Reviews for Akira Japanese Steakhouse in Plainfield, IN

After reading some of the reviews I was a little concerned walking through the doors but I'm glad I did. All pricing was... upfront. The wait staff was extremely attentive and the chef was wonderful. We will definitely be back. Read more

Great food and great service! They did inform us they were short on cooks (which is fine with us because that's everywhere) The... food was worth the wait! Our kids (age 4 and 7) got chicken tenders off the kids menu and loved it. We were all entertained bythe cook! Definitely recommend ?? OH make sure to ask for yum yum sauce if you want some. They filled the two saucers withanother type of sauce (sorry not sure what they are called) Read more

The cook threw food at granddaughter ik he expected her to catch it but still shes a child and had no clue me either for that... fact. Paid in cash and hostess came to table and told me to tip them because they had Bill's too. So I informed her it was ontable and I didn't need to give her money since she didn't serve us. Ruined the whole experience for me. Food was reasonablepriced. Read more

Stopped in after picking up my sister in law from the airport. A bit weird to get in if coming from the west. You have to go... past to an entrance as the other is a carve out right curve if coming from the east. The food was average to above average. Weall had Teriyaki chicken and fried rice. Wasn’t much teriyaki flavor. The food was prepared and cooked very well. The shrimpwas firm but not chewy. Those were very good! I had a Miami Roll that was superb in my opinion. Also tried the Rainbow Roll, oneof the Tuna and it was pretty amazing too! Our cook was funny and pleasant. Not only did he cook our meal, he made a to go orderof 4 dinners at the same time, not slowing down our meal cook time. The mens bathroom only had a toilet inside a gapped wall andno door lock or urinal. The entryway was very cool but needed a good dusting. The eating area was clean however. All in all Iwould eat here again if given the opportunity. A lot more teppanyaki tables than our Japanese Steakhouse in my town but oursseats 15 per table vs their 8 or 9! Only 4 Stars because of the bathroom, entryway and the weak teriyaki flavor! Read more

Our chef was kind, fun and very flattering. The food was great- especially the spicy chicken and calamari steak. We had a... birthday party, and they even took our photo on Mt. Fuji. Thank you! Read more

I had to give them 5 stars because it was myself with 2 friends and 2 women with an infant the only people in the restaurant and... they gave us the 5 star treatment. The chef was amazing when he noticed the infant was scared he performed tricks to entertainher but it didn't work so he stopped in order to let the mom calm the infant, once done he continued but away from the infant.The server Lily was super fantastic awesome, she was so attentive we didn't have to ask for anything because she had it at thetable before you could ask. The food was amazing so good that my leftovers were great the next day, pretty impressive forhibachi. Whenever I'm in Indianapolis I'll definitely be returning and I highly recommend and ask for Lily if you can. Read more

Well really I don’t know where to start… this was my 3rd and last time at this place!!! The owner needs to let someone else... take over she’s super rude over taxes you when your cashing out she acts like customers are a burden… super superunderstaffed and I see why!! I was only drinking water and never got a refill till I asked for the bill and that came briskly…the first round of drinks soup and salad came fast even the sushi came fast and it was great like the other times then I orderedthe steak hibachi dinner meal and I ordered both my sons kids chicken teriyaki meals which said 11.95 on the menu but on thebill it said 15.95 don’t know how smh when asked the owner about it she stated we was looking for trouble just as we did thelast time we came… lady is delirious it’s just always a money thing with this lady it seems… but the cook made it a littlebetter with his performance and I also got some really cool pictures but didn’t get the complete meal because it took so longmy phone died but the phone was good but I wouldn’t recommend this place at all until they get a new owner Read more

A-V-O-I-D !!!! This place is absolutely terrible. The chefs are very entertaining and the food is decent, the sushi roll we... order(the dragon roll) is always steaming hot and very good though. But the service is very slow and so unapologetic. The owneris the whole problem! She does NOT care about her customers or making them happy..she is very greedy and just mean. You are madeto feel as those you should be privileged to walk into her establishment smh. If you ever have a problem at this place you willNOT be compensated and she will be sure to give you some type of excuse.. Heres what happened to us the 3rd time we tried tohave hope for this place... First, they are severely understaffed and I mean 4 people working the whole resteraunt understaffed!We waited a good 10 mins for water and another 30 for our one sushi roll (it was amazing though!) As the OWNER takes ourchildrens order she asks them what salad dressing ginger or ranch and they tell her they want soup not realizing both soup andsalad come w their meal..so I tell her they want ranch she looks at me and says, no they no want salad they want soup .again Isaid ranch they will have ranch w their salads..again, she says no they tell me no salad... they ended up eating my saladsmh..Then, we waited an hour for our chef to start our food all the while we could see the meat just sitting out the whole timeuncovered.. The chef was accommodating and very entertaining. The food was good but not worth the wait, I got the pleasure ofchomping down on an egg shell..no drink refills at all. The owner always brings the check because she wants to make sure she canadd any extra thing possible! We paid $96.52 for 2 adults and 2 kids..for all water, 2 chicken kids meals, one adult steakhibachi and one vegetable hibachi and one sushi roll. The owner charged us all for fried rice an extra 3.50 each making our kidsmeals almost $20 each!! She said no, hibachi comes w steamed rice you said fried rice. I explained that I Read more
