Akira Japanese Restaurant, located in the lower Pac Heights area, offers delicious Japanese cuisine with excellent quality and presentation. Guests frequently praise the fresh sashimi and Shokado Bento, as well as the bluefin tuna otoro and spicy tuna roll. The restaurant features a cozy atmosphere with a thoughtfully designed interior, making it a great spot for dining. Despite the small seating area, the good price/quality ratio and top-notch service contribute to a worthwhile experience. Specializing in chirashi and karaage, Akira ensures a satisfying meal with fresh fish, salad, and miso soup.
Visitors have highlighted the excellent sushi rolls, including favorites like the seared salmon and Spider roll, as well as the spicy mango roll and cherry blossom roll. While the sushi pieces are noted to be smaller for some rolls, the nigiri, such as the scallop nigiri, is considered super fresh. Although not the cheapest option, the quality food and attentive staff make it a recommended dining spot for Japanese food enthusiasts. Some customers expressed disappointment over charges for extra ginger, a usually complimentary item. Overall, Akira remains a favored choice in the area for those seeking a great dining experience.
