    Amazing, as always a 10/10 experience. I’ve dined in at a lot of restaurants in Toronto but Akira will always be top 3 for me! Ambience and service is amazing. They value their patrons highly and I have no complaints every time I visit, also the food is always great. Recommend and will be returning x

    I don’t post reviews often, but the chef deserves a genuine compliment. The restaurant’s ambiance, experience, and food were all excellent unlike some of the reviews you may encounter. But here’s the most important part - despite the fact that the menu focuses on the fusion of cuisines, I encountered an authentic falvour of “home”, which is Korea for me. The chef is Korean who trained in Japan and aims to serve a unique Asian cuisine in the diverse and competitive market of Toronto. His maki roll “The Hot Mess” underneath its exquisitely savory and spicy sauce, I was met with the flavoured rice that took me right back to the elementary school days in Korea when I shared kimbab rolls with classmates on field trips. Thank you for a great experience and taking me on a trip back to my childhood!

    Food is ok, price is not bad, service is decent but odd, they look at your food and remove your plates immediately when u finish it and adjust your plates for you. The way they do it immediately makes me feel pushed to finish my food .

    It’s a Michelin star resto. Good food. Coat check was welcome. Elevator and staircases both modern and luxurious. Greeted with a welcome sip of Prosecco for my friend’s birthday which I thought was a great start to our evening. Service was a bit too intense. We were continually upsold for dishes despite being quite full from the edamame, two rolls and main dishes and dessert and tea we ordered. Also several times tried to take our dishes when we weren’t finished. Lovely customised birthday message on my friend’s dessert. Very pricey. Would be better if I wasn’t paying lol
