I migliori ristoranti di cucina giapponese in Lucca

10/08/2025: You can eat really well here, and the waitresses are incredibly friendly. The men are a bit less friendly, and they make you pay for your seat. This might be normal in Italy, but we Dutch people don't have this.

04/08/2025: I didn't like it. The rice was particularly sticky and the fish slices were very thin. The spring rolls were cold inside, probably pre-fried and frozen. I ordered tempura that never arrived, and to top it off, they insisted my 7-year-old daughter pay the same as an adult (she ate six nigiri sushi). Since it's the only sushi place in the area, it has a bit of a monopoly, but you can find much better places in the city.

01/07/2025: I live in Lucca and before I never ate sushi anywhere, since I discovered kooka I loved it! Even take a way the taste is always excellent. The fish is quality, always fresh and the combinations are fantastic. The staff is always kind and helpful! The best in the province ♥️

23/06/2025: I ordered take away and found black hair in sushi roll … sushi are average

28/07/2025: We stumbled upon it by chance on a Sunday evening, without a reservation and with no expectations. The place is worth it because the food is excellent and plentiful, the service is prompt, and the wait is practically non-existent. The selection of authentically Japanese dishes is remarkable, with many variations and detailed explanations. The price is fair, and the music—strictly jazz—is absolutely unobtrusive and of high quality.

19/07/2025: We had an awful experience and they refused to serve us sushi for kids, drinks and desert just because it was not a sufficient order to cover 5 people table. Although music was great, the manager was too humiliating, especially trying to speak on “what he thought my native language was”. So we paid for water and “caperta” and left! If the service is not there, jazz can’t help!

10/07/2025: Great Japanese food with sushi and hot dishes. Very nice ambiance and friendly service. The only downside to the sushi is that you get too many sushi pieces per order, so you don't get to try the wide variety. Very good value for money! We enjoy coming here on our vacations.

30/06/2025: fried chicken arrived after an hour, lemon chicken was inedible. Cantonese rice was tasteless, chips were too salty. sushi was inedible. overpriced for what it is. would not recommend

13/06/2025: We arrived at Maki Maki at 11:30 PM, convinced we were going to have a great night, but it was a real disaster. After half an hour of being inside, no one had even bothered to bring us drinks. The guest of the evening arrived after 2 AM, an endless wait without any explanation or respect for those who had been there for hours. The icing on the cake? When I dared to complain — quite legitimately — about the fact that it was already 2:15 AM and still no one had shown up, a gentleman (I don't know what role he had, but he was behind the console) thought it best to answer me... by pushing me. A total lack of respect, professionalism and safety. Not only did they not even let us leave in the meantime, but the treatment was truly unacceptable. Overrated place, terrible organization and aggressive staff. I will never return and I advise anyone not to set foot there.

08/06/2025: We were a group of eight guys on a mission to throw a bachelor party to remember. Despite numerous warnings from locals — who recommended more elegant and relaxed environments in the Viareggio dock — we decided to challenge fate and cross the threshold of the infamous Maki Maki. As soon as we entered, we found ourselves catapulted into what seemed like a summer camp for teenagers: the average age at first glance lower than the right to vote in Italy. The service was a bit poor. The table was dirty when we arrived and the waiters were practically absent. And yet, between a kid looking for cigarettes and a few shaky drinks, the evening began to pick up pace. Good commercial music, surprisingly engaging entertainment girls, and the price was all in all fair for a nightclub in this area. A positive note to the very kind guy who served us a hookah at the table with a smile on his lips, saving the honor of the service. In short, Maki Maki is an experience that is somewhere between memories of teenage vacations and unexpected fun. Not for everyone, but if you're looking for music and a touch of the absurd, with the right mix of tequila shots, you might even come away satisfied.
