Chef Alan Lin’s Journey
Owner and chef Alan Lin’s inspiration behind Akira comes from the owner’s deep-rooted passion for Japanese cuisine. He immigrated from China to the United States decades ago and after a transformative experience dining at his uncle’s Japanese restaurant in 2000, the owner fell in love with the flavors and techniques of Japanese cooking. This led to a 20-year career as a hibachi and sushi chef, honing skills and developing a deep understanding of the cuisine.
The restaurant’s name pays homage to the owner’s uncle, who ran a restaurant also called Akira.
After 20 years, he has worked diligently to perfect the taste for hibachi, while also using traditional Asian ingredients to make the food more flavorful and tasty.
For those who have never had it before, hibachi actually a misnomer for teppanyaki, which is a Japanese cooking style and cooking appliance that refers to cooking food in a large, open bowl or grill over high heat. The word is derived from the Japanese words teppan, which means “metal plate”, and yaki, which means “grilled, fried, or pan-fried”. In the United States and Canada, teppanyaki is often called hibachi, which means “fire bowl”. It’s often served on a hot steel plate that forms the center of the table, and diners can eat directly from the plate. Chefs cook the food in front of the guests, often wowing them with their knife skills and fiery onion volcanos.
Popular Dishes include:
- The Hibachi Chef Special – Sirloin steak (3 oz.), chicken (4 oz.), shrimp (4 pieces).
