Wow!!!! Where do I begin? Everything in the bento box was delicious, from the miso soup to the sashimi. Best lunch special in town. And then the tempura cheese cake I wasn't ready. Will be back soon!!!! read more

This has turned into my go-to sushi spot, they have a beautiful backyard and excellent service. The sushi is very good and they are accommodating to any dietary restrictions. read more

Four small shrimp for $9.50 is outrageous. I could barely see the shrimp. The flavor of the sauce was like ketchup. I have ordered sushi and was generally satisfied with flavor and quality. Avoid the broiled shrimp. There are so many really good Japanese or fusion restaurants in the Williamsburg area --no reason to settle. read more

I am afraid this has gone down hill. My salmon/jalepano roll was inedible due to the salmon being of such poor quality it was all chewy and skin and fat inside my roll. Disgusting. The lunch special price went up too. It's now $11 for any 2 rolls, and $14 for three rolls (used to be $9 for 2 and & $11 for 3). The ginger tasted off too. Like it had come out of a stinky sock drawer. I've never tasted bad ginger before, and usually love that side to cleanse my palette. But this was not edible either. Ako I bid you goodbye. read more

Ako is one of my favorite places! The staff is incredible and very professional and the food is amazing. I strongly recommend this place for everyone! Easy 5 stars! read more

This sushi restaurant was delicious. I'm very picky with my sushi and I had a salmon don. The salmon was very fresh and tender. To top off an incredible meal I ordered the green tea matcha Tiramisu and it was incredible. I've never had anything like it. Not too sweet and very delicate. 5 stars all around. Highly recommend this place. read more

I loved the outdoor area with the wood tables. Very cute. The sushi was really good and felt and tasted fresh. We got a salmon don and felt like it had a fair amount of sashimi for the price. The rice was perfectly sticky too. It seemed like a reasonably priced place. I would go back. read more

We had an amazing time here! The service was lovely. I had a few questions about the menu and the man explained everything with pleasure. The food was great. Very fresh sushi, nice presentation and so tasty!! A real gem if you're looking for a good sushi which is affordable. Apart from that the location is lovely. We were sitting outside where they have nice tables in a romantic atmosphere with little lights and candles. Prices are totally fine for what you get! Great service - great food. All in all it was a perfect evening! read more

Great neighborhood spot - the food and staff is always the best. Order the Sapporo on draft and all the hand rolls

first time coming and I couldn't be disappointed! they gave us such a good amount for a reasonable price. coming from LA where fish is all around it's nice to know a spot in NY just as good! read more

The food here is not bad and is what is expected for an average Japanese restaurant, however I am only giving two stars because of the bad service. I went here with my boyfriend and a few family members on a Saturday night and waited almost an hour for our plates. It was as if they had forgotten about us. It was fairly busy but one would think that a sushi restaurant on prime Bedford avenue would know how to handle a busy night. They gave us dessert on the house but this didn't make up for the time wasted. read more

Very popular on a Saturday evening. Manager called back with availability very promptly as promised. Wait-staff are very attentive and service is great! read more

I love this place! Not only did the sushi taste bomb but the service was exceptional. They graciously moved our table when we asked without question and were always very attentive. Will always come back to this place. You will not be sorry! read more

Great sushi restaurant in Williamsburg! Reasonable prices and bangin music. Would definitely come back again. Great happy hour too

Excellent service and great food . Our server, Santi,was kind, professional, and hard working.

Mostly all a sushi restaurant needs from me to get at least 4 stars is phenomenal fish quality; Ako gets it mostly for that. I had a hot seabass kebab app, and then several pieces of a-la-carte sashimi (if you're curious, specifically hamachi, kampachi, o-toro, and ika). Everything was exactly as it should be. I'm a bit of a traditionalist, so the presentation was a bit... uh, not to my aesthetic? Also, oddly annoying, but apart from bottom-barrel house sake, they don't serve sake by the glass! Super disappointing, although granted -- a nitpick. The service would've been acceptable if the place was super busy (which, it wasn't), but the prices are definitely a draw, so if I have a sushi craving, I'll probably swing by again. Also, the back yard seems cute as hell with nice low-key romantic lighting; would love to go back again in warmer weather. read more

Ako Sushi hit the spot perfectly. After a long day in Brooklyn we were seated quickly and served right away. The food was impeccable and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to get sushi in Williamsburg! read more

SOLID sushi place in williamsburg...and extra points for having brown rice as an option. i order from ako at least once a week. the delivery is speedy and the food is fresh. my personal favorites are the vegetable gyoza, salmon/avo roll, rainbow roll & the chicken yakatori. read more

I will come back here just for the beyond exemplary avocado salad. $6 and it's basically a while avocado atop a healthy amount of greens. Best deal on the burg. Love the ambiance. Not too crazy, and chill, but warm and inviting. Sushi and miso black cod were excellent as well, but I'm still hung up on this avocado salad...worth the trip alone read more

Ako - THE BEST avocado salad in NYC. $6 and it's a proper salad with a massive amount of avocado. Yes, yes, YES!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Popped into Ako for some hot sake on a cold afternoon. They were welcoming and gracious, seating us at a table, despite the fact that we weren't eating. The ambience, service and sake were top-notch. Decided to order a green-tea tiramisu, which was home-made, amazingly beautiful and super delicious! The sushi passing by was creatively presented and looked enticing. We'll definitely come back for sushi soon! read more

Great sushi, free ice cream with check in. Top notch service, very fast food came. I would come again.

