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.

Poporoya is the first Japanese joint in Milan, and by far the best one.

Shiro's chirashi is one of the tastiest and best I ever tried (and I spent a cumulative 18 weeks in Japan over the years).

There are not many tables,however there are four tables outside. It is quite cold here in November at night so they have two heaters in their tent. There are also blankets available. You have to order from a table as you walk in and are served at a table when one becomes available. 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.

This restaurant offers the Italian usual: salmon and tuna, with just one dish that offered hamachi... so with that out of the way; I like the restaurant and think their presentation is great. But it was hard to order with its large menu and high pricing - although I appreciated the menu showing pictures for every dish - but there just were too many options of the same fish. For me; if the sushi restaurant can offer a lot of variety of Salmon and tuna dishes, but not much else, their costs are already marginalized versus a restaurant that can offer unagi, toro, and other fishes I mentioned above so their pricing wasn't entirely fair although service was GREAT. Presentation was great and I liked they offered salmon and quail egg options as that hit the spot after having too much Italian during this trip... their dishes were good as pictured. I think my glass of Spumante (aka Prosecco/champagne) was only 3 or 4 euros - something incredibly dirt cheap which was nice. I am more inclined to give this place a 4.5star but there isn't an option.

Hmm... I came from Canada and lived in both Vancouver and Toronto and I have to say if this place…read moreis in Canada I will give it only 1/5... sorry. The portion is the smallest I have ever seen in my life. 15 euros for a tiny plate of squished sushi set... and I am not even half full. Some pieces of the nigiri also have that "sea taste". Not sure if it is a good sign or the contrary. The quality isn't bad. But not justified for the price. I also ordered seafood salad. The salad is larger than I expected, but the salad sauce, which is a typical citrus ponzu mix, is nowhere comparable to the ones in Canada. It tastes bitter, not savoury. Anyways. Thank you for the friendly service. I wish you the best amid the terrible pandemic but I don't think I will be back anymore...
