“ There are so many roll options it was a little.intimidating, so we did the special combo which made the list much more manageable, and a pretty good deal too. Each combo is 18 for a miso soup, appetizer, classic roll, and special roll. The only thing I wasnt crazy about was the steamed dumplings ”
“ Best Authentic Shushi in RVA Super fresh and so much variety Huge Saki selection Reasonably priced Clean and service is excellent The place is small so not much room for a big party if havent reserved in advance but nonetheless its quaint and feels intimate for a great date night or lunch with friends. I recommend the Queen Roll as my top choice. Photo You heard it here first GudbellyRva tipthechef ”

“ What a hidden gem! The staff was kind and efficient. The menu was filled with great entree options, including combo deals which came with the best Miso soup Ive had in a while. The food was delicious and I cant wait to go back to try their Udon! ”
“ What a great little gem in the middle of Richmond in the Devils Triangle. This was our first time trying Akidas. We were celebrating the end of my daughters cheerleading season and she and I tend to try new sushi places. We drove by a couple it a couple of times before we noticed it was in between a few other places. Its not the biggest joint but it was fairly busy when we got there. We saw that the small table in the back for two. They had two waitresses working and they were very attentive. We ordered an appetizer of edamame and then for different sushi rolls. We got a yellowtail, ungai, spider and then a Manhattan roll. The food came pretty quick it look like they had to guys behind the sushi bar working. Everything was very fresh and tasty. The sushi seem to be a good quality and we were very happy with all of it. Probably the only thing I didnt like was sitting at the little to top we are right in front of the bathroom so we can hear every flush that happened but thats just do to it being a tiny place. I would highly recommend and I definitely would come back. ”
“ Went to Akida one random night with my wife. Happened upon it just searching for Richmonds best sushi and it happened to be close to where we were. Im very glad we went there! The sushi was ridiculously fresh and tasty! The wife and I sat at the sushi bar and ate there as this is unfortunately a very small place. But if you like sushi this is the place to go, even if you have to wait for a seat! ”
“ One of my favorite sushi places in the whole richmond area. Always fresh and delicious. ”
“ What a quaint little neighborhood restaurant! Huge selections of specialty rolls, plus regular full menu. Sushi was well made and was very creative. My husband is on low carb diet, he really enjoyed the Naruto Roll made with no rice. Diced Tuna, Salmon, Yellowtail, and Avocado were wrapped in cucumber slices, decorated with Flying Fish Roe. I ordered the Sky Roll and never had anything like it. Minced Spicy Salmon was mixed with Tempura crunch to form a square base, Rice and Spicy Tuna were in the middle, topped with Lobster Salad and Red Tobiko, drizzled with eel sauce and spicy mayonnaise sauce. It was delicious! ”
