Akira Ramen & Izakaya

A nice find while passing through Bel Air. Service here was really good; our server, Will, was attentive and was able to answer a few questions about some menu items with familiarity. We did take some time order, but he was patient and ready when we were ready. We ordered salmon tempura, shrimp tempura, and mozzy sticks (deep fried everything, I know). Portions were fair for the price and flavorful. Presentation was nice; I can appreciate that they put the tempura rolls together, instead of bringing a bunch of small plates. Overall, the combination of good service, good food, and a fair price makes this place definitely worth visiting again. ★★★★★

We had a lunch for three today. We had a tuna sushi and Salmon sushi for starters. We also had three ramen noodles bowls and they were delicious! The staff was very friendly and checked in on us to make sure water was refilled, asked how our food was and cleaned up our table. They thanked us for coming as they bid us goodbye. Awesome experience!

My wife and I came here on a Sunday evening for a quick dinner. The employees were very kind and attentive. Our waiter took both our appetizer and entrée orders at the same time, something we usually do to save time. The food arrived quickly and was hot when served. I ordered the Volcano Ramen, Sexy Jalapeños, and Crystal Shrimp Dumplings. The dumplings were tasty, but the sauce that came with them really made the dish, a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The Sexy Jalapeños had good flavor, though the different textures and consistency could be a bit much after a few bites. The MVP was, of course, the ramen. The broth was hot and flavorful, and the toppings complemented it perfectly, adding a comfortable level of spiciness. The only downside was being seated by the door. If you’d lik

From start to finish, our lunch at Akira Ramen was absolutely exceptional! The atmosphere was cozy yet vibrant — beautifully decorated with Japanese art and a warm, inviting ambiance. We started with some light appetizers Gyoza, shrimp crystal dumpling and the Maryland Sushi Roll, that were fresh and full of flavor, followed by the main dishes that completely stole the show. The ramen was rich, perfectly seasoned, and layered with the kind of depth that only comes from a well-balanced broth. The toppings — from the tender pork belly to the corn, scallions, and marinated egg — complemented every bite. Everything was plated beautifully and served promptly, and the service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. If you’re in the Bel Air area and craving authentic Japanese com

I’ve Ben here a few times with my wife. I’ve tried their ramen sushi and karage don. Their karage chicken is the best so juicy and their food is fresh and tasty. You also should definitely try there karage buns as appetizer, it is very delicious. After eating so many times I decided to leave a review.
