    Good ambience and good food. Some of the dishes like the tuna pizza was great, but others were fairly plain given the price point. The service was good, albeit a bit rushed. Overall it was an enjoyable experience.

    Really enjoyed dinner at Akira Back. The A5 Wagyu Nigiri was amazing (a must-try) and the sushi platter was very fresh. The Toban filet mignon was cooked well and the sauteed mushrooms were delicious. Even their vegetable fried rice was so good. The service we got from Gloria was great - she is always very friendly, kind, and thoughtful. I'll be back again soon.
