Sushi, bento boxes, Japanese entrees & Thai favorites served in a relaxed, intimate atmosphere.
Stopped in here after attending Isshocon down the road. We had a fantastic time. Despite being run ragged by con attendees the entire day and not appearing to be entirely prepared for such a surge in customers, the service was great and the food was as well. Glad we stopped in.
First time in but my sister orders take out a lot and loves it too. I'm usually skeptical of places that do a little bit of everything however the food was great. The Atomic Bomb roll was really good, not particularly spicy, for me at least. The Pad Thai, while not the best I've had was very good. Huge portion and I ordered it #7 spicy. Just right. The Curry Ton Catsu was good, we ordered the curry/gravy on the side and should have left it on. Friendly atmosphere. Overall a place I'll definitely return to.
Such good Sushi Rolls! Many varieties to choose from, we had the Michigan roll and I tried the shrimp pad Thai - omg great choices they were! In the past we’ve really liked the Ypsilanti roll and a few others - lots of choices on the menu. They do a great amount of take out business and I can see why. Restaurant is pretty basic if you eat in but the entire staff is efficient and get you taken care of, Sapporo was cold and there are several Saki and wine choices. Yum if you like sushi - stop on in!
We were in the area and quickly Googled nearby sushi places for a quick bite before heading home. Our expectations were fairly low since we hadn't been there before and our research was limited to what was nearby. We all ordered Bento Boxes, and were very pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity of food. If we were in the area again, we'd definitely stop in.
Amazing food, impeccable service, comforting atmosphere! I absolutely love to eat here and cannot recommend them enough to everyone I meet.

The miso soup was mouthwatering🤤
Amazing food, impeccable service, comforting atmosphere! I absolutely love to eat here and cannot recommend them enough to everyone I meet.
The Michigan Roll gave me food poisoning.
We sat around up front for 20 minutes without anyone saying anything to us, and they were busy so I understand that. But then a few customers came in behind us and asked "can we sit anywhere?" and the attendants let them cut in front of us. Not impressed
Dining with a toddler is rough sometimes, David was our waiter and he was really great
Ordered nine rolls on door dash, got three pieces each of the two most expensive ones. Won't be reordering
This hidden gem was simply amazing. I stopped in for lunch and was taking aback!!! The pride is shown through the presentation of the food. Wait staff was super attentive and respectful. I can't wait to go back!!
Always friendly and great food! I've never had a bad meal
My son likes always a chicken katsu.
Amazing food by chefs and owners who care. Their sushi is always fresh, I love their curries, curry pad Thai and coconut rice noodles are also fabulous!
Some of the best sushi I've ever eaten and the waiter is top notch.
Enjoyed a wonderful taste dinner. Service was very good. Thank you⚘️
Excellent sushi.
Delicious sushi and great service!
First time trying this place. The food was ok but the service was absolutely abysmal. We sat down, were provided menus, and were immediately asked what we wanted to drink when we hadn’t even opened them. Once decided, we ordered two drinks and only received one and had to ask again for the second, which I’m pretty sure he never took down in the first place. No water was provided until I asked and we only received one. Not a great start… but it got worse. After we placed our order, we waited FORTY FIVE minutes to receive it even though it wasn’t particularly busy when we arrived. We ordered an appetizer that never came and when I asked our server where it was they said it was still being cooked, which was a lie since only then did they put in the order and we waited until we were almost finished with our sushi to receive it and the batter was overcooked. Then the bill, which was for some unknown reason handled by a different server who proceeded to charge my card for a more expensive order that wasn’t ours! I mean seriously… so even though they voided it and recharged my card the correct amount I will have to monitor my account to check that it comes off. I would not recommend this place at all. The sushi is mediocre, the staff weren’t very friendly, and our server in particular was completely incompetent. Go down the road to Yotsuba, which is way better in all departments.
Really amazing Bento Boxes, Tempura, and Sushi! David was our server and he was great!
Really delicious sushi, attentive staff, and great prices!
Really delicious gluten free curry pad Thai!! Excellent coconut chicken fried rice. Friendly staff.
