I'd say this is the worst Japanese food place I've been to in Tulsa. I got an eel roll and a 2 tonkotsu ramen. The roll was presented pretty sadly, and tasted quite bad, so I just spit it out into a napkin. The ramen was....barely ok. It was just some instant noodles they let cook in the pork broth, with some random bits like snow peas and corn in there. Ok. Not very memorable, and not worth 15 bucks.

The cooks also weren't wearing hairnets or any sort of precautionary measures against food contamination. Sooo yeah it was kinda gross. I'd recommend going to another booth in Mother Road...

The ramen was a dud, but edible. The only thing good about it was the pork.
First and last...

For one, I didn’t have to request soy sauce, chopsticks, wasabi, etc as they had thought to include everything. Secondly, flavors of the two rolls were great. I hadn’t had an eel roll in some time and that was the highlight for me. A couple nicks- the spicy tuna roll was pretty plain, literally rice and a wedge of tuna encased in nori. Heat level was non existent. Secondly the actual roll slices were quite thin.
All in all I enjoyed my food from Akira, and could...
