My first time checking out Aiko and I was very impressed. Food, service and atmosphere is everything we needed for a girls night out. I would also say that it’s a perfect place for a date night. We ordered off the menu and averaged out to be about $100 person before tip. Full belly and a fun time. I will definitely return!

The food is the best sushi in America. I go to restaurants in NY, LA, Vegas, Miami. This is the best sushi in the country. The dishes are creative and prepared like you would find at a Michelin-star restaurant. I have gone here for Christmas, New Years Eve, Anniversary, Birthday over the years. Always a great. Not inexpensive, but worth every dollar for the quality. Drinks are creative. If you are z champagne drinker they even have my favorite, Ruinart. The only opportunity was we brought a baby and a little tough for seating choices. But we were fine and the baby didn't make a peep. Eat, enjoy, celebrate.
