Aki Bay

Jpop in the background, kanji boards all around, Japanese chef's and waiters give this place an authentic Japanese Raman shop feel and so does the food, their Raman with chicken broth was really good. They give you company and converse with you in Japanese if you are a Japanese wannabe. Worry not, if they chopsticks get too daunting the waiter immediately provides a fork.

Ramen. ‘Nuff said. Okay. Let me elaborate. A genuine Tori PaiTan, Cloudy Chicken Broth. It is the only genuinely tasty ramen broth I’ve eaten anywhere in India. Definitely better than Go Go Ramen in Chennai. Far better than anything else in Bangalore. Unfortunately they don’t do a Tonkotsu broth or any pork at all. But that said, they do make excellent ramen noodles which perfectly grabs on to flavourful bits of broth as you’re slurping them down.

Great food with very good service. One of the few restaurants which provide authentic Japanese cuisine. Little expensive but worth it. My suggestions would be pai-tan and kyoza. Nowadays they have also added Indian menu inorder to get more customers but the Japanese part is still great. They have meals and kids menu for different sections of people. Also, they sell Japanese toys and Chopsticks for a price. The food is very filling and both quantity and quality won't disappoint. Try it. I am sure you will love it.

Aki Bay! Finally made it to this place after work for lunch on a weekday. It was empty. It's a cute lil restaurant, warm ambiance (coz AC was not working 😞) Good to go with family, small group of friends or loved one. They have authentic Japanese food and you get to try your hands on chopsticks! Friendly staff! They help you choose from the menu, also teach you how to eat with chopsticks. One off the bucket list for me. But lil expensive! Ambiance - 3.5 WFM - 4 (expensive) Taste - 4.5 (depends on what you choose) Miso ramen is top notch and full of flavour. Staff - 5 super friendly Parking - 3 (would be really tough during weekends) Bottomline: Must go! ❤

Great restaurant for people to try out Japanese cuisine in Chennai. The menu is limited but every item is made to perfection. Lot of small decorative Japanese goodies can be found in the shop. You can buy souvenir chopsticks too 😀. I tried Miso ramen chilli and karaage. The karaage was too good to be true. Never had a fried chicken with such great seasoning. The Miso ramen was just yum but not spicy as advertised (Maybe spicy for Japanese 😅). Can't express how good the noodles were. You just have to try it!!
