Aki's Japanese - Berkeley

Their Taiwanese pork over rice is so good I came There is Taiwanese braised pork rice here, here I come

Good food, reasonable prices, and good service. What else can one ask for?

I ordered a bento box. The portions were adequate and the food was good.

Aki's has become a once weekly destination for myself and friends. I love the food, and the employees are wonderful. My buddy loves the Fish Bento (very crispy), and my favorite is the minced pork and udon! They have self-serve hot tea indoors. Recommended heavily if you need a meeting place over dinner near campus.

At 11-16 a plate, the place doesn't really stand out much as a value, like it once did. The quantity of food might be large but that's about it, and the food itself isn't very noteworthy either. Seems fine if you live very close by, good atmosphere if a bit cramped. Nice staff, they're most of the stars I'm giving.
