Hands down the BEST sushi restaurant if not all of Hampton Roads but all of VA! We've dined all over the world, and we throughly enjoy the quality of ingredients, fish, and service. It's a small intimate restaurant run by a small staff, which are like family. The owner is the sushi chef, which to me is a good sign because you know his attention to detail with quality ingredients is going to be top notch. They make all their dishes in house including some amazing desserts. If sushi/sashimi aren't your preference, they have great beef, pork and chicken options too. Their pork belly ramen special is so good my daughter craves it. Most of the time when we dine in or order takeout we give them a budget for a sushi/sashimi platter with our likes and dislikes and they come up with an outstanding presentation. A home run every time! Support local small businesses, especially this one, it's a gem in downtown Suffolk and Hampton Roads area!

Did you ever live in or visit Japan? Do you like Sushi? Well come on down to Sushi Aka's they'll get ya right. They have "American" style and can go traditional depending on what you order. We had multiple delectables, including some delicious wagyu that was on special. Great for a date night, business meet-up, or for just a splurge. Arigato Gozaimasu!

The most authentic sushi and sashimi place I ever tasted here in Virginia! We were station in Japan for 3 years and I fall in love with their culture, place and food. We've been here 5 years now, so far this is the best place I found. This place is so amazing and so authentic sushi, specially the sashimi! AKA is local and own by the chief that work closely with the famous Japanese sushi chef from NYC! I don't know if you're that craze with sushi and sashimi to drive an hour away but it's all worth it! It's the closest one from authentic Japanese sushi and sashimi! From their salad, appetizer, main course, up to dessert (red bean cream brûlée) ! Even their alcohol is really good as well as the service! Highly recommended!

I read so many good reviews of Sushi Aka here in Yelp so we went for Valentine's day. We didn't know what to expect since we lived in Japan for 3 years but when our appetizer came out, it brought smile to our face. The seaweed salad tasted like the one we used to have in Japan. Their sashimi were all so fresh and tasty. The sushi rice on the sushi though was a little bit different. Nonetheless, we still enjoyed it. My little foodie enjoyed their calamari although it didn't taste fresh. The ambiance was romantic. We knew for sure that the restaurant put effort to make everyone feel the love on Valentine's. We will surely be coming back for more to try on the menu.

Ate here tonight and was very pleased! The food was excellent, service very good, and the restaurant very nice! My wife had the Caribbean roll (daily special) and I tried the salmon with risotto and asparagus. Both were very good. Give it a try if in the area!

Ate here last night for the first time, and I wasn't disappointed. The waitress brought over an amuse-bouche while we waited to place our order, and everything we tasted was fantastic. The tuna pizza is definitely an interesting spin on sushi, but was tasty. I got the tsunami roll, and it was delicious and fresh. The staff was attentive and friendly, definitely a small hidden gem in the downtown area of Suffolk.

What a hidden gem. Traveling for work and stumbled across this. Omg! This place is absolutely amazing. Beautiful flavor profiles. The sashimi with fresh grated wasabi was to die for. The owner and staff are super friendly. So much so I came twice in a row so I could try more menu items

I really enjoyed the food, the service was a bit slow and that was the only negative. The food was extremely fresh.

Second visit - I had the salmon teriyaki bowl again with the house salad. That salad dressing is divine! It's very light and the Nori elevates it. I also appreciate the array of lettuce. I'm a huge fan of darker greens in my salad, and this did isn't disappoint. Service was decent - it just took a minute to place our orders and get the rolls. But, it was lunch time so no biggie. I tried the rockfish roll. It was great! I'll be back!!

Excellent!!!!!EXCELLENT!!!!Excellent!!!!!My family and I had our first sushi experience and it was excellent!!!!I had Caribbean roll, it was ridiculously delicious!My sons had the Adam bomb roll, chicken teriyaki bowl with the dumpling soup, and the tuna roll; we left no crumbs!!! Everything was perfect!!!Then we had dessert...... the strawberry wonton will make you rethink every dessert you've ever had..... it's ridiculous....i am already planning on my next visit.But honestly everything was so great including the service.... The waiter patiently walked us through how and what to order.... The entire experience was great. I will definitely have to go back because there are no pictures, we demolished everything before we could take any.
