The sushi here is always so fresh and well made, each time has been an enjoyable dining experience. Lots of variety including vegetarian/vegan options. The place is very clean and the staff is attentive. Good lunch specials (variety of bento box options), come thru next time you're in Williamsburg. read more

This is my fav place in Williamsburg. Super good and fresh. Staff always lovely. Unit is off the hook.

Perfectly serviceable sushi joint, located conveniently on Bedford Ave. We found it almost empty on a Saturday afternoon- I guess hipsters prefer overpriced eggs to sushi during brunch hours. Prices are really reasonable for the location, and there's a cute patio in the back, perfect for enjoying the nice weather. Get one of the lunch specials if you can- we had a 3 rolls and miso soup/salad combo for $11. The salmon and mango roll was basic but really refreshing. read more

BYOB. That is the first thing you need to know about this sushi venue. Ako is right in the heart of hipster-ville on Bedford in Williamsburg. I shared a kani salad and three rolls and everything was so fresh. Service? I did not wait to be seated on a Saturday night during primetime. I think my food was ready within 10-15 minutes, and the server came by a few times to ask if we needed anything. Best yet? It is BYOB - so come with your own beer or wine and your experience will be even better. read more

This place has really redeemed itself with me! I have gone into the restaurant a few times and had mix ups in my order or things missing! Recently I have been ordering a few times a weeks through Seamless. The delivery is extremely fast and the food is delicious! I love the spicy tuna & philly rolls with brown rice! Its great quality for a low price! Try the seaweed salad! read more

Great sushi! We started with gyzo dumplings for appetizers I got the cali roll, sweet potato roll, and spicy crunchy salmon! We finished with green tea ice cream and everything was delish! The back yard is superrr cute! read more

Stumbled upon this place while in the area and craving sushi with my friend. Sat right near the street and had one of there dinner sushi plates for 1. Totally delicious and worth the cost! You get a good amount of food for about 20 bucks (which includes soup/salad for only a buck more). If in the area, i suggest stopping by. You won't be disappointed. It's not the best sushi in the world, but it isn't the worst and if you're not a sushi enthusiast, you'll enjoy it just the same. read more

quick lunch pick up spot ! Location is good, and sushi is average. they have garden open in the back which is always a plus. read more

Ako is not your typical shitty Japanese food place. The lunch prices are super cheap and you get a lot of good quality food for $11. They have a sweet backyard so it's really nice in the Spring/Summer. I usually get the beef teriyaki bento box. So good. They give you a lot and cook the beef medium to well done. You can also replace the california roll with another roll for 2 extra dollars. Miso soup compliments the bento very nicely. Their service in the restaurant is slow, but in general, their customer service is amazing! I recently just ordered takeout and got an allergic reaction to something in the food (I've gotten the same meal before) so I gave them a call. They sorted it out very nicely and even came to my front door for a reimbursement! read more

Love this place, they have some of the best and delicious hot and sour soup! The food delivers really fast too!

I am shocked everytime I place an order to pickup. They literally have all my food ready under 10 minutes! I honestly dont know how they do it. The sushi is fresh, and good for the price. Its a great place for a quick meal. I will continue ordering from here. The volcano roll is awesome, however if you like shrimp tempura rolls, don't get them from here. I know you are wondering how they can mess that roll up, but they only put the shrimp in the roll (nothing else). read more

AKO is pretty convenient. I'm in the neighborhood and go there often when I'm craving sushi. The atmosphere and service is always good. They used to be BYOB, but now have an alcohol menu. The food is okay, and it's always okay...at least its consistent. I've never had anything that was terrible, but I've never had an omg-my-mind-is-blown there either. If you're craving decent sushi, and you are close by...go for it. But I'd say don't go out of your way. read more

Williamsburg does have a great variety of food options but great sushi is not one of them. There are a lot of average sushi places but no where really to splurge on fantastic fish (yes there is 1 or 8 which is overpriced) But amongst the average sushi places (samurai, miyako, fushimi, wasabi, bozu, mizu) Ako definitely has the best and freshest fish. They don't pile on the sushi like other places and they definitely are a tas more pricey , but it's worth it. I pretty much only order from ako if I'm in the mood for local sushi. They also do seamless.com which is convenient. read more

The sushi quality was sub-par. Went for lunch on a Monday for some sashimi, assuming that they would've gotten a "fresh" delivery of fish in earlier that day. The sashimi tasted extra fishy, which normally means that it's old. Good selection of inventive maki rolls + cooked food. read more

Nice out side seating. Went with the hubby looking for something light but good. They did not disappoint. Food was great. Had the best Pink Sake ever. Sparkling and sweet. read more

