    Pretty tasty food. Ordered the katsu don and the lunch special rolls. The ambiance was nice as well.

    Reasonably priced sushi for good quality. I got a combo deal of salmon, tuna, California rolls and my friend got a hand roll and scallop roll and we both enjoyed. The appetizer was a highlight. There's a back patio space. Walked in on a Saturday evening with no wait!

    Uni sushi on the left, ikura sushi on the right
    Genna G.

    This place has always been solid, consistent and convenient (right off the L). And after many many years, that's never changes. Something I love is that they do the specifics well. So the ikura and uni are fantastic without overcharging. The staff is attentive, and the vibe of the place is casual, welcoming, perfect for a solo meal, friend meetup, or date night. With Lu. J I get the pot of green tea. With dinner- the hot sake. It's not high end but it certainly scratches that sushi itch!

    The restaurant is really cute! We came around 6:30pm on a weekday and were seated instantly. There is lots of indoor seating and patio seating (with a ceiling) and the ambiance is great! The bathroom is also clean. The sushi came out pretty quickly and tasted delicious! Prices are fairly reasonable.

    Sat in their outdoor area this time here. So beautiful and peaceful. Food was delicious and my drinks were on point. Service was great! Water never empty and glass always full. Happy to have been able to come back

    Toro Dynasty Roll: $20; $21.78 with tax

    We stopped by Ako for a quick lunch and had: - Sushi Lunch: $16; $17.42 with tax - Toro Dynasty Roll: $20; $21.78 with tax Both dishes were underwhelming. The Toro Dynasty Roll only had sriracha mayo to add a dimension of flavor. Suggested tips are based on pre-tax subtotals and start at 20%, which is a bit high since there wasn't complementary tea. Overall, it feels like better options are available elsewhere.

    What great service that they have here. Every time our water was low, it was filled to the top. Pretty good. The waiters came by frequently to attend to whatever it might be. However, I doubt that you need to make reservations as there's plenty of seating in the back space or in the main dining area. Food wise, I ordered the spicy seafood soup, which was alright. It's only for one person, as it's not a huge serving.the Golden Dragon roll was pretty good as the mango taste stood out. The classic roll combo was all of the items that sushi places all have. The matcha tiramisu tasted great as it's a combination of both desserts that I enjoy.

    Very nice Japanese restaurant. We had bento boxes for lunch , everything was fresh and tasty. Fair price , would return.

    No frills, but solid sushi spot. Service was quick and friendly, and they never miss out on the details. Had some sushi pieces a la carte as well as some rolls. Also tried an order of the rock shrimp appetizer which came with a creamy spicy mayo sauce. Only thing is their outdoor seating smelled a bit funky.. granted we are outdoors but maybe it should be a little bit more well kept?

    Chirashi. Good select of fish, pickles etc that varies with the season.

    Ako is a great spot for inexpensive sushi and lunch sets slap bang in the middle of Bedford Avenue not far from the subway. I first came here by default when the restaurant I was planning on going to was closed and I've now been back many times. The room is pleasant with well spaced tables and there's a great seating area out back in the garden. The servers are friendly. The lunch sets are great value, they have a few types to choose from, not just the standard bentos and the portions are generous. There's a good variety of fish available and it's well prepared, rice is good too. Love it for a quick lunch!

    Matcha Tiramisu

    cute place with good sushi and very friendly servers!! really enjoyed my dessert!! the bathroom had paper towels too which i liked :)

    Vegetables salad with Ginger Dressing
    Reggie M.

    We came here one rainy Sunday afternoon, thankfully their backyard area is covered with a transparent roof and we were able to hear and see the raindrops, we found it whimsical! Since I have not had a bento box in months, I ordered it to see what is their take on it. I selected salmon teriyaki bento. They first served a veggie salad with ginger dressing followed by miso soup. The bento box came with 4 pieces of California roll, 2 pieces of fried siomai, white rice, and salmon teriyaki on a bed of mixed greens. I thought the serving was generous for $13, and it didn't compromise the quality nor the taste. On our way out, I told our server that we will come back next weekend. With great customer service and price points, who wouldn't?!

    Spicy Roll Combo
    Maggie T.

    I've only ordered delivery from Ako so I can't speak to their dine-in experience, but the sushi here is really solid and not too expensive. I've gotten the spicy roll combo a couple times now and it's a great variety at a good value, as you get 6 pieces of spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail, crunchy spicy salmon all in one. The crunchy spicy salmon is by far the best one in the combo though!!

Ambiance was very romantic, modern and airy. One of the few tapas places in NYC that remind me of the delicious dishes I had experienced in Barcelona so was happy to be bringing my boys here to experience it. We ordered a bit of everything from the entire menu and really enjoyed them all but highlights for us were the creamy dreamy beef tartare, the slightly briney white anchovies, frizzled artichoke hearts, and tempura cod w/ a sun choke puree. Of course the Iberico ham was also steller. Great place for an intimate date night or for a group too. We will definitely be back.

While the chef selects which tapas come out, they were able to accommodate our request for two specific tapas which was nice. The paella was a generous portion for two. We loved the octopus and iberico, but honestly, all the tapas were delicious! The only downside during our stay is we had a reservation but we came right after the World Cup game had ended. So there was only one available table for us which was crammed in a corner. It was also very busy, so service was a bit slow that day.
