Aka Sushi Downtown — Restaurant in Corpus Christi

A Slice of Sushi Heaven in Corpus Christi

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a charming sushi restaurant in Corpus Christi that left a lasting impression on me. From the moment I walked through the doors of this hidden gem, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for an exceptional dining experience.

Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the cozy and intimate atmosphere of the restaurant. The dim lighting and tasteful decor created a relaxed and inviting ambiance, perfect for a memorable dining experience. The place exuded an authentic Japanese charm, transporting me away from the Texan coastline to the heart of sushi culture.

What truly set this restaurant apart was the incredibly hospitable owners, who took the time to personally welcome and engage with each patron. Their passion for sushi was palpable as they explained the various dishes and their origins, which added an educational element to the meal. Their attentiveness to our needs and preferences made us feel like valued guests rather than mere customers.

The menu featured a wide selection of sushi and sashimi, all beautifully presented with a keen eye for detail. The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every bite, and the skill of the chefs shone through in the exquisite preparation of each dish. I couldn't help but appreciate the dedication to quality and authenticity that the restaurant embodied.

As a delightful surprise, the owners offered a complimentary sashimi platter on the house. This gesture showcased their commitment to ensuring every customer left with a memorable experience. The sashimi was a work of art, a symphony of colors and textures, showcasing the chef's precision in slicing the freshest fish. It was a testament to the restaurant's dedication to exceeding expectations.

The dining experience was further elevated by the carefully curated selection of sake and other beverages, providing a perfect accompaniment to the meal. The knowledgeable staff was more than willing to provide recommendations and help pair drinks with dishes.

Not sure how this place has any sort of good review. I came to corpus on a business trip and I love sushi (or anything that's not fast food). To start off I was extremely pissed with the service there. I normally wouldn't care but for the price they are charging it should come with a small side of good customer service. I came around 7pm which was dinner time but surprisingly not busy although the restaurant is rather small. It had about 11 customers or so. I came alone. I was sat down pretty quick but everything after that was far from quick. I sat down and waited 20 mins before I was greeted by my server and asked what to drink. Took at least 10 mins for the drink. Then ordered food. I didn't order much at first. 16 piece chef special sashimi, which wasn't nothing special. 4 small pieces of salmon, tuna, hamachi, and flounder I believe. Only thing that was out of the norm was he flounder. The fish tasted fresh but I waited about 40 mins for that. 35$ and was not worth it at all. I been to dozen of sushi places all over the US and I been to $-$$$$ places but I feel like I wouldn't pay over 20$ for this if I knew what it was. Second I placed an order for live scallop nigiri and uni because I wasn't satisfied whatsoever so I thought if I pick the items myself I would be more happy. Scallops nigiri was ok $17 for 4 pieces. Once again it was a no price item and if I known I wouldn't have paid. And last but not least the uni. That was the best part of my visit. One of the best I've tasted. Fresh and not a fishy taste like most of the places I tried. I quickly ask for the bill as I seen the waitress pass. My bill was 74$ for just me! Took 10-15mins for the change. I paid with $100 bill and got back mostly 1s and 5s my biggest pet peeve and while giving the change the waitress was SUPER nice. I give tip where I feel like they derseve it. Hell I've given a $160 tip before. Overall I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody to be honest. Very disappoint. First and last time...

Visiting from 7 hours away and this was the first dinner choice and let me tell you I was more than impressed. Came in a bit late but was still greated by everyone with a smile. I got spicy garlic edamame and it was soft and well cooked, you can taste the fresh garlic and peppers. The Fuji sea crunch was so tasteful every bite registered a new taste, it's recommended to take two bites per roll. For sushi, aka house and Bushido were mind blowing, honestly this has been the best sushi I have ever had and I am I big sushi eater and taster in every city I go to and I can't say enough good things about the taste, everything was fresh and made finely. They had soju so I had a straw berry. Service: our server was Ms. KAY and let me just start by saying thank you to you Ms Kay. You have showed us what real 5 star treatment is, from the moment you greated us to the way you took care of us. Being attentive making sure we never ran out of water, bringing us our food and cleaning our tables to make room for more food, making jokes and being genuine and friendly, pouring our sojo and to top it off, you brought my lady a fried cheese cake for her birthday ever tho I had mentioned we were celebrating it from a month ago on this trip. You went above and beyond to make her happy. She cried of joy and you joining her crying really showed that you love what you do and care about others and that is hard to find these days. May you be filled with blessings, joy and love. Final thought: if we go back to corpus it's definitely just to come eat here, it...
