Aki Japanese Restaurant - Covington (LA)

5 /5 Tim Pinneri: Ive traveled around the country and had really good sushi. But this takes top award for the best sushi that Ive had in a long time. The outside of the building is deceiving because it is a renovated house that fits perfectly into this small community and blends in with the surroundings. At first I had to do a double take in order to make sure thats where I was. the chefs behind the bar did a fantastic job preparing the food. Even heard the one making suggestions to the couple to the right of me since they were very intrigued of the unique sushi dishes. My three pictures that Ive posted is what I had. I love eel and theirs was very pleasing to The taste and outstanding. This is a must go to place. If you are in this area. I highly recommend it. Its a small place and its very busy.

5 /5 Nathan Palencia: Be prepared as each flavor is one to savor at Aki. Unbeknownst to those who have just off the beaten path come into the presence of these professionals. We find ourselves selves again faced with the unfortunate fact our stomachs are not larger. Truly, my sole dissapiontment was we could not consume more of the delicious offerings provided here. I must urge you, chew slowly, as you will attemt to voraciously devour the myriad of flavorful options. Aki will have you utterly enchanted by the aromas and tastings, while your soul is made whole, with piece by piece of delicious sashimi, hand cut by the best chefs in Covington. Enthralled by this selection, I have yet to expierience something similar, as many have tried to replicate these methods but none have come close to the level of service and food here. Without a doubt, I will most certainly see you again.

5 /5 Aubrie Ribolla: Everything we ordered was truly outstanding. This is some of the best, most fresh sushi I’ve ever had. The service was beyond good!! A complete 10/10.

4 /5 Ashley Grillot: Another $ increase. $41 for one roll w/ taxes. I’ve loved this place for years but unfortunately I won’t be back. It’s quality fish but it’s not $40-a-roll good. Even the hostess looked shocked as she handed me the bill and said “I guess they went up on prices again.”

5 /5 Zach Vaughn: I am a true disciple of Aki. It is hands-down my favorite sushi anywhere, in any state, in any country I’ve visited, ever. I travel a good bit, and I eat sushi everywhere I go; there is no comparison to Aki. Sushi is three things: Quality fish, Skilled artistry, and Love. Aki has all three ingredients in spades. All the fish is fresh and top-notch in grade. The chefs are impeccable in their abilities. And the love comes out in the service, the children’s hangings on the wall, and the flavorful and unique combinations on (and off) the menu. If you have to wait to get a seat, then wait - it’s worth it! Have not had a bite yet that need a second… and third, fourth, fifth. Aki is not just my favorite sushi, it is my favorite restaurant, period. Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, date nights, friend dinners, and pretty much every other week just in general, this is our go-to comfort food. Our home away from home (who has way better sushi than our home), filled with a whole staff who feel like family. Highest of recommendations! (Do yourself a favor and order a Hurricane Roll. You’re welcome.)