Visiting from out of state for a bowling tournament, and went to this place for the reviews understanding what it would cost as it was dinner time. We walk in and it wasnt very busy things were going fine and got the menu. Ordered teriyaki salmon and my dad order the teriyaki shrimp and got an appetizer of shrimp tempura. Both meals supposed to come with rice, vegetables, soup and salad for 18.99. The appetizer was good have no complaints of that, probably the best thing out of everything. The soup was miso and to be honest did not have good flavor depends on taste. The shrimp that was ordered were overcooked causing it to be tough and VERY few vegetables. On my plate there were 3 pieces of broccoli and then 3 pieces of carrots and the rest of the plate being onions. I dont expect a bunch of everything but more than 3 pieces and definitely not the whole plate being onions as a layer. The environment of the place I enjoyed and as mentioned the food was not that good. The worst part of all was the service. Our waiter did the bare minimum barely. He took our drink orders, and our food answered the questions we had with "uhh yea.." dropped off the food and he wouldn't take the time of day to ask us how things were, if we needed anything, nothing. This other gentleman who was not our waiter was the one to speak to us and asked us if we needing anything and if everything was ok which was nice to be checked on. Just once or twice to be asked and thats it. The place was not that busy maybe 4 or less other tables full and our waiter was walking fast as if he did not want to speak to us. Not sure what the case was but it was bad service. Overall I have never complained in a restaurant and I think this is my first time leaving an online review and definitely not impressed for the reviews.
Love dining here, my family and I have tried different dishes and the food never disappoints.
Yum, really good sushi and kind employees.
Great place to get fresh sushi and other Japanese style food.
Best sushi in the area
Excellent vegan spring rolls and vegan curry entrées. Service was quick and professional.
Sushi is fire .... A hidden gem
Really great sushi actually, this area lacks good sushi places surprisingly so this is nice. Really casual sit down area great for lunch.
In the area for a work conference. The food was delicious. Lots of sushi and other options. Services was exceptional and the staff we polite. Definitely would go back
Best sushi ypsilanti. Best sushi washtenaw county.
I've been eating here for several years. Their sushi is always fresh and delicious house. The salmon sashimi is some of the best I've ever had. Friendly staff and clean tables.
I found this place out from a friend and it's my only spot I grab from. Every place I've tried after, I always find myself coming back here and loving it so much more. Truly. It's so fresh and the options are amazing. And you have to try the sake drinks. It accompanies the sushi amazingly.
Still the best sushi joint in the area. Had the noodles as a change of pace and they were also superb. Storefront atmosphere makes this feel like a real foodie place. Oh... and the Japanese beers are all there too. Try Asahi super dry.
They have also added Thai dishes... try their curry pad thai
My favorite sushi restaurant! I always try to stop by here whenever I’m in town. Prices are very reasonable, and if you order enough sushi, they put it on a wooden boat thing when they bring it out to you! I’m vegetarian when it comes to sushi and there’s a variety of vegetarian options.
Excellent neighborhood sushi joint, always fresh and delicious.
The best hamachi kama
$20-30 per person
Excellent food, order anything on the menu and you'll be happy. Great service whether you dine in or carry out.
Great little sushi places for the area. They have plenty of different options for dietary restrictions (I.e. vegan, vegetarian, allergies, etc.). The food is pretty good, the restaurant is fairly clean, and the staff is always checking on you. Great place for a quick lunch or dinner. Highly recommend for this area.
My favorite sushi spot!!!
Good is great- you just have to get through the not so great service to get the food.
Always the best, freshest sushi in the area! No where else compares, honestly.
I went here with my brother-in-law and wife last night, and watched them take food out to a gentleman, and then 30 minutes later they brought the lady that was with him her food, however, she told them she did not want it because they were actually getting ready to leave. They left the food sitting there for about five minutes, they came back, took the food and the receipt and walked back into the kitchen, a few minutes later, the waiter come out with My brother-in-law‘s order, which was the same order as the lady had ordered. It was chicken and rice,, But normally it sizzles, and his was not sizzling, and the gentleman did not have a mitt on while, carrying the hot plate, my brother-in-law refused the food, and said I know that that food was just sitting over there on their table, and the waiter agreed, and said he understood, and he took the food and walked back into the kitchen. My question is, what would the health department have to say about this establishment serving food off of someone else’s table, and allowing rice to sit at room temperature before serving? I guess this is a eat at your own risk establishment.
Great rolls and now thai food too! I come here when I’m in Ypsilanti
Please don't sleep on Aki; they have fantastic food done with consistency and quick service
Aki Sushi is our go to sushi place! Great food, staff, and atmosphere. They even ordered Uni for my partner at one point and called to let him know they had it in stock when it was ready. We just ordered for the millionth time today and tried some new items and I had to leave a review because it was so good. The Sexy Salmon appetizer was so delicious. Phenomenal flavor. You can't go wrong with Aki Sushi!
Aki has been a staple of our sushi experience for almost a decade. I can honestly say it's the best sushi we've had anywhere in Michigan. The food is phenomenal, the service is phenomenal, the experience is PHENOMENAL. Go here. Order a lot of food. Stuff yourself will and enjoy. You will not be disappointed!
