Akira Bistro

The servers are all super friendly! Food sometimes is hit or miss. The place is located at one of the crossroads of the iron horse and a nice stroll if you choose you want some steps before or after dinner. I have been going here for a while and didn't realize that there was a happy hour menu for Mon - Thurs from 4-6pm. It was a nice surprise when we got there early one day.

Had a wonderful lunch here today with friends. Lunch combos are delicious with tons of options. Soup and salad included in lunch. Food was fresh with generous portions. Services were also very good

Friendly staff. So we walk in after walking around downtown mountain view which street is close off for blocks so very kid safe. Parking around this restaurant was very easy on a Sunday afternoon. We got 3 dishes for $45 plus steam rice. Ok the clay pot beef and salt and pepper spare ribs were delicious. The shrimp and vegetables dish was Ok. Maybe if it had some heat to it. ( spicier)

A few friends and I had lunch here about a week ago. We enjoyed the delicious food.The waiter helped open the door for me as I have a disability.

Been coming here almost regularly once a week for the last three weeks or so. Probably now one of my most favorite Japanese restaurants. They have an extensive menu but on top of that, the portions are big. Like the price may be a bit high but with the amount of food they give you, it makes sense. The photos are from multiple outings but my favorite roll has to be their Lion King roll. Outside of that the Saba Shioyaki has to be one of my favorites. It's so good. Also, their service is amazing. The waitresses and waiters are all super nice and incredible. Please be patient when things get busy but on the off hours, they're super friendly. The inside ambiance is your average restaurant. Not too loud, not too quiet. However, fair warning if you're seated outside, passing vehicles and motorcyclists may get really loud. I just tend to prefer sitting inside. But definitely check out this place, I love it.

Akira is phenomenal. It's very beautiful inside and service is so great, they're very attentive and never let an empty plate sit on the table. Highly recommend the garlic edamame and teryaki salmon, I love coming for lunch and getting a bento box. The only downside is that I live about 35 minutes away so I can't come as much as I want!

So, this review is all about the food since we ordered takeout.My 4-year-old had been pestering me for sushi for weeks, but we couldn't find a good spot in the area. Then I stumbled upon Akira, and their rolls looked promisingly similar to our favorite spot in San Ramon before it closed down. So, we decided to give it a shot and ordered three rolls.Overall, not bad. Two out of the three were really tasty.The lion king roll stood out with its flavorful unagi sauce and fresh salmon topped with roe--it hit the spot.My personal favorite was the Danville roll--it had a satisfying crunch on the outside and a delicious mix of spicy tuna, avocado, and shrimp inside. They added a touch of mayo on the outside, giving it a sweet and spicy kick. Although, next time, I'd ask them to hold the mayo, as we wanted one roll that was purely spicy. This roll reminded me of a spinach tuna tempura roll.Our least favorite roll / the Flaming Dragon. It wasn't bad by any means but it just had way too much cucumber so that overpowered the taste of everything else. Considering they survived a 15-minute drive from the restaurant to our home, these rolls held up pretty well. Next time, though, we'll definitely dine in to enjoy them fresh!

Happy Hour is great at the bar, and menu has a few selections to fill a quick craving for sushi, in the lovely town of Danville.

This is one of my favorite Sushi Bars in town. The fish is so fresh and never old. The food is prepared very well, very professional, great presentation, and ALWAYS fresh. The have inside seating as well as outdoor patio. They have a sushi bar as well for indoor seating. Akira has a full bar and of course a fine Saki menu. Some of my favorite things on the menu would have to be: The 49er roll The Cherry Blossom roll The Spider RollThe Lion King Roll ShashiGyoza Shrimp Fried RiceThe have a variety of options on their menu, not only sushi, but noodles, and different types of rice, and selective meat choices. I highly recommend this restaurant for a romantic evening, sushi with the family, or grabbing one of their lunch Bento Boxes while working. The waitresses are very welcoming and they are great with take out orders! The ambiance is fun and very family oriented! The have a full bar with Saki of course , and it's a downtown Danville favorite !

When you're craving sushi and just need to get a fix, this is the place for you. Open until 2:30 pm so can easily accommodate a late lunch. Maybe it's been a long time since I've been to a standard sushi place serving American style rolls, but a lot of them have the same base fish: spicy tuna, imitation crab, etc. the topping may be different, but a lot of the base rolls start out the same. So not the place to go if you're craving variety, but works in a pinch!Large space so can hold a large party. Private parking lot so that's a bonus for parking!
