Akida Japanese Restraunt

As far as sushi places go, this one is a keeper. It's a small storefront, so the dining room can feel a little cramped when it's full on a Saturday, but it wasn't loud. The host is very gracious and the service was delivered well. Food was good, edamame was fresh and hot, combo #8 was almost enough for two, plus a couple extra sashimi. The mackerel was perfect. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Definitely worth checking out.

This place is wonderful. I had heard about Akida for years from family, saying they have “the best lunch deal in town.” I have yet to eat here for lunch, but I have come for dinner over a dozen times. EVERY time, the service is excellent, the food is fresh, and the ambiance can’t be beat. Akida is a great part of the Richmond restaurant scene.

Best Authentic Shushi in RVA Super fresh and so much variety Huge Saki selection Reasonably priced $$ Clean and service is excellent The place is small so not much room for a big party if haven’t reserved in advance but nonetheless it’s quaint and feels intimate for a great date night or lunch with friends. I recommend the *Queen Roll as my top choice. (Photo*) You heard it here first @GudbellyRva #tipthechef

What a great little gem in the middle of Richmond in the Devil's Triangle. This was our first time trying Akidas. We were celebrating the end of my daughters cheerleading season and she and I tend to try new sushi places. We drove by a couple it a couple of times before we noticed it was in between a few other places. It's not the biggest joint but it was fairly busy when we got there. We saw that the small table in the back for two. They had two waitresses working and they were very attentive. We ordered an appetizer of edamame and then for different sushi rolls. We got a yellowtail, ungai, spider and then a Manhattan roll. The food came pretty quick it look like they had to guys behind the sushi bar working. Everything was very fresh and tasty. The sushi seem to be a good quality and we were very happy with all of it. Probably the only thing I didn't like was sitting at the little to top we are right in front of the bathroom so we can hear every flush that happened but that's just do to it being a tiny place. I would highly recommend and I definitely would come back.
