    My husband and I were in NYC on business and Akura was only a few blocks from our subway stop and our meeting. We were surprised to see it was highly rated and decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed!! This restaurant on the Upper East Side looks unassuming but the quality, service and prices were all excellent. We started with pan fried gyoza and fried shumai. Not every restaurant offers fried shumai and I prefer it to steamed shumai, which sometimes has a slimy texture on the outside. Both appetizers were some of the best I've ever had, crispy, fresh and delicious. I ordered the lunchbox special with beef teriyaki. I couldn't believe the portion for the price. A lot of places make you choose soup or salad. This came with both, along with a California roll, white rice, some veggies, steamed shumai and the protein -- a choice of teriyaki chicken, beef or salmon. You could also order a sushi or sashimi lunch box for a bit more. The ginger dressing tasted fresh and delicious, with just a little spice. My husband ordered California rolls and spicy tuna rolls, also a lunch special. He said it was the best spicy tuna he's ever had! Akura is a bit off the beaten path for places we normally visit in Manhattan but we may just have to come back! Downside? No alcohol but you could bring your own with no corkage fee if you wanted. They served water, soda and even hot tea in stainless steel tumblers. I liked them for cold beverages but it was a bit odd for green tea. Not a dealbreaker at all - but interesting enough that I noticed! I kinda want the same glasses for my house as they kept drinks nice and cold! Very friendly staff, quick service - well deserving of 5 stars.

    I went for a quick dinner with my cousin and sister on a Tuesday night, and you don't need a reservation! We got the Akura Special (for two) and a three roll maki set to share and it was plenty of food! The service is amazing - they always go above and beyond and the owners are lovely! They also give a free appetizer when you sit down, we each got a bowl of miso soup! Would definitely recommend and would go again in the UES!

    W sushi and W service! 100% recommend and don't forget the kani salad fireeeeeee you should gooooooo and try ittttttttttttt
