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).

We visited Poporoya while here from the United States. The Japanese food in California is…read moreexcellent so we might be a little spoiled. The establishment is very small and cramped. 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.

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.

I wasn't sure how good a Japanese place in Milan would be, but was pleasantly surprised. A little on the expensive side, but worth it. Staff speaks Italian (obviously) and more than enough English to order comfortably. With Japanese it's easy enough to just use the Japanese terms.

I have to be honest, I was very skeptical to eat any sort of sushi in Milan, let alone it being all…read moreyou can eat sushi in MILAN for 20 euros (for dinner) but this place far exceeded my expectations. I'm from NYC where there are plenty of AYCE sushi places and I have to say, this definitely tops the list for me. They are mindboggingly efficient with their dishes --almost to the point where it makes you question your sanity. Like... wait, but didn't I just order that 68 seconds ago and now it's magically in front of me? A tad sketch, but I have to say everything I had was superbly fresh. Maybe they precut/prepare certain plates, but it really did not affect the overall quality of the dish. I'm a bit of a brat when it comes to eating raw fish- I will send things back if the color is off or if there's even a slight chance it seems like I'd get sick. Prices for beer and wine are also extremely reasonable. Portions are on the smaller side for the appetizers and sashimi/carpaccio, but it's AYCE so does it really even matter? Moot point. There are some items that have a red circle next to them which indicates you are only allowed to order that item one per person. But not to worry.... There's about 100 items on the menu so you won't run out of options. My favorites- - Tuna and salmon tataki - I believe it's a ponzu sauce on top with fresh scallions and ginger- super refreshing and tasty - Tuna + salmon tartare - also another refreshing item on the menu - Spicy tuna roll - I've had hundreds of spicy tuna rolls before but this one was unique-- I'm not sure what spice they use to make it spicy but it's far different than what's usually used and it was fantastic! - Dragon roll -eel and crab with avocado - Amaebi nigiri - sweet shrimp nigiri ...dope digity, really really tasty. - Salmon Gunkan and Tuna gunkan-- I've never had this before but it's basically a regular roll without using seaweed as the "outside". They use the actual fish itself. Other items ordered- - Nigiri-- 2 pieces per order-- we had all of the nigiri items: salmon, tuna, sweet shrimp, cooked shrimp, sea bass, octopus, eel. All were fantastic except for the octopus which was a bit chewy. - Salmon and Tuna carpaccio - super fresh but was not wowed by the sauce - Gyoza - Miso soup Their menu also includes hand rolls, regular rolls, other special rolls, salad, tons of other apps (including hot dishes), udon noodles, fried rice, tempura, teppanyaki--- I mean the options are endless. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other items!

This place was by far the best Japanese place we had. It's now a buffet restaurant but very well worth the price. I ordered their shrimp tempura and that was on point! I also ordered some teriyaki chicken and that was, again, amazing! If only we tried this earlier on our trip then I would have came back for more but we tried this place on our very last day even if it was literally right behind our hotel.
