Akira Ramen & Izakaya

Good food and good services. Even these were not authentic Japanese foods, I enjoyed the ramen and sashimi with reasonable price. I can see why this restaurant is popular and it stands up with its good reviews. As a visitor to Rockville, I enjoyed my dinner!

The food is not as it seems. The ramen we ordered had no flavor at all and they refused to switch it out or take it back. When I told the waiter that I didn’t like my food she told me “well that’s what you ordered” ??? It was the last hour until close and I feel like they just gave us whatever they had left —didn’t even wanna take our order. Even chain ramen like Jinya is 10x. Better than this ramen. They could care less that I didn’t like my food. My waiter just continued cleaning up. For me to get a very spicy ramen and for it to literally taste like water is actually insane. Noodles were to floury overall 0/10. If you like ramen do not come here.

Our go-to for sushi rolls (we love the King Dragon Roll) and the best gyoza in town, perfectly cooked and deliciously flavored. It's a nice place to eat in but also travels very well. If you order online for pickup, you earn points towards future meals.

This isn't the first time I've tried to write a review and post pics about this place. But each time I don't have time to take pictures as my family eats everything faster than I can remember. Doesn't that say a lot? Delicious food, large portions, fast service, adequate prices! What more do you need? They recently upgraded the furniture and now there is a corner for large company. Perfect for a family!

This place was such a pleasant surprise. We decided to play hooky and going on a midday date. My husband was suffering with some allergy issues and this was quite the remedy. We ordered the calamari (can’t remember the name on the menu but it’s fried squid), king dragon roll, spicy seafood ramen, and the fried chicken ramen. Everything was more than delicious! The calamari had a delicious, what I assume was, red pepper aioli sauce which was packed with flavor. The squid was fried to perfection and nice and hot! The sushi had SO much flavor I couldn’t believe it. Definitely one of the best dragon rolls I’ve ever had and the ramen was Sooogood! The Broth was amazing the noodles were very fresh and the seafood was just what I needed. I can’t wait to go back!

We had an amazing dinner with friends! The food was delicious, and the size of portions was good enough to feel full. Servants were very nice. Highly recommend this place.

Arguably the best ramen I’ve ever had. Only here for a few days but trying to convince my husband we need to go back. Service was phenomenal, food was fantastic. 10/10 experience

This is one of the two ramen place we’ll go to in the Rockville region. The ramens has the right texture and the broth is rich. Appetizers and other small dishes are good too. The restaurant is clean. Every dine-in customer is greeted warmly by the whole team when sit in.
