Akira Back Indonesia

Udah ngumpulin lama banget nih hasrat buat cobain Akira Back krna lumayan mahal juga untuk skali makan disini. Well, first time makan disini bener2 ga ngecewain sama skali dan sesuai expektasi! Aku pesen 2 menu : salmon pizza nya of course, dan 600gr tomahawk with bone and baby corn. Aku kira porsinya sedikit, ternyata buat berdua itu lumayan kenyang loh. Buat pizza salmonnya sih endulita banget, juara, TOP, ga ada yg ngalahin! Kalo bisa sih mau nya 1 porsi buat sendiri, karena enak banget. Rasa crispy pizza nya dan salmon yg asin gurih itu jadi satu smua melted di mulut!! Dan tomahawk nya enak banget, ga keras dan gmpang dikunyah. Jadi tomahawk ini perpaduan antara tenderloin dan sirloin, jadi cocok bangey buat sharing buat kamu2 yg tim pecinta lemak dan non lemak. Hehehehe. For sure bakal balik lagi sih! (Of course nabung dulu hihi)

Having lunch in here and this is definitely the best lunch package ever, especially in Jakarta and Akira Back itself. Akira back is one of the best in terms of place and ambience - it's neat, executive and elegant in the same time. And definitely well-known in terms of delicious food, pretty presentation and of course expensive 

The service is the best, all served very well and attentive. Place is great, so for the price -- the lunch package starting price is 195,000 pp incl the starter, mains and dessert. And the quality is still on, so it's totally worth it. Let's start!

For the starter, I choose:
MAGURO TATAKI with roasted corn salad, cucumber jalapeno sauce and habanero oil. So pretty in presentation yet so yummy! Really fresh from that sauce itself and the corn give extra texture on it! (8/10) 

BULGOGI TACOS - wagyu chuck tender, kongbap, sous vide onion. This one is really good. The beef is tender and love that crunchy tacos! What a great starter! (9/10) 

For the mains, I choose:
TEPPAN CHICKEN BREAST with mixed mushroom and kochujang butter sauce. It's good but I'm not a fan of it but my friend like it somuch. So, she finish it up by herself. I think it's based on tastebud (7/10)
SEASONAL WHITEFISH with mussels, hiratai udon and ponzu butter sauce - the winner main course of today (for me!), the unique combination of each elements are soooo delicious. Love the idea of using udon - balance and that butter sauce is super rich without overpowered the overall dish! The plus point again the whitefish is not fishy at all! (10/10) 

And for the dessert, I'm trying both menu:
BLOOD ORANGE GRANITE - red plum carpaccio, campari foam and pomegranate Soooo refreshing, sour - sweet - a hint of bitter. It's really clean my palate in a good way! (10/10)
LAYERED GREEN TEA MOUSSE CAKE - black sesame sponge, litchi sherbet, sesame tuile. Calling for all the greentea's lover, not too sweet but rich at the same time. Personally love this dessert! (9/10)

And I also ordered their best seller and winning dish (apart from the lunch package) - TUNA PIZZA (235K) with umami aioli micro shiso and truffle oil. OMG THIS IS A MUST ORDER MENU, totally! This is the definiton of food come from heaven, srsly! I'm not a fan of tuna because it's too fishy but in here, you could taste the freshness and 2 thumbs up for this dish! And that thin crust omg loveit! It's worth the price! (10/10) 

For the drinks, I ordered:
LEMON DROP KIWI - so basically it's mocktail mix of lemon, soda and kiwi topped with lime sorbet. So refreshing esp. after eating all those food (8/10)

LA PASSION - another special mocktail made of honeydew, passionfruit, orange juice and lemongrass. Definitely love the combination! I order it twice lol (10/10)

Tuna pizza nya juara banget. Tp menu yg laen sih biasa aja. Beberapa kali kesini dan coba berbagai menu yg lain, tetep cm tuna pizza nya yg selalu di hati ❤️

It’s my second visit to Akira Back after awhile. The service and food quality is still consistently great. A group of us ordered:

