YAMADA HAUSU In Firenze

These people are the real deal. Food is on point. I was a bit disappointed with how small of a portion my ramen was, but everything was delicious enough for me to come back and try other dishes.

Intrigued by Japanese culture, having already experienced it authentically on a trip to Japan, we wanted to give this place a try. The food was good and had unique, well-matched flavors, but you can't afford to pay €10 for three pumpkin meatballs, and the main courses are tiny portions. They're presented as sharing dishes, but in reality, they're not even enough for one person. We paid €80 for four appetizers, and I left still hungry. We didn't even order wine; we had hot tea to accompany our meals, as is customary in Japan. We paid €8 for tea, which was delivered late after the meals were already finished. It's a great, innovative concept, but they should reconsider the prices and portions, because I wouldn't recommend it or return for now.

I had the pleasure of visiting this place for lunch over the weekend. The staff was very kind and friendly, but I didn't find the service itself to be incredible. The place itself is nice, but honestly, it doesn't have much of a Japanese feel, and overall, I think it could be more refined. For example, the decor seemed a bit random; there was a skateboard hanging on the wall that didn't really fit in, and even the tables—at least ours and the two next to them—looked a bit worn (but they were clean, of course). Finally, the food should be the highlight, and indeed it is; everything is delicious and carefully prepared, but I think there's a big problem with all of this: the prices. €70 for two first courses, two appetizers, and a dessert might not seem like a lot, except that I left the place far from satisfied. Even my girlfriend, who definitely has a smaller appetite than me, was hungry, which I think is a big problem. For example, for €17 for katsudon, there's no way you'd serve it to me without the accompanying rice, which costs €4 each. It seems crazy to me. If the portions were a little larger or the prices were relatively lower, they would be much better. I'm definitely not expecting to gorge myself, because that's not the point of the place, but for all those grains of rice, if I leave a place hungry, I think there's something wrong.

Good Japanese restaurant in Milan. The chef and owner are Japanese, and you can taste the difference. The ramen is excellent. We'll be back.

Excellent, I've tried several Japanese restaurants in Milan, one of the best.

I didn't find it very good. I didn't find anything exceptional. But that's my opinion. Prices a bit too high compared to the dishes. Service not very convincing in explaining the dishes. If you sell special sake (24€ 50cl), the menu must be very clear, not with numbers that are barely legible. But above all, special sakes need to be talked about. In conclusion, the place lacks communication with customers.
