Hobento Politeama In Palermo

A small Japanese style restaurant that conquers you at the first bite. I ordered the tonkatsu, the absolute star: crispy on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside, served with fresh cabbage, rice and a homemade sauce that enhances every bite. A simple dish, but executed to perfection. If you are looking for authenticity and flavor, this is the right place, I will definitely be back!!🇯🇵

Although it claims to be Korean style, it is difficult to say that it is Korean style by Korean standards... The owner doesn't seem to be Korean either, so I hope he doesn't refer to it as Korean-style chicken gangjeong. It's hard to say that the curry is particularly Asian-style curry. ㅠㅠ Maybe I had high expectations, but I was a bit disappointed.

This small izakaya in the heart of Palermo offers an authentic Japanese experience. The highlight is the takoyaki: crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, rich in flavor and perfectly balanced. An ideal place for those who love Japanese cuisine in a welcoming and informal atmosphere. I recommend trying the dorayaki too!

Really small Japanese style place with few seats. The quality of the food seemed to me to be variable, for example the onigiri were totally bland and tasteless while the takoyaki were very good (I would have eaten 1kg 😄) instead the Tonkatsu disappointed me, a normal breaded and fried pork cutlet. The service was quick and kind, the price was medium high.

I definitely recommend this restaurant. I don't understand the bad reviews about the limited space. Ultimately, if that's a problem for you, you can just walk right past. We found it really cozy, friendly, fast, and very, very tasty!

Real Japanese cuisine. Highly recommended

I was here a few days ago, out of curiosity for purely Chinese food. Alley place with few seats but we are in a typical Japanese place and I would say that the place has completely nailed the style and size of the place, the staff are kind and helpful. I would say the food was excellent in terms of flavor and presentation, perhaps a little overcooked but excellent in flavour. I recommend it to anyone who wants to try this kind of place

Cooked well but disappountigly low amount of pork in pork soba. Lots of cabbage though. Two-three tiny pieces of pork for the while bowl on the photo. :-(

You walk through the door and you find yourself in Japan! Exquisite food, the guy was very kind and prepared, we will be back ♥️
