Reviews for Akira Japanese Restaurant in San Francisco, CA

Really fast and delicious. I ordered the Chirashi bowl and it came with a salad and miso soup. The fish seem to be on a rotating... schedule because the sushi chef told me they were the ones posted on the wall! There were some standards like salmon, but also afew I couldn’t recognize! I’d definitely return. Read more

Lowkey place to eat good Japanese food. Good quality with fair portion. We had Pink Dragon rolls, Seared Salmon Belly roll and... chicken teriyaki for main course and calamari, agedashi tofu and fried chicken for appetizers.They were all very good. I'd liketo point it out that the agedashi tofu was specially good. I even ordered an extra one after my dinner. It comes with theperfect sauce and bonito flake on top, but for my surprise it also comes with Japanese eggplant tempura and green bean tempuraon the plate. Great combination and presentation. The service is really cordial and friendly. Really happy with this experience! Read more

Excellent!! They are very customer oriented! The food is amazing. I really enjoy the Miso soup and rolls !

Decent sushi with a good variety of roll options. For how much they cost I was a little disappointed at how small the appetizers... were but I still enjoyed it. Read more

Very disappointed with how the evening manager handled my husbands food poisoning for this evenings dinner. We live 2 blocks... away and have done had take out more than 10 time since moving to the area in Dec 2021. We have ordered 2 beef teriyaki dinner,1 California roll, 1 salmon roll and 1 crunchy spicy tuna roll. My husband had one of the beef teriyaki dinners and his favoritethe crunchy spicy tuna (he also had the ginger and Wasabi included on the side). Within 20 mins of eat his dinner, he began tohave stomach discomfort - which then turned into cramps and eat with him vomiting. He drank only water the entire day and hadwater with dinner. The only food he had the entire day was this meal from this establishment. This is his regular eating routineto be clear. His is a white male, late 40s and lean physical build. Doesn't drinks alcohol and just has coffee in morning andwater the rest of the day. I decided to call at 9.30pm (we ate dinner 7.30 pm) because my husband was still not feeling well. Iinformed her what we ordered and what he husband ate from that order. Importantside note: We both get tested weekly for coviddue to our work so we know that we are not sick already from something else. I mention this because the lady handling the calland reporting to the manager stated and I quote " all our clients today have had no issues with the crunchy spicy tuna thisevening so maybe your friend is sick already from something - sorry about this." I personally grew up in the food andhospitality industry and my husband has a lot of knowledge regarding the restaurant industry aswell; the way the evening managerhad the phone lady handle this is unacceptable. Instead of offering to compensate for the 1 crunchy spicy tuna and inquire abouthow my husband is doing that moment I called - they decided to say "my friend must be sick from something else because no otherclient has had any issues with that specific dish that entire day. I then asked that a message b Read more
