Weird experience here. My gf and I were ordering from Tom Sushi and using their website, we placed the order and upon arriving realized the order was placed at Akira Sushi. Very strange since neither of us heard or even viewed Akira Sushi/ their website. Both restaurants use a website host called “Code Fusion” to handle the online ordering. Either there was a glitch in the system or our order was rerouted to Akira. Regardless the sushi at Akira was really good apart from some bones in our salmon sashimi. But we were definitely very confused with what happened in the ordering process.

This has become our favourite local sushi place. But we ordered through Uber Eats and our sushi, which was primarily avocado and vegetable rolls came with the most over ripe avocado. We tried to scratch away some of the black but it ran so deep. Really disappointed in the quality.

The sushi here was tasty, but the tempura was greasy. Sometimes that indicates that the fryer isn't hot enough. Our server was gracious and took good care of us. Ambiance was casual with some fun murals on the wall. I would return to try other sushi items on the menu.

Their party platters / normal combos are pretty good. Little to much tuna, but otherwise good. Best sushi in that area.

Most affordable sushi prices 🤑 BBQ BC Roll was a tasty surprise. Sockeye Salmon Maki was fresh. Tuna Maki had no flavour. Overall, decent sushi.

Absolutely delectable food, amazing portions, stunning interior design, and even nicer staff. I was blown away by the sheer perfection of both the environment and product. Everything from the taste to the plating to the aesthetics to the music to the cutlerly were all phenomenal. They've earned an avid customer. I will be coming back again!!!

Akira Sushi: Unparalleled Service and Exquisite Sushi
As an avid sushi enthusiast, I have had the pleasure of dining at countless sushi restaurants, but none have surpassed the exceptional service and exquisite cuisine I experienced at Akira Sushi on Denman Street.
Impeccable Service
From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with warm smiles and impeccable hospitality. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure my dining experience was unforgettable.
My server, Emily, was particularly outstanding. She was incredibly friendly and efficient, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring that my every need was met. She even surprised me with a complimentary appetizer, which was a delightful and unexpected touch.
Exquisite Sushi
The sushi itself was a work of art. Each piece was meticulously crafted with the freshest ingredients and presented with precision. The fish was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the rice was perfectly seasoned.
I highly recommend the omakase tasting menu, which allows you to sample a variety of the chef's finest creations. The uni was particularly exceptional, with a rich and creamy texture that burst with flavor in my mouth.
Cozy and Inviting Atmosphere
The atmosphere at Akira Sushi is both cozy and inviting. The restaurant is decorated in a modern Japanese style, with warm lighting and comfortable seating. It's the perfect place to enjoy a romantic dinner or a special occasion with friends.
Overall Impression
Overall, Akira Sushi is an absolute gem. The service is unparalleled, the sushi is exquisite, and the atmosphere is perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable sushi experience.
Lovely little place. Good fast service with hot tea and water promptly at the table. Good sushi for a reasonable price.

Unfortunately very mediocre. Rolls were inconsistent sizes and falling apart. The sashimi salad had a crazy amount of mustard seeds and tasted overwhelmingly of horseradish. Won’t be coming back when there’s so many other options on Denman.
