Akira Ramen & Izakaya

I had Akira volcano ramen and takoyaki. Food - 5 stars Both were very delicious. Ramen noodle was curly and cooked perfect, the broth was smooth, and chashu was actually grilled and added in. I've been to about 5 ramen places in the area and I would say they rank #1 or 2. Service - 5 stars Server was pleasant. Atmosphere - 5 stars. Nice and clean. Some what nostalgic as they played old school J pop.

The sushi was sub par. The rice was hard, the rolls fell apart, and they ended up mixing all the sushi orders together on the same plates, so it was hard to eat what we all individually ordered. I might as well have gotten sushi at Giant for a fraction of the price. I didn't try their ramen, but I won't be going back. It's not worth the money. There are better sushi places.

Nice Ramen shop to stop by and they actually play J-Pop. The food is good, but the service is sub-par from grrat in anyway. The atmosphere would be perfect with some smiles at least. My prices are estimates, but it was a total of 50.00 which is fairly good for how much we ate. **Serving** Huge issue with me, the staff and even cooks needs to learn/train to hold and pull dishes. My server held the plates with his thumb on the center, I had to wipe it clean. Then serving our fries, same server, nearly is touching our fries with his finger becuase how he is holding the plate, absolutely NO! Then I see the cooks grab the Ramen bowls with palm in the inner bowl, it was just not sanitary that way, its basic food training. They need like a SafeServ certificate or something… No high quality restaurant would dare serve food that way. Service - Staff need to smile a bit, I don't care how your day is going, but if your going to work, at least put some effort into it, especially if you want tip. It goes a long way, 100% of my tip amount comes from service, if you show me you care, you get tip, if not, you getting less than 10% or nothing. No one chatted or talked, no nice greetings or anything, didn't feel warm. Chicken Broth Ramen with Kara-Age Side (15.50) - It taste like chicken broth ramen, I liked it a lot as it was good, noodles were good, toppings were just right. The Kara-age was good too, but they used more fattier pieces with mine. Akira Ramen (14.50) - I partner enjoyed the pork broth ramen, simple and nice ramen, soft and tender. If your a ramen lover, you should be fine here. Salmon Lover Roll (13.50) - Very generous portion of salmon, loved it. Lots of salmon and good mixture of fancy ingredients. Fries (6.00) - It tasted like french fries, so uts good enough. Everything is good here, just the service needs some work.

I went here to eat dinner with my family and the food was great! I got the cold soba tempura entree, okonomiyaki, and scallop appetizer. The okonomiyaki and scallops were great starters. The okonomiyaki came to our table sizzling hot and tasted awesome. While the scallops had a refreshing and clean taste. As for the noodles, the noodles were accompanied nicely with the dipping sauce, poached egg, and fresh tempura. Lastly, I felt that the service was quick and very polite. Would definitely come here again.

We put our name on the waitlist at 6:15 and were told 15 minutes wait. We were seated at 7:15 being told “2 more minutes” the whole time. We were finally seated and ordered our food. The hot food came in a few minutes but the sushi took almost 30 more minutes after the hot food was delivered. The food was very good but half the table had no food. We had a 6 year old with us and she was the last one served. One person had their soft drink delivered after she finished her whole meal. They were totally full but this is still an unacceptable way of treating your customers. The sad part is that they really didn’t seem to care.
