What a great little gem in the middle of Richmond in the Devil's 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...Read More

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...Read More

Best hidden gem of RVA. Usually, this place is packed and the wait can be long. So, we only come here when we are lucky to spot empty tables. The sushi here is consistently good so is the quality of the meat. There are combos...Read More

Akida has been one of my favorite sushi restaurants in RVA for a reason. Recently I tried a croquet appetizer which was made with tempura. Yum.

Went with family on Saturday night. Menu is massive. The restaurant was very busy but seemed understaffed even for such a small place. Food was good but I wouldn't call it exceptional. I'd recommend visiting on a weekday.

Great sushi place. Super friendly staff. Prices very reasonable. They have dozens of specialty and unique rolls, as well as nigiri and sashimi but their rolls are what’s best here. Lots of noodle and rice dishes but I usually end up with sushi and edamame....Read More

I think the bad reviews this place is receiving is from people that don’t enjoy a simple no frills restaurant. The portions are massive. The biggest portions I’ve ever received at a sushi restaurant for a really good price. The quality is good and it’s...Read More

One of the best and most traditional sushi places in the area. Don't go here expecting westernized flavor bazooka rolls, drowned in sauce. Sashimi is generous, thick slices of genuinely enjoyable fish.

Akida is by far my favorite sushi in Richmond. It’s very small, but I find it charming and intimate. You’ll want to go closer to when they open for dinner to avoid waiting for a table, as it’s in the Devil’s Triangle it fills up...Read More
