Always amazing, still amazing. The kids got to feed the fish and house some edamame, shrimp shumai, ikura sashimi, and pink lady rolls. My wife and I did dome damage on the rest of the rolls. Great staff, great food, it's our go-to local sushi spot. If you haven't been you should go. You can do sushi/full menu in front or back. The back has the hibachi tables and that's always a fun mix to throw in a show with your meal. read more

Akira - Yum! Flyers roll, striper roll, pink lady, and Shogun with soy, and some ikura sashimi and white rings sashimi. So so good. - Japanese Near Me - Moorestown, New Jersey

I'm generally a strict grader. If you are making something simple, good is expected and you aren't getting more than an average rating. So, why five stars? Because this place is special in the post-Covid high inflation world of 2026. Prices actually match portions and presentation. Rare today. Spider roll, Uni, octopus, perfect and plentiful. I've been ordering a bit on the heavy side because portions have been smallish lately but not here. I simply couldn't finish the two rolls I ordered. Only negative was three out of 6 dishes placed on the table were chipped. A bit of a pet peeve of mine but I was so shocked by how good the food was that I didn't nock a star off. read more

Good sushi and hibachi. Shrimp was better than chicken. Soup and salad were great. Good fried rice.

We have been to Akira frequently over the years and it is consistently good! I love the koi pond they have in the restaurant! The employees are so friendly and efficient! We went in today for lunch and both got the lunch special of 2 rolls for $13. I had the shrimp avocado roll and Philadelphia roll. Both of them had extremely fresh ingredients and tasted great! The lunch special also comes with a soup or salad. I had the salad and my fiancée had the miso soup, both are a nice starter. We really enjoy Akira sushi and will be back again soon! read more

The food was really excellent and delicious you chefs did an amazing job and your squid sashimi was delicious plus your staff was really nice read more

We went here for a friend's 32nd birthday last week. They were able to accommodate all 17 of us around a hibachi table. When I tell you that the service was QUICK and EFFICIENT, I mean it. Usually hibachi is a long drawn out process. Not here. Those of us who ordered appetizers received them in 5-10 minutes or less. We had to cooks prepare the hibachi. They knocked out the food within 20 minutes- even for a large group of people! The food itself was incredible. The fried rice was to die for- had a buttery taste to it that just enhanced the flavor. My steak was prepared as ordered. Since it was my friends birthday, they not only sang happy birthday, but had a gong going as well. Overall, this was a great, lively experience. We will be returning on our own for a hibachi meal! read more

Akira - Hibachi Filet Mignon and Scallops - Japanese Near Me - Moorestown, New Jersey

Very disappointing, jammed into a 4 seat table that people had to squeeze by all the time ( I guess someone had to sit there) greeted quickly , and got our drinks , then they took our order, then we waited and waited, no one came back to the table and told us anything.. We could see two of our meals about ten feet away just sitting there in the seating area . My wife finally got someone's attention and he responded quickly and within minutes we had our meals . We'll try again , maybe the had an off night. read more

Got a tray of sushi for take out and everything was delicious. Everything tasted fresh. The sushi is reasonably priced. Outdoor seating is available. The boss is very nice! I came around 6:30PM and it was very busy, but service was quick. There was a steady traffic of people picking up their takeout orders. read more

This was my first time here, but I'll surely be back. The restaurant is cute and has a bit fancier decor. A great date spot. Service was great and they were very friendly. They also kept the table clean by removing old plates as we ate. The food came out fast! Prices were a bit high. The miso soup was only $3, but for beef fried rice it was $16 which was quite high. However, the food was excellent. The shrimp tempura roll was the best I have ever had! It had a nice crunch on the outside of the shrimp, more so than other places I've gotten this type of roll from. The king crab roll had delicious crab inside - real crab not imitation. However there was nothing else in the roll so it was a bit boring, but still tasty nonetheless. I can't wait to come back here! read more

I wanted hibachi and this place doesn't disappoint. I ordered yuzu tuna for the appetizer and it was very delicious. The perfect balance of tuna, avocado, and black tobikko. Also I got toro, sweet shrimp, and salmon for sushi and sashimi. They were also very good for the price. As for hibachi, I got beef and scallop. The meal also comes with fried rice and vegetables. The meat and the vegetables were well seasoned. The food came out at a reasonable time and I enjoyed the food very much. I will come back again! read more

This sushi restaurant is located right in downtown Moorestown. It's a pretty decent size restaurant and a variety of selections. It is a BYOB. I came here later towards closing (only like 1.5 hours before closing) and the waiter was nice. I got the Samurai Roll and paired it with miso soup. I definitely would come here again! read more

I love the experience of hibachi, especially when it's a special occasion. The chef always gets the table laughing and provides a common experience to bring strangers together. Came for my son's birthday and we all had a great time. The food was pretty standard hibachi fare ( rice, meats, veggies) that was well prepared and grilled perfectly. Will return to try the sushi on another day. Friendly service from all staff members. read more

Went out for a nice Thursday night dinner. Hibachi was good. We ordered Sesame chicken, an off the menu item, and it was delicious.

