Our last evening in Singapore well spent! (but we spent a lot...) The food was delicious and the cocktails were yummy too! My sister is veggie and she loved the veggie sushi roll. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food came quickly (when it is ready). We were in lower area in the restaurant which more private yet still could feel the vibrant yet sophisticated atmosphere of the restaurant, which was predominately filled with couples. Would be a great spot for date night. It was very pricy compared to other meals we have had out though!

I had a really good experience dining here. Food was really good especially the wagyu taco, tuna pizza, and the something unagi sushi rolls. Dessert chocolate in a cup was also really good! Great ambience and service. Shoutout to Lia who was very friendly and warm. She recommended us to try the ala carte instead of pushing for the more expensive omakase since it was our first time there, which I thought was very thoughtful of her. Will definitely come back!

I visited w my friend at lunch.(Visited two women) The restaurant's atmosphere was very cozy, and comfortable. We ordered tuna pizza, wagu&tuna taco, Iberico Pork, Sanchoku Ribeye, and dessert. The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were beautifully balanced. Especially, I highly recommend trying the tuna pizza – it's a must! And taco is also perfect,,🤤 Staffs were very attentive, friendly, kindly. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful, and offered excellent recommendations. Especially, Hyun, and Suezana!! Service was perfect, and Exceptional🤩 Hyun is very professional,, and kindly explain about the food🌀 And when taking our order, Hyun carefully checked if we had any allergies or foods we couldn’t eat. From start to finish, I feel like we received the best service you can get in Singapore. 매니저분이 한국어와 영어 둘 다 잘하셔서 영어를 잘 못하시는 한국분들도 어렵지 않게 즐길 수 있는 레스토랑인것 같아요. 디쉬에 대해 디테일하게 설명해주셔서 디쉬를 알고, 더 맛있게 본연의 맛을 그대로 즐길 수 있었어요. 음식 먹는 속도에 맞춰서 다음 음식도 서빙해주시고, 음식이 맛이 어떤지 계속 확인해주셨고, 부담스럽지 않고 섬세하게 서비스 해주셔서 너무 만족스러웠어요🫶🏻 가격도 부담스럽지 않고, 최상의 서비스를 받을 수 있는 파인다이닝 레스토랑이예요. This is a restaurant I definitely want to visit again. I highly recommend it – everything was perfect! It was truly an amazing and unforgettable experience. It was the best restaurant in Singapore! Thank you sooooo much❤️❤️

We are not coming back. One of us got physically got sick an hour after we dined. We had the omakase for Christmas. Normally we dont give reviews but kind of owe it to future diners. Giving our best to make a fair review. Service Pros: Waitstaff folks were nice and accommodating and reactive. Cons: To finish the whole course we had to spend almost 3 hours. Supposedly, we wanted to finish 1.5 hours. Big delay and i recall when the last item was served, we were the only ones left and most of the people say with us at past 7pm had gone home. Took 30 mins to get our first appetiser. We should have gotten the hint. For the price and as a fine dining place, we had to follow up for our food many times. We were also confused why the courses took so long as the place didnt look that busy and full. Food Pros: Presentation was good. However only the sashimi ( if that is what it was) was tolerable. Cons: We really thought everything was so salty, we are talking about a series of dishes ... all too salty... the dessert was also pretty looking but it was bland and not the dessert youd like to have after all the sodium overload. Ambiance Nothing spectacular, acceptable. We came for the food anyway. Last remarks: We thought we discovered a new nice place, quite unfortunate it's not the case. We hope it will get better for future diners.

I had the pleasure of being served by Suezana during my recent visit to Akira Black, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the moment we were seated, Suzana made us feel welcome with her warm, friendly demeanor. She was attentive without being overbearing, always ensuring our glasses were full and our needs were met. Her recommendations were spot-on, and her knowledge of the menu really enhanced our dining experience. Suzana’s professionalism and genuine care for our experience truly elevated our time at Akira Black. I’ll definitely be returning and hope to have her as our server again!

Our first and it was a good experience at Akira back. Ambience is good and service was excellent. We were served by Sammy. She made the initiative by recommending dishes and they were really delicious- namely the half half pizza, wagyu taco, hot mess and sashimi platter.

