The ambiance here is fantastic! It’s the perfect spot for a romantic dinner date. And if you’re in the mood for an outing, they have a great selection of sushi on the menu. The food is cooked to perfection, and the staff is friendly. However, they could improve their attention to detail when serving customers. Overall, I highly recommend this place when you’re in Malta.

Disappointing Service for a Fine Dining Experience

The food was quite good and authentic, the service was far from satisfactory. For a fine dining establishment, the service felt indifferent and impersonal—much colder than what you’d expect even from smaller restaurants.

The staff seemed to rush through every interaction as if fulfilling a routine rather than offering genuine hospitality. To our surprise, there was no “thank you” after we paid, nor did anyone acknowledge us when we left the restaurant.

Moreover, the design of the set menu was poorly thought out. We ordered the set menu for each of us, but it wasn’t made clear that the dishes would be shared. Instead of each person receiving individual portions, all items were served on shared plates. While this was manageable for some dishes, it became problematic later in the meal. For example, there was only one bowl of rice to accompany the steak, and the dessert consisted of just one single scoop of ice cream to be shared between two people. This left us feeling dissatisfied and disappointed.

Overall, while the food met expectations, the service and menu design fell short of what one would expect from a restaurant at this price point.

The interior is very cool,stylish designed. soothing chillout background music, friendly staff, a very well stocked bar and of course an extremely good kitchen bringing out servings presented  creatively. Their long open kitchen where all the movements can be observed, tell their own stories of the quality served. A must in Malta.

Dined as a couple on a busy Saturday night in December, and Aki Japanese exceeded all expectations. The menu offered a fantastic selection, with highlights including fresh oysters, Local Maltese Prawn Tacos, and Spicy Maltese Blue Fin Tuna—all perfectly prepared. Service was impeccable, the atmosphere vibrant with great club lounge background music, and the food quality exceptional at reasonable price. Be sure to leave room for dessert.

#Aki #Japanese is a perfect combination of incredible food, excellent service, and a warm, stylish ambiance. A popular choice, highly recommend booking in advance to secure your spot.

At first we didn’t know it was a Michelin restaurant, the atmosphere was amazing they had fun music. The food was very average for very high prices. The service took very long to arrive and they put pressure on us to buy starters. The sushi portions were very small compared to the prices. The drinks were very interesting as well. The bathroom was at another building which was not nice as well. Overall it is nice for a once in a life time experience but the prices were very high and the portions were very small.
