Probably, Link Hotel has not completed yet.
There’s only one Japanese restaurant – Akira seen on its ground floor, next to its bird arena.
I love Japanese food!
The ala carte buffet menu got me interested and I’m interested to try with my parents. The offerings looked similar to Hanabi’s and cost for dinner are the same except Hanabi offers 70 choices while Akira offers 89 choices on the ala carte buffet menu. Wondering if it would be better than Hanabi?
Looks good right?

Hi cheyenne,
hehe… I wouldn’t dare… they might sue me for copyright… and have not tried the food yet.
I took the menu from outside cos it was pasted on the glass wall. You can see some reflections, right?
anyway, I seeked their permission before photographing it.

I have been an ardent customer of Akira when it was located at Emerald Hill. We had enjoyed the personalized services provided by 2 of the waitresses and its generous serving of Buffet.
After it was sold to a new owner and now located at Tiong Bahru, I had visited it few months ago with 2 of my buddies. After the visit, we told ourselves, that will be our 1st and last visit to the restaurant.
To our great disappointment, we no longer find the familiar friendly services we have enjoyed. When we requested for more serving of the Japanese sashimi Mekajiki, we were served 3 pieces very thinly sliced of the fish. The whole evening, we had to constantly place order for it. Hence we suggested to the waiter to save him and the chef’s time and efforts, why don’t they serve us in bigger portion instead. The waiter empathized with us but advised it is the restaurant’s policy he had to abide too.
It is very stressful to patronize a restaurant who is so stingy in the serving of food. They would rather spend money on TV advertisments, than to be more generous to its customers.
In addition, the senior employee, an elderly lady with specatacles manning the counter is simply very unfriendly and unprofessional at all. Overall the services sucks!
I hope this information will be helpful to those who plan to visit Akira, and think twice before you regret it.

Good to see a feedback about it finally. I’ve only tried once when it first open… yes… the service was slow then…
