   We went for our anniversary and had a great time. We did the omakase menu (not cheap), but it was a fun experience working with our server and the chef to design a meal we would enjoy. The tuna pizza, toro tartar, octopus, scallops, and fish in beurre bland were our favorites. Worth trying for a special night out.

   Everything was great ! The only issue was the music was so loud that we could not always hear the waiter and the explanation of food nor each other in our party of 5.

   This was a fantastic dining experience. Our group didn’t know what to expect and went in thinking it was the same “order your dish and eat” restaurant. Boy we’re we wrong. While you can go that route, we chose to do the tasting menu experience, and our server Michael asked us a few preference questions then he and the chef curated us a menu based on our inputs. It was incredible, even one of our party that did not like raw fish enjoyed everything. The food was fantastic, each dish building on the last. Michael was incredibly knowledgeable (as was the rest of the staff, specifically about the Sake) and we were all left feeling like we’d have a wonderful experience versus just a meal.

    Where do I begin? From the moment we walked in, this place amazed us. The greeting to immediate seating with reservation. Then, our waiter was amazing and gave us great recommendations. We had the Greatest Hits, which was $125/person. It was an 8-course dining experience. There is also a more expensive version ($200/person) that features an 11-course off-menu experience. But this was a fabulous choice all around. The food is exquisite and cooked to perfection. Our waiter even provided drink recommendations all the way down to Japanese whiskey pairings with our meals. Overall great recommendation and I would give 100/10 for the experience. I would book this place at least a couple of weeks in advance because this place is about to be HOT!

    My husband and I had dinner at Akira Back for the first time last night and we truly enjoyed ourselves. The ambiance, service and food were all amazing. Since it was our first time our server Jessica said she would take care of us and have chef create a menu for us to enjoy. We had his famous Tuna pizza with caviar on top which tasted amazing! We also had the yellowtail Serrano which had great flavor as well. The black cod melted in your mouth! We got the wagyu where we cooked it on a hot rock and it came with three different sauces. The wasabi butter one was our favorite to dip the meat in. The dish was so fun cooking table side. We finished with a hot mess roll and again loved it! Especially the sauce it was spicy. We got the cigar and apple dessert. They put a candle and had a cute happy birthday sign because we were celebrating my husbands birthday! We loved both desserts. They have an amazing Japanese whiskey menu. My husband got a flight and I enjoyed the cucumber martini. Overall great experience and I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes and drinks again soon.

    The staff was very knowledgeable and passionate about the food with perfect recommendations. Everything they recommended was great and the best Japanese/sushi I have ever experienced. Although a little pricey, the quality more than made up for the cost. We sat at the bar and really felt like we were the only ones there even though the restaurant was semi full. The bar staff was great and I look forward to going back and trying more unique offerings!

    Even though we had reservations, we had to wait 15 minutes since inside dining is smaller than expected. Once seated, food and drinks were great and we had an amazing server who was very knowledgeable and passionate about everything. Will definitely be back. Also, try the Old Fashioned with one of the Coffee Grain Whiskey. It is amazing.

    I just want to say that the experience we had was 10 out 10 AMAZING. I am a GM of a very high end restaurant in Dallas and the service we received was one that I have not got to experience in a while. Michael was our server and he created such a memorable experience for us. His knowledge not only of the entire food menu, but the spirits list was unbelievable. There was not a single piece of food left on any plate, or even a sip left for our cocktails. The host greeted us so friendly, and also the food runner described everything beautifully when he delivered our food. We always here the negative and rarely the goos. The flavor profiles of each dish were so well put together, nothing was over powering. Everything tasted fresh, the presentations were absolutely beautiful! Akira Back this was my first experience dining at one of your concepts, and I will definitely be back. Congratulations on such an amazing establishment, with an amazing team!

    This was nothing special. The grilled octopus was good but extremely salty. The rest was just fair. We were at the sushi bar, where the design does not allow you to see any sushi-making action. However, we got a clear view into the kitchen area. Probably not the best to be seeing all that. Service was ok if a little overbearing. Overall, annoyed I spent that much for grocery store level sushi.

    We visited Akira Back for my husband's birthday. We spent over $300, each getting the chef's tasting course. It was a disappointment; we spent the ride home recounting other amazing food memories we'd had in DFW for much less $$! Yes, the food quantity was tiny, and moreover, none of the dishes really blew us away. We went because we heard it could be a good sushi experience, but no. Every time a guest enters, the receptionist yell and the chefs yell back. I think it's supposed to be a novelty, but it's disruptive to the dining experience.

    The food quality was outstanding, the cocktails were well crafted, and the service was good (other than the constant upsell for drinks between the very long wait times between courses). The tasting menu was of the quality we expected, but the portions were too small. It was the first time in a long time I left a tasting menu feeling hungry afterwards. For the price and portion size, an additional 2-3 courses would be appropriate. Hopefully they take this feedback under consideration or AB will be a short lived experience in Grandscape.

    Our server made several mistakes. I ordered two drinks during dinner and the last one came just as we were paying the check. I no longer even wanted it. I think / hope that he was in training because if not, he needs to go back for more training.

    Michelin star chef drew us there but we will not be returning. 1. Food is overpriced. They charged even for a side of eel sauce. Who does that?! 2. Food took more than 30 mins to come out 3. Drinks on the rocks (no mix) took 20 mins 4. The tight-jacket manager with the mow-hawk made us uncomfortable with the way he was repremanding a waiter who made a mistake- right in the dining room

    Food is the epitome of "okay" --not bad but not particularly inventive or unique either, even for the area. Service is still going through teething pains with servers-in-training adding to the already crowded space. Ambience is the biggest disappointment given the brand new "waterfront" build with the attractive mural in front. Biggest issue is overcrowding with far too many tables in a surprisingly small space. The result: conversations spilling over from other tables and servers and servers-in-training constantly brushing by as they try to navigate their way around the room. All of which is exacerbated by pumping lounge music bouncing off hard surfaces all around making it difficult to hear the servers if not directly next to them. Perhaps the crowding will be alleviated when the weather cools and more guests opt for outdoor seating, but management definitely needs to work on the flow and feel of the space even if it means sacrificing capacity.
