My boyfriend and I love sushi. Several years ago, before we moved to New York, we made a visit and happened upon Aki. It was the most amazing sushi experience we've ever had and it has been our favorite "special treat" restaurant" since. While I haven't frequented some of the high-end sushi restaurants like Nobu, I think Aki has to be one of the best sushi places in the city. It's moderately priced (we spent about $70 for 6 rolls, seaweed salad and a fancy appetiser) and the sushi is amazing. Honestly, it's ruined a lot of other sushi places for me. The seaweed salad has to be the highlight. The sushi is perfect and the seaweed wrapping isn't chewy and gummy like most sushi places. While the location itself is very modest (they can probably only seat 15 people total including the bar), I highly recommend Aki for some of the best sushi in town. (Make reservations if you can, as they're often too full on weekends)
