Akira Sushi Bar | Athens Japanese Restaurant

A hidden gem. The best sushi I had in awhile. The restaurant partner of the shop was so nice. We came at closing time still they served, brought everything very fast and made sure we are set and don’t need anything before they leave .. even though we ate fast and left earlier than their closing time.

The sushi is absolutely delicious! I really recommend this place. The girl working here is such a beautiful and kind person 🍀she takes care of everything and makes the experience even better🌸

Great place for truly tasty japanese food. The service was kind and accommodating. Seafood feels fresh and doesn't lose its taste like those frozen ones. I suggest you try the Akira rolls and the crab salad!

I must say, Akira Japanese Restaurant is the very best sushi restaurant in all of Athens and all of Greece. I have tried over a dozen sushi restaurants during my stays in Greece and there is nothing close to the perfection you will find at Akira. This is my favorite food so I have tried sushi everywhere I’ve traveled including Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Buenos Aires. Akira is among my favorites all over the worlds and is now my only sushi stop in Athens. The restaurant operates under the direction of Konstantine and Carlos. You will see them throughout your dining experience providing coaching to the sushi chefs. Let me tell you, their sushi chefs are among the best you will see in the world, however, this is the level of perfection you will receive from Akira. Its owners take great pride in every bite you will savor, every cut of the fish, every presentation of each roll or item you order. Let’s start with the Maguro (Tuna). It is so delicious, savory and sweet. Plus they know how to serve sashimi, always cutting to perfection along the scale so you only get perfect succulent meat that melts as you chew it slowly. Their Signature Maki are also so creative and unique. You are sure to find a roll you’ve never seen before that blows your mind. Of all the places I have been, the Tachi Roll for me was my favorite here and is the best seared filet beef I’ve ever tasted in a Maki. I also have had the Kakashi, Kani, Maguro Roll, and Akira roll. All of them excellent! In addition, they have amazing salads, appetizers (I recommend the Steamed Buns of your preference), and excellent wine and beer pairings. I rarely write reviews, but the experience at Akira Restaurant is extraordinary and required my positive feedback to be shared with all of Athens and all of the world travelers looking for the best sushi in the world! Try this place and please tell Konstantine and Carlos hello for me when you visit and wish him my best! He’s sure to give you his very best with every visit! Cheers!!

This restaurant was one of the best if not the best meal I had while in Athens! Impeccable service & the food was absolutely delicious! They clearly take pride in both their craft and customer service and they hit a homerun! I will miss this restaurant and I'm very jealous of the locals that get to eat here! From the appetizers to the desert is was SO DELICIOUS!!!!!!!
