153 Akira - Wilmette

I was already at many sushi places in and around the chicagoland area without doubt that this must be close to the top of the list. there is a seat in the open.

Eating was in order and the customer service was good, but had a bad experience overall with my son. they said they were in a hurry, turned out they didn't take.

153 akira is located in the interior of wilmette, which is small, but has some great services and restaurants to offer. parking is usually easy to find.

I found this particular Japanese restaurant through Amazonlocal with $30 spend on food/drink $15 coupon. This restaurant resides on a quiet street and it’s very easy to miss. If the weather permits, you can dine outside the restaurant, they've got tables/ chairs setup for you. The times I have been here are always in the evenings, and it’s a pretty good place to bring a date here since the lighting inside is pretty warm, relax, and dim. Every time I go to a Japanese restaurant I will make sure they have chirashi, assorted fillets of fish served on top of sushi rice, on the menu because I love sashimi and to me I think chirashi has the biggest bang for the buck. When the chirashi arrived, I was amazed how generous portions of sashimi they served. Each sashimi was not cut too thin and the size of it was moderately generous. Sashimi was fresh, and everything else was succulent. Also I almost forgot to mention that the dish looks appealing that you would want to take a picture of it how well it’s decorated, It’s quite colorful. Ever since I have been to this restaurant, I have always ordered chirashi so I haven’t had the chance to try out other dishes, but until then. I would definitely recommend anyone that loves Japanese food to come here. By the way, last time I was there the waiter offered us sample dish free of charge. It was very nice of them to try out chef’s latest work.

Kelly and Akira are great. This sweet little sushi spot is ideal for eating and taking out, definitely my favorite remnants in Wilmette. Lunch speciality is (too? reasonable, and there is great variety for dinner.
