| - My friends and I went to Akor with one objective: to go town on some seriously delicious sushi. I'm sad to report that we did not meet our objective.
We wanted a lot of sushi. But the sashimi was overpriced. I mean, straight fish, no sauce, no nothing, super expensive. There was no reason for it. There are plenty more high quality fish served at half the price elsewhere.
The rolls were disappointing, too, because they were overpriced as well. They were not that interesting. The spider roll was small and did not have good flavor. We didn't even finish it. We left three pieces on the plate.
Our waiter was nice, but when we asked for a roll with crunch, he suggested the tempura shrimp ball things. We should have said no because eating a large bowl of fried shrimp was as far from our original objective as we could get. About half the bowl was left uneaten.
The best dish we had was the butterfish, which is made with Escolar. It's delicious but has the potential to make you sick, if eaten too much. It's fatty. I would expect a signature dish at a high-end restaurant to be made of higher quality fish. But, it was good, for sure.
The service is outstanding and the interior is attractive. It is loud, though, so if you're with a group that enjoys great conversation, sit outside.
The most outstanding dish was a small plate of grilled peppers. It would have been more amazing if I was in the mood for cooked veggies.
