When my friends organized a dinner at Aki, I was automatically on board! I've read that Aki is one of the best authentic Japanese Restaurants in Vancouver and they have been open since 1963. They originally were located on Thurlow but moved to this swanky new establishment on Pender Street.




 They have a regular menu and also a fresh sheet with all the sashimi and other kitchen creations.


I ordered salmon sashimi (which was so melt-in-your mouth delicious!),


Tempura Udon,

Nabeyaki Udon

Some of the other items my friends ordered:



I had a great meal! And wanted to order even more but alas, I can't finish everything by myself. I was looking at all the dishes the people across from us ordered and I wanted to try them out too! Definitely a repeat visit is in order.
