Probably one of the best sushi resto around Florence. With my favourite Satori Roll, Tiger Roll and Sashimi Mix. Better in individual or small group, in more than 4 people, the staff can get confused with the orders.

Simply the best Japanese all you can eat restaurant I've ever tried. The decoration and settings are gorgeous. The food is succulent and the service really quick and efficient. We spent a marvelous dinner in this restaurant and we were quiet a lot (12 persons), despite this, the service was really really fast, the waitress and waiter were very nice and sweet. Even the bathroom gives a Japanese temple atmosphere. The price quality ratio was astonished, so many choices in the menu and only for 28€, drinks and desserts are excluded but still worth the extra. I highly recommend it, the best Japanese restaurant in Firenze.

Really a great Restaurant. The food was extraordinary good, the place looks very stylish and the staff was friendly and helpful from the beginning, even though we didn't have a reservation. A big Thank You to Radu, being the one who spoke English very good and explained us the menu and recommended a very good bottle of Prosecco. Highly recommend!

From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the spectacular ambience — elegant, calm, and beautifully designed, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening. The fish was incredibly fresh and full of flavor, each piece of sushi prepared with great attention to detail and artistry. Every dish we tried was perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. The staff truly elevated our experience, caring, patient and genuinely friendly they made us feel welcomed and well looked after throughout the meal. A special mention goes to the ansonica wine from Elba, which paired wonderfully with the sushi and added a unique touch to the evening. Everything from start to finish was impeccable. It’s rare to find a place where every element (food, service, and atmosphere) comes together so harmoniously. Our experience was simply unforgettable, and we can’t wait to return! Pierre from Nice

Totally would recommend. All-you-can-eat type of service, so you can get plenty of tasteful stuff for a relatively low price. Also the atmosphere is really interesting

Was really hesitant at first. I read some reviews about “overpricing.” But my husband and I were pleasantly surprised. The fish was fresh, the staff was lovely and anticipating our needs, and the pricing was fair for the quality food they have. We left happy and full!

The food was delicious, we took all you can eat for lunch. The staff were very friendly and professional but we had to wait for a free table although we already had reservations due to the number of customers. The sushi was my favourite. There was a lot of diversity. We also took ravioli and fried Shrimp .
