Akiko Hillhead is a Japanese-inspired poke and sushi bar at 491 Great Western Road in Glasgow. The casual format centres on fresh, nutritious food that works well for lunch or an early evening meal in the city’s West End.
Build-your-own poke bowls let diners choose a base, protein, vegetables, toppings and sauce. This flexibility allows each bowl to lean towards crisp freshness, richer savoury flavours or a lighter combination according to individual taste.
Sushi rolls, bento boxes, appetisers and weekly specials broaden the offering beyond poke. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available, making the concise menu adaptable to a range of preferences.
Food can be ordered directly from the restaurant as well as enjoyed at the premises. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should confirm every component, sauce and cross-contact risk with staff before ordering.
Address: 491 Great Western Road, Glasgow G12 8HL, Scotland
