Akira Japanese Restaurant

We are happy to have stopped in. Yelp wins again. Saw it had a high rating and had to go check it out.
They have the convenient option to make reservations on Yelp and we were able to walk right in and they sat us.
The staff was pleasant and helpful.
We were quite undecided and there were so many yummy options. We gave the server 3 options and let him make the choice for us- it was fun & he was a great sport!
ALL the sushi, miso, appetizers, and bento boxes we got were delicious.
The place was cute and cozy. Great music on in the background. I definitely recommend checking them out.

Super reasonably priced happy hour specials. Incredibly fresh fish. Nothing I would change about this establishment. Shout out to our server Alex who absolutely crushed it. Watched him wait on 7+ tables comprised of 15 people by himself…. And had top shelf game the entire time. Cheers!

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.

Kid-friendliness: They were great with our preteen kids
