Akira Hibachi & Sushi

If you are looking for a sushi place that offers awesome service and fantastic food, AKIRA HIBACHI in Solon is not the place! Not once in my life have i ever encountered such a rude manager. She informed us that we were not allowed to order specific things on their generic and small menu. I was in a group of 8 people, who made reservations 2 weeks in advance, and it was upsetting to not be able to be satisfied at all. Being told that you are only allowed to order full meals for each person is crazy (if a customer doesn't order an entire meal, then they have to pay a $10 sitting charge!!!) I would never recommend this restaurant. The arrogant and rude owner doesn't know how to run a business or how to treat patrons correctly! Cons: SERVICE!!! more

Love this restaurant. The Hibachi chefs are a lot of fun, making this a good place to take the kids! more

Probably the best Japanese Steak House around. Benihana is good, but TOO corporate. I loved the ""hometown"" atmosphere at Akira, (new name for Shuhei Hibachi). The servers are friendly and the chefs are fun. The Seafood combination was outstanding and so was the N.Y. Strip, cooked perfect medium rare. The dipping sauces are the best. The sushi was good but takes too long if you are in the dining room. Sushi bar service is much faster. Good futomakis. Lunch at the teppan tables is the best buy in town. Pros: ample parking, great hibachi food. freindly staff Cons: slow sushi, overpriced liquor more

I enjoy teppanyaki (japanese steak house) style food. The ""show"" is not as important as the taste of the food. I had the seafood combination once and the steak and lobster next visit, Fantastic! Love the seafood sauce, the ginger sauce for the meat was also good. Sald dressing is awesome. The sushi and sashimi were good but make a seperate visit to enjoy them. I realize that sushi takes some time to prepare and the table cooking moves quick, which is why I usually go there for one or the other, not both on the same visit. The servers are nice but not very knowledgeable. Sharing a table is okay, but sometimes people can be a ""burden"" Lunch at a grill table is a GREAT value!!! Pros: good food, ample parking, friendly staff Cons: drink prices, close too early more

Shuhei is out and Akira is in. Akira has an atmosphere of a family restaurant that is exciting and fun. The lady that greeted us at the door was of extreme politeness and made us feel right at home. The entire experience at Akira Hibachi is one i will never forget. Pros: exciting, good atmosphere, generous people more
