AKI puts a distinct spin on familiar Japanese flavours, leading you onto new and exciting gastronomic journeys.

Taking its name from word akitsu, which means ‘dragonfly’, AKI restaurant and lounge bar reflect the elegance, sophistication and perseverance of a creature the Japanese call the ‘victory insect’.

Their incredible skills are put to great use with an enticing selection of sushi, served tapas-style, together with a selection of meat and fish dishes expertly grilled on our Japanese robata grill.
