About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
At AKIBA, we’re inspired by the informal and exciting atmosphere of great food halls and dining rooms throughout the East-Asia region. The food showcases the many styles of Asian barbecue, raw bar and modern day Dim Sum, and demonstrates a dazzling array of fresh flavours. Cooked over live fuel of wood and charcoal, AKIBA makes the most of our local produce. It’s a delight for fans of the great tradition of barbecue while staying true to fresh and light Asian flavours. Our unique menu compliments the exotic cocktail and drinks list. It’s the perfect match for a fun, fast paced dining experience that is not to be missed!

    Only small issue is that I prefer chairs/stools with backs on them

    We felt very rushed. They sat us at 7:30 and told us there was another booking at 9pm. Food came fast and there was no room on the table for all of it. Once the food arrived we didn’t see our server again. WNted to order second round d of drinks but couldn’t, due to lack of service. Rushed experience and not happy.

    This place is amazing but it is wise to book at least a week ahead as it is usually booked out. We had the kingfish sashimi, salt and pepper squid, kobe beef, miso eggplant with steamed rice and every dish was superb. With a Japanese beer each the cost for 4 was $45 pm. Excellent value and quality.

    We were disappointed with the service at Akiba. We ordered drinks and food within 15 minutes of arriving, and when our final dish was delivered we were advised that we had to leave within 15 minutes due to another booking. We had also ordered a bottle of wine and were some how expected to consume that within the 15 minutes. Very disappointing.
