Kirin In Torino

23/02/2025: Disappointed by expectations. It looks like a classic all you can eat, not an à la carte restaurant. Chewy uramaki, sashimi too thick with very fatty salmon, nigiri nothing special, tempura seems frozen because I have never seen such long and narrow prawns. I give 3 stars only for the friendly staff but I don't recommend it for the food, there are much better à la carte restaurants

23/02/2025: Disappointed by expectations... recommended by my sister, we went here with high expectations also considering the fact that we eat à la carte... Many dishes do not differ from the all-you-can-eat restaurants we have tried in the past, where we have decided not to go any more years ago due to widespread poor quality. All the Uramaki with sticky rice and gummy seaweed in most of those eaten taste acceptable for this reason I don't go below 3 stars even if from the consistency they seemed almost not made on the spot. Mixed sashimi, tuna seemed to be of good quality even if cut too often, terrible salmon of very low quality with more than evident streaks of fat far from the standards we are used to with à la carte sushi, good scallop cut well and average sea bass also cut well. Average Nighiri didn't drive me crazy, acceptable in taste but in shape I can't say the same, rice balls too small and not tied well with the fish so much so that they always separated from each other not having enough rice to bind to, fish placed on top not cut to perfection. The only positive note is the prawns in ketaifi paste, which are good although I doubt that it is a frozen product and not freshly prepared as the prawn has a particular shape which is very thin and long, a little unusual but still very good. In general, a restaurant that I would not recommend. There are other à la carte sushi that have higher quality with similar prices.
