    COW-WOW ROLL
    Almendra A.

    I visited Akira Back on Saturday and honestly the food blew me away! The sushi rolls were out of this world. A couple days before I stopped at a different sushi place in Atlantic Ave and I have tried a bunch of sushi restaurants in Delray and dare I say, they got nothing on Akira; This is the best sushi spot in town. Their kimchi butter sauce was unforgettable and the drinks were on point too! Service wise it was just okay. I was expecting a bit more, the server didn't show much emotion and didn't clear the dirty plates from the table. It didn't ruin the experience, but I'm a fool for outstanding service. Can't wait to be back to try all of their rolls and more!!

    Tuna pizza

    Located next to The Ray hotel. Tuna pizza exceeds expectations despite misleading photos in yelp. Food is Pricey but worth it for quality. Portions are small. Bar seating had excellent service by Kelly. Sleek spot for a special night out.

    Somewhere between the tuna pizza and the salmon tiradito I decided this is the best sushi place in Delray. The food was incredible, the service was amazing, and the cow-wow roll was so unique I almost got a second one. So glad I came and so glad it exists because I no longer have to drive to Miami for great sushi! Don't skip the dessert because the chocolate cup was great too.

    Lange Lange Lange.......Our server Lange may the whole dinning experience so much more superb. He make sure he answered all of my wife's questions and made sure he can make a dish gluten-free if possible. When the queen is happy I am happy. The food was amazing. The ambience was stunning. Overall, phenomenal experience. A+

    Toro Caviar Tuna belly + caviar... how can this combination ever go wrong? This dish is a total showstopper, and it tastes as good as it looks. AB Tuna/mushroom Pizza Their classic dish. You can order it with just or , or get a half-and-half. Wagyu Tacos I've always thought these were pretty good, but this time I found them to be a tiny bit too salty. Hokkaido Scallop A perfect summer appetizer. It's a scallop sashimi dish with kiwi and some grapefruit juice, super refreshing. Also, the Grilled Alaskan King Crab is highly recommended. They've revised this dish many times. It used to be a stack of about eight crab legs, then they halved the number, and now it's served in a chic little box with just three legs.

    This place is always great. The food is fresh and a nice mix between raw and cooked food. The ambience is elegant although at times can get loud. The staff is well trained and knowledgeable in their menu. The fried rices are all great, the rolls are really tasty and dessert are above average. You really can't go wrong trying this place.

    Absolutely unreal. Couldn't recommend enough! Everything we ordered was so good and the service was great. Super attentive and gave great recommendations based on what we liked.

    Let's start by saying that this restaurant is a wow! Akira Back has restaurants all over the world. Savannah our waitress was on point about the items on the menu. If she said that it was spicy, it surely was. We started with their tuna pizza. We then shared their hot mess sushi that also was a wow! The lamb chops with smoked Japanese miso came highly recommended and after having it I understand why. For dessert we had their AB cigar which is Japanese whiskey ice cream over a chocolate brownie with cocoa served like a cigar in an ashtray. This is a great find. Pricy but worth it. We will be back.

    Dian's 65 th birthday party at Akira Back. The most incredible meal I've ever had best sushi and I've eaten sushi
    Jeffrey B.

    A large party of 10 65th birthday atmosphere is very nice service great walked in greeted by receptionist sat us immediately Travis our waiter. Was more like a tour guide great knew everything about the menu and restaurant started salmon caper mini pizzas short rib rolls. Fish appetizers. Great wine menu and craft beer they were very attentive but not overkill Entrees were various sushi rolls , tender steak very eclectic. The food was the best sushi I've ever eaten anywhere in the world. Unique combinations. Flavors that explode with taste. There were so many dishes I can't name or remember everything we had but it was great Manager stopped bye very nice guy Desser. A surprise cake Yum espresso. You must try this place Expensive but worth it

    We came here on a whim a couple months ago and decided after we left we would come for my husbands birthday dinner. Our first experience we sat at the bar and it was overall amazing. The bartender suggested we get a few items and share. So we did the short rib fried rice, edamame with kimchi butter, hot mess sushi roll. Make sure you get extra kimchi butter because you will want to put it on everything. We literally CANNOT stop talking about this food. This hot mess roll was by far the best sushi roll either of us have ever had. No lie. Like my mouth is watering just thinking about it. So much that we came back a month later for my husband's birthday!! Every week we've shared this restaurant with someone. Literally don't even think twice, just make a reservation and GO!! This is our new go to for whenever we want truly good food. The service was great. The vibes were on point. The food INCREDIBLE!!!!!

    Food is still consistently amazing and the prices are also a bit high as the portions are tiny and felt even smaller on this visit. Perfect place for a special occasion. Restaurant is still a bit loud. The tartares are my favorite. The dessert cigar has been changed. I didn't enjoy it like the original one. The cigar paper was missing and the Icecream was different. Check my new photo with the old one. I Enjoyed my dinner.

