill at higher heat to caramelize the outside. I found myself saving the california rolls as my favorite part of the meal, which is underwhelming!

First restaurant after landing in Philly. I was starving, placed a huge order after a few of my coworkers joined me. The waitstaff and Servers were very accommodating, we had no reservations and a large group of 10. We were seated in the center of the restaurant. There was lots of food, family style. I can't remember all the items but the standouts were the chicken gyoza and shrimp shumai for appetizers, those were delicious. For entrees some of my favorites were the bento box with teriyaki salmon and fried chicken, so good. We also ordered a few rolls that were tasty, it was an all you can eat sushi menu. I passed on the sweets but I enjoyed a glass of Toki Santury Japanese whiskey. Excellent finish for a great night with friends, food and fun.

While in Philadelphia, this is a must restaurant for sushi. The all you can eat menu is extensive. Every item from the spring roll to seaweed salad to the sashimi was fresh, delicious, and plentiful. The staff here is absolutely friendly and attentive. There is no rush at all. We never felt pushed to finish or order too quickly. The price for being in the city was quite reasonable. Parking is difficult but the restaurant has many, many tables. There really is not one thing I could say that needs improvement here.

Visited this restaurant with my family members. Service was great! Waiters were friendly, helpful, patient, and attentive. Ambiance was fine, no complaints. I ordered the shrimp tempura ramen because I wanted a spicy option that also had an egg in it (without paying extra to add an egg). Would definitely go for pork or something next time- the tempura breading gets soggy and flavor just isn't doing much. Ramen was good but not to die for. We also tried the pork buns appetizer and enjoyed that!

Reservation for group for AYCE sushi.They put all the sushi together in a large serving as shown. Much more artistic, but the service is slow (water, sushi, more orders, etc). Typically when you AYCE you want to bang out items back to back but definitely need to order in large batches here.Their AYCE appetizers are great. Service was also v friendly and reservation was completely smooth and amazing! Several of our group didn't want to AYCE and they still allowed them to sit with us together and they ordered their own food. This led to a mixup with the bill amount but we brought attention to it and it was fixed.

Came for all you can eat sushi with my friends. Honestly, I'm not sure we were able to eat enough for the money to be worth it. A lot of the rolls were pretty bland and/or heavy on the rice. The service was weird in that our server never cleared our empty plates; just waited for us to push them aside before putting down more food. I'm always a fan of AYCE sushi, but I'm not sure I'd come back.

The staff were friendly and the food was good. I liked the space and ambience, even though I was there late evening and I was the only customer there.

Ali is good but not spectacular. It appeased the sushi and ramen craving for my friends but I have had better. Service and ambiance was good.
