Although they weren't offering Hibachi in the dining area during our visit, we still had a great experience. The waitstaff was extremely friendly. I definitely plan to return to sample the impressive variety of sushi that we saw being prepared fresh.

The server was very courteous and did a great job answering any questions I had. I ordered a chicken katsu bento box and gyoza. First we were given miso soup which had tons of flavor and was a perfect portion. Next the gyoza came out and they were they were definitely fresh and filled with flavor. Our bento boxes finally arrived and we were impressed by the presentation as we have had bento boxes from other places before and this fit right in. The chicken katsu was some of the best chicken I’ve ever had. The sauce for the chicken was the perfect amount of bitter/sweet which hit the spot. I substituted my California roll for a sweet potato roll which they had no issues doing and all I can say is wow. I’ve never tasted a sweet potato roll like the one I had here. The flavor was amazing and the sweet potato was crispy. Overall it was a great experience and I’d recommend anyone that hasn’t tried a bento box stop by akira and give it a try! We definitely will be back.

Excellent customer service and amazing food! This has become my family's new favorite spot. read more Excellent customer service and amazing food! This has become my family's new favorite spot.

My sister wanted Hibachi for her birthday and the timing that we went to a different restaurant they were closing for their midday break so we chose this location and when we went in we were shocked that there was no tableside hibachi for a restaurant that advertises itself as a Hibachi Grill. The food was decent service was great atmosphere was kind of quiet as we were the only party in there for a vast majority of the time. I won't say don't go there but don't go there expecting the full Hibachi experience.
