I migliori ristoranti di cucina giapponese in Milano

18/06/2025: Nice atmosphere and thought the staff was too, until I ordered something vegetarian (I pointed it out on the menu) and got served some dish that looked just the same but was not vegetarian… although I told the waitress in a nice way (mistakes happen) and did not blame her for that, she simply said it was her fault and I was still charged with both the non-vegetarian AND the vegetarian on my bill! I didn’t realize until I was away. I would have simply appreciated a gesture since I got to unwillingly eat fish for the first time in 10 years 🙃

14/05/2025: It remains one of my favorite restaurants

28/06/2025: I returned out of nostalgia. I left with regret. A couple of years ago, this place had won me over to the point of writing down what I had ordered, so I could relive the same experience. An illumination of flavors, atmosphere and attention to detail. Unfortunately, my recent visit had a very different flavor. And I'm not just talking about the food. - Disappointing cuisine The menu has changed (as it should be) but what arrived on the table had nothing of the care, quality or originality that I remembered. Ordinary dishes, without soul. I didn't find the flavors that had struck me and, what's worse, the new ones had no personality. A change of chef, perhaps? - Cocktails? A regression I ordered the same cocktails that two years ago had amazed me for their balance and originality (plus a new one). This time, however, they were cloying, heavy, and really unpleasant. The block of ice remains very large compared to the glass, but if before the rest was something extraordinary, now it seems only an aesthetic expedient to hide the small quantity. Here too, one wonders: is the bartender the same? - Digital menu: beautiful but not very useful The new menu with the animated background has its visual appeal, but lacks clarity. A step backwards in terms of user experience: those looking for flavors and combinations find themselves having to navigate an interface that is not very intuitive. Before, however, cocktails were even organized by flavors (for example, there was the Umami section, etc.) - Service: between unprofessionalism and nervousness The real blow to the heart, however, was the service. A waiter (glasses, graying beard, blue eyes) was surly and impatient from the first exchange. No explanation, no advice, only monosyllabic answers and an annoyed tone. Too bad, because two years ago we had been followed by a colleague who was able to illustrate and enhance each course, recommending cocktails to pair with it with professionalism and passion. - Online reservation: not a table but at the counter Perhaps it went so badly because the situation worsened as soon as we arrived, when, despite the reservation of a table, they wanted to make us sit at the counter - near the taps - claiming it was the "VIP" place. At my repeated request for a normal table (the place was empty!), we were finally granted a table with a limit of 90 minutes. The attitude of the one who was then our waiter, from that moment, became visibly unfriendly. "I don't understand what's wrong with the counter." - he asked me, in a surly tone (and then ... is there really a need to explain the preference?). In any case, from then on, no smile, no kindness. But be careful: only with us. With the table next to ours the same waiter was even joking. - Bitter cherry During dinner, the back of the metal chair tore my shirt. The same happened to the girl sitting next to us. It was the fault of the furniture, of course, but a detail that does not help improve the overall perception. - Positive notes It must be said: the barman and a second waiter were kind and helpful. And in the end, after paying 135 euros, we were even offered a mini-shot of sake each. A small gesture, which I appreciated. In short: an experience that I had in my heart turned into a disappointment. It is clear that something has changed (perhaps the staff, perhaps the management) but what is most sad is to see a place with such potential lose its shine and soul. A sincere piece of advice to the staff: take care of the details like you used to. Excellence is not just in the dish, but in the whole. Because it is truly a shame to see an experience that could still shine go out like this.

21/06/2025: Broad and brilliant choice of Japanese liquors

25/04/2025: Very quiet restaurant, courteous staff and good quality sushi absolutely in line with the price

06/04/2025: All you can eat, clean and tidy, with fast, attentive service and good, fresh products. To take into consideration

07/06/2025: SPECTACULAR place. Intimate, small. Super friendly staff, everything. From the waiters to the Chef. Everyone super friendly. The food? Without any half measures one of the best Japanese in the area. Only a la carte formula: better this way because here the quality is superior. Truly succulent traditional dishes. Must try. Super. Prices aligned (high) but for what you eat it is all appropriate. It will become the Japanese for special occasions. Top.

11/05/2025: We discovered Kokoro by chance and we were immediately intrigued. The experience confirmed our high expectations: the quality of the raw materials is perceived in every single dish, the workmanship and careful attention to flavor combinations makes every tasting unique. The intimate atmosphere and professional care of the service makes you feel at home. I recommend trying this authentic trip to Japan, we will definitely return in the future!

07/07/2025: All very good. Excellent quality, excellent value for money. Nice, well-kept place and friendly, helpful staff. I go back often

10/06/2025: Well, unfortunately this is the minimum vote that can be given, 0 is not possible. "Omnem spem, qui hic intratis, deponite." That is, abandon all hope, ye who enter here

01/06/2025: Elegant and clean place. They have a wide variety of dishes to choose from, not only classic dishes but also specialties. Pleasant instrumental background music at a very low volume. Very kind staff. Gem: the huge aquarium on the floor. Very relaxing to dine watching the carp swimming under your feet. One of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever been to.

23/05/2025: Characteristic Chinese restaurant in Ivrea. Pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. Personally, some dishes chosen were not to my liking. Interesting price

09/07/2025: Always perfect and excellent Very hospitable

03/07/2025: Small but very nice place. Convenient parking in Piazzale Tripoli. Very helpful waiters. The food was good, especially the fresh salmon. First time I've had a nice sorbet at a sushi place, very good.

06/07/2025: Always fresh fish and always available owners

06/07/2025: We have been Sakura customers for over a year and a half. The raw fish is always impeccable, the fish is of excellent quality and the service is excellent. The only flaw is the first courses, which have a more delicate and different flavor than usual. They have various types of menus to choose from and the price difference is well justified. The weekday lunch menu is around 19 euros, which is a little more than the average AYCE, but it is more than fair for the quality they offer. We now have a constant dish, which is the spicy salmon roll, which is heaven in the form of sushi. Highly recommended!

06/07/2025: I've been coming here for at least 5/6 years regularly and it's always a dream. The quality of the sushi has always been excellent, the service impeccable and the owner very nice - prices a little higher (it's not an all you can eat!) but it's absolutely worth it!!

24/06/2025: Amazing Japanese Dining Experience! During my visit to Milan, I visited with the family this modern Japanese restaurant. I was impressed by interpretation, presentation and flavor across a variety of dishes. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. Stylish interior and friendly service made the whole experience even better. Thank you to the owner for hospitality and warm welcome. Definitely worth to come back!

08/06/2025: Very friendly staff and really good food!!!!

19/06/2025: I had a delicious ramen...the delicate broth is the tasty and soft meat...overall a good dish.... The place is new and well structured. There is also a nice outdoor area.. Friendly staff

08/06/2025: Zazà the owner, in addition to being a great chef is a great person. Refinement, care and that right touch of ingenuity in each of his dishes. Bravo, greetings from Ludovico

18/06/2025: Food ok but service terrible. We went for lunch on a Friday (so you also expect to have a quick lunch break to get back to work), but we were greeted with almost non-existent service: 20 minutes to bring us the menu and a 20/30 minute wait for each course. Staff simply non-existent. Final gem, when the uramaki finally arrived they didn't even bring us plates, we had to eat at the table
