    Philadelphia roll & shrimp Avocado Roll
    Vivian R.

    We have been to Akira frequently over the years and it is consistently good! I love the koi pond they have in the restaurant! The employees are so friendly and efficient! We went in today for lunch and both got the lunch special of 2 rolls for $13. I had the shrimp avocado roll and Philadelphia roll. Both of them had extremely fresh ingredients and tasted great! The lunch special also comes with a soup or salad. I had the salad and my fiancée had the miso soup, both are a nice starter. We really enjoy Akira sushi and will be back again soon!

    Hibachi Filet Mignon and Scallops
    Robyn B.

    We went here for a friend's 32nd birthday last week. They were able to accommodate all 17 of us around a hibachi table. When I tell you that the service was QUICK and EFFICIENT, I mean it. Usually hibachi is a long drawn out process. Not here. Those of us who ordered appetizers received them in 5-10 minutes or less. We had to cooks prepare the hibachi. They knocked out the food within 20 minutes- even for a large group of people! The food itself was incredible. The fried rice was to die for- had a buttery taste to it that just enhanced the flavor. My steak was prepared as ordered. Since it was my friends birthday, they not only sang happy birthday, but had a gong going as well. Overall, this was a great, lively experience. We will be returning on our own for a hibachi meal!

    Tray with random rolls and sushi
    Amelia C.

    Got a tray of sushi for take out and everything was delicious. Everything tasted fresh. The sushi is reasonably priced. Outdoor seating is available. The boss is very nice! I came around 6:30PM and it was very busy, but service was quick. There was a steady traffic of people picking up their takeout orders.

    Shrimp Tempura Roll and King Crab Roll
    Kimberly F.

    This was my first time here, but I'll surely be back. The restaurant is cute and has a bit fancier decor. A great date spot. Service was great and they were very friendly. They also kept the table clean by removing old plates as we ate. The food came out fast! Prices were a bit high. The miso soup was only $3, but for beef fried rice it was $16 which was quite high. However, the food was excellent. The shrimp tempura roll was the best I have ever had! It had a nice crunch on the outside of the shrimp, more so than other places I've gotten this type of roll from. The king crab roll had delicious crab inside - real crab not imitation. However there was nothing else in the roll so it was a bit boring, but still tasty nonetheless. I can't wait to come back here!

    Pretty good place. Apps were decent and interesting, not fantastic but not bad either. Love the sushi boat and variety. Place is also a BYOB which is great

    I wanted hibachi and this place doesn't disappoint. I ordered yuzu tuna for the appetizer and it was very delicious. The perfect balance of tuna, avocado, and black tobikko. Also I got toro, sweet shrimp, and salmon for sushi and sashimi. They were also very good for the price. As for hibachi, I got beef and scallop. The meal also comes with fried rice and vegetables. The meat and the vegetables were well seasoned. The food came out at a reasonable time and I enjoyed the food very much. I will come back again!

    Samurai Roll
    Marissa P.

    This sushi restaurant is located right in downtown Moorestown. It's a pretty decent size restaurant and a variety of selections. It is a BYOB. I came here later towards closing (only like 1.5 hours before closing) and the waiter was nice. I got the Samurai Roll and paired it with miso soup. I definitely would come here again!

    Chicken & Steak
    Eugene A.

    I love the experience of hibachi, especially when it's a special occasion. The chef always gets the table laughing and provides a common experience to bring strangers together. Came for my son's birthday and we all had a great time. The food was pretty standard hibachi fare ( rice, meats, veggies) that was well prepared and grilled perfectly. Will return to try the sushi on another day. Friendly service from all staff members.

    Good sushi and hibachi. Shrimp was better than chicken. Soup and salad were great. Good fried rice.

    Went out for a nice Thursday night dinner. Hibachi was good. We ordered Sesame chicken, an off the menu item, and it was delicious.

    We used to love taking the family here but things change fast. Not clean looking and the Hibachi chefs looked disinterested.

I wasn't feeling too hot and soup was what I needed to get myself back in the game so I did my research and said let me order from Asuka. My order was packaged with such care to ensure I still had the best ramen and udon experience despite having it to go via delivery. Both the ramen and udon were really good with the udon surprisingly being my favorite (because I just knew the ramen would be lol) . The texture of the noodles, the tempura and the simplicity of the broth was spot on. The ramen was also good but I wish there was a bit more depth of flavor and spiciness in the spicy miso broth. I'll definitely order from here again and will probably try some of the other menu items.

The interior was a little odd, but very cute. I'm glad it wasn't crowded. The food was good and I loved the Black Jack. The Black Knight was spicy and good. The Naruto Snowcrab roll was good. However, our other three rolls were a little forgettable/interchangeable with each other. The sashimi was neither fresh nor expired- it just existed? (Funny story, the last time sashimi was flavorless to me I actually had covid and lost my sense of taste and smell LOL) So I'm giving 4 stars bc I'm rounding up from 3.5

I am not sure if they have Japanese roots but everyone took the time to make our experience and food phenominal, which is a part of the Japanese culture. The actual fish quality and care in preparation with the little additions of yuzu and other spices on the individual pieces were amazing! It was like every piece was served as omakaze. Also, the chef served the highest quality and cuts of fish. This was a second visit for us. I usually do a review after two visits to judge a location and this place exceeded our first visit... I thought the first visit was a fluke because of how good it was. Now I believe they are actually this good.. The locals that live around here have a plethora of places to go to for sushi (we know because we have been to em all), but this place is the Gold Standard in our opinion. We live about 40 minutes away and made the trip here because of what I remember from our last visit. The ambience is cool with tons of pictures of private parties and fun times people have here. I deff want to have them cater a sushi party for us soon! We went here the first to try some place new by searching Yelp.... However, I saw them pop up on either my Instagram or Youtube feed a couple weeks ago. I know sometimes InstaTube places are a disappointment, but do not be affraid to try here and form your own opinion.

My husband and I made a pitstop at the Cherry Hill Mall to use the restroom and on the way in we saw Kooma, with "martini bar" in the title. We were automatically intrigued. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by a very pleasant staff. Since we did not want a full meal, we opted for a seat at the bar. My husband wanted to try a drink with peanut simple syrup, but unfortunately, the beverage was discontinued. Instead, he went with an Asian style old-fashioned. It was smoked using wood chips and was presented impeccably. Loved watching our bartender burn the chips on top of the drink to create the smoke in the glass. I selected a spicy, pineapple, passionfruit martini, which looked equally as beautiful as it was appetizing. For our snack, we selected the ceviche. Perhaps we didn't read the menu too closely, because this was a sweet ceviche with mango, instead of your traditional citrusy version we are used to. It was still very tasty, but the original style is my preference. Price wise, this place is a bit more on the expensive side, but you definitely feel the luxurious ambience in the atmosphere. Can't praise the bartenders/waiters enough enough. They were so attentive and sincerely friendly, which can be hard to find.
