Akira Ramen & Izakaya

I highly suggest getting the volcano Ramen if you like spicy. It has chashu pork, a soft, boiled egg, and other components in a Tonkatsu pork broth. I also got the Karaagdon which comes with miso soup. The fried chicken cutlet was crispy. The service was good. We got our food pretty fast. I would say the ambience is more of a fast casual place. They do offer a variety of Asian beers as well. Akira is located in the Canton Crossing shopping center, so there's plenty of parking.

Ugh. What a good place. I love the food here so much. The ramen is phenomenal and the sushi is stellar. The fish is so so fresh. I absolutely love their boba too! It's so creamy and not too sweet. The service is so good and the restaurant is so cozy and welcoming. This is definitely a reliable place to get great food at a good price.

I stopped by target and noticed Akira. I wanted a quick bite to eat but also something good. I checked out the menu and Akira offers a variety of items including sushi, shumai and ramen. I order the shrimp shumai, taro milk tea, tiger roll and the Hokkaido cheesecake. The shrimp shumai were delicious they also offer them in pork. I loved the tiger sushi roll, it is the chef's special cooked sushi roll. It comes with tempura shrimp, crab, avocado and spicy mayo. The staff were nice and my order took about 15-20 minutes. I would call ahead if you are tight on time. There is plenty of parking available.

My ramen was good and well made I would say. It's a small establishment inside so be alert that if seting inside is taken up you might have to sit outside. The service was a little slow at first for my boyfriend and I and the workers made our ordering process feel a little rushed. Which isn't really a huge concern! I still enjoyed my meal and there is plenty of parking in the front of the business so nothing to worry about there.

Love love love eating here. The menu has expanded greatly since they first opened, so there are a bunch of new things. I really need to try, but I'm also a creature of habit so I typically just order Akira Ramen. It comes out quickly just in case you're in a hurry, but even if you are take some time to save it and enjoy the flavor.

No chopsticks????All jokes aside I was under the weather and decided to get ramen to calm my symptoms. Akira is a spot I've been too and tried their ramen before but I haven't had their volcano ramen. I ordered It on Uber eats and It didn't come with chopsticks however the bowl still looks good and tasty The broth is delicious and the ramen came with all the fixings however I was missing seaweed. I will definitely try again

I had ramen for the first time ever yesterday. It was underwhelming. Everyone seems to love it and I felt as if it was just watery broth with tons of veggies... but no flavor? Luckily, they added some spice for me but, "eh." Sidenote: the veggies in my ramen weren't the cleanest. I don't think it is my jam, however, after looking at some of the reviews, this place seems to be more of a sushi spot than ramen? Again, I know nothing of ramen but luckily, I was able to try both ramen and sushi since my partner ordered three sushi rolls and couldn't finish--they were massive! He could barely get one piece in his mouth due to the size! I tried a piece and it was very fresh with the perfect amount of crunch. Staff wasn't the most attentive but due to the rainy day they were super busy with carryout orders.

Ayo, the food is good - don't get me wrong. The Akira Ramen and Taro Milk tea with boba were good. However, in terms of impressing me, it only goes so far.The Akira Ramen is exactly what you would expect from a tonkotsu ramen - delivering a rich pork broth with all the toppings that come with it. It was delicious of course - but not something I would write home about. Perhaps my bowl of ramen was the exception, but it felt like it was put together rather than crafted. The quality of the ingredients and the home stretched noodles were outstanding, but there's a level of care that was missing from this bowl of ramen. The taro milk tea boba was on point though - perfectly sweetened with appropriately chewy tapioca balls. The FOH service was quick and efficient. They attended to all our needs quickly and exercised great professionalism.The ambiance was definitely cultural - they take their decor and architectural arrangements with great pride.Overall, this place is somewhere you'd go if you get the ramen itch and you don't want to drive 30 minutes out of Baltimore. Akira Ramen & Izakaya is quality and a reliable Japanese spot in Baltimore.

LAX and sushi type of night. AJ held her self in defense and wanted to finish the night with ramen. We've been looking forward to Akira for a while. Dining area a little tight but we managed to fit us all. We were seated instantly. I was jamming to the music playing. Good music =good vibes. Ramen dishes were vibrant with color. Tasty because Court and Adrianna finished their Ramen. The homemade lemonade was fresh. The chicken fried rice was delectable. And sushi pieces were made just right. Def worth the wait. Double Thumbs up !!

Picked up a few different menu items for takeout including the pork bun appetizer, tuna avocado sushi roll, miso soup, and beef ramen ($19!!!). For being a place that specializes in ramen, I expected the ramen to be much better than it was for $19. I was not impressed with the broth at all or the amount of toppings included. To add extra toppings there a big up charge and I think that is unreasonable considering the high price of the dish. The miso soup and sushi roll were good, but Mizu down the street it better for a better price. Also, the pork bun was okay but definitely not worth ordering in comparison so other buns I've had. I hate to post such a negative review but we will not be eating here again due to the quality you get for the high prices. Posting 3 stars because it was okay, just not worth the price whatsoever.
