I migliori ristoranti di cucina giapponese in Puglia

17/01/2026: Great experience, fast and efficient service. Very good food.

09/01/2026: Everything was perfect, my favorite sushi, friendly waiters and fast service

23/03/2026: The place was closed after a birthday reservation and no one bothered to notify us, we found the shutter closed upon arrival

14/03/2026: Fabulous, wonderful, fantastic, a heavenly restaurant. Everything was delicious and presented with unique elegance. Perhaps the best restaurant I've ever eaten at. Affordable and spotlessly clean.

11/04/2026: I recently visited this sushi restaurant and the overall experience was truly positive. The food deserves a solid 4/5: the fish was fresh and beautifully presented, with a good variety of dishes on the menu. Some of the dishes were truly excellent, although there's still room for improvement to reach absolute excellence. The service, however, was impeccable (5/5). The staff was friendly, attentive, and always available, without ever being intrusive. Wait times were short, and everything was handled with great professionalism. The ambiance is another strong point (5/5): a refined, elegant, and relaxing place, perfect for both a romantic dinner and an evening with friends. The atmosphere truly contributes to a pleasant experience. In conclusion, a restaurant I definitely recommend, especially for those looking for quality, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. 🍣 Compliments to the staff

06/02/2026: Excellent restaurant in the heart of Corigliano d'Otranto. The all-you-can-eat menu is excellent, with excellent value and dishes that are both beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. The staff is attentive to detail, friendly, and very professional. We had a wonderful, relaxing evening with friends. I will definitely be back.

21/10/2025: Punctuality, courtesy, authenticity. Everything was excellent.

10/10/2025: Ordered via app, they respected the delivery time, very friendly and helpful staff.

10/05/2026: Superlative Japanese and Thai restaurant. Refined dishes, meticulous attention to detail, and excellent ingredients. The staff is friendly and helpful. For sushi lovers, it's a sensory paradise. I ordered salmon and avocado tartare, huramaki, takoyaki fishballs, a sake no shimofuri, and for dessert, a salted caramel tart with caramelized strawberries and mango sorbet. Everything was delicious.

05/04/2026: A rather disappointing experience. Despite it being a Saturday night, the restaurant was half empty, which already left us with some reservations. The dishes, both the Thai cuisine and the sushi, weren't to our liking. It must be said that the dishes were beautifully presented, but unfortunately, the tastes weren't up to par. In particular, the Thai dishes lacked authenticity: the ingredients used and the balance of flavors didn't evoke traditional Asian cuisine. We found an excessive use of carrot and ginger, and overall, everything tasted too sweet and "Italianized." I love Asian cuisine, especially Thai, but the flavors here were far from authentic. Furthermore, the shrimp in the Pad Thai had an unpleasant flavor. The quality of the meat wasn't up to par either: the beef was integer and difficult to eat. The spring rolls were very small, with an undefined filling and still dominated by the ginger flavor. As for the sushi, we weren't convinced by the flavors either. Finally, the restaurant has heavy furnishings and a somewhat dated style, which doesn't contribute to a pleasant experience. Furthermore, the prices are too high for the quality offered, making the value for money decidedly unsatisfactory. I would also add that reviews should be a useful tool for improvement: it's not pleasant to read responses about the restaurant like those found in other reviews. In these cases, it would be better to acknowledge the criticism or choose not to respond.

06/05/2026: Highly recommend! So impressed tasty food great service. We ordered the special of the day pasta with cubed fresh monkfish cooked in a flavorful light yellow tomato sauce which compliments it perfectly, hubby had the perfectly grilled octopus in a broad bean purée & chicory.

02/05/2026: Excellent service, very kind and friendly. Everything was high-quality and delicious. Highly recommended.

10/05/2026: I went there yesterday with my son. The atmosphere was relaxing and peaceful. The service was impeccable, prompt, and polite, with good timing (I've been to places where they didn't give you time to finish the appetizers before they brought you the first course). The dishes were very well presented and excellent. The atmosphere was relaxing and clean, and I'd definitely do it again. 5 stars are definitely deserved.

04/05/2026: Spoiled food, strange taste and we felt sick after eating sushi 🍣never again

09/03/2026: We went for lunch on Sunday, elegant place, very long waiting times, inattentive and very distracted staff, dishes ordered and never arrived, average food.

08/03/2026: We ate at Hanami on a Saturday night; the atmosphere is very elegant and refined. The service appears good, but sometimes dishes marked as delivered aren't actually delivered, and they have to be reordered, causing confusion at the table. In terms of speed, you can't beat a packed house on a Saturday night. The food is okay, but given the price, I expected something more refined and unique.

