I’m a bit disappointed as this was my first time ordering from Akira. I decided to branch out from my usual go-to sushi restaurants and try somewhere new, and this place had good reviews.It took over an hour to get my food but it could have been a busy night so that’s ok. But, the miso soup was literally all broth, not even a single piece of tofu. I ordered four kinds of nigiri, the maguro and ebi were decent but the salmon wasn’t great - and in all cases, there was a ton of rice but I’ve seen more generous portions of fish elsewhere. As for the tempura, the batter was extremely thick and again, more batter than shrimp, and the variety of veggies was kind of lacking - basically just sweet potato and onion. The rainbow dynamite roll was not my favourite. Normally, rainbow rolls are one of my favourites in terms of maki - but on top was mostly avocado and not much fish, and it was not indicated that they would be slathered in a kind of sweet sauce - I think that should be mentioned even on UberEats. I wasn’t a fan of the sauce. I generally don’t like mayo based sauces on sushi anyway, but the sweetness was a bit misplaced.I’ve seen some reviews say it’s hit or miss, so maybe I caught them on an off night. But I’ll likely just stick to the other two places i typically order from.

I'll admit that I'm not a fan of raw fish or anything of the sort, but the chicken teriyaki dish was fantastic. The whole assortment of main course, salad and sides was really tasty and presented very nicely. Service was also great, and the wait was pretty reasonable!

The restaurant was not busy at the time we visited, around 3pm. The food was fresh... prepared and presented by an artisan. First time we have visited here, we will be definitely returning. A diamond in the rough! Fantastic.
Best sushi place in Kingston! Takeout and dine in. So good. Can’t say it enough.

This sushi restaurant is the best Sushi restaurant in Kingston. The chef knows how to create the best rolls and perfectly made sushi. It’s a humble family restaurant with true authentic Japanese cuisine.
Thenoutsidenof this place is not appealing, but once you go in the restaurant is beautiful with a great atmosphere. Food is fantastic and generous in portion size. My favorite place to eat in Kingston.

I live close to here so I go in quite often. The salmon sashimi & salmon hand roll are my favourites. The slices of fish are thick and taste amazing. I highly recommend any sushi lover check this place out!
things are not fresh, and the waitress charge us extra $100 on the bill, end up $260 for 2 person.lucky we checked the bill. After that they added tips on the bill and cliam that is tax. which they doubled the tax, and claimimg the numbers are without tips. we questioned more then 3 times of this problem they finally put the right amount on the machine. Be very careful for the bill, they are doing it on purpose. we are not local, looks like a one time customer thats why they are doing this. $260 for 2 person LOL

Outstanding value in a local sushi place! Lunch specials were well priced, came to the table quickly, and were amply sized! Excellent sushi and sashimi, and the rolls were executed very well, too!

I like to go here for lunch during my break. They always serve me with a smile and quickly. I’m never worried about being late returning to work as the service is always quick. Lunch is very affordable. $16-21 for the bento lunches which comes with miso soup, salad, 2 spring rolls, and an orange.Dinning room is dark as they always keep their blinds drawn closed for some reason. I’d personally prefer more natural light.I had the spicy salmon and spicy tuna bento lunch special and was very full and satisfied.Parking: Parking lot is small and has a lot of potholes. Parking lot is shared with about 4-5 neighboring stores so parking can be limited
