AVOID Blaa....I still have bad taste in my mouth from the stale panko bread crumbs they've used for my tempura (for some strange reason they put onions and carrots in it, not your typical tempura ingredients). My row sushi was not the freshest, but thankfully didn't smell yet, so I hope to survive this meal. Bad food and very overpriced - charging $3 for a tea bag with hot water? Not sure what to think about all the good reviews they've got. All in all, if you prefer fresh ingredients - AVOID THIS PLACE. Just saw one of the ... read more
Don't judge the unneccessary details. – I am so happy that I was able to find this restaurant through groupon. However, when I first arrived, I was not impressed because the ambiance and the decor of the restaurant is very plain, and old. However, the place was packed! We had reservations for 7o'clock but had to wait a little bit to be seated. Thank god our table was near the front of the restaurant because I felt bad for those that were seated next to the entrance with the door that constantly opened and closed with people ... read more
Lousy service, bad food, wife got sick, high prices – First off, you're packed in like rats, and this place is loud (there was some kind of banging in the kitchen for a while on top of the loud environment). Some people with a kid came in behind us, the kid hit the chinese wall/screen and nearly knocked it down onto the tables. They said that a table would be a minute - so 10 minutes later we and the people behind us were ready to walk out, and then they seated us - that should have been the first clue. The service was EXTRE... read more
the older resturant was way better – the owners of this resturant bought out a former place (can't remember the name) that served the best chicken salad sandwiches. people must still come back all the time asking for them since when i walked in yesterday and asked about them the co-owner (female - not sure if she is Akira or Kelly) got really irritated. my family and i ate at 153 a few years ago and at that time they had kept the sandwiches on the menu (probably to maintain a customer base). We have not been back since for o... read more
The best food I've ever had. – I've been looking for good Japanese restaurant. One of my Japanese friend recommended 153 Akira before, but I didn't have chance to visit. I read the reviews and last review made me reluctant, but I decided to give it a try. As soon as I saw the restaurant, I fell in love. It was very cozy and friendly atmosphere. And the owner, Kelly and Akira was super nice and most of all, the food was excellent quality. I loved the freshness of the sushi and my kids loved the tempura udon. They even gave me... read more
Not a good experience – Eh, I've had better. So we decided to venture to a new restaurant, boy did we have an adventure. The food took super long to be served. Seriously forever (the place wasn't even that busy). Not only that, there were numerous times that we heard screaming coming from the kitchen, which bothered our dinner conversations throughout the evening. It was chaotic, I sensed it as I am sure the other patrons did as well. When we finally received our dinners, we were not thoroughly impressed. Definitely not wort... read more
just ok. – Initially heard of the restaurant from the coupon that was sent to my home. However, after doing some online research I was curious about their establishment seeing 12 reviews of 5 stars. Walking in, we were greeted by everyone that worked there which was nice, but too loud and obnoxious for my taste. We were then seated, and given an extensive menu, however, when I asked our server about some details of menu items, she seemed unable to explain what the dishes were apart from the descriptions on the menu, plus I c... read more
The reviews are on point! – This place is on the money. If you love fresh thick cut sashimi, this is the place to go. They have this amazing sashimi platter that is so vibrant and beautiful you almost dont want to eat it. From beginning to end our server was extremely helpful and made our dining experience wonderful. They gave us a complimentary fish dish that was amazing to start off our night. I ordered a special roll that was not in seaweed. I have never seen a roll without seaweed so i tried it and it was delicious. A bi... read more
Delicious Food – I love the udon soups. The one particular soup I ordered was served in a hot crock with a lot of seafood, vegetables and noodles. By far, it is the best Japanese soup I've had in the area. It beats Royin, Evanston, in my book.
