I migliori ristoranti di cucina giapponese in Catania

19/12/2025: Good food but not exceptional, atmosphere, next to our table near the window a huge cobweb, but the thing that bothered me most was a terrible glass of white wine €10 and €4 cover charge where they don't even bring you a breadstick!

17/12/2025: If you're looking for an authentic and tasty experience, this is the place to be. The sushi is fresh and top-quality, with tender fish and perfect rice. Don't miss the nigiri and creative rolls like the one with salmon, avocado, and teriyaki sauce. The service is impeccable, with attentive staff happy to recommend the perfect sake pairing. A truly unforgettable gastronomic experience!

14/12/2025: Delicious sushi and more! The cooked food is also good, including the steamed dumplings (hard to find decent ones in the area). Highly recommended; skip the other sushi places that are famous and overpriced.

12/12/2025: Among the best sushi in Catania

29/12/2025: The QR code menu is a big turnoff. If you don't eat here often or eat Japanese you will struggle. We had to ask for a pen and paper so we can write down what we wanted. Then we got told the sake I picked wasn't available. Food was good and fresh but quite expensive compared to what we generally have.

21/12/2025: My partner and I were the last to arrive at this restaurant for the first time, at a dinner party. We noticed there were more guests than there were seats at the table. There was a bit of organizational chaos until everyone squeezed in a bit and two of us were seated at a separate table. While they were busy setting the table, we politely asked them to set the table for our two guests, who were missing everything since they'd been added to the main table and wanted, like the others, to start with the prosecco. Nothing. The girl approached twice, carrying glasses, and was invited by the owner to return to her seat. After a while, they arrived, but the prosecco had already gotten too warm. From that moment on, no matter what we asked for—from forks to water or more prosecco—we were incredibly ignored or, at any rate, always served last. When the owner approached and asked how things were going, I called him aside, politely inviting him to pay more attention. He clearly explained that the problem was related to the fact that there were more guests than expected, and I realized he was perhaps trying to take some of the frustration out on us since we were the last to arrive. Our only fault. I want to point out that our participation had been planned with the provider by email for days; we weren't the ones with extra guests. The idea was to leave at that point, but we didn't want to be disrespectful to those who invited us and the sponsor (who drove us). And the overall three stars are due to their kindness, certainly not to the location, but I'm not in the habit of writing negative reviews, especially not negative ones. Realizing we'd been targeted and had to stay, we avoided asking for anything else. Even the cake, despite being seated at the table waiting for it to be brought to us and sitting closest to the cutting area, was served first to the others standing, placed in vacant seats belonging to some of us who had already left, and even offered to tables outside our group rather than have it brought to us. The same thing had happened shortly before with the sake and the bitters; we didn't have the pleasure of anyone approaching to ask. Humiliated from start to finish, we left without tasting it and, given the obvious and repeated shortcomings toward us, refrained from greeting the owners—it's not my habit. I have no comment on the food, which many at the table considered excellent, as I would be affected by the poor service and bad mood, although the evening overall was a success and pleasantly enlivened by a band brought by the organizers. Unfortunately, I'll have to walk past there who knows how many more times since I've recently started working very close by, but I'll try to find an alternative route, ignoring them forever, like they did with me all evening.

04/01/2026: The service was awful, the wait was incredibly long, and almost no waiter spoke Italian. Management must have changed, because it's never been this bad in any way... I wouldn't be surprised if it closed soon.

03/01/2026: We arrived around 8:40 PM. After a long time, they only brought us fries and fried chicken. Then they got one dish wrong and served us shrimp uramaki, even though I have an allergy. After trying them, I seriously risked anaphylactic shock: a very serious situation that demonstrates a complete lack of attention to allergies. In the meantime, we had ordered about 20 dishes, but almost nothing ever arrived. We called at least three waiters, who unfortunately didn't speak Italian, making it impossible to communicate properly. We were reassured several times, but to no avail. At 10:15 PM, tired and disappointed, seeing that only the wrong dishes continued to arrive, we decided to leave. I left €25 on the table to cover water, Coke, the service charge, and the few dishes that actually arrived (ravioli, fries, fried chicken, and salmon uramaki). When we left, everyone noticed us, and a waiter chased us outside, demanding we go back inside to speak to the owners. When I refused, one guy even suggested taking the license plate, a truly unpleasant episode. A nightmare evening, total disorganization, and, worst of all, no safety measures for those with allergies. I will never return and I strongly advise against the place.

