Service was excellent - multiple servers checked in on us, were patient with me deciding what to order, and they were kind and quick. The sushi donut was delicious - messy to eat but the taste was great and it's reasonable priced at $7-8 per donut. It's not huge so 1 probably not enough for a meal. The ramen is super customizable - you can change any noodle type, broth, spice level. Broth didn't blow me away but it was still tasty. We really enjoyed the chicken karaage and spicy mayo that came with the ramen. Downside - the restaurant smelled heavily of moth balls. Perhaps they use them for pest prevention or it's their cleaning solution? Kyoto matcha next door smelled the same way. Restaurant is very cutely decorated. Parking is in downtown Towson so a little tricky depending on time of day. read more

My daughters and I stopped by this restaurant on a weekday afternoon to get lunch. It's located in the center of Towson's major shopping areas on Joppa road. The customer service was efficient and friendly. They had a nice variety of dishes. I enjoyed most of the food however I didn't care for the ramen itself. I prefer a darker beef soup/base for my ramen and there wasn't an option on the menu. Would I go again? Yes but I'd skip the Ramen so what's the point. read more

My fiancé and I went to Akira for sushi, but discovered they have such an expansive menu. I definitely want to come back to try out their ramen and rice dishes. I loved the decorations and the ambiance of the restaurant. Service was also great -- friendly, attentive, and helpful. We ordered the Love Roll and Baltimore roll. I didn't love the Love Roll, but that might have been on me because it had too much raw fish. The Baltimore roll was delicious! An explosion of flavor and textures!! read more

Looking for a cozy spot to grab a delicious meal in Towson? Akira Ramen is such a hidden gem, and I had a good time visiting with one of my good girlfriends. We started with their Strawberry Milk Tea and Brown Sugar Boba -- both perfect sips For starters, the steamed pork gyoza and yellowtail jalapeño were simple but packed with flavor. We also shared the karaage bao bun, plus a few sushi rolls -- the Hollywood Roll and Ocean King Roll ended up being our favorites. One dish you don't want to miss is the udon noodles with fried rice and grilled shrimp... seriously so comforting. And of course, I had the sliced beef ramen -- warm, flavorful, and cozy. A little insider tip: Hibachi is now available at the Towson location -- a perfect excuse to try something new.

Absolutely love this spot! As soon as you walk in, the restaurant is very clean and has the cutest decor. Everyone here is so nice and the food comes out so quick! I have enjoyed everything I've gotten from here, if you try their ramen you gotta get the udon noodles! They are so chewy and delicious. Their shrimp dumplings were fresh, sushi was flavorful (Godzilla roll is a 10/10), and their Karaage Don chicken was so crispy! If you're looking for a spot that does it all, you gotta check them out. read more

So I was craving some ramen and Akira had great reviews so me and my mom slid on over there. We were greeted properly by the robots at the door. The decor was your typical ramen spot. They had a great lunch special that included a sushi roll or a side. Me and mom dukes both got the shrimp tempura ramen. The difference was the broth. I got the pork broth and my mom got the vegetable broth. The vegetable broth was the winner hands down. I wanted to drink all of the broth. I also got the fried chicken as an extra side and California roll. I got my grub on and my mom was extremely happy. I would definitely come back as it was delicious. read more

The ramen was good but I wish the service was a tad bit better. They have robots now to serve, which is to no fault on them to expedite things but it really removes the human "service" aspect. The place was decorated nicely and it was clean! read more

I love my experience here--the spicy Akira Ramen was delicious. The broth was very flavorful and had a lot of good fresh ingredients and I loved the little crab meat pockets. They were so good the Yaki udon noodles I had it with steak. It was the perfect combination of flavor and the texture was great. The Thai milk tea with Boba was delicious. I loved it 10 out of 10. I also love the takoyaki it was a bit too soft for my liking, but I but it was still good. It's just not what I'm used to. I also enjoy that this location in Towson have a hibachi and I got the shrimp hibachi with it had like broccoli carrots steamed rice and Yum Yum sauce --it was delicious. Definitely will come here again. Customer service was great. They had the cute little robots that bring your food to the table and the environment is pretty. read more

Very tasty! I have not tried a lot of Ramen yet but this was very approachable. They also have the sushi donut which is such a fun way to do sushi! It was delicious with a mix of four different toppings- I chose tuna, shrimp, mango and avocado. The restaurant itself was pretty quiet and had spaced out tables. And they have a cat robot for serving which always makes me smile! read more

I went back to that restaurant with my coworker for a business lunch. The good thing is that the service has improved a lot. They replaced the young waiter with a waitress, so the service was much better this time. The restaurant was also pretty busy, with a lot of people dining there. read more

I think this is a great spot with incredible service. The food is amazing. I tend to get the same thing which is Katsu And I like to pair it with Thai tea without Boba. The ambience is cute and aesthetic. read more

