Ristorante Sushi Ikai In Verona

It is a refined place with excellent cuisine

Sabato sera cena da Ikai, ristorante di cucina giapponese in cento a Verona. Abbiamo un tavolo nella sala centrale, quella che preferisco. Le luci sono soffuse e creano il solito ambiente romantico e rilassato. Prendiamo due antipasti, due super riso Ikai col granchio reale e due dolci, due birre spesi 97 euro. Il riso al granchio Ikai è uno dei miei piatti preferiti in assoluto. 4 pallini purché il desser non ha convinto per niente.

Ikai is a very renowned and well-known Japanese restaurant in the center of Verona. The soft lights inside the room create a relaxed and intimate environment. The à la carte menu offers dishes with refined combinations and very balanced flavours. The service is fast and courteous. I consider the price correct and in line with the quality of the products found in the dishes.

Review in one sentence: very good food, environment and service similar to a hospital canteen, dirty bathroom like the one at the petrol station after the passage of 4 buses of incontinent people. Comprehensive review: The place and the menu are well presented; creating the expectation of a "pareciato" place (editor's note for non-Venetian: fashionable), one would expect food and service to be up to par: while for the former I can confirm the goodness, quality and pleasantness of them, as regards the second aspect, the opinion must be negative (and also the price, which finds justification and reason only in the dishes), is highly considered. The normal welcome, they made us sit at the table and brought the menu, after about 15 minutes they came to take the order and from this moment on the service became a disaster: an hour (55 minutes to be precise) is how long it took them to bring the first course and, not to be rude (ed. controversial), but not at the same time, I ate while my girlfriend stood by and watched. Fortunately we only ordered 4 dishes (very "minimal" in quantity) but it still took us a total of an hour and a half to get up from the table, satisfied with the quality of the food, but hungry and truly "dazed" by the confusion inside (there is no soundproofing and voices echo throughout the room making it sometimes difficult to converse with the diners); the two extremely annoying things were finding the bathroom really dirty and the lady at the cash register who, without asking anything, introduced us and made us pay the bill for another table, fortunately as soon as we left we checked and went back in to get the difference reimbursed. All things considered, I can safely say that it is a place to go to eat excellent wagyu but compromise on everything that revolves around it.

I would say that 3 stars are more than enough for this slightly overrated Japanese restaurant. Over the years it has dropped in quality a little, in my opinion, however the food is good, nothing to complain about but nothing shocking. The service was a little distracted (we had to ask for water 3 times and stop the waiters several times to order other dishes) and the waiting times were biblical. Surely everything is prepared at the moment but the times should be sped up a little. Very nice location, on the street that leads to Piazza Bra (where the arena is located). Parking in the area is mostly paid, until 8pm but you have to have a bit of luck to find it nearby if you don't want to walk or wear high heels.

Refined and elegant à la carte sushi restaurant, with a rich and varied menu. The ability to order a la carte, with the option to reorder, makes the experience even more customizable. The service is quick and attentive, while the quality of the food is excellent, with well-balanced portions. The quality-price ratio is decidedly favorable. A further point in favor is the reporting of allergens on the menu, which demonstrates great attention to the customer.

Altissima qualità! Prezzi alti, ma la qualità è indiscutibile ed anche il servizio, uno dei migliori ristoranti di sushi

really nice place with a very elegant atmosphere. the menu is at another level both in terms of proposal and quality. recommended if you want to give yourself a superior experience. the price is not for everyone but it is well justified by the general level. I will definitely go back

The food was exceptional, with very interesting fusion between Japan and Italy

Nothing to say, the fish was as excellent as the service I will definitely go back
