| - I was on Bloor St. with a friend looking for a filling place to eat, and saw that Akira was having a grand opening 20% off on AYCE, so we decided to give it a try.
The selection was pretty decent in my opinion, and we were told there were no limits on the pieces of sashimi we could order (due to our server's broken English we could have interpreted this wrong). We didn't test this out as I personally don't enjoy sashimi much and my friend couldn't eat a lot by himself.
The food was of average quality; nothing too special, but at the same time I wouldn't complain for an AYCE meal that ended up being just over $20 incl tax. As I mentioned, the selection was quite varied and some of the fried dishes were quite tasty.
Our service was quite disappointing, however, as we had to ask the server many times for food that didn't come, and in the end there were a few dishes that never made it to the table. Although she wasn't rude, she also wasn't the most attentive.
The seats are also very uncomfortable as they are little wooden stools with no where to put your bag/coat.
For the price, I would consider coming here again, provided they hire some more servers who can speak/understand English better (this is not a jab at people who can't speak English - there was legitimately a problem in communication while we inquired about the menu/ordered our food).
