The service was outstanding, with a great level of attention and the team was in sync, prepared, and always ready despite of being busy. Absolutely amazing, what a team! I will most certainly be back! Congratulations to the chef and team as they have our together a magnificent menu, evocative of Japan’s best restaurants in downtown Tokyo

Akira are good at what they do. Order from the set menu and you'll not be disappointed - pitch perfect sashimi in their trademark "box of delights" - and how can you go wrong with wagyu beef, with a little sushi set and miso soup on the side? Nice room, thoughtful service, good range of drinks. It's not cheap, but you wouldn't want it to be.

Great service and ambiance. Portions could be bigger, but overall a fancy place for a date.

Went for the afternoon tea and wanted to order matcha latte from the menu. When asking about alternative milk options we were told there is no alternative, I find that interesting given matcha is being serviced with three types of alternative milks at the downstairs matcha counter. Even if just one alternative would be served in the restaurant it would be ok but just dismissing the request saying none available I find odd in 2024. The food overall was nice, the service not as friendly as you would hope.

I have recently returned from Japan and was looking for that authentic flavour that I have experienced in Tokyo, so after much research I choose Akira restaurant. The restaurant is lovely, simple, with the kitchen in the middle just like in Japan! You get greeted in Japanese and some of the staff are native Japanese so you can practise a bit of Japanese with them . I choose the Wagyu beef ramen and small Bento box, my daughter choose the chicken Ramen. Aesthetically it looked amazing and the flavours were fabulous but it just didn't hit the spot. The presentation is perfect. As it was my daughters birthday they dressed up the dessert very nicely and even sang Happy Birthday to her. The gin coctails are absolutely amazing! Highly recommended them. One of the things we miss from Japan amongst a lot of other things is the toilets. And this restaurant has the Toto toilets!!! Made my day ❤️ Akira restaurant is worth a visit, it is slightly pricey but it is worth every penny. We will defiantely return Thanks for the wonderful staff who looked after us x

I would have said the experience was 5 stars. However, I was positioned at the counter to see the chefs do their stuff but due to the fact that a lot of crockery is piled up quite high, I could not see anything close to me. I am not a short person (183cm) and felt like it defeated the whole point of the counter area. Other than that, I though the experience was exceptional and the food was exceptional.

Hours of operation are too short Opening hours are too short closing at five. The wait staff was a little less attentive to guests calling out. But the food was good.
AKIRA RestaurantGereageerd op 19 november 2024
Dear Yaoyao, thank you for your valuable feedback. We are very sorry that you felt rushed . Please note, due to our internal operation needs of having to prepare, clean up and set up for the busy dinner service, we are unable to provide all day dining. Therefore, we would like to recommend earlier arrival if you wish to extend your seating time in the future. We are looking forward to welcome you back at Akira.

A regular to this restaurant but have noticed that sushi has gotten smaller, and some of the classic items on the menu have been swapped.

Everything is beautiful at Akira. The sashimi is a delight… the wagu is terrific and the toilets are sublime… if I could move in permanently I would x
