Sashimi

Feel the bounty of the sea with a dish prepared by arranging and appealing assortment of sashimi on one plate. A delightful selection of Hamachi, tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and the chef’s choice.

Chicken Teriyaki

A very popular Japanese dish! Juicy and tender pieces of glazed boneless skin-on chicken leg (both thigh and the drumstick) in a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce

Sea Steak Salad

Tuna is seared to perfection for a melt-in-your-mouth encounter, and it is the “crown jewel” of this salad with a healthy blend of grilled vegetables, mixed greens, avocados, fried leeks, garlic ponzu, mild wasabi sauce and tobiko.

Summer

One of Akira’s Signature Rolls.

Lobster tempera with spicy tuna, cucumber, fried leeks, fried lotus root, spicy mayo, unagi sauce and tobiko

Akira Galbi Don

Grilled short rib meat with savory BBQ sauce over rice – this Japanese beef bowl is a true satisfaction!
