Akiko Sushi Bar — Restaurant in Tel-Aviv

The sushi is really good, BUT the way they’ve built the menu - you need a Phd to figure out how much you’re going to pay.

All rolls are ‘custom made’ and the price for each ingredient is calculated separately. That’s how I ended up paying 35 nis for a plain Maki roll, just because I didn’t know they added up a cucumber.

I don’t mind paying the price for a good sushi, but that uncertainty added up a lot of tension to the meal. I think that’s why all the negative reviews regarding the price - People are caught by surprise at the bill.

The owner handed out dishes AND took the calls. Seems she was quite stress about it and that atmosphere stressed everyone out. She was really nice, but I didn’t even get a glass of water.

Amazing Japanese restaurant. Everything I tasted was very delicious, fresh with high-quality ingredients. A large selection of dishes besides sushi with a wide variety of fish.

We could spend less and still have a good lunch, but it was my husband’s Birthday, so we were celebrating and left the place being happy and having...
