Akira Ramen & Izakaya

Where to start. Was greeted by a dark haired girl that acted like she was annoyed we came in and she had to work instead of watch stuff on her laptop with her cat ear headphones. Maintained this attitude the entire time. Took our order but never submitted it to the kitchen and deleted it. Never checked on us for a hour. Gave us a can of soda that smelled like bug spray. Ordered tea, gave us juice. Fortunately her coworker stepped up and somewhat saved the experience. They were a joy and gave excellent prompt service after the first girl.
The food was ok. As others stated the sushi is mainly rice, and the ramen is mainly broth. The poke bowls are huge though, but bland and unseasoned. The curry isn’t curry either it’s a weird sweet and sour sauce.

The service was great- prompt and polite

It was our first time visiting and we did the all you can eat deal offered. The gyoza appetizer was good and the ramen bowl was decent. The sushi was low quality mostly rice and filler not much seafood, no flavor. The fried oysters were the worse thing I’ve ever eaten. The poke bowl was 75% rice and the other 25% was flavorless as well. Unfortunately if you can’t finish at least 50% of each dish ordered you have to pay full price for it regardless if it tastes awful. Won’t be returning.

Went in on 90 degree day. The air was off and the location was being managed by fans. There was an unpleasant old smell in the restaurant. The server had zero to offer. When asking about recommendations he mumbled exactly what was written on the menu. I had to ask him to repeat many times because he continued to mumble. We had seek out a glass and ice, a straw, soy sauce and silverware. Our food came out at different times. I was more than half finished before my husband got his.

The food was okay. The price was decent. I hope they get better with time.

I was excited to try ramen and ordered carry out 6/17/25. The menu doesn’t offer descriptions so be prepared to google “Akira, Shoyu, TanTan, etc…) I built my own, with 2 proteins for $18 ($1.50 extra for boiled egg.) Pictured: skinny noodle, tantan flavor, pan fried chicken, deep fried chicken, seaweed, bamboo shoots, wood ear, edamame and chrispy onion.
My order, along with some sushi was ready in 15 minutes. When I took my first bite, I was disappointed that it was cool, not hot. It was a colorful meal with a lot of texture. The TanTan is a slightly creamy broth, containing sesame, and chilis.
My only suggestion would be using freshly cooked chicken for each order. The chicken in my bowl was rubbery on the outside dry on the inside with and an off-putting, unpleasant taste. The chicken didn’t taste like chicken.
To be fair, this is the only dish I tried.

Wow that was fantastic ramen! We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and how delicious everything looked. This was our first time going and we decided to try the ramen. There was a build your own section which was greatly appreciated because I have a Shellfish allergy. The only weird thing was the TVs had like people from Japan just eating or cooking. It was very odd.... but other then that it was fantastic. We will be going back to try more things!

Excellent food and service! The robot delivering food was really cool!

Ordered the beef and rice, each slice of beef was 70% fat , these are pictures to prove it because the attitude I got from the big waiter was ridiculous as we are both staring at this plate of fat. She told me “this is how it comes” I feel like I got robbed. I was expecting beef . Felt like cheap version of steakums.

The food was terrible with the taste of old greasy and the fried chicken color is very weird like purple color. The smell of ramen noodles soups was bad. The squid legs was raw and greasy. We did not enjoy it and never come back.

One of the worst dining experiences we had in a long time. Not sure how this place is so highly rated. Will never go back and won’t be surprised if the restaurant closes for good soon.

Great all around experience. Our second visit in as many years (we are not local to Westminster). When in Westminster this is our pick for Japanese or Ramen, specifically. The ramen has flavorful broths and great noodles, and plenty of toppings. Gwnerally, everything is quite good, however the Chashu buns drift toward the flavorless end of the spectrum... perhaps the pieces of pork belly are two thin to contribute any meaningful flavor. Otherwise everything is really good, sushi too. They have build your own Ramen and Poke bowls. They might want to mention that poke bowls fish proteins are raw... would have saved my wife some embarrassment - or if I had paid attention while she ordered... oh and there is a robot. Kids and men love robots!