15/04/2026: Decent, in line with other Japanese-Chinese all you can eat restaurants, but it could be better.

08/04/2026: Reviewed by my 9 year old daughter 🤣. Beautiful, it's good, nothing special but the service was excellent, excellent cleanliness and a beautiful atmosphere, everyone treated you very well, the menu was very easy and with very good and special things, beautiful, thank you because they also give away a delicious biscuit ❤️

19/04/2026: We had lunch at this beautiful place today, and were greeted with such courtesy and kindness!!! The place is beautiful, clean, and very large...we ordered right away, and the dishes arrived quickly. Each dish was better than the last; it was truly a very enjoyable lunch!! It was also a chance for my son, who is very passionate about it, to practice some Chinese words. ☺️🤗 We'll be back again, with immense pleasure, and I recommend you try this beautiful place. ❤️

18/03/2026: It's my first time eating at this restaurant for lunch. The location is very nice, the food is good, as is the service and the staff are friendly. There's a small drawback: there are no tablets for ordering or a smartphone app. However, there's a menu you can consult on your smartphone by scanning the QR code, and then you write down your dishes on a pre-printed sheet of paper that the staff will then collect. Recommended.

10/05/2026: I visited this restaurant with my family for the first time. Finding parking wasn't easy, but as soon as we entered we were greeted warmly. At first glance, the place made a good impression: spacious, well-kept, and clearly recently opened. Our table was in a room with mirrored walls that didn't look too sharp, a detail I appreciated. To order, we used the QR code and filled out the order with pen and paper. I really appreciated the fact that, after taking the order, the waiter left a copy of the order at the table. However, there were some lapses during service: one dish never arrived, while others were brought to us by mistake and then sent back. For another dish, we had to request service because it hadn't been delivered. Overall, the service was good and quick, but not impeccable. The sashimi and tartare were very good. Compared to other similar restaurants, however, the scampi, raw shrimp, and oysters were missing. The restaurant's real strength is the rolls, which are truly well-made. The grilled shrimp are also excellent. The first courses and some second courses are weaker, however: I found the first courses, in particular, to be lacking in flavor. The bill is on the high side. I'd need a few more reasons to return.

05/05/2026: We stopped by chance, we got a bao with salmon but it disappointed me, the salmon was dry and the bread seemed industrial. The rest of the rolls were not exceptional, they seemed prepared hours before, especially the rolls with the shrimp temperature inside, rubbery and lukewarm. I will not go back

19/08/2025: The food is good, and the tables are good, but unless you have two hours available for lunch, it could be a problem. We arrived at 1 PM and ordered right afterward. The place was half empty, and we waited an hour and a half for five sushi orders. You can wait that long sitting at a table watching the waiters upstairs and downstairs bring dishes, and yours never arrives.

29/06/2025: I was truly impressed by this restaurant: the sushi is incredibly fresh, carefully prepared, and elegantly presented. Every bite is an explosion of flavor, especially the nigiri and special uramaki, which are a must-try! The staff is friendly, helpful, and attentive, without ever being intrusive. The atmosphere is relaxing and refined, perfect for both a romantic dinner and an evening with friends. The value for money is also excellent, considering the quality of the fish and the variety of the menu. I will definitely be back!

28/03/2026: We returned to Kaori after the change of management. The welcome was immediately pleasant, and the atmosphere suited the setting, with just the right amount of lighting that didn't tire us out throughout the entire dinner. We mostly love eating at the counter, and here we immediately met Thiago, a Brazilian-born chef with experience at various sushi restaurants, including Nobu Milano. Speaking with him, we immediately understood his passion for his work and his dedication to listening to his customers' needs. The right amount of dialogue and surprises the chef offers are crucial to the omasake experience, and in our case, we also share his love for citrusy, bolder flavors, unlike the current trend at most sushi restaurants, making the dishes extremely sweet with the magical soy sauce that covers everything. In short, the perfect blend of Oriental and local flavors that the Kaori staff manages to convey.

01/02/2026: It's a shame that the Kaorino cocktail bar isn't a standalone review (only the restaurant is listed here), because it deserves its own review. A very refined location, an intimate and private atmosphere, and well-crafted cocktails. The only thing I can't justify is the €3 cover charge per person: we dined at the bar, with no table service and not even water included. In other cities or abroad, similar service is accompanied by tangible elements (filtered water, welcome snacks, table setting). A pleasant experience, but this detail completely clashes with the quality of the concept.

24/01/2026: A very pleasant experience...I would go back

11/01/2026: Everything was good, except that when I asked if oysters were available, they served them to me and then I paid for them separately, telling me they were only offered at dinner. If I had known, I wouldn't have ordered them.
