    I've been here a half dozen times, usually for birthdays or other celebration gatherings so we're in a private area in the back. The owner always makes sure we have a splendid time. Our food has always been great. Now here's my dilemma. My husband hates sitting with random strangers...yet I love hibachi. Thankfully, at Akira, you get the best of both worlds and they have private tables you can sit at while still eating hibachi! Bonus! The food also comes out much, much faster since you're not watching them cook it. I'm sure we'll be back!

    Worst hibachi experience. I love hibachi in general. This is ranked last in my list. Explained why it was empty on Sunday lunch. The chef came in on the grill... Acted like someone forced him to cook for us... Obviously no show & tricks... I had to ask him to cook chicken more because he was ready to serve half cooked chken.. Sake was the worst I ever had. Never again!!

    Good staple in Solon; lots of children, nice and clean. Not as flashy as Wasabi, cleaner than Benihana and has a solid menu. It's not really my first pick, but is a solid choice when the entire family, including the nieces and nephews want to get together. They offer ribeye, which is nice. However, as with many Japanese steakhouses, ordering your steak rare or medium rare is a hard-to-understand concept. The salad and soup were good - nothing spectacular. Shrimp appetizer was also good. I really enjoyed the busboy, who brought my my Sriracha liberally. Of course I will be back, but I prefer Wasabi because of the atmosphere, the noodles and the sushi,

    I took a friend there for her birthday. She found a dead fly in her salad! The way it was handle was horrible. It was outer first time there and our last! Beware of dead insects in your food

    We came here with a living social voucher. The staff was very friendly. The hibatchi chef was fun. The food was great. I'm a big fan of hibatchi and this is up there in my list of restaurants now. Enjoy.

    I really enjoyed the sushi here. It certainly didn't hold it's weight against some large city specialty places but for local, well priced, good quality sushi this is the place. Definitely will go back!

    We love this place! I have been to plenty of hibachi places and this one of my favs! The owner is super friendly and always makes sure everything is ok! The dipping sauces are very good too! They even have lunch prices on the weekends which is really nice! Its not too loud like some hibachi places!

    The place is cute and the food was adequate, but not spectacular. One of our sushi rolls was heaped with so much mayonnaise we literally had to scrap a great deal of it off to make it edible. By far the highlight of the meal was the wasabi dumplings, they were delicious. The tempura appetizer was also well prepared. The calamari appetizer was served with a little cup of jarred tex-mex style salsa which I thought was very odd, and did not compliment the otherwise nicely prepared calamari at all. The biggest thing was the temperature of the restaurant. The owner kept stopping by the table to apologize for the 60 degree (and falling) room temperature but no matter how she fidgeted with the thermostat it never got any better. We all ended up wearing our coats for most of the meal. Anyway, it was not an altogether horrible experience, but there are two sushi/hibachi places that are much closer to home that have markedly superior food and don't seem to have the dining room set to frosty.

    I have been to many Japanese restaurant before and this one is so far the worst! The service is awful. Took them 40 mins to serve our food then another 30 min waiting to get a check. There was only a few table of people inside.The food was a total waste too. Everything was too salty. They put way too much flour to fry the tiny pieces of seafood just to make them look bigger, sure is a good way to save them $$$. I also ordered a lamb rack. On the menu it shows a rack of lamb. But the actual plate was filled with pre cooked hibachi rice with 3 skinny pieces of lamb chops.And of course the meat tasted like nothing but a chunk of salt. After I walked out of there my hair and my clothes smelled like that oily hibachi. Even though I did not sit at the hibachi table at all!

    Over this is a wonderful restaurant! In many ways it was fairly comprable to most other Japanese Hibachi restaurants I've been to. My date and I didn't eat at the Hibachi grill seating and sat at a private table, so I can't comment on the Hibachi chefs. Se ordered the volcano roll and I ordered the salmon grill dinner. Both of us enjoyed our food very much! Sake was good, and service was in fact some of the best I've had in a long time. Will be back for sure.

    6:00 pm reservations on a Saturday evening for a party of 8. The hostess, an older lady perhaps named Candy, was so very rude...and it appeared as though she was training a younger lady. I hope that younger lady doesn't pick up her terrible customer service habits! Food: was fair at best. There is no synchronization of cooking so a few of us received our seafood while the vegetables were cooking, then came the rice, then came the beef. I never had scallops, veggies and rice on my plate at the same time. We couldn't eat our dinners together. I know this restaurant gets pretty good reviews...I have no idea why.

    I absolutely LOVE Akira! Just about everyone in our family is a member of the birthday club, where you get a free Hibachi meal during the month of your birthday! Yes - you can go anytime during that month!! Much better than those darn birthday clubs that you can only utilize on your actual birth date. The hostess is amazing - she is super friendly and so funny. When we went this past time the service was a little slow - it took a waitress about 7-8 minutes to come take our drink order after we sat down... But other than that it was fantastic. The hostess immediately came over and apologized for the wait so that made up for it. The food is delicious, and in my opinion they have the best sauces out of all the hibachi places I have been to in Northeast Ohio! Love them and would highly recommend them - ask to join the birthday club when you go! :)

    I have been coming here since 1999 and the food has been top quality ever since! The hibachi is the best in cleveland, and better than most places I have been in other states. The sushi is so fresh that I very rarely deviate getting raw fish anywhere else in the area. For the hibachi I recommend the steak and shrimp dinner (rib eye instead of NY strip) and for sushi you cannot pass up the volcano roll!