• Tuna Pizza & Eringi Pizza
Both are equally delicious and perfect appetizers

• AB Tacos
All my friends loved this, but as I’m not a big fans of beef, I find the beef flavor to be quite bold

• Crispy Rice
With Cajun Tuna and Spicy Ponzu Aioli, makes another great starter

• Brother from Another Mother
Sushi with Unagi & Anagi Tempura (sea & fresh water eels, hence the name*) with Foie Gras, Ponzu Mayo, and Eel Sauce. So delicious we cleaned the plate in seconds

• Perfect Storm
Sushi with Shrimp Tempura, Spicy Tuna, Salmon Belly Aburi, and Chipotle Mayo 👌🏼

• Jidori Chicken
The most tender and juiciest grilled chicken we’ve ever eaten.. served with Truffled Potato Puree and Teriyaki Sauce

And the star of the night:

• Porterhouse
600gr USDA Prime Beef, Coffee Crusted, with Korean Black Garlic Bordelaise 😋😋😋

Definitely one of the best restaurants in Jakarta!
Perfect for special occasion with your loved ones or to impress your business associates or really any other occasions could be an excuse when you are craving for this super tender, super juicy delicious coffee crusted grilled beef ✨

Finally tried this restaurant after listening to countless people saying how great the ambiance is and how consistantly amazing the food is.
Ambiance

The restaurant was dark and calming, as you can see the light coming from the streets of Jakarta from the 12th floor of the the MD Place Penthouse. The decor is pretty simple yet luxurious. Perfect for almost every  date night to business dinner.
Service

The service was excellent. All of the staffs were prompt and attentive, as expected from award winning restaurant.
Food

1. Appetizers :

Tuna Pizza

This signature appetizer of Akira Back was simply amazing. The thin and pizza crust was the perfect vessel to slices of raw tuna and the microgreens. Addition of truffle oil elevates the dish further. A must order.
Eringi Pizza

A personal favorite of mine. The vegetarian version of the pizza was using umami mushrooms. I can't really explain the combination of flavor as you need to experience it for yourself. I personally couldn't stop eating this dish.
AB Tacos

Wagyu Kalbi with spicy tomato ponzu inside crunchy taco skin were the food combination that I never knew I needed in my life. The beef were succulent and the spices were pefect.
Popcorn Shrimp

The sauce that coated the fresh bite-size fried shrimp was excellent. The spiciness, sweetness and sourness of the sauce was really unique and balanced.
Crispy Rice

The crispy rice was a bit tangy. Perfect to be combined with the peppery cajun tuna, spicy ponzu aioli, and nori paste. The flavors exploded in my mouth (in a good way). Spices/chili-lover must order.
2. Mains:

Porterhouse

Their 600 grams USDA Prime steak with coffee crust and Korean Black Garlic bordelaise served with parmesan grilled baby corn could be considered expensive, but I can assure you that it's worth the price. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the seasonings was to die for. The charred corn made a perfect pair with the steak.
Perfect Storm

Another excellent main dish. This sushi roll had everything, from shrimp, salmon belly, to tuna. The sauce was a bit spicy. It's delicious.
Jidori Chicken

Not what you expected when you think about a chicken dish. Normally, chicken meat could be a bit tough, rubbery, and fiber-y. However, this chicken was incredibly moist and tender. I was quite blown away when I tasted this dish. The sweet and salty teriyaki sauce and truffled potato puree tied the dish together.
Wagyu Fried Rice

Never had fried rice this flavorful before. It is very different from the dry-fried-rice that you normally get. They are using good quality rice, cubed veggies such as carrots and cucumbers, and most importantly, wagyu. To spice it up, you can eat them with provided bird's eye chili.
Brother from Another Mother

This roll consisted of anago and unagi. Both of the fishes provide succulent texture and unique taste to the sushi. The sauce used was sweet.
3. Desserts:

Yuzu Granita

This dessert is incredibly fresh due to the sour taste of yuzu shaved ice and popping bubble. The coconut foam provided the needed sweetness to the dish. Writing this review makes me crave the dessert even more. Another must order.
Malibu Ganache

A delicious ending. Initially, this dessert tasted sweet from the outer white chocolate casing. Then my mouth was covered with rich coconut and slightly bitter flavor from Malibu liquor.
To sum it up shortly : Undoubtedly an excellent dining experience.

