    Akira Back in Toronto is an absolute gem. The sushi was exquisite and the dishes scrumptious—every bite bursting with freshness and perfectly balanced flavors. The atmosphere exudes luxury, and the attention to detail in both the food and service is unparalleled. If you’re seeking a truly elevated dining experience, this is the place to go.

    From the moment we arrived to the last bite of dessert, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. As an Italian, I can tell you that we eat with our eyes first & this restaurant certainly didn’t disappoint. From the plating to the flavors, every detail was thoughtfully crafted. Our server, Kate, truly elevated the entire evening. She was not only polite but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offering insights that made us feel comfortable and confident in our food selections. The ambiance was just right, enough energy in the room to create a lively atmosphere but quiet enough for meaningful conversation. We felt like we could relax and truly enjoy the evening without distractions. It was a memorable night, shared with someone special, at one of Toronto’s finest dining spots. The entire experience, from start to finish, was exactly what we hoped for and more. Highly recommend!

    Whether it was the decoration, the friendliness of the waiters and waitresses, their advice on the choice of dishes and the quality of the cuisine, our culinary experience was perfect. Special mention for the Nazo 9 - Chef’s Signature Mystery Box, as well as the starter named pizza which will have had the merit of being a very nice surprise for the taste buds.
