The food was delightful! We’re from New York, but everything here tasted fresher, better, and more refined. We had the Crab salad, Beef tataki salad, Deluxe chirashi, Cream croquette, Agedashi eggplant, and Udon for kiddo. Everything was excellent. Don’t forget to get gelato for dessert!

Food options and quality here is great. Good variety to choose from if not everyone in your party wants to eat sushi. Only two issues, the first being the menu is printed over several sheets. Need to consolidate so don’t spend a lot of time looking at each. They also don’t give each person a menu but just leave all the menus on the table for people to share. This makes it difficult to pass around. Second issue is that waitress does not give a lot of time to look over menu before coming over to start to take orders, serving staff also cannot remember where each item goes to on the table. Work on the small issues and everything would be perfect.

WOW!!! So impressed by this restaurant!!
My bf went on a fishing charter (with jigging honolulu, also highly recommend) & the captain recommended this place for cooking his catch!
Fish was a snapper and was prepared 7 ways (pictured is 6) — carpaccio, tataki, sashimi, caviar roll w/ fried fish, grilled collarbone, nigiri, agedashi tofu w/ fish. It’s $20 to prepare + price per dish, but our total was soooo sooo sooo reasonable i was shocked when the bill came out.
Also, the service was phenomenal. Not sure who our server was, but everyone there is so attentive. Don’t know when I’ll be back in Oahu, but I will absolutely revisit when I do & recommended to all my friends :)
Thank you Akira team!!

I found Hamachi kama tucked away at the bottom of the menu. It is the collar bone, lots of work to eat, not pretty to look at but packed with flavor. This is what Italians call "cucina povera" the peasant food of the poor people. The set menu came with a small salad, pickled vegetables and udon. Each tiny dish was prepared with care, presented with grace. The dashi for the udon did not cut any corners as is all too common nowadays. It was delicious.

Wow, this place reminds me of eating in Japan. The food is delicious, a small whole in the wall and by dinner time it’s a full house but the food is really delicious. ? The services was excellent as well.
Wheelchair accessibility: My dad came in with a walker and was able to come in through the back entry, we were very happy they could accommodate us with no problem.

Valet parking available entering from the back side by daiso store, just 2 buildings away. I believe it was like $2,$3 for 3 hours with akira validation. Food and service are good.
Very authentic Japanese dishes. Super fresh seafood. Excellent service as well.

Delicious food. We got chirashi bowl, sushi, agedashi tofu, udon, tempura and vegetables roll. Everything was prepared nicely. My personal favorite is the chirashi and agedashi tofu. Service was quick. Ice cream was fresh too. They take cash and cards for payment. Happy hour menu was amazing.
Parking: Street parking right in front of the restaurant is only for outside rush hour. But there are plenty of parking spaces nearby.