02/10/2025: A place like few others these days. Clean, reliable, punctual, and friendly. Agua Loca is one of the best I've tried so far. I ordered some poke to go. I must say that their willingness to deliver to two different cities had already convinced me to stay a customer, but considering how delicious they are... I'd say even better! The staff is incredibly kind, especially the cashier, Ms. Sara, who is incredibly kind, friendly, and humble. She helped me a lot in placing an order of 5 poke without ever losing her temper. She's a girl worth getting to know personally and wishing him the best in life.

01/10/2025: In one word? WOW! Every poke amazes me, every time a feast for the eyes and the palate!

17/12/2025: Not much sushi, otherwise the same menu. The waiters were helpful. I spilled something last night. I won't be going back.

04/12/2025: Terrible!!!! We stayed there for a miserable week. Never again, never again. It's a shame about the star rating; it doesn't even deserve that.

23/07/2025: My boyfriend and I went to this place based on the more or less positive reviews. First of all, I booked, mainly because I knew from their website and online that they had hookah. I arrived and was told it wasn't available. I should have at least let them know. Anyway, we sat down and they pushed us to order the all-you-can-eat option, but in the meantime, we decided to try the sushi. The prices were really high, but anyway, we ordered a few pieces of sushi from the menu. As soon as they put the tuna sashimi on the table, it looked normal in color. As soon as I took the first piece and put it in my mouth, I immediately noticed the unpleasant fishy odor. Nauseous. I won't even tell you about the taste, it was awful. The most disgusting sushi I've ever eaten (and they just put it on the menu, and I don't even mention the prices because they're so exorbitant). I wouldn't have given it a cent! We ate with hesitation about the quality of the fish, and I'm of the opinion that sushi should be treated with care, as you don't mess with raw fish! We ate these raw pieces of sushi, almost having to force ourselves to eat them, because it was like eating spoiled fish. It was definitely a result of improper freezing and terrible preservation in the July heat. We ate, hesitant, thinking something might happen, and it did. In the evening, we went home and I felt terrible! It wasn't even Saturday, and there was no one there! Weekdays are usually when they take more care of the food and the customers, as there's less commotion. The food was poor, extremely low quality; I even felt sick! Who knows how it could have ended! No, no, no! And then the value for money was completely outrageous. I've eaten quality sushi at quality places for much less... It's a shame because it could have been a nice place and made a good profit. The waiters were a bit rude, and after we finished the sushi without asking for anything, they brought us the bill without asking, almost as if they were kicking us out. Bah!

20/07/2025: The thing I'll definitely remember about this place is the utter rudeness and listlessness of the young man who greeted us. When it was time to order, he seemed indisposed and rolled his eyes at every request we made, including mentioning a food allergy to strawberries. His attitude was one of utter annoyance and condescension. Fortunately, he was replaced by a young woman later in the evening. It's a shame because the sushi was decent. I wouldn't recommend it for celiacs, considering my husband had a twinge shortly afterward.

21/12/2025: In Giarre. Corso Italia 167. Corner of Piazza San Francesco d'Assisi 1. Lunch and dinner. Catering. Eat-in. Takeout. Home delivery. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are also available. We're pleased to report that our staff is welcoming and available to meet your needs.

14/08/2025: Edamame - different peas, big and small, and lots of old peas((

19/06/2025: Leaving aside the failure to deliver a maki, after spending 150 euros I find myself receiving a hot product that does not respect the "cold chain" (which is not appropriate for a delicate dish like sushi). As you can see from the photos, the fish looks ugly, has a dubious consistency - an appearance that makes you think of a spoiled product - and above all has a highly unpleasant flavor. I hope it was an unfortunate exception, but I doubt it. PS: The delicacy in the delivery is remarkable: the soy sauce was inside a plastic cup covered with transparent film and the entire order was served in two makeshift plastic bags.

03/06/2025: terrible experience lenses don't speak the language well I found a hair in my seafood soup and was accused of putting it there

03/01/2026: I found the food and atmosphere quite welcoming and I had no problems except for the service, I waited 30 minutes for a donut and a mc flurry

16/12/2025: Slow, cold food, not enough bacon in the fries and sandwich. But you can't say the food isn't good.
