Akira Ramen & Izakaya

Our go-to for sushi rolls (we love the King Dragon Roll) and the best gyoza in town, perfectly cooked and deliciously flavored. It's a nice place to eat in but also travels very well. If you order online for pickup, you earn points towards future meals.

Arguably the best ramen I’ve ever had. Only here for a few days but trying to convince my husband we need to go back. Service was phenomenal, food was fantastic. 10/10 experience

The food is not as it seems. The ramen we ordered had no flavor at all and they refused to switch it out or take it back. When I told the waiter that I didn’t like my food she told me “well that’s what you ordered” ??? It was the last hour until close and I feel like they just gave us whatever they had left —didn’t even wanna take our order. Even chain ramen like Jinya is 10x. Better than this ramen. They could care less that I didn’t like my food. My waiter just continued cleaning up. For me to get a very spicy ramen and for it to literally taste like water is actually insane. Noodles were to floury overall 0/10. If you like ramen do not come here.

The food was great but our order came out wrong and took a while to get. It seemed like it could have just been an off night though.

The ramen and okonomiyaki were good, but I think the okonomiyaki needs more sauce (teriyaki and mayo).

We had an amazing dinner with friends! The food was delicious, and the size of portions was good enough to feel full. Servants were very nice.

Highly recommend this place.

Incredible foods. Premium price point matched by equally premium dishes.

Great food

This place was such a pleasant surprise. We decided to play hooky and going on a midday date. My husband was suffering with some allergy issues and this was quite the remedy. We ordered the calamari (can’t remember the name on the menu but it’s fried squid), king dragon roll, spicy seafood ramen, and the fried chicken ramen. Everything was more than delicious! The calamari had a delicious, what I assume was, red pepper aioli sauce which was packed with flavor. The squid was fried to perfection and nice and hot! The sushi had SO much flavor I couldn’t believe it. Definitely one of the best dragon rolls I’ve ever had and the ramen was Sooogood! The Broth was amazing the noodles were very fresh and the seafood was just what I needed. I can’t wait to go back!

Best Ramen in MoCo that I can find. Sometimes I drive the 30min each way just to get it.

Parking: Park underground and ride the elevator up to the street.

there is a head waitress here who is just very rude to his associates in training through out eating my meal I heard him yelling at this person demanding him to clean & then yelling at him because he wasn’t doing it correctly. It made me very upset to see someone lack so much patience and be so hostile to an associate who was trying his best and asking questions on how to do things correctly. He was also snapping his fingers at this associate demanding him to do things, to the rude waitress reading this you lack patience and respect for people. Not only was he rude, he also didn’t even bring out my soda in time and again lol yelled at the other associate to bring it out when it was literally his table. I am just disgusted with this behavior and honestly made me lose my appetite I couldn’t even finish my soup. The food overall is okay the ramen isn’t the best it’s 30% broth and 70% noodles. The broth also seems water down too. I probably won’t come here again because I can’t support a restaurant who treats people this way.

The owner responded to my review I would like to assure anybody reading this was not okay. The waitress was very rude and hostile and lacked patience. You do not treat people that way. I also don’t know what friend demands you around and snaps there fingers at you. This response is completely lies. Please do better and hire people who have patience in training others.

This is the first time I tried Akira Ramen in Rockville. I spend a lot of my time trying ramen in the DMV since moving back from Japan and I’d say Akira is definitely up there in the list! We started with karaage and the two sauces they gave us went really well with the chicken. We ordered the Akira ramen and the Akira Volcano and they were both so tasty. They have other dishes beside ramen which were really tempting and I am looking forward to come back and try them.
