Akira Japanese Restaurant

Absolutely phenomenal restaurant. Went on a whim, and we found such a great vibe with wood, and thoughtfully designed interior. The food was so delicately made, various options that are hard to find as well as classics all placed on an attractive menu book! LOVED the experience and would rank this spot #1 in the area, easily.

Delicious sushi! Definitely worth the price, my favorite was the crunch tuna roll.

Excellent food - amazingly fresh! Staff were very fast, friendly and welcoming.
A hole in the wall, not a big restaurant, but the atmosphere was great - perfect for couples looking for high quality sushi!

Great and delicious food

We ordered takeout for three, staff was awesome, super kind, immaculate food and packaging, I LOVED the beef udon-smoky deep broth and perfect noodles. Sushi was great. Price was totally reasonable. 10/10 will return.

This restaurant is wonderful and open for lunch and dinner. The food is excellent, the service is warm and it's a lovely environment. I go every week and order the salmon teriyaki, salad, miso soup, rice – lunch plate. Check out this great photo!

Really great meal, wonderful service, traditional Japanese offerings with a wide range of options, fresh and tasty.

My favorite sushi in the area! Great rolls, sashimi, and high-quality fish at pretty reasonable prices. Also love the chirashi Don.

They offer Omakase as well. Always love the service. The space is cozy and intimate, and it’s not uncommon to see a line waiting outside the door.

They have daily fish specials that vary depending on what they flew in from Japan!

This is the must go to Japanese restaurant in the bay area. Would recommend seating at the bar if you don't have the reservation and watch the chef prepare his specials. The wasabi is made fresh ground in house and it's just delightful. Everything is fresh but I highly recommend nigiri and the Adagashe tofu. The nigiri was great. The peacock roll was okay.

Place amazing server amazing!!! Everything is perfect! The server is awersoome!!! From

Came here after concert in the neighborhood and were able to get a late last minute table reservation online. Sushi is fresh and the rolls have creative twists. Really enjoyed the Akira Cucumber roll and Black Spider roll. Tempura Udon was piping hot and crisp fresh veggies. Sake, Hamachi and Saba very fresh nigiri. The chef and staff are very attentive and friendly. Really happy we were able to eat here and will definitely return..

I had chicken teriyaki which was fried chicken with teriyaki sauce on top. Probably the worst teriyaki chicken I ever had.

It was a wonderful experience. Great Sake. The sushi chief was very nice and impressive. The price is well worth the quality of food. It is in a great location in Japan town. There is parking in the back alley.
