    I cannot recommend Aki enough if you’re in Valletta. The food was outstanding, the service was unmatched, and the restaurant itself was perfect. I wish I lived closer so I could come back every week.

    Overrated, sticky dirty scratched tables, drainage smell, sushi - too much topping sauces such as mayonnaise. The steak fish as a main course was delicious. Staff always with a smile.

    In Japan ist man leise geschäftig. Die Atmosphäre war sehr unruhig und eher laut geschäftig.