    King Crab with some good tasting almost bang bang sauce mixed in!
    Jon A.

    Great service, good recommendations of things to try, and excellent food. I'm not a big sushi either but the things I did eat were great. The King Crab, the dessert cigar, the snow rice sake, the crab fried rice all delicious. I will be returning!

    Apple
    Marcie M.

    Started off with the geisha drink. I ordered it because it said honeydew. I did not taste much honeydew in. It just tasted like a cucumber martini, but we're still delicious. Moved onto the Toro tartar , which was not only fresh and delicious but a really cool presentation at the table. The grilled octopus was good, but nothing to write home about as well as the truffle bomb. I really didn't taste any truffle in. It was just the taste of Uni and the potato .we then got the scallops and crab legs from the robotic grill and both were delicious. Crab legs were a little spicy due to the Sriracha aïoli but nothing too overwhelming and I'm a baby with spice. Miso cod and short rib for our entrées both were cooked perfectly for dessert. We had the apple crisp . Was similar to a churro filled with apple had cinnamon flavor and vanilla ice cream and was delicious. Pricey for some of the things but good overall

    Do they have happy hour?

    Hi Georgia, we do not offer a happy hour at Akira Back.

    Do they offer something for the kiddos?

    The chefs are flexible with the menu and can accommodate children's requests.

    Do they do happy hour?

    I wish! They may start soon

The older crew that comes in every single Tuesday and other days as well but ruins Yuesday happy hour has got to go. They has absolutely ruined the entire experience at this location. You can never ever get a seat at the bar and what's worse is that multiple employees have said that the older crowd that comes in early and sits there for hours on end next to never order anything and sit there with their one single drink with maybe a $20 tab and then wind up tipping $2. That's insane; it ruined it for my wife and I when we love the bartenders and I would tip them double or $100 on a small tab to make up for that entire crews major lack of consideration not only to the people who work there but anyone else who ever wants to sit at the bar and they never leave for hours. To make it worse, for forbid you ask them to switch so other people can enjoy the bar scene and get drinks they turn nasty and start being beyond irrational. To the owner. Make it stop because everyone sees it and hates it and you have lost a ton of business from me for sure when I would go religiously every Tuesday and usually 5-6 other times monthly spending hundreds of not thousands. I will never ever be back until this ends. I advise everyone to go somewhere else because the whole atmosphere has lost its everything. Horrible experience until that is handled.

I enjoyed the sushi roll the most. My two coworkers both ordered different types of sushi rolls. One had fish and the other was a sweet potato roll. The restaurant packed both of the rolls in the same box, which resulted in a mess, as the sauce on one roll got mixed in with the other roll. Again, this was take-out, so I am sure we would have had a different experience if we ate in the restaurant. I would like to try this restaurant again. Next time will be a dine-in meal instead of take-out.

    This is considered Palm Beach County's best Japanese Omakase restaurant; Omakase translates to "…read moreI'll leave it up to you". We left a credit card deposit for half of our meal and made reservations weeks in advance. Taki Omakase's curated 18-course chef's choice menu offers traditional Japanese nigiri and cutting-edge, innovative seafood & wagyu dishes. The seafood is flown here directly from Japan using specialized torch-searing and Binchotan charcoal grilling, some dishes finished with the opulence of genuine gold flakes. The menu celebrates bold flavors and exotic textures, featuring luxurious accents such as truffle, foie gras, yuzu, and plum. We found street parking in front & opened the nondescript door with Japanese characters. We had one of the 12 seats at tonights only seating. We chose the Delray location which is more modern than the traditional Omakase at the Mizner Park, Boca Raton restaurant . I appreciated the opportunity to engage with Patrick our Michellen star chef while watching him prepare each course with precision & love. We started by sharing Tatenyan Kitty sake that was light of fragrant with a gentle, sweetness and dry finish that was well balanced. I enjoyed watching Patrick prepare each dish some torched, with gold dust, charcoal, and minut details with tweezers. Patrick told us about each course & the ingredients contained. He gave us the Japanese name of each fish as well as the American translation. Every piece of fish was buttery, interesting & exceptional.

My favorite was the Miso cod and Wagyu steak. There's nigiri pieces, a hand roll and a nice sorbet to end the night. Besides uni, my highlights were the sea bream and mackerel. I also requested hot water with lemon and it came in a pot with a tea candle, very well presented! I was impressed. Our dining sets were cleared very efficiently. Wish the servers would be more friendly and smiled more though. What left a bad impression was the server was in such a rush to check out our group, she ran my card twice and then said she refunded and ran my husband's card once but upon checking my CC statement, nothing was refunded so we were charged 3 times for 2 people. When I called to clarify, she said there's nothing she could do as everything on their end was correct and I needed to contact my bank. After much turmoil back and forth, she was able to find the mistake (she refunded the wrong guest) and finally corrected it. Frustrating experience.