Cutest little sushi place in Brooklyn! My boyfriend and I came in on a rainy day and enjoyed their lunch specials and Japanese beer! Great service and amazing food :) read more

Do NOT eat here!!! I ate here on Sunday evening around 10pm. The kitchen closes at 11 so I didnt think I would watch the men that touch my raw fish scrubbing the floors and cleaning up as I was waiting for my order. I should have complained about it but I was hungry and honestly assumed they would do the right thing and either wear gloves and or wash their hands. I was with a friend who doesnt eat sushi so we were just chatting and while waiting for my small order. I first ordered the Miso soup which was the typical Miso soup nothing special.. Then I ordered the shrimp shumai and I could literally taste the dough as if it was raw so I only ate about 2 the rest I left on my plate. Then I ordered a special Golden Mango roll I believe that was the name of it, I honestly dont want to remember anything about this place after I caught FOOD POISONING!!! that same night around 1 am I could not sleep and began throwing up!!! My bones were aching I had a fever and I could not eat or drink ANYTHING for 2 days!!!! Im not sure what part of the meal gave me the virus but I do KNOW i will NEVER eat here again!! and I advise you my dear fellow yelpers not to eat here either!!! read more

This was my first time at this restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing. So tasty! We had dumplings and fried calamari. The sweet sauce that comes with the calamari is a MUST. The service was great! The waiters and waitresses checked up on us multiple times to ensure that we were enjoying our meal. I would 100000% recommend. Will definitely be back. Thank you so much, Ako Sushi! read more

I like the atmosphere here. My server was nice. Also, the food. It's one of my favorite places around Bedford av.

The sushi was very fresh and tasty. It was clear that the chefs used high quality fish. Ako has a great selection of sake as well. Overall wonderful experience. read more

i've been here on several occasions. i wouldn't say they have the best sushi in the world or in the area... but it's definitely the top 10 in Brooklyn for me. what i love about Ako is the service and cute touches they have with the specialty rolls! from flashing led lights to beautiful flower blossoms... it's so American of me to love all this stuff, but i don't care. =) patios becoming a big thing in Williamsburg lately. i love that they have one. even during the colder months in the fall/winter- they open it up whenever the weather is slightly warmer than usual. i've ordered every special roll they've offered. the biggest standouts are: Ako Wasabi (the tobiko is so yum) Tuna Salmon Twister Spicy Girl (they come with the LED lights!!!) 4 Seasons (all different types of tobiko~ love!!) overall presentation of sushi and cleanliness of all the food and prep- i like Ako a lot! =) read more

The back patio is the best thing about this place. Sushi is average at best. The avocado in my avocado tuna roll was rock hard...not ripe! How difficult is it to find a ripe avocado...or not be able to tell an avocado isn't ripe enough to eat/serve. The avocado issue aside...the sushi is fine but nothing special. Better options out there for sure. read more

my first time to this place backyard is cool but kind of alot of mosquito bites. The ikamaru is cook well with nice presentation. read more

Excellent Japanese restaurant in the heart of Williamsburg. Much more than, it offers a wide array of quality Japanese dishes, and just as good, drinks! I keep coming back here. Great vegetarian dishes, by the way. read more

I came in to eat alone and loved the ambiance! Also AMAZING happy hour deals. You can't find $7 wine anywhere and $5 gyoza. That's a GREAT after work dinner! Thanks Ako :) read more

Me and my friend ordered seafood udon, fried calamari and it was nice. Service was good as well.

Honestly the food isn't even great and things are way overpriced for what it is but I order from this place because it's close and it's easy via seamless. However today is the last time i order from this place. Mind you I already included tip when ordering and I gave him a fair amount given he only has to walk a couple blocks but the delivery guy has the nerve to snap at me for not tipping MORE than I did. Tip is usually meant as an EXTRA incentive for good service. One thing for sure is that I will never be ordering from this restaurant ever again. read more

To the owner, what are the details of how the fish is frozen? Who freezes the fish to kill the parasites? The market? Your staff said they don't freeze the fish they receive. I am looking for a new spot but until I know the specifics I have this as a 3 star to get your attention. Ill be happy to raise it when you tell me the details of where the fish comes from and if its frozen. If this fish is being served straight out of the ocean without being frozen thats not healthy at all. Huge risk if thats the case. read more

We came here with a party of 5. Service was excellent, food was great. The spider roll was delicious and the sake was on point. 10/10 would eat here again read more

Fast, friendly service. Good sushi. I had the marble trio roll which was good, a bit heavy on the rice. I also had the Saba sashimi which was fresh and delicately sliced. read more

Came here yesterday. Tuna Tataki was good. Recommend to order. Chef special sashimi was not fresh. Didn't finish them. Can get free ice cream if you check in there. But the server took my phone and checked that I think was weird. Not willing to come again. read more