This place has good food but bad service. Anytime you get sushi, it’s expected to get soy sauce as well. This place apparently doesn’t believe in that.
Apparently it’s faster to dine in compared to picking up.
Love ordering lunch from here Bento Box!<3
Friendly, helpful staff. Great food.
I was disappointed with the food. Not only it didn't have flavor but it had some strange taste to it. I will never go to this place again.
This is our favorite sushi place in a 50 mile radius!
Aki has been my go to for sushi for 6 years. They always deliver, and the food is consistently delicious!
Such good Sushi Rolls! Many varieties to choose from, we had the Michigan roll and I tried the shrimp pad Thai - omg great choices they were! In the past we’ve really liked the Ypsilanti roll and a few others - lots of choices on the menu. They do a great amount of take out business and I can see why.

My impression of sushi restaurants in the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area (I lived in AA for 4 years) is pretty bad. As a Korean, I guess my standards of Japanese food is quite different than this part of the world. Despite all this, I can confirm that this is by far the best Sushi restaurant the area has to offer. I'd give it 6 stars if I could.
Easily my favorite local spot to get Japanese, I am now a regular, so much so they basically already know what I want to order, since I usually get the same thing, the second I walk in, they know what I'm there for. Service is amazing, hosts are very friendly, food is always amazing, fresh, very good quantity and quality, Japanese entrees are amazing, the Thai is amazing, and the sushi is as well, very delicious food!
They're always so friendly and will fix any problems you do come across, and if you have allergies they take that into account too, just make sure to speak up and let them no.
I recommend the Sushi of course, Chicken Curry Katsu, and the Pad Thai is always amazing, my favorite is the beef Pad Thai. (They'll make it without peanuts if you ask)
Come here often. All the specialty rolls are amazing. Very quick and friendly service.
The food was good. The service was alright.
Alaska roll... OMG!!!
First time in but my sister orders take out a lot and loves it too. I'm usually skeptical of places that do a little bit of everything however the food was great. The Atomic Bomb roll was really good, not particularly spicy, for me at least. The Pad Thai, while not the best I've had was very good. Huge portion and I ordered it #7 spicy. Just right. The Curry Ton Catsu was good, we ordered the curry/gravy on the side and should have left it on. Friendly atmosphere. Overall a place I'll definitely return to.
We would dine here every day if we could afford to. Our monthly visits keep Aki special.
Yummy
I ordered the volcano roll and the sweet potato roll, both of which were excellent. I also tried the vegetable tempura. The tempura coating was a little too heavy and thick for my taste, but overall was still ok. Will definitely try this place again.
SO GOOD!
Best sushi in the world. The atmosphere is very special.
Food is fresh and served in a timely manner. They're a bit stingy with the ginger and Wasabi portions. Staff is kind and friendly.
I visited this place with my niece. When we arrived we were the only customers there after sitting for about 10 minutes we received water. An all white table came 5 minutes later and admittedly received waters and lemon. After another 5-7 minutes with by the waitress took their order. Me and my niece sat for about 20 minutes and we’re ignoring. We got up and left. Will not waste my money where I am not welcomed. If you are BLACK save your money and DO NOT visit this place. Just make the drive to Yotsuba.
We were in the area and quickly Googled nearby sushi places for a quick bite before heading home. Our expectations were fairly low since we hadn't been there before and our research was limited to what was nearby. We all ordered Bento Boxes, and were very pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity of food. If we were in the area again, we'd definitely stop in.
Love their lunch specials! This has become one of my favorite spots. Their rolls are delicious, fresh made and reasonably priced. Highly recommend Aki!
A very nice quiet little place. Great food. The staff is very nice. A+ you have to try it.
The food here is average-ish, if bland, for its price point, but avoid their shrimp dishes. They do not devein their shrimp. That dark line you see along a shrimp's back is its digestive tract. That means when you see that 'vein' still intact or spilling open into your food, that is shrimp excrement all over your plate. I got the shrimp fried rice and not a single one was deveined and most of their digestive tracts were very, very full. Their other food alright, but take a hard pass on the shrimp.
Hubby and I come here at least once a month. It’s our go to sushi spot. And we’re very picky about out sushi. Eastern roll, TNT roll, and their chicken fried rice are just some of our favorites.
The sushi is really good and fresh!
Aki is always a great decision. The food is always fresh and delicious and the restaurant is kept very clean. Service can be a little slow, but the food makes up for it.
The best salmon sashimi I've found in the ann arbor area.
First time eating sushi it was very good.