    Hmm where to start. The service is pretty good. Very friendly and kid friendly. They asked if we needed separate checks since our party was large! Drinks are reasonable. We had 15 people and a few kids. I did not understand why they did not put us in the special hibachi room? Super Clevelandesque hibachi. Good salad dressing. Thick mayo based YUM YUM sauce. Good ginger sauce. The miso soup was not very hot, and could have used a little more miso paste. Apps- The calamari and shiitake mushroom apps were tiny and very average. 10 or so small calamari rings and about a couple of tablespoons of shitake shrooms. I peeked the sushi bard and the fish did not look very good. The tuna looked like that pink crap you can get at giant eagle. We asked for the steaks medium rare and they cooled well done. Very average beef quality. The vegetables and fried rice did not have much flavor. The fried rice was just rice and egg. My bill was 37 bucks: steak and chicken combo, calamari app. and a beer. You can definitely do better, not really much bang for the buck. My steak was cooked well done and I ordered it medium rare. i did not try the sushi but I peeped the fish at the sushi bar and it looked like buffet quality fish. The show was not very entertaining, not really funny and or much interaction. I would advise that if there are no coupons, go to one of the mall Japanese joints.

    My favorite NE Ohio sushi and hibachi place. Service is very friendly, food is tasty, sushi is good. Some of the Japanese students at a local college suggested it to me as they liked it. Great place to get your sushi fix!

    Did not eat habachi. Sat at the bar and ate a tuna nigiri ($5.50) and an udon noodle ($14.50 + $2.00 for chicken and beef). Tuna was below average. Was not fresh and had virtually zero flavor. Udon was average. Beef was marinated perfectly and was very tender. Chicken was extremely overdone. Entire dish was coated in butter/oil. Ginger dressing with salad was slightly above average. Miso was as expected. Service was friendly after they finally came over to us. Probably will not return.

    I have tried at least a dozen Hibachi places and this is BY FAR the best one I have ever been to. I challenge people to give me names of others, I'll be happy to try them and compare!! Their ginger salad dressing is to DIE for. And I don't know what it is about their hibachi food but it is just excellent. You have to try their shrimp sauce which comes as a side with your meal. Unbelievably good!! I think they have fixed their "only 4 bills per table" rule which was pretty much the only complaint I have ever had here.

    A bit pricey. Weirdest thing is that each table seats 8, so sometimes several unrelated parties are grouped together and management will not allow more than four credit cards per table. Makes for a pretty awkward situation if everyone pays their own bill, doesn't have cash, and wants to use a credit card. Anyway, like many hibachi places, the food is cooked on a large surface built into the table. The chefs try to do some tricks with flames and joke around with customers (but not disparagingly). This place has nice chefs but not as much fun as other hibachi places around town (though maybe for a business lunch I'd rather not have shrimp thrown at me). Food is just OK, kind of greasy and usually the smell sticks to your clothes.

    It was quite busy on a Friday night, but the wait is fairly short. If you want hibachi than you know what you're getting. The show and the smell of grease on your clothes. If you want sushi than you can sit at the bar. I had the Alaska Roll, it was ok. For $6.95 the six pieces were a bit on the small side. I also got the tempura shrimp, scallops, calamari and vegetables. The miso soup was really good. The salad was a salad but the Ginger-esque salad dressing was not good. There is so much ginger it's bitter. The presentation of the tempura was beautiful. I got 4 shrimp, 2 scallops and one calamari ring cut in half to be two. Then some broccoli, yams, and squash. Overall not bad, fairly crispy but light on the seafood. The atmosphere is fine, but again sitting within walking distance of the hibachi grill will leave you smelling like grease. The service for our table seemed slow, but the table next to us who had a different waitress seemed to constantly be getting attention.

    I came here with people from work a couple times. It was alright. The hibachi grill guy was a real smart ass. He took it too far with some of his anecdotes. It is good for the price and only came here because work people like it. On the second visit, the chef made a volcano out of an onion. That is always pretty cool to look at.

    Classic hibachi always delicious and comical. Nothing too spectacular here vs any other hibachi place. They are always a good time and the food stays consistent as well. Best part here is the desert. Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream is a must save room for.

    This place is a pretty standard, Benihana-type establishment. Food was average at best. If you live out here and it's nearby I suppose its worth it to pop in, but if you have to drive more than 10 minutes to get here it's not worth it.

    This is one of our favorite "celebration" restaurants. The kids (12 and 14) really enjoy watching the chefs cook. There is definitely a difference among the cooks in terms of entertainment value - I'd say about half the time we get a playful cook who really does a show. We've ordered nearly everything (not all in the same visit!) off the hibachi menu and have never been disappointed, although the salmon is not as good as the other choices. The servings are huge and we always bring home leftovers. We really enjoy the seating - if you wind up with others who are outgoing and talkative it can be a lot of fun to chat (and be prepared to chat, because the service can be slow). If you go at a popular time, be sure to make reservations! Overall, a good solid meal and great for kids.

    I'm admittedly a sushi-nut and have been fortunate to have eaten at some incredible sushi establishments over the years. This sushi is passable. We ate at the sushi bar and found our chef to be relatively new and not very warm, perhaps out of his insecurity since he went out of his way to say he was new which didn't instill a great deal of confidence in us. All that being said, he did fine and the quality of the product was average. The rest of the staff left a little bit to be desired - they were quick to argue in front of patrons but were timely and polite otherwise. If you're in a pinch and really want sushi, Akira will do fine but if you're looking for a real experience, keep looking.

    Not very good. Got the ahi tuna steak. Cooked until beyond dead (asked for rare). Very very very salty. Maybe the sushi is good. If I ever go back, I will order sushi. My friends got the chicken and described it as average. Also, the bus person refused to take either the soup or salad that were a. gross and b. essentially untouched from the table. I supposed they didn't think anyone would find either repulsive. Ok, the soup was very pretty.

    I love coming here as the food is consistently good and I always enjoy the hibachi experience. The service can be lacking some times.
