Richmond​のライブ音楽が楽しめるお店

I went here for an intimate birthday dinner and was blown away. It was the perfect environment for the occasion, and I would definitely go back. We ditched our dinner plans the next night to eat leftovers!

It’s been better. The food and service this time was not at the usual standard. The menu had become a bit dull and the desserts need an overhaul.

The food, the music in the background Ground, the wine and the proprietors were all wonderful. I will be back!

Dining at Akemi is always a satisfying experience: the food is delicious, fresh and a good value for the quality and size of portions. I typically order the Salmon miso bento, it comes with delicious white miso soup, salmon grilled with umami rich miso sauce and extra on side, cabbage salad, roasted brussel sprouts with honey mustard glaze and rice; enough food to take a portion home for next days lunch. Love the ambience when they play soft Jazz : pop music not so much since I still like to have conversations with my dining companions. I’ve come here many times over many years and it is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants for all kinds of occasions.

Lovely environment, we felt welcomed and cared for. Appetizers were good, shishitos were flavorful and crunchy! The clam chowder was full of clams and fresh, fish and chips also hit the mark. Tuna salad was ok. We had a lovely birthday celebration and our server Jill made it even better. Positive attitude, knowledgeable about the menu and really great service! Thank you!
