Worst restaurant ever. The owner was rude. Will never eat there again.

I recently visited with a group of coworkers.  We sat at the teppanyaki grill table.  The food was awesome but the atmosphere was seriously lacking.  The only fancy work the cook did was the same spinning egg trick all teppanyaki cooks use.  If you are looking for an upbeat atmosphere and great entertainment, don't stop here.  But if you're sole purpose is to chow down, Akira's is your place.  Don't forget the green tea ice cream!

 I don't get what's so "consistently good" about this place. I've been there a couple of times and it seems that each time gets worse. First of all, it's dark and smelly, the whole mood of the place is just depressing. On top of that it, the place is FILTHY! I had lunch once with a co-worker and I kid you not, a patron next to us pulled a fingernail out of his fried rice! DISGUSTING! I don't understand the allure of a dank, fishy, dirty, atmosphere in which to "enjoy" food. Please save your money and don't eat here. If I could, I wouldn't give this place a star at all, but I have to.
