" Had high hopes for Akira but it fell short in authenticity. While some dishes were decent, others felt very Americanized in flavor profile. Service was decent, though not memorable. The lively atmosphere contributed positively, but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. Not entirely sure if I would return with so many other sushi spots around. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Akira Seabright was a bit disappointing. Initially drawn in by the great reviews, we found the sushi to be subpar. It lacked the authentic flavor we were hoping for, and we felt the portions for the price were not sufficient. The atmosphere was lively, but the service wasn't the best – it took a while for someone to attend to us. Not sure if we'd return again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Akira has a cozy vibe that feels welcoming. I had the bento box for lunch, and while the miso soup was satisfactory, the main dish was a bit underwhelming compared to the rest of the menu. I appreciated the vegan sushi options they offered, but I feel like it needs a bit more attention to detail. Nonetheless, I will revisit to see if they have improved their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my favorite sushi spot in Santa Cruz! Every time I've been, I leave with such a positive experience. They have a creative roll menu, offering many unique options that suit everyone’s taste. The ambiance is super cute and inviting too! Each visit has been reliable in quality and service. I can't wait to go back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've always loved sushi and Akira is no exception! The ambiance is refreshing, great to unwind after a long day. The sushi rolls are creative and the service was friendly. I had a great time and will definitely plan to visit again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Akira for dinner after hearing about their vegetarian options. It was a delightful experience! The veggie rolls were creatively made and tasted amazing. The atmosphere felt vibrant and energetic, although a bit noisy. Service was fast, though our server seemed overwhelmed at times. I would definitely return, especially for the happy hour specials! " (*Curated Review*)

" Akira Seabright is a bit of a mixed bag. The service was friendly, but the rolls I had were a bit bland and lacked inspiration. The atmosphere was cozy, which made it nice post-beach. I think they offer good vegan options, so I may give them another chance to see if I can sample their creative rolls. " (*Curated Review*)
