Was visiting for the weekend and needed a quick place to grab a bite before hitting the road. For the lunch prices we got massive portions of food quickly. Their karage and katsu are fried perfectly without being too greasy. Definitely recommend giving this place a try!

Ramen was absolutely delicious, the miso ramen broth was a little less flavorful than the last time I had it, but it was still delicious and comforting. The pork buns and takoyaki(?) were also delicious, the mayo was bit too heavy on the takoyaki but it was still enjoyable. The staff were attentive and got our orders perfectly. Would definitely recommend coming to this place.

Tiny little ramen and sushi spot. Enjoyed the two different sushi rolls we ordered, along with the vegetarian ramen. I ordered the miso soup, and it was really good. A new favorite for when I’m in the area.

Nice ramen spot with a great variety of options! I have tried the veggie broth ramen and it was delicious. The spring rolls tasted good too, though I felt the portion could be a bit better for the price. Overall, it’s a good place with a cozy ambience, warm and friendly staff, and quick service.

Delicious, fast, and friendly service. We were visiting Baltimore MD, while out and about saw Akira Ramen & Izakaya restaurant in a Target run. We were able to get a booth right away. The place is very cozy and inviting. We placed our orders and within a few minutes here they come. Staff is very efficient and the food was delicious! I definitely recommend!

We had another fantastic experience at Akira! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We’ve had the ramen before, and it was absolutely delicious. This time, we decided to try a few different sushi rolls, and they did not disappoint—each one was fresh and full of flavor. The service truly goes above and beyond to make your experience special. Five stars— we’ll definitely be back again

This place has some of the best ramen I’ve eaten. The seaweed fries are so good. My spouse loves the sushi says it’s some of the best they have had. Highly recommend.

The gyoza was seared nicely, the vegetable spring rolls had little flavor, the shumai was flavorless and had no texture, the Black Dragon roll was awesome tasting, the Dynamite was basically white rice and tuna and the hot saki was good. The service was adequate.

It’s been months since the last time I went there, but from what I remember it was really nice. I mainly just got the Poke Salad and various kinds of sushi though. Never actually had ramen or anything else. Still, it was delicious and the quality was awesome. One thing I would note is that if you get the Poke Salad to go, they put the soy sauce in a container rather than pouring it out into the bottom of the dish. Personally, I don’t like that much salt lol. I’m sure you could probably ask them not to do that in the restaurant but if you don’t know about it ahead of time… Anyway, the reason I don’t go there anymore is just about the price difference between Akira Ramen and Harris Teeter(which is across the parking lot). If you want to go to a fancy Japanese restaurant and have a nice meal, obviously Akira is much better. Their prices aren’t bad at all, but they can’t compare to a grocery store. Especially not on a Friday, when you can get 10 pieces of spicy tuna roll for 5 dollars at Harris Teeter. The Poke Salad is actually cheaper at Akira Ramen though. Which is something to keep in mind. Even when you add in tip and tax, it’s probably still cheaper, unless you’re a generous tipper. If you weren’t worried about tipping, I think the Poke Salad was 10 dollars the last time I went. Maybe 10.50, probably 11-something with tax. They also sell seaweed salad for 6 dollars, I think? Which is about the same price as Harris Teeter but I haven’t compared the sizes. Their Poke Salad is almost only fish and some lettuce, with some tiny apple pieces. Harris Teeter has a bunch of rice, a little seaweed salad, some fish and some artificial crab mixed together in a relatively larger and heavier container. It will fill you up, but I think the ingredients are probably cheaper overall compared to Akira’s version.
My go-to order from Akira would be a Poke Salad, some type of sushi roll(6 pieces for about 4-6 dollars), and a seaweed salad. I like to mix the three together. The Poke Salad doesn’t come with any wasabi, but that might just be because I didn’t ask for it due to social anxiety lmao. Seriously, it’s so hard for me to ask for stuff like that… But I think a lot of people are that way too. Also I’d be afraid it’d cost extra no matter what I asked for? Maybe other people would know.
