Yeah, it's Akira, like that 1988 Japanese animated action film.
Guests gathered around the teppan, the Japanese iron griddle.
The miso soup tastes quite lovely.
Teppanyaki Set A Wagyu A3 Php1768
Like I said, all sets served with portions of chicken, shrimp and beef, and miso soup and fried rice. You really just pay for the cow breed.
Once the griddle is hot and ready, one of Akira's trained chefs will proceed to dazzle guests with his deft culinary skills.
Will you look at that?

What can I say, the fried rice simply tastes heavenly. I suspect that the rice has been mixed with crack, not just high quality soy sauce and Tonkatsu sauce! And let's not get started with the wagyu cubes! These things are tasty, beefy and fatty-- three things that I assure you, quality beef must have in spades! The over-spiced chicken and suspiciously overcooked shrimp need not be mentioned here at all, but for the sake of blogging, I'm including that statement here! (So meta)
Akira would be a boring teppanyaki resto without its mouth-watering Japanese staple like sushi, sashimi, ramen, tempura, tonkatsu and bentos! Check some of them out below.
Tuna Sashimi Php268
Salmon Sashimi Php248
Mixed Sushi Php538
The mixed sushi platter boasts an array of sushi with ebiko (prawn), uni (sea urchin), ikura (salmon roe), tamago (egg), kani (crab), unagi (freshwater eel), tuna, ika (squid), salmon and hamachi (Japanese amberjack fish). Haven't tried this yet, but I'm sure it's awesome.
Tempura Bento Php568
Salmon Bento Php568
Akira Roll Php348
I've gotten to try the Akira roll, and it's a fairly good (although out-of-the-ordinary) food made from kani, tempura bits, grated cheese, spicy mayo and tobiko (fish roe). It's too "ultra-hip and modern" to my liking, though.
