Modern decor is pleasant and creates a warm and friendly atmosphere. All staff are friendly and helpful.<br/ <br/ COST There is a banquet to accommodate for each reasonable budget. The $80 banquet is definitely worth its money. <br/ <br/ ONLY COMPLAINT They took deep fried icecream off the menu!!!

Great Birthday. We went to Akira for the third time tonight it 's been great every time and the service was always very friendly. I am gluten intolerant and every time they have been really helpful and catered to my needs. We took a cake along for my partner 's birthday and they were fantastic not only did they light the candles and bring the cake out on cue, they provided a 'samurai ' sword with which to cut it. I was pretty amazed that they took a photo, and delivered it to our table *framed* a couple of minutes later. Nice gesture. Good food, nice atmosphere and quick cleanup considering there were some patrons with pretty terrible reflexes. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

We have been here twice. First time for Valentines Day and the second with family. Both times it was a lot of fun. Great for something different than your normal dinner. The floor is a bit oily and one for the staff members looks like they need a career change but for the most part it's yummy and fun.

When I hear the word 'teppanyaki ', what comes immediately to my mind is sitting around a small BBQ or grill, holding a bowl in my hand and attempting to catch the bits of egg being thrown to me by the chef. Then afterwards I would sit in fascination, watching as the chef cooks my meal in front of my eyes, and I eventually get to savour the dish as it comes off straight from the grill. I finally had my first experience at a Teppanyaki restaurant, and though my experience was not exactly having egg being thrown at me (actually, I did get one piece of egg thrown at me, in which I had to catch in my mouth), a Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant is a place all 'foodies ', dessert or savoury, need to experience at least once in their life. So here I share mine. As you walk into the restaurant, there are about four different areas set up. Two areas, in the centre and on the right side are set up for the Teppanyaki, grills in the middle, surrounded by seating to overlook the cooking for the dining e
