Having eaten here numerous times since it’s re-opening in a new, stylish space, Akari is definitely in the top 5, non-michelin restaurants in San Sebastián. The food, a subtle mixture of Basque and Japanese flavors and textures, is always meticulously prepared. With special sauces on fish, from Merluza (hake) to Bacalau (cod) to Mero (grouper), the dishes are a wonderful variation and change from the usual (but, also very tasty) traditional basque way of preparing these dishes. Langostine (large shrimp) with a delicate batter is a real treat. If the ensalada Udon (a noodle dish) is on the menu, it will be just delicious. Just about everything on the slightly changing menu is worth a try. You...
This city is supposed to be Foodie Heaven, but I find Pintxos greasy and overrated, the bars noisy and dirty, and the waiters rude. I was disappointed in San Sebastian... Until finally, far from the madding tourist crowds, we found Akari, a wonderful Japanese-Basque fusion restaurant. Clean, quiet, polite... and OMG the food! Very small menu, market-fresh everything, prepared to order and served with a smile. The Ensalada del Mar was a chiriashi without the heat, crispy leaves loaded with all kinds of fresh sea creatures, all in a piquant dressing. The sushi were as fresh as could be... with a couple of sardine fillets thrown in, too! And the fish of the day, a chunky monkfish fillet, was do...
If you were a fan of Txubillo, the great Japanese/Basque fusion restaurant, you’ll be thrilled to know Akari is the reincarnation of that gem. Many of the same great menu items, from the foie, tempura veggies, beautifully prepared fish and delicious torrija “french toast” dessert with ice cream). Also on the menu are some new items which are sure to please and we will be trying them on our many return visits. Unlike the old space which was darker and cave-like but cozy and charming), the new space is open, lighter in tone with more Japanese influences in its very stylish decor. Reasonably priced wine by the bottle or glass and a terrific, yet wholly different food experience from the traditi...
En general la comida no nos ha desagradado, pero tampoco ha sido nada espectacular, ni nos ha entusiasmado. El servicio bastante flojito, y en el comedor hacia bastante calor (creo que son conscientes porque tienen puestos varios ventiladores en toda la sala. El precio nos ha parecido algo elevado para lo que es. Hay mejores opciones de restaurantes japoneses en San Sebastián.

Comimos sushi para empezar, todos los pescados buenísimos. Hasta la salsa de soja era mejor que lo normal. Luego yo comí una panceta guisada excelente y un pastel de chocolate hecho con un cacao muy bueno acompañado con helado de avellana. Los vinos, muy bien escogidos.
Came here on the back of a recommendation. The menu was pretty small but we were still stuck for choice as it all sounded great. The mix of Basque and Japanese flavours worked really well and delivered a unique taste which was delicious!

Cena estupenda . Hemos cenado muy bien. Todo muy rico y el servicio muy atento. Destaco el entrecot y las gyoza, así como sus salsas.
