Akemi - Köln

Just after an succesful try to a spanish delight and since the other good places were full booked already, it was a real coincidence that we ever landed here.I cant be sure if this place is owned or run by any real Japanese. Pls start looking at the ambiance. ;-) But it isnt something new, here in Germany. Esp. if in fact, many pizzerias are/were owned by Arabs, Vietnamese run Thai & Chinese Restos and on the other hand the Chinese are taking care of Japanese venues.Our Thai waitress aproached us with some thai and the only thing I could catch was the word 'thai'. lol She was kinda slow that evening and she looked as if the world isnt fair to her but her voice became tender as we left her with some tips.The service mentioned the buffet, but we didnt see any buffet tables/bar around. But as I carried the picture of a pan filled with delish paella, I wasnt really into any flat rate dinner or buffet anyway so we decided to order ala carte, as follow:(Price range: budget to moderate)Surimi Strips with plum sauce(my charming cavalier got Chicken Satay with Fish Rolls)and we shared a plate of Sushi Creative -ended with 14 Sushi rolls with Tuna, Salmon, Ebi & Avocado.The Surimi Strips tasted more to two bunches of fried wheat dough with a tiny little fish flavor. The waitress explained us that Surimi is made of crabs. lol The Chicken Satay was well marinated and the Fish Rolls didnt taste bad afterall. But all of the warm dishes was not served warm enough.Here we come the Sushi...They are all huge, I had no clue... Either they think that japanese or german has wide big mouth. ;-) The only thing that awed me that evening was the fact that the avocado (both as filling and strip) was ripe and sweet, as the taste of the Ebi Prawn and Fish wasnt that convincing to me. The rice was huge, thick and somehow too overcooked.

The food was acceptable, better than other places in Südatadt; for a Sushi place the fish quality was not good enough

I lived near to that restaurant and the sushi they serve is really special, tasty and fresh. I absolutely recommend it!

Very friendly and fast staff..... Very tasty food.... Price performance is right. We like to come back

Super cool sushi shop in southern town with very friendly service. Two times a week, an All you can eat menu is offered at a good price of 25€. Very delicious and fresh sushi. We always like to be here.
