"The hitmakers behind the innovative former Whiteaker sushi bar, Mame, have settled into a new groove with Akira. Located in a converted Mill Street house, Akira adopted a playful pan-Asian izakaya menu in 2023 featuring sashimi, hand rolls, and bao stuffed with everything from pork belly to smoked salmon and chive cream cheese. True to izakaya form, there is a full bar with sake, whiskey, and highly inventive cocktails like the Naatu Naatu with tequila, mango, lime, and some garam masala honey." - Brenna Houck, Eater Staff
