Akira Back Tenerife — Restaurant in Guía de Isora

Akira Black

My husband loves this spot and sushi. I’m always difficult to please in sushi restaurants as I love some veggie and greens with my food. Menu here is complex and can be difficult to get the portions right for the table to take advice. They also do half portions of some of the sushi options which isn’t noted on the menu but very useful.

We opted for the tuna pizza to start which was delicious. We could have done without the truffle oil but that’s a personal thing. Then we had a mix of 1/2 portion of sashimi (5 different fish) and the perfect storm roll. Ample food for this course. All really delicious flavours.

For main course fyi no sides available apart from sticky white rice. I had the black cod and my husband had the beef cheeks. Both were truly fabulous flavours.

To finish we had the apple dessert again lovely take on apple pie. Loads of different presentations of apple enhancing various flavours.

Wine list is very expensive some good beer options for the non wine drinkers. Cocktail’s are expensive €24 for a manhattan.

Overall a lovely meal. Personally I don’t like the dining area or the lighting which is very harsh and stark. Staff are very knowledgeable, attentive and professional. Also chef works in the open and it’s always nice to see the kitchen in action. Recommend trying if you enjoy sushi and fine dining have your...

The food portions are extremely small for the price. Some of the items were not available and there wasn’t a huge variety of menu options. The staff weren’t very attentive and several times we had to get up and pour water and chase for cutlery. The initially waiter was very pushy when I was ordering, I advised him some of the party didn’t eat raw to which he started to argue with me about how many raw tuna pizzas to order( pushing me to order more). After this we basically had no waiter. I asked when ordering if they had any sides and I was told no. When the mains came I was then asked if I wanted to order a side of rice. The food took ages to come and I wasn’t advised on portion size so we were all hungry by the end but couldn’t be bothered to wait to order any more. I think the whole experience was a complete mess and not worth the money. I have visited the one in Dubai three times which was amazing and much bigger portions. Disappointed to...