First time we come here for dinner to celebrate my wife birthday. The experience was very good. We are serve by waitress Sammy. We informed her that we are celebrating a birthday occasion and was nice of the restaurant to give a specially prepared dessert which was very good. All the food we had ordered were very nice.

I brought my wife here for dinner on her birthday. I left a comment in the reservation that it was her birthday, and the restaurant brought her a dessert decorated with a personalised birthday greeting for her. The meal was well delicious and our server Marvin provided excellent service. A memorable dinner overall.

Excellent food and service! We ordered the Omakase set and it was so well crafted and explained. The staff was very attentive to our needs. Suezana even prepared us a birthday dessert unprompted when we mentioned the occasion.

3 of use, girls, went for a birthday lunch. Marriot Bonvoy discount does not apply but we can still earn the point. We chose to try the set menu and picked different dishes. The quality of the food is excellent and each dishes was very fresh, but the portion is small. We had to order a sushi roll. Birthday cake was offered free of charge, which is a very nice gesture. Service was timely and friendly. Set menu is not recommended for guys, you might need 2.

Based on my previous pleasant experience with Akira Back in Dubai, I decided to give the Singapore outlet a try and celebrated my early birthday in Akira Back Singapore (JW Marriot), with my hubby. The level of service was excellent the moment we stepped into the restaurant. The Filipino lady (unfortunately, I did not get her name) who communicated with me via WhatsApp regarding my reservation confirmation etc. the day prior to the dining date, identified me straight away once I mentioned my name and presented me with the complimentary parking as promised. Lucy, from Japan, was our server for the evening and her great service has really made our celebration a memorable one. Should anyone wish to experience great dining service in Singapore, which may not come by too frequently, Akira Back Singapore, is the place to go. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

It was out first time at Akira Back. It served nice jap food that my hubby and I enjoyed. The sauces are delicious for most of the dishes we had ordered. We have ordered the set dinner for 2, topped up with ribeye for an additional $50. The service staff were attentive to guests’ needs, with special thanks to Rock, who had served us throughout our dinner. We’ve chatted a little with Rock before we left and realised that he was having his internship in Singapore and will be retuning to Taiwan in a few weeks’ time. Wishing you all the best, Rock! Overall, we had a great time at Akira Back.

We were staying in the hotel associated with this restaurant and decided to give it a try based on previous reviews. We chose multiple dishes for the three of us to share. The beef cheek was probably the best we’ve ever eaten. The wagyu tacos were quite good. The other dishes we had were also excellent. We had fun trying familar foods but with a new twist. Unfortunately, the service was quite lacking. The restaurant was less than half full of customers, but service was quite slow. There appeared to be only two waitstaff working plus one manager and one hostess. The manager really did not seem to do much other than walk around and speak with the hostess. Each waitstaff also appeared to act as their own bartender. We waited over 10 minutes before being able to place a drink order and it was a further 30 minutes before we could order food. Once ordered, the food came quickly. As the number of tables decreased, the service did improve and was a bit more attentive. This poor service may have been a function of too few staff, but it did seem as if the manager could have done a bit more to help the waitstaff during the busy time. More recent reviews also seem mixed with regard to service so it sounds as if it is hit or miss. Hopefully they can work out the issues so it will always be a hit.

I was served by Sammy and ordered the yellowfin sashimi with yuzu soy and Iberico pork. The yellowfin was fresh. I would have e preferred to taste more yuzu in the soy sauce but it was overall perfect. Next was the Iberico pork french rack. The apple puree was divine. I would have preferred the Iberico pork to have a sweeter flavor but that may be because of the cut? Service was immaculate. Worth a repeat visit.

Our third time here and each visit is always excellent. The tuna pizza and jidori chicken are our usuals. The wagyu fried rice is a new dish we tried and it’s really good value. Lia was exceptional too - one of the best service staff I’ve come across. Very genuine, attentive and smiley! Also, thanks for the anniversary dessert - it was chocolate mousse and it was on point. Thanks for a great experience!
