Akira Back Jakarta

Tuna pizza here is excellent. We also got the roll named brother from another mother (pictures). Always loved the creation from chef Akira. Pleasant to our tongue.

Server provided excellent service too! We went here on a friday night and not too many people, you can still have nice talk while enjoying food and scenic Jakarta light at night.

Recommended.

Love this place, good food and my favorite is gyudon. They have lunch set that comes with appetizer, main course and dessert.

I have been here several times and they never let me down from food and services.

The place suits for formal or casual dining, if you plan to bring your family, it would be a good place as well.

This place has possibly the best all round Japanese food and drink selection. Be it for a date, corporate or a private event, this place has it all, the setting, the space and most of all The Food. Food is top notch. Must try their signature Tuna "pizza". Guaranteed the food here will make you want to dine here again !

Akira Back definitely lives up to its fine reputation. We had a wonderful lunch from start to finish and the staff is always so helpful. The Tuna Pizza appetizer is a must when eating here. They also serve excellent sushi u0026 sashimi. For main course, the halibut is grilled perfectly. Don't forget to get desserts as well!

Did I tell you why I love this place so much yet? The excitement is so high that I'm skipping thoughts. Being a vegetarian, a Japanese restaurant is the last thing you should enter - unless, you're entering Akira Back which can pull out (unlike most others) a separate mini menu for you. I loved every bit I was served off that menu. The food is a modern take on classics that somehow didn't go wrong (which also happens very often). The setting is pretty warm. The sushi counter could have been better. The service is impeccable, prompt and warm.

Me and my wife tried this because I made a mistake of booking this place instead of AB Steak. We tried their 5 course set and everything was a blast. Recommended for those who like japanese fine dining. Although I thought the price can be better.

Some food are delicious, but most are just so-so. Use way too much mayonnaise for example the sushi rolls.
1. We ordered Sushi Ichiban Platter which were 8 pc of nigiri coupled with Signature roll "Perfect Storm" and some of the classic roll "Baked crab hand roll" and "angry salmon baked roll". The nigiri are perfect, fresh and does not smell fishy at all. However all the sushi rolls taste like exactly what they are, rolls drenched in spicy mayonaise.

2. Popcorn shrimp has a good batter but the taste also wasted on mayonaise.

3. Tuna pizza is quite good
The smoked tuna is awesome with nice touch of truffle oil. But again, mayonaise between the "pizza base" (more like cracker than pizza base) ruins the perfect taste

4. Ribeye/NY steak, food presentation is dreadful, like you just dump the sauce everywhere. Taste good and quite juicy but I don't taste any "wagyu-ness". Feels like eating just a slighty higher quality beef

5. AB tacos. Personally it smells too beefy for me, and the tomato purree is lacking. Does not like it at all. Don't be fooled by all other photos, the tacos are small

6. Charcoal grilled salmon. Easily the best dish of all, second only to the nigiri. The fish is cooked perfectly, flaky but not dry, seasoned well, love the balsamic sauce and the sweet puree, it balanced the seasoning. The vegetable are nice too.

7. Lastly dessert: The Lava Cake. I'd score it higher if only the chocolate inside it more runny than what I get, but I won't complain much. The chocolate itself is perfect, not to sweet with a little bit of bitterness, well balanced with the ice cream

In summary: my favorites are the nigiri, salmon and tuna pizza (less mayonaise please)and Lava Cake

Maybe don't bother with the rolls, I don't think they worth the price. Unless maybe you pick something with expensive product or with no mayonaise.
