Quality and reasonable price Japanese cuisine in town. I tried Saba on my 1st visit, the taste was unforgettable🤩 so tender and mouthwatering….love it! Chef is super friendly and passionate in pursuing real Japanese cooking details. Your tongue can tell. Last week tried sushi combo 🍣🍙😋which is Hokkaido style sushi. In fact, I love their Fresh Wasabi, very special and refreshing! The chef recommended me to try his Shokado set 🍱….to be updated.
Try their dessert cream brûlée was soooo smooth😱, and nice aroma especially eating with 🍓 strawberriey
This was one of the best experiences I've had at a restaurant. Everyone that worked there was very friendly, welcoming, and nice. And they did all that without bugging us too much. You can tell they take pride in their restaurant. They greet you with warm smiles and are attentive.
Then the food....it was wonderful. My new favorite sushi spot. The fish was fresh and served with style. And the spicy black cod appetizer was so good! Better than calamari any day but served in a similar way. We will be back again and thank the staff for such a great experience.
Excellent place to enjoy high level sushi-food and services wise. Beautiful interior area at the heart of San Francisco with lots of menu choices for each taste and fast response from service. I highly recommend. Although it wasn’t a cheap dining, I totally recommend this experience.
Lowkey place to eat good Japanese food. Good quality with fair portion. We had Pink Dragon rolls, Seared Salmon Belly roll and chicken teriyaki for main course and calamari, agedashi tofu and fried chicken for appetizers.They were all very good. I'd like to point it out that the agedashi tofu was specially good. I even ordered an extra one after my dinner. It comes with the perfect sauce and bonito flake on top, but for my surprise it also comes with Japanese eggplant tempura and green bean tempura on the plate. Great combination and presentation. The service is really cordial and friendly. Really happy with this experience!
I went to this restaurant without much expectations and it was amazing! The staff was extremely friendly and gave us amazing recommendations, the food was delicious and very well presented. The servings were also very good and the quality of the products as well. So happy I discovered this place.
A nice Japanese restaurant. The best thing about it is the service. The atmosphere is nice and calm. Rolls were good, not very big for the price though. Soups are ok. I recommend.
I only had 30 mins before leaving for me flight and the staff was so helpful serving food really quickly!
Super tasty too!
I’m definitely coming back!
Really fast and delicious. I ordered the Chirashi bowl and it came with a salad and miso soup. The fish seem to be on a rotating schedule because the sushi chef told me they were the ones posted on the wall! There were some standards like salmon, but also a few I couldn’t recognize! I’d definitely return.
The food was wonderful and they even made the kaiseki menu available to us at lunchtime! Came here with my family and two friends (party of 5). There were lots of options on the menu that were kid friendly. The service was excellent and the food was absolutely delicious. Generous cuts of high quality fish. It was a cozy atmosphere but didn't feel crowded which was very nice.
I promise you, you will never get better service from any restaurant then you will at Akira. Our server was so welcoming, friendly and gave us so many on the house items. We ordered sake which was so fun, and rolls were amazing. We had such an amazing time. Dog friendly too which is always a very added bonus for me. You should definitely go if you are craving yummy sushi :)
