Went here 5/1/2024 for lunch service
Hostess greeted me at the door. Sat at the bar and got Chirashi and Hokkaido Uni.
Chirashi comes with soup and salad. Miso soup has tofu and chives, house salad has great dressing mixed in and the tomato on top the skin was peeled, sweetness burst in my mouth! Delicious.
Chirashi has a mountain variety full of fish. Comes with what looks like octopus, sweet shrimp, crab, salmon, tuna, chutoro, albacore, yellowtail, seared white fish, 2 sweet scallops. The rice underneath was seasoned with seaweed and pickled seaweed. Very tasty! Also the rice is from hokkaido! Really great rice texture!
Hokkaido Uni was very delicious! Definitely a treat!
Service is great! My tea cup was never empty.
Will definitely come again and try their omakase.
Akira is some of the best sushi you will find on the West Coast. The chef, Leo, is creative and passionate with his craft. The fish in unbelievably fresh. Ask about the off menu specials, and let Leo finish your dinner with chef’s choice. You’ll have dreams about it
I had one of the best sushi dining experience in Studio City. As a true sushi lover, Akira's food was absolutely delicious, their omakase was super worth it, lots of expensive ingredients for that price, staffs are very knowledgeable and helpful as well, most importantly - chef Leo is fun and take his work very seriously - he is a true perfectionist! There are so many sushi places on Ventura Blvd but this is the spot I'd come back for sure, you can get fresh sushi anywhere but you can't get the same experience elsewhere! You can see I really had a great time! :)
Amazing!
I had the avocado cucumber roll. My husband had the dragon roll (Decorated like an actual dragon! Omg! Art! He wouldn't let me take a pic!) and futomaki roll.
The service was polite and informed and quick. No wait for a table on a Saturday night!
Delicious. Must try!
Wonderful beer and alcohol selection. We had three beers.
Loved the music and ambiance. It was quiet and comfortable/cozy after a long day.
Thank you for the lovely meal .
The chef is amazing to arrange all the magical food and explaining details of each dish! It’s far beyond ordinary sushi place, probably the best omakase experience in town. I am lucky that there were three types of uni available that night. Everything fresh, beautifully decorated, special and yum!
Leo's the best! My sister and I have been going to him for our sushi cravings for years. His ... Recipes? I'm not sure what it's called when it comes to nigiri... Always taste great, and I haven't found the same quality or taste elsewhere. He's always smiling and joking around with his diners, too, so the sushi bar seating is highly recommended.
My pictures don't do the dishes justice, so if you're ever thinking about heading out to Studio City, definitely stop by. Or just come out just for the sushi, because it's worth it!
Very high quality sushi and the chef is awesome. I gave him a budget and he put together a custom omakase experience for us. We really enjoyed it.
Atmosphere could use a little more warmth. Lighting at the bar was also a little too bright.
Highly recommend.
We decided to go in and tried omakase here. To our surprise, it was fabulous. In our course, the nigiri sushi given to us embodied the traditional culture that usually can find in high end sushi restaurants in LA or Tokyo. The chef was able to bring out the fish flavor while striking a perfect balance between texture to sauce.
Definitely will come back for another run.
(Will provide another update after another random visit with friends.)
