The fresh water eel is very good and comes with grapes, bean sprout salad a small portion of sukiaki pork with miso soup. This not a fancy restaurant by any means. Flimsy paper napkins and bamboo chop sticks for fast food. The taste and quality seemed better than average and the staff was polite and efficient.

Top notch ramen preparation with excellent broth and noodles. I would highly recommend the ramen here. Tempura was priced on the higher end, the batter wasn't as crisp and light as I would have liked for a perfect presentation. However the sauce that it came with was amazing ! It had this umami taste and it was one of the best tempura sauces that I have ever tasted. We love Kama and order it at every Japanese restaurant that we go to. It had a good flavor, I wish it had more of char to it but the collar was a good size and came with a piece of fish. The accompany sauce was good but I felt like we went back to the tempura sauce all the time. The Gyoza was well prepared. Kids loved it and it hit the spot for the asian taste that we were looking for.

Unfortunately due to some unforeseen circumstances, I fell ill in the earlier days and therefore had to try some more supposedly soothing items from their menu as opposed to their classic tasting menu which I was eager to try. These items unfortunately fell a bit flat (despite me having no appetite to send it back), but I feel like could perhaps be removed from their menu as a whole as their amuse buche really highlights their true potential. The restaurant exhibits the Milan elegance and high bar for quality of service which is a pleasant sight to see. (Amuse Buche: A+) - The best part of the meal, featuring a salted meringue with immense yuzu dashi flavors; a classic takoyaki, very crispy and fresh; and yuzu jelly, fresh and refreshing. (Forest Mocktail: B) - The aesthetic is a bit mundane, but I do like the tropical and citron notes coming through. (Ravioli in Broth: C) - This take on pork dumplings uses an unpleasanty thick dough and a very rough version of pork that is not pleasant in texture. I do like the flavors coming through with the cardamom in broth and spiciness from the dumpling though. (Yakisoba: F) - The conception of this dish is promising with a varied number of vegetables providing different textural elements, but the overall dish needs to be much more dry and cooked on a grill to not have a residual gravy. Furthermore, it is far too salty. Food: E Presentation: +1 Price: -1 Atmosphere: +1 Service: E Menu: +2 Overall: 4 stars Insta/Yelp/Beli/TikTok: @amei_eats

I have to say, that Berlin and London spoils sushi fans with varieties of sushi, that you'll rarely find in Italy apart from the soho cafe, but it still, if I pay premium for it, I want the perfect fish: fresh, just incredibly fresh and this place doesn't always live up to that. All the other dishes I tried were quiet good, but you need to enjoy fusion food to leave happy. Anyhow, I give a large one star bonus on top, for the nice garden in the back. I love eating outside and in Milan places accommodating that need are rare!

AJI was only a 3-minute walk away from our hotel and take-away was fast and convenient, exactly what we needed after a long day of exploring. This place excels at take away & delivery, there are only 11 spots to actually sit inside to eat. The interior is chic and welcoming. The service was friendly and unpretentious both nights we came. And the quality of ingredients for what they charge is a gem in this city. We spent under 30€ total each time we went and were very full. I had to make a profile for them on here because they were not listed. (Not many Yelp reviews in Italy.) I just had to share my great experience and wish you the same.

The location is slightly off the beaten path and within close proximity of the Japanese School (of Via Arzaga) of Milan. Once you enter the redraurant, you are welcomed by quite a collection of mangas and Japanese knick knacks. Following your waiter, you are seated to you table and given a menu that resembles more like a Michelin guide than the average menu. I ought to admit that, every time i see a menu that goes of for more than a few pages, i get overwhelmed, intimidated and, after a little while, a bit annoyed. I appreciate the thoroughness of the menu. The fact that almost ALL the plates are followed by a pictorial tutorial as well as a minimal explanation. I wanted to try the fatty tuna but could not decide which combo to choose which meant i ended up NOT getting it. Though, undoubtedly, the fish is extremely fresh and the quality of the ingredients is way above the average standard offered in Milan, i find it a bit on the expensive and the tiny portion side. I also have to agree with my fellow dinner companions. Though the sushi was impeccable and fairly prompt in being delivered, those who opted for cooked dishes had to either wait quite a bit or solicit repeatedly. I would totally recommend to those who want to have a true japanese restaurant experience, though i must warn the price tag will NOT be for the faint of hearts.

I tend to be skeptical of Asian food in European countries but was delightfully surprised by this find. To combat the hangover from the night before and the drizzle weather of October, I stopped in on this ramen shop. The inside was Japanese styled with wooden booths, separating the booths from the rest of the restaurant with fabric hanging partitions. Best thing on the menu: Buta-tama Tonkatsu Ramen - Creamy Hakata styled ramen with a hint of miso and pork flavoring Ambiance - bustling, less light than usual Japanese inspired cedar booths and decor that plays English Top 40s music

We randomly stumbled on this brand in Amsterdam and was happy to find another location in Milan - Just opened earlier 2019. We all had the nankou chicken ramen because this was the winner when we first tried Takumi. The ramen noodles were curly and cooked slightly over al dente. Broth was so creamy and rich I was impolitely drinking off of everyone's bowl (don't worry, no milk in there for those who are allergic to dairy). A pleasant surprise was how crispy the chicken skin was. Cooked as if it's traditional Chinese roasted pork with a lot of good flavor on both the meat and skin. The spicy miso with seafood is good too... though not as memorable as the nankou chicken ramen. Also recommend the housemade iced tea and the spicy okonomiyaki karaage chicken.