This was a difficult review to write. Service was good. California roll was outstanding and very fresh. The hibachi veggies were very fresh. The steak was delicious. The fried rice was gross. The soup had no flavor and the salad dressing wasn't good. So half of the meal I would give a 5 and the other a 2. But I really need to find a hibachi with good fried rice. read more

Took my son and family out , we wanted hibachi and read all the good reviews for Akira. Booked party of 7. Our waiter Homen was very nice and patient. Our cook was awesome, kept the whole dinner party entertained. Best part it is BYOB. Family loved it and we will be returning. read more

Akira has the best sushi! Everything was fresh and portions were generous. Little pricey but you get what you pay for. My family and I enjoyed our dinner and will certainly return. Tempura green tea ice cream was DELICIOUS! Ambiance was nice, staff was friendly and food was out quickly. Didn't feel like we were being rushed out. And it is BYOB which is another positive. Spring rolls were great and all the sushi was delightful. Looking forward to returning soon! read more

Solid day in and day out!!! This is the benchmark for hibachi and sushi as well as service! This is a staple for a Date night out of the city or if you live in town!!! read more

Came in on a quiet Monday afternoon. Got the lunch special bento box with pork katsu. Came in around 2:57, was asked to check time (since the lunch cutoff was 3) For the food... I thought it was okay overall The portion was generous, but the pork katsu was dry and I had a sticker on my orange slices when it came out (it's kind of hard to miss--see photo). Everything else was pretty good (cali roll, shumai, rice, sauce). read more

Celebrated a graduation here for dinner. We were a party of 13 and the restaurant was able to accommodate. The restaurant takes reservations but keep in mind space is limited. The server was nice and the food came out quickly. I ordered the chicken and shrimp entree; it was delicious. Some tips: there is parking in a lot and on the street. The prices are reasonable and the restaurant is kid friendly. read more

Good local sushi. Everything is fresh the restaurant is always clean and the servers are friendly. Akita won't blow your socks off but if you want good solid quality sushi without traveling it's great!! read more

Filthy dirty hibachi grease leaking from vent falling on cook top ripped old dirty chairs they served yellow mustard on a plate of shrimp shumai the sushi is good the front part of the restaurant is nice . The filet was under seasoned the fried rice was gross swing and a miss won't be back read more

The experience was amazing ! My wife took me and the kids there for lunch on my birthday last week. The food was delicious! The kids had a great time . Perfect place for families , it's intimate while not being quiet. We got the chicken , shrimp and filet mignon hibachi lunch .The customer service was amazing. As we were getting ready to leave ,my 3 year old was overheard saying "Happy Birthday Daddy." And the bus boy arranged for them to sing happy birthday and brought me a dessert. I've passed past this place thousands of times but I will definitely be back. The experience was so great and engaging I forgot to take pictures! read more

was very disappointed in a recent take out order, the quality of the food was subpar, the prices were higher than the website menu, and there was plastic wrap in the sushi roll. . . one and done read more

The 1rst time I was here we had the hibachi which was fine. I'm not the biggest fan of that kind of dinner entertainment, but it's useful for entertaining people who don't really like Japanese food. Since then I've been back a few times and it's been better each time. Our appetizers were delicious; the chirashi was lovely and fresh. read more

I really liked it there, the atmosphere is great and the food is delicious. We will definitely go there.

Their hibachi is the best hibachi I have ever tasted. The waiters and waitresses are always so nice, and never fail to come back and check on how the table is doing. The hibachi tables are always so much fun, and even the sit-down dining area is very enjoyable, with the Buddha and koi fish pond. I love it here and it never fails to disappoint. I would always recommend this restaurant to someone. read more

Wife and I are intolerant to gluten. Ordered GF lo mien. Took it home, had gluten free sticker on the box. Started eating it but tasted different than we know. Called and found out that they gave us gluten, despite the gluten free sticker. We're lucky we don't react as strongly as others but it's dangerous. Additionally as the cherry on top, the sushi we got was not good. Bummer of an experience. read more

We used to love taking the family here but things change fast. Not clean looking and the Hibachi chefs looked disinterested.

Superb quality and flavors! Accurate take out Never an issue Especially enjoy the fresh sushi as appetizer and any hibachi combination! read more

We go for sushi at least once a month. Recently had a hibachi party (14 people, 4 were kids under 12). It was AMAZING. Watching the kids' faces and reactions was pure happiness. The staff were so helpful. There were two other parties going on at the same time and it didn't affect our party at all! Class act all the way! and the Price was reasonable. Food --- Delicious! read more

Really good spot for hibachi. I haven't had sushi there but it looked very good. There is a sushi bar in the front and hibachi in the back. Located in downtown Moorestown, it's very accessible to neighboring towns and there is parking in the back, so you don't have to worry about street parking. The food: shrimp was incredible, steak was a bit over cooked but seasoned so well. Chicken was perfect and the fried rice was excellent! Will absolutely be coming back! read more

Really tried to like it. Read all the positive reviews. The staff were really nice. But.... when we wanted to order the sushi the waiter told us it will take 20 minutes. It actually took about an hour. For very basic rolls. And they were very very small.... Another issue that bothered us was that the Men toilets was also the Women toilets... unacceptable! Staff were nice though. read more

Pricey but the best sushi in the area for sure. Eat in was a great option before the pandemic- the restaurant is beautiful. Now they still offer takeout and delivery, and you can pay over the phone to limit contact. All of the workers wear masks when preparing your food. The akira roll is my favorite, and the salmon avocado roll is so fresh its hard to tell the salmon apart from the avocado- they're both so buttery. read more
