Absolute perfection.
Our favorite sushi restaurant in California. Just a phenomenal experience.

on 6/26 we had the pleasure to enjoy the sushi served at this restaurant. This was our 3rd visitation. The preparation and serving of the sushi offered by the chef is unmatched in Northern Ca. We have enjoyed sushi around the world. This restaurant

I put three stars because they were able to accommodate us for one hour time limited dinner. I don't mind to only spend only one hour however I'm very curious that the owner and wife don't do any improvements their customer service aft
Leaving this review before even eating.
Called this place multiple times for weeks with no answer. Came at 5pm on Thursday. One couple and nobody at the sushi bar. Super unfriendly lady would not let my 9 yo son and me sit at the sushi bar. Wouldn't say why. After multiple times askin

On their menu it states you MUST spend 30 dollars per person. No way am I taking MY money to a place that wants to control my budget! Their sushi is not that great and their service sucks.
UNBELIEVABLY UNACCEPTABLE.
..made reservations months in advance for a special occasion, 4 hours before our reservation they called me and said they were closed tonight, I can't express how upset and disappointed I am...definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND this place
I almost hate to write reviews when we find new restaurants
I almost hate to write reviews when we find new restaurants that we LOVE. We are afraid to make them too busy where we can't get in. This was some of the best and freshest sushi we have ever eaten! It's a tiny place, but it's fantas
Delicious, but not so friendly or welcoming.
My party liked the food, but I'm giving two less stars as they were not allergy friendly. I appreciated that they told me that the food I ordered is not safe for my allergies. So I ordered another sushi, which didn't arrive. When I checked
My entire experience was incredible.
The assorted sashimi plate was outstanding, best sashimi I have ever had. The service was quick and polite.

A weekday walk in scenario! Otoro was super good with its chilly temperature in both nigiri and handroll format. Real wasabi was so good with the 10 pc chef's choice. The chawan mushi was also cooked so perfectly that it was super silky with t
Went for dinner with friends. Everyone enjoyed the meal.
The sushi is top notch but the service is lacking. If you don't mind the unfriendly service, the food is worth it. Not the nicest space in town but, again, worth it for the quality of the food.
No frills edomae style sushi
This place was exactly what I was hoping it it would be. Solid no frills edomae style sushi. I was not looking for rolls/makis or fusion sushi or cocktails. I just want good sushi carefully made. Thats exaxtly what we got. Their homemade tofu w
TOO EXPENSIVE, SERVICE UNACCEPTABLE, SMALL PORTIONS
WORST SERVICE EVER, 150$ FOR 5 DISHES We have never felt so uncomfortable in a place before. The restaurant closes at 20,00, and since we entered at 19,10 inside the place the waiter starts dealing with us literally like s**t, without a minimum of
Eat sushi like the locals.
Hole-in-the-wall sushi restaurant. Some friends recommended that we make reservations. That took almost two weeks to get a hold of someone. but it's tiny and we were so glad we did! I don't think we were fully prepared for the experience
Outstanding authentic Japanese sushi
We each had a 10-piece sushi set which was possibly the best we’ve ever had (including from restaurants visited in Japan!) Super fresh, hand made in front of us. Perfect.
Rude service
I went to the restaurant coz it’s listed on Michelin recommendations, They are way from friendly and welcoming, felt like unwanted to be there, but I realized I’m not the only one have this impression , after I have red other comments . Sushi is
Never
Plan on going somewhere else. You ever see the Seinfeld episode? Well this place is sort of like that soup place. The lady is just plain rude. Plenty of other sushi options nearby.
Tasty, but sadistic co-owner/waitress
I would’ve given five stars, but the wife/co-owner of the restaurant, who is also the waitress, is a miserable human. She is just god-awful/snooty/arrogant and she ruins the experience. I would prefer not to give her my business. I have eaten her
Akaoni you is the finest!
For all of those people posting on here that are whining about not getting into this place without a reservation or for those posting negative things about the owner and his wife’s demeanor-trust me-you wouldn’t know a great sushi restaurant or p
SNOB
First of all, it was recommended by YT blogger. No mention of reservation needed to eat in this Resto but I still called them numerous times but no answer. We even tried their website, it's broken. Dinner service starts at 5pm. We were the first

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Akaoni Carmel-by-the-Sea. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Akaoni Carmel-by-the-Sea at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Akaoni Carmel-by-the-Sea page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* BraveCloth47, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* BraveCloth47 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to BraveCloth47 for any questions Peter may have as BraveCloth47 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* BraveCloth47 now uses their connections at Akaoni Carmel-by-the-Sea to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If BraveCloth47 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, BraveCloth47 receives the $200 reward which is credited to BraveCloth47's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Akaoni Carmel-by-the-Sea!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
