Ristorante Giapponese IJY In Pisa

Very nice place, friendly staff, good and unique food

Clean place, perhaps a little too dark, but overall very nice. The all-you-can-eat option also allows you to try butterfish sashimi at lunch, in addition to the classic salmon and delicate sea bass. The fried foods are nice and crispy, and there's a wide variety of sushi rolls. The only flaw was the lack of Venere rice rolls (which I prefer). I don't know if they're available at dinner, but other than that, the sushi is really good and beautifully presented. The basil sauce on some rolls is truly excellent, really enhancing the flavor. The salmon with mango and mango salsa would be fantastic with less avocado, which, in my opinion, overpowers the other flavors. Overall, an excellent lunch. They split the hours into two halves, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM and from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM, to accommodate more people, given that the restaurant isn't very large. I returned recently (September 2025), and unfortunately, the butterfish sashimi is no longer available for lunch. However, they've added/modified a few special appetizers (you can order one per person), which are truly delicious. Otherwise, I can confirm everything I wrote previously: fresh, good-quality sushi and sashimi.

It was compelling to review this place because several dishes here were amazing! We walked into the place wanting some alternative to Italian food (after two weeks of travel). We chose the buffet for a wide variety of food options, we definitely did not walk out with the expectation of: “Woah, I would pay ala carte/good money for some of the IJK signature dishes in a fancy restaurant” - as shown in some of the photos. The other standard dishes i.e the different rolls, met expectations. They were ok. Overall, the value is superb for the price.

Excellent AYCE sushi in the center of Pisa. Good quality and fair prices.

Ijy always a guarantee, for me the best ACYE in Pisa hands down.

It was truly fantastic eating here, all with my friends. The food was excellent, everything was very good, and it arrived promptly; as soon as you ordered, it arrived within 5 minutes. I will continue to be a regular customer.

The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. The staff are friendly, kind, and empathetic. The food is excellent.

Wonderful experience, perfect service, food and atmosphere, very calm despite the crowd and the demonstration on the Lungarno (game of the bridge)

Very nice, we ate well, we just waited a bit to be seated despite the reservation but good come on

It should be frequently visited with "all you can eat" option. Comparing to the similar restaurants from milano for instance, the food, service and the atmosphere are way better for sure. The menu is very variative, you are waiting for a couple of minutes to get your order. Awesome!
