    Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by a friendly hostess, who escorted us to our seat. Great ambience, and build out. Shortly after we were greeted by our server, who was very professional knowledgeable about the menu and friendly. We had a variety of items from the multifaceted menu. Each dish was beautifully presented and delicious. The plates looked more like works of art than food. Our head server was very attentive throughout our dining experience We can’t wait to dine again at Akira Back.

    This is the best restaurant in Delray by FAR. It’s also one of the best restaurants in the world. Our server Jose was incredibly attentive, kind and informative. The food is outstanding. You’ve gotta try the miso cod, scallop on the half shell, and filet tobanyaki. Sushi is 10/10 too!
