"We are new to the area and were excited to find a new sushi place. INCREDIBLE food and experience. The presentation was beautiful. The atmosphere is beautiful. The service was fantastic and what we most noticed was how thick the fish slices were, they do not skimp on anything!!! Looking forward to visiting you all again, thanks!"

"Be aware!!!! First and last time….Ordered California roll, was told full of crab meat by waitress. If it was crab meat it had to artificial. Ordered pork dumpling soup. Did not taste like restaurant food, tasted like something at someone’s house, basic. Ordered glass of Riesling. This was the best thing on the menu, glass size pretty large. Biggest issue waitress by the name of Christine automatically kept my change. I did not give her permission to keep my change!!!"

"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!. Highly recommended!"

"Fantastic first visit celebrating a birthday. Will certainly be back again. Sushi AKA has your typical traditional sushi offerings but also has a huge selection of fusion style dishes. The quality of the fish and the rice was top notch. We had fantastic service even on a busy weekday night. I do wish they had traditional seating at a sushi bar counter but that area is more of a service / kitchen area for the restaurant. Very understandable with the size of the space. Also had some nice saki offerings I have not indulged in before and a solid price point. Cheers."

"HANDS DOWN BEST SUSHI WE HAVE EVER HAD!!! My daughter and I placed a to go order, usually we go to Iron Chef but the last few times the selection has been limited and the quality has been subpar. So we opted to try Sushi aka. We placed out order said it would be about 40 minutes, when we arrived it was ready. The staff was exceptional, called me by name during our brief interaction and on my way out. The atmosphere was intimate and beautiful. Now the sushi itself was phenomenal! We got a couple of rolls and a salad, but ingredients were super fresh and high quality, perfect rice very fresh, presentation for to go was impressive. Also the only time I got take and had enough ginger, Wasabi, and dressing for my order. The use of fresh ingredients made for the most delicious sushi. Sushi aka is our new spot, and we look forward to trying out other items on the menu."
