Food presentation is pretty! Food is delicious! We ordered sashimi set, ramen set and curry katsu with rice . The server was able to accommodate our request to seat us in a Japanese traditional room. Such a great atmosphere to eat Japanese food in! We will come back again!

Ordered the omakase set and a sashimi lunch set.
Sashimi lunch set is a standard lunch, the weird part was the bowl of rice that included is our regular jasmine rice instead of sushi rice. Hopefully this can be corrected as the texture does not go well with the sashimi.
Omakase sets, (forgot to take a picture of the hand roll) overall fresh and taste great, specifically for the hand roll which is stuff with toro, the uni taste amazing. Dessert was ok. You may ask for green tea or rice tea.
They would’ve received a 5 stars on food and service if the server would explain which side we should start eating to enhance the experience. It always beneficial to guest if they hear and understand the texture and story. The food overall has a great presentation.
Probably best to train to waiter/waitress to slightly explain on how to consume (potentially can use hand with clean towels)
Washroom looks clean and well maintained! Cozy environment with many private rooms.
Still deserve a 5 stars because you cannot complaint with the price on what they have offered. This is overall great experience. Thank you

This place is spectacular really a hidden gem. We came here during lunch time and was surprised about the relatively affordable prices. We had got the Curry Katsu Don ($18 Cash/$20 Regular), the Naha Spicy Ramen ($16 Cash/$18 Regular), and lastly the Salmon Lover Sushi set ($18 Cash/$20 Regular) not pictured.
First let’s talk about the food, the food is very reasonable for the price given there is a cash discount. You also get a salad and miso soup along with it. The Curry Katsu was tender, fatty, and overall good paired up with the sauce. Second, the Miso Ramen was had a springy, texture, and also well seasoned Cha Siu. Lastly and what I think is my favourite is the Salmon Sushi Set. The salmon was creamy, soft and very fresh, no not much fishy taste at all. The portions were also pretty reasonable giving 4 pc Sashimi, 4 pc Sushi, and 6 pc Maki.
The environment is also very nice and clean. They had Tatami mats where you can sit and an overall pretty intimate quiet environment. The service was exceptional especially from Tim, he was attentive and gave us good recommendations.
Overall, will be coming back for another round of sushi/sashimi, their lunch prices are pretty difficult to beat.

We tried Akoya Izakaya after seeing its 4‑star rating, but our experience didn’t match the reviews. We had a 5:30pm reservation and arrived early, only to be told we had to leave by 7pm. There was no mention of a time limit when booking, and it felt unreasonable. After we objected, the hostess extended it to 7:30pm, but the interaction felt unwelcoming.
We ordered sashimi, salads, assorted tempura, a grilled platter, and ramen. Service felt rushed, and when dishes arrived, the staff expected us to clear space on the table ourselves. The ramen was the biggest disappointment — cold broth, soft noodles, and overall poor flavour. The grilled prawn also tasted like it had been frozen rather than fresh. The rest of the food was acceptable but nothing memorable.
Between the service issues and uneven food quality, this was a 2‑star experience for us, and we wouldn’t return.

Great izakaya! Was surprised to find whole fish sashimi here. The server said the fish changes weekly like a “blind box,” and it even includes a fish bone soup. Amazing value for money! Highly recommend. Also, the tempura is highly recommended. It’s a great place hang out.

The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, making it a perfect spot to relax. On top of that, the service is outstanding—friendly, attentive, and always with a smile. Highly recommend!

I usually head downtown for izakaya, but I decided to check out Akoya since it’s newly opened. The restaurant positions itself as an authentic Japanese-style izakaya with some elevated touches. They highlight charcoal-grilled yakitori skewers, fresh sashimi/sushi, house-made ramen, and classic Japanese appetizers. A good fit for a date night, special occasion, or outing when you want something nicer than typical casual sushi. One thing I’d recommend improving is the speed of service — dishes took a while to come out, so hopefully they can tighten that up as the team settles in. Overall though, it’s a solid new addition to the area and worth trying if you’re looking for Japanese small plates without heading downtown.

First time in this newly opened restaurant, was warmly welcomed by the hostess, the restaurant is not very big, and the vibe is both friendly and welcoming.
The sushi and sashimi were fresh and top grade.
Service was great. The servers were friendly, courteous and informative.
The gender neutral restrooms are clean and spacious.
We’ll be back !!

Service was nice but disorganized and we were overcharged on the bill (the overcharge was quickly rectified, which is good at least). Food was pricey for the quantity and quality of what was served. Sitting in the tatami room was cool though.
