My Review by aldit via Citysearch on 1/30/2014
Tried their Sunday brunch buffet. Good selection and more refine. Love their chawan mushing and desserts.
Overpriced, poor service and won't honor their reservations by lizette via Citysearch on 12/19/2010
We made reservations 4 weeks ahead of time, requested for the table to be located in the fireplace's room. Restaurant called us back the day before to confirm reservation and to let us know that they couldn't accomodate our request because…

Really disappointing by philipchasen via Citysearch on 8/7/2009
We read some of the reviews and decided to eat there.
We ordered the $70 Menu Rabelais with wine pairings. My wife started with the Chilled ?Momotaro? Japanese Tomato with Saut?ed Hokkaido Scallops - excellent. I started with the House…

Overpriced, okay food by oy1027 via Citysearch on 12/1/2008
The dinning area is beautiful, great for romantic dining. Service is good, well please note half of the tables are empty. Menu is very expensive, and personally I don't think it's worth the price.\r

My husband took me here for my birthday. First off, the hostess was so sweet. She showed us to a really nice table. Next, our server came to our table and was very informative and helpful. We ordered both tasting menus, I had the Menu…

Amazing by JD131 via Citysearch on 2/25/2008
Been a few times now and I would say this is one of the best restaurants in Pasadena and anywhere. Everything is superb. Just look at Mr. Akira's credentials - wouldn't expect anything less then the best and he delivers. I'm a seafood…
Blown Away by milleraj21 via Citysearch on 8/17/2007
Maison Akira is our favorite restaurant in Pasadena -- we always order the Menu Epicurean with accompanying wines and it is always PHENOMENAL! Best tasting/prix fixe menu in Pasadena, hands down. They beat out The Raymond restaurant's…
My-son A-so-so! by skuid via Citysearch on 7/22/2007
I have to give kudos to the marketing for the place. Great chef. Food is good but not phenomenal. For the price I paid, I expected more. Portions were a little small compared to the other fine restaurants in LA. Great menu items. It all…

Not all that it's cracked up to be by angeliquor08 via Citysearch on 4/16/2007
We read an excellent review in the Pasadena Star News, but we weren't very impressed with our experience. The menu items are very limited, the prices are expensive, and the food isn't anything special. Despite some good word of mouth, only…
