We have always wanted to try Aker and dined in on Valentine’s day! It was an amazing experience, they had a special curated menu for the occasion. The service was wonderful, server was friendly and attentive. They explained each dish as they served, each course was paced perfectly. The food was sooooo delicious, the nigiri just melted in my mouth – it was soooo good and I normally don’t favor nigiri. I think this has become one of my favorites in SLC – I appreciate intentional dining and you can feel that the chefs care about what they’re serving (which I feel is rare in Utah). It was a really nice atmosphere as well. Overall, I’m so pleased with my experience and will definitely be coming back.

Aker has set an incredibly high standard for dining in the heart of Salt Lake City. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear the team takes professionalism and customer care to another level. The staff is attentive, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making sure every guest has a great experience.
What really stands out is the care the team puts into each visit. Most recently, they managed to sneak me in for a reservation over Valentine’s Day, which was no small feat. My party left with nothing but smiles and full stomachs. The food, service, and atmosphere all came together perfectly.
Aker is a great example of what hospitality should look like. A thoughtful team, excellent service, and a dining experience that consistently delivers.

Had a great experience at Aker with some friends over the weekend. I loved the feel and design of the restaurant.
We started with some cocktails and sushi. The sushi flavors were fantastic. I wish I remembered the names at the moment. I will definitely be back for the sushi again. We then had the Chilean sea bass and the wagyu steak. The sea bass was by far my favorite. Cooked to perfection and the sauce on top went well with the fish and mashed potatoes. Absolutely phenomenal.
Only challenge we had was our server was not that attentive. We weren’t checked on for very long periods. We had to stop a different server to get ours to come take our order. It won’t stop us from coming back.
All in all, glad to have found a great restaurant in salt lake!

One of the best meals I have ever had. I chose to do the chefs tasting menu and I was not disappointed. Starting off with the Wagu gyoza which was so flavorful. The texture and the taste paired so well. Next was the crispy rice and it was served with cilantro and that was a little wrinkle for me. But I just removed it and was so tasty. Just a tad hard to eat with my clump at chopstick hands. Then came the showstopper of the freshly grated wasabi. The sushi was so fresh tasting and the roll with strawberry was unexpected but one of the better rolls I have ever had. Then came the main attraction the Wagu steak. The broccolini was cooked perfectly with a bit of a crunch and it paired well with the homemade chimichurri but the steak was melt in your mouth perfect. Finally, to end the night I had the Oreo cheesecake and the presentation alone was worth it. The fruit was delicious and fresh. The mochi was light and paired well with the fruit. The service was top notch and the restaurant was basically empty so it was very relaxing.

The ambience creates a great setting for a special dining experience. The maguro is one of my favorite things I have ever eaten! I also tried the nigiri flight and it was superb. The rest of my party had the steak which I tried as well and was incredible. For appetizers we tried the gyoza (10/10), miso shrimp (10/10). The Oreo cheesecake is a must try!

I think this might’ve been the worst sushi I’ve ever had. You can see the quality of the rice on the rolls, it was super bland and falling apart. The worst was the fishy sushi, especially the otoro nigiri, it was extremely fishy.
They have Nobu prices with out the flavor and the experience. The best thing I tried was the crispy rice appetizer and I’m sure it was because it was fried.
They should stick to stake and not hype their “dry aged” fish.
Plenty of other sushi spots for better quality and much lower price.

I’m extremely disappointed by our experience last night at Aker.
My friend and I walked in for a table for two and were greeted by the host, Geo. Before leaving the house, I checked OpenTable and saw numerous reservation times available throughout the evening. There were plenty of open slots, which is why we didn’t think we needed to make one in advance.
When we arrived, we were immediately told the restaurant was completely full for the night — no tables, no bar seating, nothing available. The response felt dismissive and final, as though there was no room for discussion or assistance.
Standing there confused, I reopened OpenTable and saw the same reservations still available. I made one on the spot, directly in front of Geo, and suddenly we were able to be seated.
Once we were brought inside, we noticed multiple empty tables throughout the dining area. After being told the restaurant was “fully booked,” seeing open seating inside only added to how uncomfortable and awkward the entire interaction felt.
We’ve dined here many times and have brought friends and family because we genuinely enjoy the restaurant. That’s what made tonight’s front-of-house experience so surprising. The tone felt subtly rude and unwelcoming, and there was no acknowledgment or apology for the confusion.
Hospitality starts at the door. Unfortunately, tonight’s experience did not reflect that.

I ordered the pan-seared Chilean Seabass, and it was cooked to absolute perfection—silky, tender, and beautifully seasoned. The truffle mashed potatoes were delicious, with the truffle flavor really standing out without overpowering the dish. The miso-truffle glaze and the leeks tied everything together nicely; the sautéed spinach was a bit to bland for my tasting. Service was excellent throughout, and the atmosphere is quite enjoyable. Highly recommend

If you’re from Utah, or at least have spent a lot of time here, you know that fantastic food is few and far between. We went here last night for my fiancé’s birthday and it was incredible! We got the Wagyu Ribeye and 15-piece Chef’s Choice Sashimi, along with a few of the rolls and some cocktails. Everything our waitress recommended to us was exceptional, her service was fantastic, and even though it was a busier evening for them, we still felt very secluded and it didn’t feel like it was as busy as it was. The cherry on top was the lava cake they gave him on the house— 10/10. Transparently it is on the more expensive side, but it is well worth every dollar. We will definitely be celebrating life’s big events here in the future!

First, it must be said that the location and atmosphere of this restaurant is incredible. It’s a bit of a rough spot of town, but the history surrounding the buildings here as well as the rest of the city nearby means you should arrive before dinner with enough time to walk around, especially if you’re visiting.
Once inside, you’ll be greeted with a huge bar with a beautiful backdrop as well as spacious seating area. I found the tables to be spaced adequately so that we weren’t being overheard and still had a bit of privacy.
Unfortunately, the service for our visit was less than stellar. Although the restaurant was mostly empty, we waited for quite some time before being greeted by a server who was confused as to who should be waiting our table. She was happy to help but the confusion left off on the wrong foot. From there. We ended up waiting quite a long time between courses as much as 20 minutes or more between our appetizer and then sushi rolls and ultimately second shared course.
Due to the delay, we were eager to skip dessert and make our way out.
Now, that being said, the food was incredible. The bone marrow appetizer was succulent and delicious and something new. The sushi rolls made to order with a unique flair and the wagyu gaioza nearly had me seeing Divine eyes.
I’ll be back, it definitely warrants a second chance
