   Hours of operation are too short Opening hours are too short closing at five. The wait staff was a little less attentive to guests calling out. But the food was good.

   Dear Yaoyao, thank you for your valuable feedback. We are very sorry that you felt rushed . Please note, due to our internal operation needs of having to prepare, clean up and set up for the busy dinner service, we are unable to provide all day dining. Therefore, we would like to recommend earlier arrival if you wish to extend your seating time in the future. We are looking forward to welcome you back at Akira.

   A regular to this restaurant but have noticed that sushi has gotten smaller, and some of the classic items on the menu have been swapped.

   Everything is beautiful at Akira. The sashimi is a delight… the wagu is terrific and the toilets are sublime… if I could move in permanently I would x

   Food use to be alot better than this. We normally go for a special occasion as we think the food is absolutely amazing. But today was different. Potato salad missing alot of other ingredients that they use to make. The grill are no longer served in a big hot stone. The mushrooms which is our favourite does not taste the same anymore as it not serve sizzling hot. Food taste good but wont be going back anymore.

   The food was excellent and we loved our evening Only comment would be that we were not allowed to take home any left over food! This is very surprised on many levels

   Thank you for your 5 star review. We’re glad you enjoyed your experience at Akira. We do not have a licence to run a takeaway. For this reason, we don’t have containers and bags in our restaurant. Likewise, since we offer raw fish products, we also take into account hygiene conditions and working hard to achieve the highest food safety and hygiene standards.

   I like the serenity and quality of the food. The waiter brought the wrong dish for one of us. The booking process for lunch is ridiculous. I have to out £200 on my card in case of cancellation. Barely anyone was in the restaurant - a walk in patron was treated as if she was doing something wrong. They still required a credit card when she was obviously there to eat! This type of rigid attitude demonstrates a lack of hospitality and may account for the empty room on a Thursday lunch hour. How many people don’t bother to walk in because of this type of atmosphere?
