Aka Sushi Downtown

First place I ever had sushi when I first moved here to Corpus Christi. The vibe is amazing I actually ate here alone it was perfect ! It has a cozy vibe I've even taken orders to go since it so close to work. The service is good very nice owners. I would say when I went in a group it was a little different but I think it was because it was about ten of us and our orders got all mixed up. But other than that it was great the owner actually stopped by our table to make sure we were ok !

Oh my goodness! Words cannot express how much we enjoyed this place. The food was amazing, the staff is great and we appreciate that they're open lunch time on a Saturday. The restaurant is a stand alone with parking at the back. While you walk towards the front door, you cannot miss the beautiful and very detailed mural.Unfortunately, some items we ordered didn't make it to the camera roll for they were devoured right away. We had the cucumber salad, sunomono salad, garlic and spicy edamame, avocado bomb, shrimp fried rice, aburi salmon and the party boat. Everything was divine, chef's kiss! We enjoyed the avocado bomb experience and the crunchiness of it. But oh my, I cannot stress enough how good was the aburi salmon, they told us it needs to be eaten just as it is and right away. It was heaven in my mouth. Of course, we had to get their Party Boat, sashimi were cut in perfect thickness and the nigiri with the right amount of rice. Also, the shrimp fried rice was so tasty! They used the big shrimps which were cooked perfectly. I couldn't get enough of it. They also serve Orion which I had the pleasure of trying, the beer was so smooth and easy to drink. The owner, Wayne, was there walking around checking on customers and was very friendly. Will definitely come back to this restaurant even if it's a 3-hour drive!

Nice sushi bar with pleasant relaxed decor. Very fresh fish. Top notch sushi chefs. Relatively expensive, but worth every penny. Aka Sushi Downtown is our go to for the best sushi in town!

Well friendliest staff you could have at a sushi bar for sure!! Jay was amazing and explained so much, he just made everything so pleasant and truly cared about everything he was doing ! He was awesome!The waitresses also were so happy and friendly! On top of that, and on top of my rainbow roll was fresh wasabi, which was so good and yummy! Everything here was good :) I was much impressed!

Incredible sushi! The tropical breeze roll was amazingly tasty and the Hokkaido roll, which was suggested by the sweetest waitress was amazing too! Super friendly staff, excellent service and amazing food! We'll be back! Also, a really cool mural on the side of the building so check that out too. 5/5 stars easy

staff super friendly. came here for directions and then stayed for the food. because the staff is super nice. anyway. also cant beat $3 sapparo draft. will visit again. good ambience and trendy

I didn't get the full experience because we were only there for appetizers but I was underwhelmed. The calamari was tough and chewy and the dumplings weren't my favorite and were a bit soft. The inside was fine, it was pretty small but the staff was kind. There was no sort of wine list, but I enjoyed the saki we shared. I wasn't turned off, and am thinking they may have just had a bad night. We didn't try the sushi so I have no comment on that.

Aka Sushi Downtown was a great experience overall. All of the staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the offerings. Our party of 3 ordered tempura, a sashimi platter and ramen, all of which were delicious. The restaurant is nicely appointed and not too loud inside so it is ideal for enjoying the food with a nice conversation.It recently changed ownership and is BYOB which I love too!

This place is fantastic! Easily top 5 sushi places for me. Maybe top 3. They took a while getting the sushi out but that was fine as I was enjoying my Okinawa Old Fashioned. The old fashioned was great. I was there so long that I decided to try the sake too. I got the snow maiden sake and this is probably the first good sake I've ever had as I've historically gotten the house. On to the food; I got the Texas Thunder roll and a regular Ol' spicy tuna roll with extra spicy Mayo on the side. Phenomenal. When I first went to dig in I shot half of my chopstick across the room right as the manager (possibly owner) was walking up. She saw what happened and promptly got me another pair. I told her if no one had saw that I would've picked it up. She laughed and assured me she saw it. Long story short I can't wait to eat here again.

My fiancé and I drove 6 hours down from Denton to have a celebratory beach birthday weekend, and after a long day on the road Aka Sushi did not disappoint. The food was amazing, the portions were fair, and the sashimi was fresh, and the service was incredible. Every staff member we spoke with was friendly and treated us like we were special! Towards the end of our meal I mentioned we were traveling for my fiancé's birthday and they surprised us with a free cheesecake! (Which was SO GOOD) Overall a wonderful experience, 10/10 recommend and we will for sure be back whenever we make it down to the gulf again.
