    Brought my boyfriend here for his 29th birthday, and it was truly exceptional! The atmosphere is both sleek and welcoming, perfect for a special night out. From start to finish, the service was top-notch—attentive without being intrusive, and the staff was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. The food, however, stole the show. Every dish was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. We started with the famous tuna pizza, which was delicate, fresh, and unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. The wagyu tacos and AB tacos were another highlight, offering an unforgettable fusion of flavors. Our favourite was probably the hot mess sushi. Overall, Akira Back delivers on every front: ambiance, service, and especially food. It’s definitely a spot I’d recommend to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable dining experience. My boyfriend is a bit picky and he was talking about booking again on the car ride home. Will definitely be coming back!

    My husband and I were celebrating both of our birthdays (October) as well as our 35th wedding anniversary. I'd been to Akira Back a couple of years ago and wanted my husband to experience it. Everything was amazing from our initial welcome to the surprise complimentary dessert. Our waitress, Jen, was warm and funny and very attentive, and the rest of the staff were great as well. I started with a Hanami 24 cocktail, and my husband had the Shoga Old Fashioned. Both were generous pours, and the Hanami was so refreshing. We had Wagyu Tacos and Crispy Octopus to start. Delicious! The sauces that accompanied the Octopus were so good. We then had a couple of Akira's Signature rolls.....Hot Mess, and Show Me The Roll, as well as Wagyu Rice. They did not disappoint. This was such a lovely experience for us and we can't wait to go back! Thank you, everyone, at Akira Back, for the best night ever!

    The food was excellent. As good or better than the other famous sushi restaurant we have eaten at several times. Our server Katie was friendly and engaging and provided us with great recommendations. As a result, we have made reservations at the London location for an upcoming trip and we will definitely be back on our next trip to Toronto.
