What to Expect at Akai: Dress Code, DJ Sets & Atmosphere
When visiting a rooftop restaurant like Akai—where music, cuisine, and design are thoughtfully curated—it’s natural to wonder what to wear and what vibe to expect. Whether you're coming for dinner, cocktails, or a night of dancing, here’s your guide to enjoying Akai in style.
Dress Code: Effortless Elegance
At Akai, we welcome personal style—but we encourage our guests to embrace chic, elevated looks that match the space. Think: stylish but comfortable, elegant without being overly formal.
- For men: a shirt, tailored pants or dark jeans, and clean shoes always work. No beachwear, or flip-flops.
- For women: dresses, dressy tops, jumpsuits, or smart separates are perfect. Heels or elegant flats complete the look.
- For all: Fashion-forward streetwear is welcome, but we kindly ask guests to avoid overly casual looks like athletic gear, baseball caps, or oversized backpacks.
In short: smart casual to dressy. You’re here to enjoy the view—feel free to look the part.
DJ Set Hours: Music from 9 PM till Late
Akai is known not only for its cuisine but also for its evening ambiance, thanks to our rotating lineup of talented DJs.
- When? Every Thursday to Saturday, our live DJ sets begin at 9 PM and continue until late.
- What kind of music? Expect rnb, hip hop on Thursday. Deep house, nu-disco, electronic lounge, and international hits sets designed to elevate the atmosphere without overpowering conversation.
- Perfect for: Afterwork drinks, romantic dates, birthdays, and groups who enjoy music with their meal—but not a nightclub vibe.
As the night unfolds, the tempo builds subtly—moving from serene to sensual, creating a smooth transition from dinner to cocktails and dancing by the bar. The volume gradually increases from around 9:30 PM and reaches its peak between 10:30 and 11:00 PM. If you prefer a quieter dinner, we recommend booking earlier—from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
Come As You Are—Just a Bit Elevated
Akai is a place where elegance meets energy. We want you to feel comfortable, confident, and inspired by the space, the sounds, and the people around you.
Book your experience today and discover how Akai transforms from rooftop restaurant to high-altitude haven—every night of the week.
