“My grandparents are Japanese and since I moved to the UK I cherish those rare moments where time stops and there is a magic vibe to a restaurant that brings you back to that comforting embrace that authentic home food can give. Almost like you are not a costumer, but visiting a distant relative that you haven’t seen since childhood. Aki is so so good! Can’t recommend enough.”

“I ordered the chicken katsu curry, which was perfectly crispy and seasoned. The curry was so nice so I wished there was more for the large portion of rice. My friend got the lunch upgrade with croquettes+miso, and I absolutely loved the pumpkin croquettes (sweet, crispy, and hot). The space is very cozy and intimate, and when I went at around 1:30, the tables were half full. Staff’s service was great and the food was served within 10 minutes. They also do delivery on deliveroo+uber eats!”

“Simple food but absolutely delicious. I recommend the Katsudon which is their specialty. Also, ask them to walk you through the menu if you’re unsure. The dishes can be quite different within the same category.”
