    Thanks to Gloria we had an amazing dinner gathering and celebrated one of our friend’s belated birthday. All of the recommended dishes by Gloria were amazing and realized what differentiates Akira Back from other bar/restaurant. You can taste and experience this much of quality food and service only at Akira Back and nowhere else. Love the visit and will definitely be coming back for the food, vibe and amazing Gloria!!

    Honestly, I had the best experience ever. Let me start up by the people who work there my waiter was sherry Please make sure you ask for her. She was the best well respected took her time. I felt like I got to know her within a few hours. I was there show me what’s good on the menu showed me what to try. But let me move on the food amazing. It’s literally melting in your mouth while I’m typing this. I think I need to go back the drink drinks amazing. Chef kiss I hope this restaurant succeeds because there’s really not a lot of restaurants to our dedicated. Who treat you with respect. Oh and I can’t forget one thing the bathroom clean it doesn’t even smell like a bathroom.

    Highly recommended. Excellent food. I recommend the tacos, the rock shrimp and the cigar for dessert but hard to pick to be honest. Worth going

    Service was sooo good. Food is everything and more. What you would expect but better. We went on the earlier side, so vibes were more casual but nonetheless would go back. Brought us a complementary birthday dessert. Such a pleasant experience from the moment we stepped! Cute date spot. :)
