We love the food and friendly staff at Akemi Sushi! We would usually go dine or order online at leat twice a month. One of the best Japanese restaurant in Langford or Greater Victoria.

Look, I absolutely love this place! I eat here almost twice a week because it’s phenomenal sushi! I live downtown but it’s worth the drive! I always get the Akemi roll (it has real crab) and my fiancée gets the beef teriyaki bento box we ALWAYS split the baked scallops so definitely try it out, it’s what we crave most! Their steak sauce is great over rice, don’t miss out and try this place :)

Not enough wasabi and soya in our order. Way too much cucumber in the sushi roll. They should be embarrassed.

I wish there was a 4.5 option. This place was good, but not my favourite so far. Generally good flavors and good quality, but one of several good places in Langford (thank god)

The sushi is good and tastes very fresh. Our palette isn't adventurous, we order the California rolls, dynamite roll, spicy shrimp roll, and prawn tempura. All very fresh and tasty. The prices were on the lower end of average, if that makes any sense. Not inexpensive. It wasn't busy, however we only recently became aware of the restaurant.

I am extremely disappointed with the food. I came home all excited to enjoy some sushi rolls with my daughter, only to be absolutely disgusted to the point where I had to spit it out; I couldn t even choke it down. The rolls were warm (as if they had been in a warmer), clearly too much vinegar was used when making the rice because it was super noticeable, and the amount of Avocado they crammed into the rolls was more than a little much. It was a mouthful of WARM MUSH that had been doused in vinegar. I ve never experienced bad sushi in my life, I didn t know it was possible - but I just wasted $60 on 4 rolls of whatever that was. Maybe they need a new sushi chef?

It absolutely baffles me when I see this restaurant with nobody in it. Its great! Weve been there three times now in almost as many weeks, The waitresses are pleasant and nice. The drinks are cold., and the food fresh. Now I must say I saee skip drivers coming and going almost every ten minutes but WHY eat in nobody there? Great place with a fireplace and all. Now the front room kinda sucks as you have peoples headlights in your face all the time but the back room is awesome and we always request the back room. Anyway please try! Support this business and go...go eat in! get the hell outta the house.

I was passing through Langford, had a craving for Sushi. Never been to Akemi before. Beyond pleasantly surprised. One gets nervous when you walk into a restaurant and its bereft of other guests. But I am happy to report, my skepticism was misplaced. Akemi sushi was outstanding, extremely sweet staff that were attentive but not overbearing. I ordered spicy salmon rolls (6 pieces) and my wife ordered tuna sashimi, mine was fresh and the pieces of salmon were very generous! My wife reported that her tuna slices were thick and very very fresh, without that partially frozen food taste you get with sashimi at some places. The cost was as expected for sushi, average meal for two will cost around $55.00 after tip and tax, you can get better value elsewhere but not with this level of freshness. I cant give a fair rating for atmosphere as the restaurant was empty while we were there, but the decor was tastefully minimal, yet still welcoming especially when combined with friendly staff. Well done Akemi! Keep it up!

I have been going to Akemi since they had their previous establishment. I like the food, the people and the location, parking isnt always available out front but its a small mall complex Prices everywhere are going up so I cant blame Akemi for doing the same. I have never had bad food or bad service and know all of the service staff by name. My only negative is the condition of the mens washroom but that is a problem for the landlord.

December 22, 2023

Its cheap for a reason, dont waste your money.

The food is fine. However if you order through Skip the Dishes and want a bento box. Youll pay more and receive less than ordering directly off their menu and going to get it yourself. If you order off Skip you wont get the tempura and the cali rolls that usually come with a bento box. Bit of a scam there Id say.

Worse than grocery store sushi and much more expensive. We ordered a BC Cone and it was not worth almost 7 dollars. It was small, anemic, and not flavourful. Takoyaki was undercooked. We also ordered two Maki rolls, and they were not good. Honestly surprised that this place has such good reviews.

First time having sushi since I moved to VanIsle. The husband and I went on Wednesday, August 11th and our server, Lok, was amazing. The food was plated tastefully and it was a very pleasant experience! We kinda had little bits of everything... I ordered the Hosomaki Roll, Hotate Nigiri, Rock Yam Roll, Unagi Nigiri, and a Miso soup. He ordered both the Crab and Vegetable Gyoza and the Oyakokatsu (Chicken) Udon. All of it was delicious!

It sure seems like restaurants have new menus with price increases. 3rd one for me since reopening. We had lunch here, the deluxe Bento box $17. Right $17 for lunch and the regular $13.

I had business and time constraints the day I visited Akemi Sushi for lunch. I was able to place a takeout order from their beautiful menu and was not disappointed in presentation or flavour. The restaurant itself was at seating capacity which staff was polite in their disclosure. My intention was for takeout anyway. They are slightly higher priced, but worth paying the extra for quality. They only use real fish for their product. No imitation crab. Sockeye salmon, ahi or Blue fin tuna, the quality is worth the extra money! A popular hidden gem, I recommend calling in advance for a restaurant seat or be prepared to wait. Same if you want takeout. They are decidedly worth the wait.
