Akira Back To Bring Japanese-Korean Flair To Riyadh
So, what’s cooking at Akira Back? Well, if you think you’re stepping into a typical Japanese restaurant, think again. Forget the bamboo decor and koi fish ponds, this spot oozes luxury with marbled tables, gold accents, and abstract art. The ambience is chic, stylish, and as lively as a Tokyo night market. Whether you’re lounging in a plush velvet booth or soaking in the views from floor-to-ceiling windows, you’re in for a treat.
The menu at Akira Back is nothing short of a culinary rollercoaster. Expect bold, inventive dishes designed for sharing, because what’s better than bonding over a plate of fusion magic? The AB Tuna Pizza, a signature dish, is a must-try. It’s not just food; it’s an experience, served on custom plates featuring the chef’s mother’s abstract artwork. Talk about a personal touch!
And let’s not forget the sushi. Sure, you can opt for traditional nigiri, but where’s the fun in that? The sushi rolls here are a nod to Chef Back’s American roots, bringing a playful twist to every bite.
Chef Back, The Man Behind The Magic
Before donning the chef’s hat, Akira Back was carving up snow as a professional snowboarder. But after an unfortunate accident, he traded in his snowboard for a chef’s knife—a move that has led to a global culinary empire. With 20 restaurants worldwide, including hotspots in Paris, Las Vegas, and Dubai, Chef Back is no stranger to the global stage. Riyadh is his latest stop, and he’s ready to shake up the city’s already vibrant Japanese food scene.
