I always come here for a date night with the wife and the service is amazing! The people that make the sushi are so friendly if you sit at the sushi bar and everybody that works, there are super friendly. I like this a lot better than Dokyo down the street. It can be a romantic date night if you want to be has the perfect atmosphere for it. read more

Service-5/5 Our waitress was great very personable and friendly! Only thing that it looked like it was only 2 waiters for the entire restaurant which kept them super busy. Food-5/5 every thing we ordered was super delicious. We got the bugogi skillet, teriyaki chicken, Aka bridge, beef ramen and chicken ramen. My husband preferred the beef ramen it was way better than the chicken. Ambiance-5/5 the decor and music was very pleasing. read more

Fantastic food, exceptional service. I'm sad to say it was our first experience, but definitely not our last. We stopped in on a Thursday evening and sat at the sushi bar. Our server, Stevie was awesome, super friendly, and helpful with recommendations. Alex made our delicious and beautiful sushi. Everything was fresh and tasty. We had the Spider roll, Bushido roll (yum, 5+ spicy), the Aka style sashimi, fusion salad, and Jalapeño popper. Everything was delicious, large rolls with lots of fresh fish. The owner came out, introduced himself and thanked us for coming in, which was so nice. We can't wait to visit again. read more

I'm so happy that we tried this place! It was some of the best sushi I've had in my LIFE. Biting into one of these rolls sent me to literal HEAVEN. The tuna was so bright and fresh. The service was kind and very quick. Our waiter was very accommodating as we were trying to get to a show at the American Bank Center during Art Walk. From the outside, you will see beautiful murals and another sushi restaurant. The food is a bit pricey but you can't expect good sushi to be cheap. Just awesome. read more

Cute small restaurant that was walkable from my hotel. As a vegetarian I got the fried tofu and a side of veggies. I was a little disappointed that the tofu was soggy. Even the piece sitting outside the sauce the crust was soggy. Overall, the service was friendly that atmosphere was nice. The spicy of edamame is very garlicky. read more

It was fine sushi from DoorDash. Salmon spicy roll and tuna spicy roll- good spice on them. Very fresh for door dash. Would order again.

The only thing good here is the sushi rolls. The bento boxes and salad is awful. Meat is chewy and salads are always not fresh. I will say they do have quick service and again, sushi rolls are good. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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 ! read more

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! read more

Every single time I've come here the food has been above and beyond what you could ever dream a sushi experience to be. Stevie is a very friendly and personable waiter that served us for my wonderful lady's special birthday dinner. We got to try the bluefin tuna that had just arrived...***** FIVE STAR FLAVOR! The Hokkaido Roll was recommended by Stevie. One of the best if not number one top sushi roll I've ever tasted. The scallops are actually imported from Japan! Thank you for making the evening special Acka sushi. I will be back over and over again. The extensive menu will require many visits because everything is obviously a must try. PS.... Thank you for the complementary fried cheesecake. Dessert as a birthday special.! The seating is extremely comfortable, a great music playlist and the lighting provides the perfect atmosphere. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Aka in June. We had a verity of specialty rolls, and every time we tried a new one we were more and more impressed. We've tried many different sushi places in different cities over the years and this one set itself apart with consistently unique, amazing rolls (and nigiri) as well as exceptional service. Highly recommend! read more

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! read more

I was able to enjoy this place with a group of girlfriends. Everything we ordered was delicious. We just could seem to get sake fast enough (probably an us problem more than the restaurant). The rolls were all great! Really enjoyed the yellowtail fish was so fresh. I would totally come back. read more

This place is 10/10. I ordered the James roll and the aka roll and both are so delicious and fresh. The owner made it a point to talk to everyone at the restaurant and treat you like family. The location is centrally located in downtown corpus and there is parking in the back. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. I went to water oyster across the street the day before and this place is soooooo much better. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Wow, I haven't reviewed a place in ages and I am coming out of my hibernation for Aka! My waitress was so attentive and responsive and the sushi chef had fantastic recommendations and hand delivered some items! The real star of the show was Joshua however, he was knowledgeable, personable, and made my dining experience one of a kind! The food was beautifully presented and to die for . The truffle toro is expensive but you definitely need to try it once in your life!! All in all come for the amazing food but come back for the wonderful staff!! A++ read more

Vita was our server. She was incredible! Around the board, everyone was incredibly nice. This sushi is the best we've had in Corpus. There was a freshness about this food that I haven't experienced in Corpus. The food came out quick. We ordered Spicy garlic edamame which was good. Miso soup on the house and it was good. Also, they gave us, "salmon biscuit" or something like that. It was great! It was on the house. As far as suishi, we ordered The volcano roll, dynamite roll, and the spicy crunch roll. Highly recommend all, especially thy dynamite roll. Definitely my favorite sushi in down. Honestly though, even if the sushi was mediocre I was still return because of how great the employees were. read more

I would prefer to give a 3.5, but I'm giving Aka Downtown the benefit of the doubt It's under new management as of recently we met the new owner he's very nice and I see his enthusiasm for revitalizing Aka a little bit The nigiri was super fresh I enjoyed it I liked the matcha choco flan though I do think the matcha flavor could be much stronger Our waitress was super busy she was not as accommodating as we would've preferred I expect things to pick up when they get their bar license! read more

I was excited to return here because it had been 8 years. I ordered the avocado roll and was extremely disappointed. First my roll arrived on the same plate as my friend's roll of raw fish. From now on, I'll have to say I'd like my food on a separate plate. The sushi itself was weak--the rice was wet, which was not tasty. Hopefully when I return in 8 years, it'll be better. read more

Walked in at 21:50. Tried to place a togo sushi order. No one would help me because the 5 waitresses and hostesses said they decided to close early. I asked if they close at 22:00 instead of 22:30 like their door said. They said no, but tonight (Saturday night) they decided to close early. There was another group of 6 guys wanting to eat here when I arrived who were equally confused at the random choice of closing on a Saturday night. read more

Had a conference to attend and decided to eat within walking distance of the hotel. In the mood for seafood or sushi, and found Aka Downtown. This place was amazing. Service was spot on and friendly.

This is a great little place to go if you're staying by the beach. It's in walking distance from several hotels. It was a Friday evening and there was no wait but the place was almost full. We ordered the vegetable tempura and it was absolutely delicious. Small ish portions but delish for sure! We both ordered the shrimp and crab sushi rolls. I thought it was pretty tasty but my husband didn't care for it at all. He said that it was very bland. I would've liked a little eel sauce or spicy mayo but our server hadn't come around and we were hungry. I loved that the rice was absolutely perfect and slightly warm. I would've liked to try a few more things but the hubby wasn't enjoying it, so we paid and left. The service is decent and the food comes out fast! read more

Excellent food and so fresh! I highly recommend to anyone who wants sushi. I can't wait to go back.

I don't live in Corpus Christi but travel there often to visit family. First time eating at Aka and it was an amazing experience. We sat at the bar where the sushi is prepared and asked for recommendations. Everything that was recommended and tried was fabulous! Highly recommend! read more