Recently, I visited this restaurant to celebrate a pair of friends' birthdays. The staff were very friendly people and the service was great. The restaurant wasn't busy; a few patrons filled a couple of booths, so this did not impact our wait time at all. We were seated quickly, and the server was very attentive, bringing our food out in a timely manner, refilling drinks, and making sure we had what we needed. Our table of four ordered a variety of appetizers and dishes, including pan-fried gyoza, fried squid rings, and a large assortment of sushi. Each roll was delicious, having a unique flavor of its own. I ordered two different rolls and miso soup, yet the shining star out of the trio was the Atomic Bomb. Spicy but not overpowering, it was full of flavor and very filling. My sister ordered the Blueberry Saki, and after having a sip, I will be ordering a glass of my own next time. The atmosphere was cozy, quiet, and convivial. We dined in the daylight, but the lighting appeared dimmed, so I imagine that if it were nighttime, the restaurant would appear a little more moody for a more romantic setting.
I am not usually in the Ypsilanti area, but if I am again, I would certainly make a stop here. I highly recommend Aki Sushi!
Everything about this resturant was good we ordered alot of food it was not expensive and very tasty
This place is amazing and the food is absolutely delicious. The presentation of the food is immaculate and impressive. The customer service is outstanding and they are always so polite and patient. My favorite is the golden mango shrimp roll. It's a delicious twist on sushi that I have never seen before. (I love sushi).
Great food
Fantastic service and wonderful food. I've probably eaten through at least 1/3 of their menu at this point and almost everything has been exactly what I wanted! I would say their standout dishes would be the Tuna Takaki if you're looking for something lighter and full of flavor and then their deep fried rolls if you want something a bit heavier. Make sure to get one of their lunch specials or meals so you can enjoy their lovely salad and miso soup as well!
Why so bright? Went to have dinner but had to leave. Don’t doubt the food is good:
Nice sushi!
Great place to eat Thai food. I just love Chicken Pad Ped Red Curry and husband always orders the beef. It is delicious 😋.
amazing
Very good customer service glebe the pad Thai was very odd tasting
Some of the best sushi I’ve ever tasted!
Love this place. I can't count how many times I've been here over the last year. The wait time tends to be a little longer than I would have thought but they make everything to order, so it's always fresh and they have bluemoon! which is a huge plus. The dirty mouth roll is best on the menu . 110% recommend
I don’t recommend this sushi place. They lied over the phone about the prices. Also I waited and had to ask to be seated after finding out they spoke English clearly, and customer service was horrible a table that came after me got seen First by a server.
Server was SO nice and attentive. The food was amazing and so incredibly delicious. I will definitely be coming back very soon!
I've tried this place for the first time last week and I'm glad I did. I could tell they're very detailed at preparing the food and making it fresh. Not to mention the portions are huge and I always have leftovers for later. Shout out to their kitchen-staff they're the best. Highly recommended!
That Uni was fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 super fresh
First time I've been here. I walked in and placed a takeout order. Service was friendly and quick. Sushi was delicious. I'll be back
Excellent customer service. Double/triple checks every order. Delicious fresh sushi everytime. I’ve tried a lot of sushi in this area and this ones the best. I always feel like I got my $$$ worth. 11/10
The sushi was delicious, the Atomic bomb was my favorite.
Their utensils smelled like fish today 🤢🤮 I was super hungry and I couldn’t eat more than a couple bites. They even charged me for salad which is usually complementary with odun 😵😵 and I can’t believe I had to pay money for a dime sized Siracha 😡. Not done guys. Never coming again. You should be embarrassed about this ridiculous behaviour!!
Total money making business with reduced quality of food. Highly disappointed.
Delicious sushi and decent prices!
Amazing Sushi and attentive service. Definitely feels family owned, which I love. Stop in for a couple of rolls and a saki bomb if you get a chance. 🙂
Wow!! 11/10. We got the Vegas roll, the California tempura roll, and the mango avocado roll and they were all delish! We also got the gyoza appetizer and the fried ice cream and they both blew us away. Will definitely be eating here again :)
We are from Nebraska in town for the weekend…great service…delicious sushi…wonderful service! Glad we spent my sons 24th birthday here!
Unassuming place with wonderful sushi. Really enjoyed the Portage roll, and four other rolls we had. Very fresh and flavorful. Good service and price.
This was a great place for sushi. The food was excellent. The service was fast and super nice. Definitely recommend!
My Husband and I order from here at least 2 times a month. LOVE the food, very fresh!. The Staff! Great, always greets whom ever walks in, with a smile.
Been coming here for years, They have some of the best Sushi and Thai is the Ann arbor area.
The food was great and the staff was welcoming and friendly. My fiancéand I will definitely eat here again.
Went with a friend & it was horrible. Wish we went somewhere different.
Absolutely love this place my new favorite place to eat and it’s way better then ichiban
Great food and great customer service.
