Had such a great experience. Cate, my server, was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly friendly, attentive and helpful when I couldn't decide what to order. I went with the Feed Me set menu $69 and it was an amazing value. The portions were very generous and it was such a great way to try a range of dishes from the menu. The atmosphere was casual, cosy and welcoming. I would definitely return and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Canberra.

It was our wedding anniversary and we had a wonderful experience at Akiba. We’re not from Canberra but this restaurant was highly recommended by vloggers as well as google searches for best restaurants in Canberra. Our host, Molly, took great care of us throughout our dining experience and was very attentive to our needs and continuously checked in with us to see how we were going. Her service was 10/10 and she is a great asset to the establishment. Thank you also for your treat for our anniversary! The food was awesome and left us feeling full and satisfied with what they gave us with the “feed me” menu. It was absolutely delicious and we would definitely recommend this place if you’re visiting Canberra.

Super cool place! Nice tapas selection! Great food quality and perfect location just off the tram line. Everything we had was really good and we were able to get a table even though we didn’t have reservations (Saturday evening). Reservations would be highly recommended. Molly & Ella give amazing service as well. It was hard to decide what items to select and they were patient with our many follow-up request. The large plate naked chicken was the best item but everything was actually amazing. The sweet & sour squid was next best then all the dumplings and buns…hard to really rank in order because everything was so good. Lastly, we loved the outside dinning area on a nice day. Drinks were not that good but I like the attempt at the cute names.

We were recommended to come to Akiba, and WOW. It definitely exceeded our expectations! From the team, to the food and the drinks- stunning. We had the Feed Me, trying all their signature dishes, everything was so well curated and the flavours all worked so beautifully. Thank you Duane and team for looking after us! Akiba is a must go if you’re in Canberra! 😍
