I migliori ristoranti di cucina giapponese in Palermo

22/09/2025: We've been longtime customers, but we must unfortunately report that as of yesterday, we've decided not to return to your restaurant. The service has drastically deteriorated compared to the past. We noticed that at the beginning of service, between the first and second shifts, if there are only a few orders, the dishes arrive regularly. However, if you place a larger order, or order later, the dishes no longer arrive: they appear as "out" on the app, but are never served. Despite numerous reminders, we were unable to receive what we requested. Added to this, the fact that drinks are paid for, but we were served water we hadn't ordered, which we didn't appreciate at all. We were seated at the 1:00 PM table and got up at 2:30 PM, after waiting in vain for the dishes we ordered but never received. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time this has happened.

21/09/2025: On September 21, 2025, at lunchtime, I visited Sakura Restaurant on Via Imperatore Federico. I'd like to start by saying that I've been a customer there for over three years and have always appreciated their approach. The staff were friendly and helpful, the atmosphere welcoming and comfortable, and, last but not least, the food was excellent. However, after today, I had to pick up some of what I just mentioned. Upon arriving at the restaurant on the aforementioned date, I experienced terrible service. Arriving around 1:30 PM after ordering, I was greeted with a significantly delayed delivery compared to usual. After waiting a while, realizing the restaurant was crowded today, I didn't immediately report the problem. However, as the minutes passed, I began to doubt whether to check how many and which dishes had actually been brought, noticing that the quantities served apparently didn't match the orders. In fact, many dishes were marked as served or ready to be delivered to the table. Dishes that still haven't arrived even after half an hour. Referring to one of the latter, I noticed that the nigiri rice was quite undercooked. However, leaving aside this detail, which could be a small oversight (considering that all the other rice-based dishes, including the Cantonese risotto, were cooked well), I'd like to focus on not all, but some of the staff. Some—and I emphasize only some—waiters, when I called them to ask for certain information, didn't turn around, and we had to call them several times to be heard. Despite this, given the confusion, it could also be that my voices and those of my tablemates were barely audible. While this is forgivable, I don't think I can tolerate another incident. At one point, in fact, we asked a waiter if he could bring us what I remember as fried futomaki. The waiter noted this, and after a few minutes, approaching a table of customers who had just left, I thought I saw him, in the distance, take an untouched plate from the empty table and shortly thereafter bring it to us. Of course, this could have just been a perception, but since futomaki was fried, it shouldn't have been cold and slightly dry, but lukewarm, which it wasn't. This made me think I hadn't completely misjudged the dish. Nevertheless, we had the plate taken back. At 2:20 PM, many of the dishes we'd ordered still hadn't arrived or were incorrect, such as a salmon carpaccio I'd ordered, which was served mixed with tuna carpaccio. Returning to the subject of the staff, I'd like to point out that not all the waiters behaved as described above. Indeed, a very kind and helpful waiter, after explaining the problems we'd had solely with incorrectly delivered dishes and the wait times, attempted to resolve the issue and was kind enough to note the undelivered dishes that weren't marked as such. After a few minutes, the dishes arrived. We also asked the staff if the chef had changed. The response was positive, and it was discovered that the novice had had issues with orders not only at our table but also at other tables. I should point out that an acquaintance of mine told me she'd been to the restaurant about two weeks earlier and that none of this had occurred. Therefore, I'm forced to say that, as fresh as the fish is and the atmosphere is welcoming, until a chef capable of properly managing the kitchen is hired, I won't be returning to Sakura Restaurant for a while.

13/09/2025: Asian restaurant with a view of Cefalù Cathedral, friendly staff, excellent service, and delicious food. It's not your typical all-you-can-eat restaurant; the menu is à la carte, and the dishes are well-prepared.

03/08/2025: I'm trying again after two years. Thanks to Marco Larosa, last night my husband and I spent a wonderful evening in a very evocative location, with excellent dishes made with top-quality ingredients, expertly prepared by expert hands. You're wondering where? All this at the Naka Restaurant, drinks & sushi with Mediterranean cuisine, right at the foot of Her Majesty the Cathedral. You can dine both inside and outside: we opted for the outside. The place is truly refined, very elegant. The table setting is very minimal, but with very refined touches, from the lamp to the metal chopsticks. Not to mention the real gem that really makes a difference these days...the champagne served in its 1920s-style glass. Truly remarkable!! (Enough with champagne served in a Prosecco flute... here at Naka, class is not water 😉.) Let's get to the food: the menu is well-described, divided into two lists for sushi and Mediterranean dishes. We opted for sushi; I don't remember the names of the dishes, but with sea urchins, Mazzara red shrimp, truffle, tuna, salmon...seaweed, and the excellent rice, it was a true taste experience, and each piece was an explosion of distinct flavors that blended divinely. In short, Naka confirms itself as a top place to return to again and again with great pleasure and the certainty of not being disappointed. The wait staff is attentive, discreet, and present, but never intrusive. Marco Larosa is an excellent host, always smiling and kind, ready to satisfy every desire. The price is absolutely in line with what Naka offers.

04/10/2025: I've been ordering poke here since it opened, and I've always noticed a gradual decline in quality. But never like today. I asked for a very simple poke, with two chicken pieces (they arrived just two pieces), quinoa, and a few other ingredients, and yet they managed to forget one ingredient and the only sauce I asked for (yogurt). I've never had a more tasteless poke, and I think I'll change.

03/10/2025: I ate very well, they have a wide choice of food from sushi to starters and second courses.... And there is a car park in front of the restaurant

17/06/2025: First time in this wonderful place, with a spectacular system of professionalism and order, a very kind and polite service, waiter who accompanied us throughout our lunch giving advice and howard welcomed us warmly helping us with the order and above all very friendly.

15/06/2025: Everything is top-notch. Sushi of the highest possible quality for an all-you-can-eat experience. Recommendation: calamari fritti salt and pepper. Anyone who doesn't give it 4 or 5 stars has no idea. Volpe.

04/09/2025: I'm sorry but it smells so bad and eating is just as bad

28/08/2025: Very good food, never had any problems. The sushi is just the right size without the unpleasant feeling of a full mouth.