Kembali bersama kawan2 Foodies berkumpul di Akira Back untuk mencoba beberapa menu yang semuanya Amazing banget untuk disantap maupun diulas...
GOOD RESTAURANT, GOOD SERVICES & GOOD FOODS itulah 3 hal yang dapat diberikan untuk Akira Back ini...

GOOD RESTAURANT = ya memang kualitas Akira Back ini sudah masuk kedalam tarap exclusive restaurant sehingga sepantasnya dikatakan GOOD RESTAURANT...

GOOD SERVICES = dari sejak masuk ke gedung MD Place, diantar menuju Lift yang hanya menuju lantai 12 lantai Penthouse yang merupakan lantai Akira Back ini berada lalu sambutan penerima tamu & para pelayan yang sangat baik & ramah menjadikan pelayanan Akira Back ini masuk dalam kategori GOOD SERVICES...

GOOD FOODS = ada 14 macam makanan, 1 dessert serta beberapa minuman yang kami coba yang kesemuanya mempunyai cita rasa kelezatan yang sangat tinggi sehingga makanan2 yang ada di Akira Back ini masuk kedalam kategori GOOD FOODS...Terus terang saja melihat tampilan makanan2 yang disajikan sangat cantik sehingga ada ungkapan kalau makanan2 tersebut sayang untuk dimakan ( saking cantiknya penampilan yang disajikan )...

Adapun makanan2 tersebut adalah :

Tuna Pizza : agak sedikit terganggu dengan aroma yang cukup keras & tadinya mengira makanan ini dapat masuk dalam kategori makanan aneh yang akan susah masuk kemulut tapi ternyata setelah dicoba ENAK INI, COY....

Hirame Carpaccio : naaahhh kalo khusus untuk sashimi yang 1 ini saya suka karena daging ikan halibut nya masih terasa kenyal2 dimulut dibandingkan Salmon Aburi yang lembut banget...


Salmon Aburi : agak jarang saya makan sashimi walaupun dipaksa2 makan paling2 hanya 1 atau 2 potong saja jadi terus terang saja khusus untuk Salmon Aburi ini saya tidak begitu merasakan kenikmatannya...

Horenso Shira AE : horeeeeee, Tirta makan sayur hahaha surprise banget sayur ini begitu enak & saya dapat memakannya, mau nyomot untuk kedua kalinya sayang dipiring uda hilang diembat pasukan ninja tanpa bayangan...


Una-Q : gomenasai, khusus untuk makanan yang 1 ini saya lewatkan karena ada hal yang membuat saya tidak dapat memakannya...


Popcorn Shrimp : udang yang digoreng tepung lalu diberikan mayonaise, sudah pasti siapapun akan suka begitu juga dengan saya...

AB Tacos : ini merupakan salah 1 makanan yang paling saya suka di Akira Back, makan Tacos ini harusnya jangan setengah2 kalau mulutnya lebar seperti saya makannya harus langsung 1 kali suapan alias langsung caplok dengan begitu kita akan bisa merasakan semuanya didalam mulut...sayangnya ketika mau ambil untuk kedua kalinya kembali sudah lenyap dihajar pasukan ninja tanpa bayangan....

Crispy Rice : yang menarik dari makanan yang 1 ini adalah proses penyiraman saus keatas Crispy Rice nya & ketika dimakan makanan yang dikatakan ama teman2 nga ada bedanya ama rengginang ini ada kriuk2 nya...


Oxtail Steamed Buns : ini juga merupakan salah 1 makanan favorit saya di Akira Back ini, sama seperti halnya AB Tacos kalau mulut kita lebar lebih enak kalau makanan ini dimakan dalam 1 kali suapan aja sehingga semua kelezatan yang ada dapat kita rasakan langsung didalam mulut kita cuma 1 yang harus diperhatikan bagi para haters pedas yaitu ada rasa pedas yang cukup membuat mulut ha hu ha hu ha hu...

