"Ho cenato recentemente da Tokyo e nel complesso posso dire che l’esperienza è stata soddisfacente, anche se con alcuni aspetti migliorabili. Partiamo dal cibo, che si è rivelato buono, soprattutto considerando la media degli all you can eat. Il riso del sushi, elemento fondamentale per valutare la qualità di un ristorante giapponese, era generalmente ben cotto e gradevole al gusto. Tuttavia, in alcune porzioni tendeva a sbriciolarsi al momento di prenderlo con le bacchette, il che rendeva il boccone poco compatto e meno piacevole. In altri casi, invece, la consistenza era ottimale. Un aspetto che mi ha colpito negativamente è stato il sistema di ordinazione, decisamente retrò: il cliente deve compilare a mano un bigliettino con i codici delle portate, in quanto non sono presenti tablet ai tavoli, come invece accade ormai in moltissimi ristoranti simili. Questo metodo rallenta il processo e lo rende meno pratico, soprattutto se si è in gruppo o se si vogliono fare più ordini nel corso della cena. Il bagno era pulito e curato, un dettaglio sempre apprezzabile e non scontato, e anche questo contribuisce a dare un’impressione positiva del locale. La location è nella media: senza infamia e senza lode. L’arredamento è semplice e funzionale, ma non particolarmente caratteristico o d’atmosfera, soprattutto se paragonato ad altri ristoranti giapponesi della zona, dove il design e l’illuminazione sono parte integrante dell’esperienza. Nota assolutamente positiva per lo staff, che si è dimostrato gentile, sorridente e disponibile per tutta la durata della cena. Questo contribuisce senz’altro ad aumentare la stima verso il locale e a far sentire i clienti a proprio agio. Sul fronte del prezzo, ci troviamo in una fascia nella media per un all you can eat, ma visti la scelta limitata del menu e l’esperienza complessiva, forse un paio di euro in meno avrebbero reso il rapporto qualità-prezzo più equilibrato. Conclusione: un ristorante con del potenziale, che offre un’esperienza nel complesso positiva, soprattutto grazie alla cortesia dello staff e a un sushi dignitoso. Con qualche ammodernamento nel sistema di ordinazione e maggiore cura nei dettagli, potrebbe facilmente fare un salto di qualità."

"Servizio molto veloce e locale accogliente e si può mangiare anche fuori. Sul cibo invece qualche punto interrogativo. I gamberi e il pesce erano freschi quindi promossi. Un no invece sulla pasta. Gli Yakiudon ossia la pasta più grossa era bollita con l'acqua e non cucinata alla piastra come va di tendenza e quindi perdendo quel caratteristico sapore "scottato". Mentre per gli spaghetti di soia la carne di maiale erana triturata e non a pezzetti. Lascio quattro stelle su cinque."

"Super amazing place with a lovely decor! Love it completely! Food was amazing and very nice courteous staff especially Viola! But I would give this place a 4 star because for the value for money! Very pricey for all you can eat in the south of Italy! In Rome one can eat good sushi for all you can eat at 14 euros!"
