Weve always loved Akira, but recently their chefs have been taking their sushi game to a whole new level. Very delicious with big portions of food we have yet to have a roll that we didnt like. Highly recommend!

Love Akira. The poke nachos are my fave and there are so many rolls to choose from that youll def find one you love. Its small so they can get kinda crowded at dinner time, but you can also do take out.
