Meh… dirty cups and crumby seating. Very quick service but poor quality food. It hits the spot and is relatively cheap for DC. I wouldn’t come back. The broth is overly salty and not rich/creamy. The pork was tasty but likely microwaved.

Lovely place, real tasty food. Only issue was one of my friend’s food came out 10 minutes later than the other 3 dishes, but then we all had Ramen and he had something else. Regardless, the food was just perfect for a nice spring evening.

First time. Had the craving for some good ramen and decided on the Tantaneun. It was delicious. Rich and flavorful, just how I imagined it would be. Very well balanced meal. Thank you, AKIRA! I will bring a friend next time and try some sushi.

I’m so happy this is my neighborhood ramen bar! I’ve tried numerous places in DC and so far Akira is still my #1. Delicious noodles and amazingly great sashimi. They even do a good job packing it up for take out. 100% recommend

Food was amazing, we had the volcano ramen, katsudon, and okonomiyaki. Everything was fresh, flavors were great, arrived in a timely manner, and all of the portions were well priced and generous!

Ramen was great, sushi was Okay, but it was so uncomfortable to eat with the staff just watching us. The staff also assumed that we were foreigners, which is probably why she was waiting for us to need something so that our tip could be higher. Either way, the staff here are incredibly pushy and assertive. Definitely never going here again.
