Visited Akira after seeing it in the Michelin guide and wasn't disappointed. The food is top-notch, especially the sushi set – a must-try! Also, don't miss out on the matcha crepe cake. They've got a great wine and sake selection, and their cocktails are on point. Highly recommend!
The food at Akira is delicious. The food is fresh, authentic, and presented in an assortment of dishes. The customer service is also exceptional, the vibe was very cozy yet refined. I asked for something special for our anniversary and they delivered. I was very grateful for the extra mile the staff
Excellent taster menu and selection of wines and sake, lots of seating for larger groups and the staff were brilliantly attentive.
Japanese toilets are cool too.
Lovely food and price.
Decoration lovely and menú amazing. The only is the service didn’t feel comfortable with the managers didn’t feel they were good recommending the plates.
I’m afraid I’ll not return.
But lovely prices
A most lovely experience having top Japanese food. The menu was exquisite. Service was slow and a bit problematic to get the drinks flowing. But other than that it was a wonderful dinner.
Akira managed to surprise me with some of the best food i ever had.
I only tried one piece of sushi, with the octopus, but in my first bite I could tell that they are doing great things. The rice was simply on another level than anything else I tried before.
Their wagyu Ramen was very tasty and ri
Really good food. We went early afternoon for the Japanese afternoon tea for two and enjoyed everything! The range of smoked black teas was great the one with Sakura was really good.
Had the 5 course menu. The fish is fresh, and the ratio of rice to raw fish in the nigiri was good. However the lamb was a bit tough and chewy, but other than that everything was good.
Delicious food, fresh and tasty. Also the staff was very attentive and polite. I was very surprised at how nice the place was. Hidden in kensington, just by the whole foods. I had the 60£ Sushi Omakase 3 course menu, and it was a lot plus the dessert !Couldn't recommend enough!!!
The service and the food was top notch but the servers told us that they were all booked while there were many empty tables which they wouldn't move us to. We ordered 5 courses and 3 side dishes which were hard to enjoy while we were at the bar seatings. Otherwise, kind and heartwarming service and
omakase was delicious, i was well and truly stuffed by the end of it.
akira is a nice quite location serving a great selection of sashimi, which were all super fresh
the matcha cake at the end was also super yummy
service is fast and staff are very friendly
Definitely a "special occasion" location, as it's quite expensive, but, overall, a truly lovely experience, and well worth it, especially following a visit to Japan House. We snuck in without reservations at literally Noon on the dot. Hostess was kind and smart enough to offer us a table, her caveat
Enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea at the counter on a Saturday afternoon. Everyone was very friendly and the afternoon desserts were brilliant. Next time I will have lunch, highly recommend Akira Restaurant.
The restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. We didn't have a reservation but they managed to seat us by the bar.
Quality food. The wagyu beef is so fresh, tender and juicy. The best wagyu I have had before. Sushi dishes and desserts are very good too. Love their macha cake crepe cake. Dare
There are better Japanese restaurants in London, but it's a nice authentic place with an open kitchen that you can observe. Over the weekend it's very busy, even for lunch. The bento box allows you to have a selection of various small dishes, so it can be a very good choice if you want to explore a
Went for the bento sets at lunch — beautifully presented and a nice range of items. Dessert was tasty too!
