akiba

a definite must go!. fabulous service, fantastic food and great atmosphere! what more could you want? oh and all at a great price.

the service
service was nice and quick. a casual setting and casual staff to go with it - not pretentious and there to look after you and let you know what's what in the land of asian fusion.

the food
the pork and soft shell crab baos are to die for!! along with their enticing cocktailmenu- i tried a few and let me tell you they are out of this world (so smooth it'll keep you coming back for more)!

the atmosphere
if you're like me, atmosphere and similar people hanging out at the place means it's bound to be good! the mood was casual chic and the people friendly. whether you're out for a nice dinner or a drink and dance, akiba has it all.

you will not regret going here. the harrington brothers have done it again and i love it.

let down. service was good nice and friendly however running out of 2 types of beers was a sign i was not going to enjoy my meal on top of that they ran out of kingfish as well which was a big suprise seeing as themenuhas like 20 items to chose from.
you would have thought they would have been stocked up with everything for 12:30 busy lunch time period.

also price were pretty expensive for you get

not worth hype or price. so noisy (crap music) table of 6 couldn't have a conversation.
tiny portions at high prices $5 for half a potato skin. nothing substantial (rice, noodles) to fill you up in an attempt to keep you ordering little meat dishes at $20 a hit.
claimed on net they could do vego and gf (allergy).menuhad 1-2 dishes each that didn't have an inappropriate ingredient (fish in the vego dish's butter) and didn't require substantial modification
made mistakes with our order.
lots of work and a 25% price reduction required to make this worthwhile.

akiba - the best in canberra!. the service here is fabulous, mike and the guys are personable, fun and know theirmenuinside out. the best food in canberra and cocktail list that goes on for miles. our new favorite place for any night of the week!