Went to Akira in Towson for date night with wifey and daughter. We parked across the street at Towson Town Center. We were seated in a booth after a short wait. Very busy for Friday night. We shared the Baltimore Sushi Roll and we all ordered the Akira Volcano Ramen. The sushi roll was fresh and very tasty. Tuna portions were generous. Love the jalapeno. The ramen came out on the robot server. It was spot on. Broth was hot and spicy. Noodles were perfectly cooked. But the star was the chashu. It was melt in your mouth tender and had a nice BBQ flavor. Akira definitely ranks at the top among my favorite ramen eateries. read more

This was not an in person visit this is based off of a door dash order so just note if I were to ever try them again this review could change. So I can't not speak on the ambiance or the service itself. I just wanted to small lunch so I ordered a few things from door dash. I got a Akira salad, fried chicken bun, Philadelphia roll and a spicy tuna roll. The only thing I enjoyed was the Philadelphia roll. The fried chicken buns had no flavor and I mean none. They don't have no seasoning on the pieces of chicken. The sauce did not help enough. The salad was lettuce, tomato with a cucumber, standard for that type of Asian salad however the ginger dressing was not good to me. It was way too sweet and I was not a fan of their spicy tuna roll. Would I give them another try and order an actual entree or different sushi rolls, yes possibly. read more

LOVE THE RAMEN!!! and what's extra cool is the ramen is delivered by a ROBOT. My cousin loves it. If you go, also try the karagge chicken... chefs kiss. They are so nice, one time they even gave us some free desserts which were so good, like ice cream and cake; they were delicious. My sister loves their boba and I like the lemonade. The strawberry Milk tea is also one of our favorites. Sometimes they have anime playing on the TV which we really think is cool. read more

A real gem among the many food selections in Towson. This new spot has lots of highlights. It's location on the Circle across from Towson Tavern has convenient parking in the lot under the Circle. Very friendly and professional staff, including Kitty food carrying robot. Fresh, top quality food from Ramen to Sushi - great selection, good portions, beautiful presentation. I have eaten here several times with family members and we've had a variety of offerings. No disappointments. Added bonus, they're connoting the Japanese Desert spot next door. Order from your table or go over and pick from their yummy choices. BTW - outdoor seating. read more

Fire food, cheap, and great service. The ramen is especially good and the sushi is spectacular.

Food was great. The seafood Ramen was excellent but the service left me sad. We were left without water for a long time. In addition we were going to order desert but they took too long that we did not . I pulled out my credit card to try to get attention for our check. I read more

The worst ramen I have ever eaten. I got the veggie ramen for takeout. Paid extra for an egg. Got the egg but there was nothing in ramen. The noddles were not curly as it was stated in the description. Only corn..no other vegetables and no tofu. The broth was just what you get in a miso soup. I could have made a better ramen at home. read more

The Canton location is much better than the Towson location. I used to love ordering the vegetable ramen downtown, but it was bland and flavorless at this location. Gyoza sauce had little flavor as well. Parking can be tough due to its location on a side street. There is a garage close by but I'm not sure if it's free or not. Otherwise, it's paid street parking. read more

This place is a great addition to Towson. The food is delicious, service is quick and courteous. We had pretty much everything on the appetizer menu and the Japanese pancake stood out. The volcano ramen hit the spot. According to my husband, his eel rice dish was the best thing he ate that night (I didn't try it) and my 6yr old agreed. I had leftover Akita ramen the next night and it was still great! Must visit. read more

This place was AMAZING! Sushi and ramen! Both were super good! The ramen was sooooooooooo soul soothing and the sushi was super fresh. Will definitely be going back!!! read more

We have been here multiple times. But tonight we had a terrible experience. I told them I was going to write a bad review and they didn't care. So that itself is a clear sign this place is poorly managed. Don't go here. They seated a party of 12 likely grad students in a booth as well as in extra tables extending from the booth immediately behind my family of four. And this is the type of low-end inside construction where the booths connect, so if someone bumps the booth behind, you feel it hard. How stupid can you possibly be? Everyone working here is practically a kid- I assume the host learned front of the house management from a YouTube video. The party of 12 was extremely loud, kicking the booth repeatedly. And some of them ordered fake meals like a bowl of ice cream or a cucumber roll, so they didn't even spend much money. We put our orders in before the party of 12. But it still took ridiculously long for my wife to get her sushi. In fact her meal of sloppy looking sushi didn't come until after my kids and I had finished our ramen. So she watched us eat and then had to pick at slop sushi by herself. We brought up these issues multiple times. They responded, "Yes, you're right. I'm sorry" multiple times but never comped anything. They didn't even comp our three cans of soda or provide free scoops of ice cream. Plus the party of 12 blocked the open area, so we didn't get the robot. The only reason to really come here is the robot. They were "sorry" about that too. $120 for an awful experience. We're fortunate that we are able to afford screw up like this. But for some people this would be a really big expense. Not at all worth it. Ever. I told them at the end I was going to write a bad review. They said again "I'm sorry" but never tried to stop me. Just stupid. read more

Fantastic food ( we had Sushi but Rsnen looked yummy)and fun robot food delivery to the table! Our server was great.
