About Akira Seabright

Akira Seabright is a restaurant known for its unique and generously sized sushi rolls. The tsunami roll remains a popular choice among customers. The restaurant can get busy, so it is recommended to sit at the counter for immediate service or expect a wait time of up to an hour. Fresh fish and quality portions are always guaranteed. Located in Seabright, next to Santa Cruz, it is a favorite spot for locals looking for sushi, nigiri, or sashimi. The food is delicious and tastes fresh, with standout dishes like the Kult Classic and the Bacon of the Sea roll. The dragon scales are also noted for their unique flavor combination. The staff is helpful, attentive, and laid back, making for a great experience, even when handling large groups. While service can be slow, it is friendly and the atmosphere is enjoyable, enhanced by cool art on the walls. A wider white wine selection would be a nice addition for those not in the mood for sake. Overall, the place offers fun and friendly service, and every roll is over the top, especially if one enjoys Asian fusion with a strong sushi and sashimi component.

We stopped in on October 11 during happy hour. Being from Michigan, we did not know what to expect. Our daughter, now an Aptos resident, said this was her favorite place for sushi. We could see why! The flavors and variety of items were excellent. Best of all was our server Isabell. She was great; friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Great food, great service. Thank you.

I LOVE Akira’s “The Kind” and “Magic Carpet”. 😻 Since coming here for dinner a couple months ago for date night with my husband, I have come back 3x to get those two items to-go 😹 The spicy miso sesame aioli sauce is INCREDIBLE. Tonight I found out that you can purchase a bottle of this EPIC made in-house sauce. 🤤 🙌

I wanted to give a special mention here to Katie who took my order over the phone and checked...read full review

Been to the Aptos location before....first time here at the Seabright location. Food is excellent here also but the service was really slow and never came back check on us...older small Asian women. They had just opened too, not like it was packed yet...no excuses. Oh well, will stick to other Aptos location better.
