Reviews
If you're craving sushi this is the best in Fernandina Beach! Great service and food! The staff is very welcoming. I love sitting on their porch when the weather permits. Very clean and tastefully decorated.
First time eating here! Fresh and super friendly staff (Ben). I certainly would come back:)
We did takeout so my review will focus more on the quality of the sushi and the service and ambiance. I did get a chance to look around and Akari is a very nice, quaint restaurant on the inside - fairly small but welcoming. The sushi bar itself is pretty small, so not sure about getting seating there if you were interested. We ended up ordering edamame (good), miso soup (just ok), yellowtail nigiri, an eel/avacado roll, and the Amelia Island roll. The sushi was very good - we really enjoyed all of the selections. Would have been much better to be at the restaurant in person for the presentation, but the food was excellent.
Nice people. Pleasant location. Good good food and service. I will definitely come again.
