Akira, however, is a real let down. \nWe had two maki rolls which were ok, but nothing special. Their cooked dishes were all disappointing. The hargow wraps were thick and stodgy and the miniscule shrimp fillings were all dried out. Karaage chicken consisted of small, tough, overcooked pieces. And the vegetable tempura included large pieces of inedible taro slices. \nNot sure why such a mediocre Japanese restaurant has once again opened up on this strip of Bloor St."^^ . "2"^^ .