Perfect Storm : nah kalo Sushi yang 1 top markotop nih & kali ini saya bisa makan enak beberapa potong karena pasukan2 ninja tanpa bayangannya uda mulai kekenyangan...


Brother From Another Mother : sama seperti Una-Q saya lewat lagi karena ada Unagi nya...sorry, jack...


Jidori Chicken : The Awesome & Perfect One from Akira Back...beneran, sumpah nga boong kalo boong ajak saya makan lagi deh buat buktiin kalo sy nga boong kalo makanan ini benar2 perfect banget enaknya...salah 1 makanan yang menjadi prioritas utama saya kalau berkunjung ke Akira Back lagi...


48 Hours Wagyu Short Ribs : wueeeeee daging wagyu ini mah sing ada lawan deh....empuk & enaknya bukan main coy sampe kebayang gimana kalo diganti daging bebong ya hahaha...

Porterhouse : khusus makanan yang terakhir ini jujur aja puas banget karena pasukan2 ninja tanpa bayangan uda pada kekenyangan & pada takut cholesterolnya naik akhirnya dari 4 set yang disajikan kayaknya saya menghabiskan 1 set langsung tanpa duece atau perpanjangan waktu hehehe kayak main bulutangkis atau main bola aja...tapi terus terang aja akan lebih nikmat lagi kalo ada nasi ya hahaha dasar wong ndeso makan steak ama nasi...

Yuzu Granita : nga jelas jenis dessert apa ini tapi yang jelas ini juga enak & yang pastinya cocok untuk para wanita ( soalnya lembut banget )...

Aneka Minuman : pilih minuman yang cukup lumayan segar yaitu minuman yang ada marquisa nya ( nga tau namanya apa )...

Overall 5 stars layak diberikan untuk Akira Back ini & janji deh akan balik lagi dengan membawa Para Penjahat2 Kuliner Ibukota...

Sebagai hadiah ulang tahun, saya diajak makan malam di Akira Back, resto yang berada di lantai 12 MD Plaza Building. Suasana resto fine dining ini terlihat mewah dan berkelas.  

Saya memesan Tuna Pizza, AB Tacos, Una-Q, dan Salmon Aburi. 

Tuna Pizza dengan  daging ikan tuna yang melapisi pizza yang super tipis, rasanya seperti makan biskuit... renyah...

AB Tacos, dengan daging sapi cincang yang banyak, seiris cabai di atasnya, rasanya tidak perlu ditanyakan lagi.

Una-Q,  belut laut dan sedikit hati angsa, sebelum disantap, tetesi dengan balsamic teriyaki untuk menambah rasa nikmatnya.

Salmon aburi,  rasanya biasa saja ... tidak istimewa... 

Dikasih kue coklat dan es cream, sebagai hadiah,karena tau saya merayakan ulang tahun, kue coklat dipadu es cream vanila... so pasti yummy.

Semua penampilan makanan tersebut sangat cantik, menggugah selera dan rasanya enak, sesuailah dengan harga yang harus kami keluarkan.

so, hari ini geng miluv (abaikan namanya) ada yang mao traktiran ultah, ultahnya sih uda lama tapi karena baru sempet ketemuan skrg jadinya gitu deh (late party abissss). design interior nya bagus, dan pelayanannya juga baguss bgt, dari makanan sampe penjelasan cara makannya semua dijelasin sama pelayannya dengan sangat baik (bagus bgt servicemya)

review makanan :
1. tuna pizzanya superrrrr enak, gak paham lagi 1 porsi juga bisa abis sendirian, enak bgt dan gak amis (superrr juaraaa)
2. taconya juga enak crispy di luar, tapi daging didalemnya lembut
3. wagyunya juga enak, empuk, saosnya juga enak

gak nyesel deh makan disini, resto ini kalo mmenurut gw sih uda termasuk fine dining ya, jadi harganya agak mahal
