Japanese Chef, it's an à la carte sushi restaurant with excellent value.
Excellent quality fish and traditional, even sophisticated, dishes.
I recommend it 100%.

I really like the warmth and intimacy of the place, I adore the cook and the focus on quality. The bathroom is spotless, and for me it was worth mentioning.

I already knew SushiMaki as I had been there a couple of times. I hadn't been there for a few years, so I took advantage of the new location's opening to return. The place is very nice, maintaining the style of the previous one with a larger space and, I think, a few more tables. The ambiance feels like it's been preserved, which is a very positive aspect for me.
You choose from a classic menu and then place your order using a tablet, which is also familiar to those who've had the opportunity to travel to Japan and other Southeast Asian countries.
The selection is definitely wide, but we already had an idea of what we wanted. We ordered a mixed tempura and then the ramen. The tempura was excellent, and, in keeping with Japanese tradition, it's really light. The ramen was good, with a decent number of ingredients, including egg. The flavor wasn't very intense; I think it would be a little more suited to local palates, but it's definitely a pleasant dish. We also tried the desserts, mochi, and ice cream, which we enjoyed.
What sets SushiMaki apart from other places? Definitely the owners and the staff in general: everyone is very kind and ready to help you if you're hungry. New to Japanese cuisine. Another strong point is the quality of the ingredients, which are undoubtedly top-notch.
Then there's a factor that many other restaurants don't have: the owner's wife, who also works there, is Japanese, and it's hard to find someone who knows Japanese cuisine better than her.
One final point: this is not an all-you-can-eat restaurant, also because there are no all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurants, and this is further confirmation that we are dealing with a true Japanese restaurant.

Delicious food, excellent quality, and what can I say about the service?! Everyone was so friendly. It's not all-you-can-eat, but you can definitely taste the difference. Highly recommended.

At this Japanese restaurant, the attention to detail is immediately apparent: each dish is the result of carefully selected ingredients and meticulous preparation, showcasing techniques and flavors without forcing them. In the dining room, Gianni stands out for his professionalism and grace, orchestrating the service with skill and restraint. In the kitchen, his wife—a chef of Japanese origin—expresses a precise and rigorous culinary vision, crafting dishes with a defined aromatic profile and a quality far superior to all-you-can-eat formats. This is a recommended destination for those seeking authenticity, balance, and a high-end gastronomic approach.

Hi, first of all, the owner was so kind on the phone, so I didn't think twice and went to the restaurant with my children.
A very nice place with a pleasant atmosphere, attentive service, and truly excellent food. The final bill was also reasonable. I highly recommend it for the next time.
P.S. It's a shame I don't live in Salento, but I'd definitely go there more often.
