" I can't recommend Akira enough! The service was impeccable, and the sushi was made fresh to order. The variety of rolls is impressive, and the quality is outstanding. I love the atmosphere, it’s upscale yet cozy at the same time. This is hands down my new favorite sushi spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dinner at Akira was an experience worth writing about! From the moment we walked in, the staff were welcoming. We tried several rolls, and I can say without a doubt that the crab roll was my favorite! The freshness and quality of the fish stood out, and it was punctuated by attentive service. A fantastic evening altogether. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had just average sushi here. While the ambiance is nice, the sushi didn’t live up to the hype. I had a salmon roll, and it was good but nothing I couldn't find elsewhere for less. Plus, the portion sizes were smaller than expected. Don’t think I'll be making a second trip. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was outstanding, and the staff were so welcoming and friendly! I ordered a tempura udon which was delicious and accompanied by fresh crispy vegetables. It was slightly pricier than I anticipated, but I'd say it was worth it for the quality of the food and service. I would love to return and explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Akira was quite remarkable! The attention to detail in the presentation of the dishes was outstanding. I especially enjoyed the seasonal fish sashimi. You could really taste the quality! The staff were some of the friendliest I've encountered, making the entire experience enjoyable.
