   The service was outstanding, with a great level of attention and the team was in sync, prepared, and always ready despite of being busy. Absolutely amazing, what a team! I will most certainly be back! Congratulations to the chef and team as they have our together a magnificent menu, evocative of Japan’s best restaurants in downtown Tokyo

   Akira are good at what they do. Order from the set menu and you'll not be disappointed - pitch perfect sashimi in their trademark "box of delights" - and how can you go wrong with wagyu beef, with a little sushi set and miso soup on the side? Nice room, thoughtful service, good range of drinks. It's not cheap, but you wouldn't want it to be.

   Great service and ambiance. Portions could be bigger, but overall a fancy place for a date.

   Went for the afternoon tea and wanted to order matcha latte from the menu. When asking about alternative milk options we were told there is no alternative, I find that interesting given matcha is being serviced with three types of alternative milks at the downstairs matcha counter. Even if just one alternative would be served in the restaurant it would be ok but just dismissing the request saying none available I find odd in 2024. The food overall was nice, the service not as friendly as you would hope.

   Hours of operation are too short Opening hours are too short closing at five. The wait staff was a little less attentive to guests calling out. But the food was good.

   Dear Yaoyao, thank you for your valuable feedback. We are very sorry that you felt rushed . Please note, due to our internal operation needs of having to prepare, clean up and set up for the busy dinner service, we are unable to provide all day dining. Therefore, we would like to recommend earlier arrival if you wish to extend your seating time in the future. We are looking forward to welcome you back at Akira.

   A regular to this restaurant but have noticed that sushi has gotten smaller, and some of the classic items on the menu have been swapped.

   Food use to be alot better than this. We normally go for a special occasion as we think the food is absolutely amazing. But today was different. Potato salad missing alot of other ingredients that they use to make. The grill are no longer served in a big hot stone. The mushrooms which is our favourite does not taste the same anymore as it not serve sizzling hot. Food taste good but wont be going back anymore.
