Hands down best sushi I've ever eaten outside of Japan! The sole fish melted in my mouth like butter and the uni "shot" absolutely blew my mind. Every bite I took just tasted better and better!The owner and staff were super friendly and I love the comfy atmosphere the smaller space offers. Definitely will be coming back with my family if I ever get the chance!

“Veggie roll” was all carrot… very disappointing. Miso soup had some extra vegetables in it which was a surprise but still good/ok. Tempura veggies also ok.Ordered ahead for takeout so can’t comment on the service or atmosphere.

Great tuna roll, but I found the restaurant to be a little stingy with the ginger and spicy sauce for having to pay for them. 75 cents for the tiniest thimble of sriracha, and 75 cents for the same amount of ginger you get elsewhere, and calling it extra.

We really enjoyed the assorted smoky, melt-in-your mouth Aburi Sushi platter featuring salmon oshi, hamachi, toro and so forth.A comforting item we liked is the Matsutake Real Crab Meat Congee which comes as a steaming pot of soup and ingredients which you cook at your table. Great way to warm up for those colder and rainier days of the season.The Albacore Tuna Tataki Mango Salsa was a tangy and refreshing starter.The Chicken Karaage Don Set Meal had a really delicious, juicy and meaty chicken pieces. It also came with tamago and Santa Claus Melon from Brazil.

I won an Instagram gift card for Akira so I got a chance to check them out.We got some sashimi and aburi and a lunch box. The food was pretty fresh and tasty.I’ve never had foie gras aburi before. I personally don’t enjoy foie gras but maybe others will. It was interesting to see it on a sushi restaurant menu.Also they do not serve alcohol.Thanks!
