akira sushi hibachi

i wouldn’t recommend thisplaceto anyone! thisplaceis very unsanitary. there was gum under the plate they leave for you to eat on. my friend’s plate was dirty. when i mentioned this to manager he treated us very poorly and accused us of planting the gum. he said he speaks to customers how ever he wants too. the manager was very unprofessional and racist. i work very hard for my money and when i go out to eat i expect to be treated with respect. this is the worstplacei have ever been to!!! i will never return!

update. new owners. i haven’t had a chance to try the new menu yet, but....the fact that they have “all you can eat” sushi tells me that this is not theplacefor good sushi. leaving my original review in place, but no plan to return. sad.


if you want some of the best sushi available, served by the friendliest staff in town, head to akira. i've never had a meal here that wasn't perfect. just take a look at the pictures- that will tell you everything you need to know. fresh and innovative. great hibachi as well.

bad bad bad service. they bring out our appetizers but didn't even give us plates. didn't see anyone fifteen minute later! you have to ask for everything! fancyplacebut bad service

very reasonably priced food, hi-end decor. my family and i went to akira for a hibachi lunch on sunday for my birthday. we had chef kenny (he insisted we call him "sexy kenny") and he was great! the lunch hibachi was surprisingly cheap (for hibachi), and, of course, was delicious. we also ordered crab rangoon and the vegetable spring rolls for appetizers, and they were fresh and tasty. even though it was the lunch portion, i still couldn't finish all my food and had leftovers for the next day. i will definitely be returning to try their sushi. the decor is bright and very lush, similar to a fancy french style. the hibachi tables are curved and don't have the giant vent overhead like other places. it makes for a very hi-end, open restaurant. greatplaceto go to celebrate.

phenomenal! best hibachi i've ever had hands down.. my boyfriend and i were looking for aplaceto eat one night. we got to akira at 9:50,,,they close at 10:00. they happily accepted us and put on the whole hibachi show just for us. we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. and the food...let me tell you! i'm not a hibachi fan, the rice is usually too salty, the veggies are not that great, i don't eat steak or chicken, so it's not an ideal eatery for me. i ordered the salmon, and my boyfriend got the filet mignon and shrimp. it was the best shrimp i've had, the fried rice (which the waitress recommended, thankfully) was phenomenal, my salmon was perfect and my guys steak melted in his mouth. do yourself a favor, and check thisplaceout. i've been to several hibachi restaurants, because the kids love the show, and every time i moan and whine(inwardly) about it. it has been 5 days since we went and we are bringing our boy there tonight. the service was excellent and the food was the best. so happy they took us in at 10 mins to close and treated us like stars! ozzie, the chef, was great!

awesome! funplacefor hibachi. 5/5. greatplacefor the family. we went saturday for lunch, and the hibachi grill was perfect. entertained the whole family, and the flavors were popping! amazing sirloin and shrimp. they had this mango puree infused sauce that was definitely a masterpiece.

hibachi party. can't believe how great thisplaceis - walking in and seeing the unearthly decor (and beautiful, extravagant fishtank), not to mention the fresh, modern japanese cuisine, i'd expect much higher prices! in reality, thisplaceis quite a bargain, and the new hibachi chef is hilarious and great. not too salty (which is pretty rare), just tasty! i highly recommend the scallops, and the japanese tea (toasty authentic flavor).

as good as it gets!. classy decor and comfortable ambiance, delicious japanese food, friendly fast service, and reasonable pricing make this new restaurant a winner.

terrible service. arrived an hour before closing on a saturday night. there was a couple at the bar picking up a to-go order, other than that, theplacewas empty. our server gave us the wrong drinks and the wrong sushi. he kept his attention on a football game. when we called him over and asked for a drink refill, he still got the drinks wrong. the sushi rolls were poorly made and fell apart when picking up with chopsticks. we resorted to using our fingers. i would not eat here again. try kanno sushi or sushi village instead if you're in fat city.