Avoid. They have great lunch deals, unfortunately my lunch deal included a fruitfly that flew out from between the layered pieces of aged-looking ginger. Then I bit into a piece of salmon avocado that tasted moldy, and I had to spit it out. At that point, I threw out half of my $13.00 lunch, and I'm now hoping I don't come down with food poisoning. read more

Very friendly staff, menu looks amazing! What I really like is their sushi entree menu, for sushi lovers like me it give you a wide variety of different sushi combinations to try out which I really like! Their happy hour is also pretty decent, my girlfriend and I got some sake and beer, for food we got the gyoza! The gyoza was super good, and for only 5$!! read more

Their sushi is amazing!!! We were in the neighborhood today and decided to go to this place. They have a very cute garden, service that is really nice and awesome sushi!! I loved it! We ordered spicy girl and The salmon twist, which is the best! I will definitely go back to this place when I'm in Williamsburg again! The waitress was super nice! read more

Ako - Salmon twist!!!! Philadelphia roll-- not needed if you get three signature rolls. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Good food and tasty meals. Ordered the bento box lunch special for $11. Salmon was well prepared but the pork katsu was a bit dry. The bento box tray should be changed as it was all scratched up from years of use. read more

Reliable delivery sushi. Always fresh and unique house special rolls. Delivery arrives still fresh and promptly. Service in the restaurant is just ok. They're nice enough but it actually seems like they're quicker if you order delivery than if you go in and get takeout. It's fine to sit in but there are def nicer sushi spots in the burg if you're looking for a nice night out. The food itself-all of their standard rolls are above average. The ako wasabi special roll is yummy, perfect blend of fish, veggies, and caviar on the outside. If you want to go fancy try the tuna love, encore tuna, spicy girl, or four season. read more

Great scallop fried rice. BYOB! Walking distance to the L train . close to a lot of cute little bars on Bedford avenue, great service and byo with a small corking fee. Great place for weekends. Not too crowded and no way on a Saturday night read more

Mediocre from start to finish. If you enjoy the fish/sushi/rolls here you definitely need to try other places.

Came here just for a snack. Ordered the Beef Negimaki and was extremely disappointed!! It was not at all what I expected having had this once somewhere else where it was a total win. Here the meat was very overcooked and the tops of the scallions were burned more than I would have liked. The ginger teriyaki sauce was okay, but was not able to fix the overcooked meat and burned scallion. I ate two of them and asked for the check. I was gonna get sushi, but did not try the sushi because of the appearance. Looking at the fish behind the glass it did not look extremely appetizing/fresh. It was all pre cut fish and the tuna and salmon in particular looked a little dry around the edges. In my experience the precut fish tends to not be as favorable and fresh tasting as when the cut the fish as you order it. Call me a yuppie, but when you have had good quality you can easily pick out the poor quality spots like this. read more

This place is amazing food is fresh and fast. My wife loves it. The wait staff is attentive and very nice. Definitely will visit very often.

I had unagi don and some rolls. The rolls were alright, tasty. The unagi don was A-MA-ZINGGG!!!! It was fresh, the eel pieces were thick and fatty. Probably the best unagi don I've ever had. I'd recommend this place for unagi don! read more

I've been here twice, for a lunch and dinner. It's very decent sushi, at a really affordable price for the neighborhood. Had a lunch special with salad, miso soup and three rolls for $12. Dinner for two, with sake, was very affordable too. The cooked food was fresh and tasty - squid appetizer was tender and delicious. The only weird thing was when a server gave us the wrong dish, came back after a full 2-3 minutes that it had been sitting on our table and then took it to a different table! Even so I'd still go back. Check in on Yelp for a free green tea ice cream. read more

So original and yummy We came and the place was empty so I wasn't sure if I want to eat in an empty restaurant ( always a bad sign). I was so wrong!!! The sushi was AMAZING so good we couldn't stop talking about it and our plates looked like an art piece - the presentation is very original and the food is just delicious I recommend it to everyone Enjoy !!!! read more

Came here for some dinner although I think in the future this will be my takeout sushi spot. Came in with a friend, ordered several rolls including basics like spicy tuna and yellowtail scallion. The restaurant feels like a standard NYC sushi joint, but it does have a nice outside seating area in the back ( so make sure to ask otherwise they will seat you inside). Food was pretty solid, not as good as my favorite sushi spot in the East Village but for casual sushi in Williamsburg and future takeout orders it's perfect. One star off for a strange smell the restaurant had (wasn't strong enough to deter us though) read more
