During my 4 week stay in Rome, I actually dined here 3 times and tried to dine here about 6 times…read more This place is not your typical Resto since it is joint with a karate studio owned by the owner who practices that during the day and makes fabulous ramen at night. He will buzz you in. The BEST is the pork based soup kimchi ramen (donkut?). The soup is just like the one I had in Japan and the "best" places in NYC and Toronto. Maurizio the owner is super nice and his gorgeous wife is also there on weekends and is just a sweetheart. Most of all, delicious app, the best ramen and good desserts. No sake though, only Japanese beer. Overall, if you like ramen, CALL and make a reso. The neighborhood isn't the best so don't go without a reso and be rejected since the place is tiny!

**CASH ONLY** My New…read moreYork friends know very well that I am a huge fan of a proper bowl of Japanese Ramen, and barely a week has passed since my last bowl and I've already been feeling the withdrawal. I was curious as to what the local ramen would be like, so when I found this small restaurant run out of a dojo by a guy who had studied in Japan, I wanted to go! I went with a group of three people and we split an order of the classic gyoza and takoyaki to start. The gyoza was very interesting, almost like a seared ravioli, and not as traditional of a gyoza as I am used to. The takoyaki was very delicious, with the fresh seafood in the middle mingling very well with the freshly prepared batter and the toppings. I got a bowl of miso butter, and my friends tried the tan-tan men and curry ramen. I'd probably say that the broths across the board were relatively saltier than I'd like. The noodles the first time around were a tad overcooked, but the kae-dama was cooked al dente. It's funny, because I'd almost forgotten how non Sun Noodle ramen noodles tasted! I chatted with the chefs about my ramen adventures in the US, as well as my own attempts at cooking some tonkotsu, and it was overall a great experience. If you have a craving for some ramen and you're in Rome, this is the place to go.

Look, I didn't come all the way to Rome expecting to have one of the best sushi meals I've had in…read moreyears--but Sushisen absolutely delivered. We grabbed seats at the rotating bar (kaiten style), and let me just say that if you're someone who loves watching food go by like it's an edible runway show, this is your jam. Plate after plate of beautifully crafted nigiri, maki, and fresh bites just glide past you, and you can take whatever catches your eye. It's a low-pressure, high-satisfaction way to eat. Nothing felt mass-produced--everything tasted carefully made, with that clean, precise flavor you hope for in sushi. Our favorites were the salmon belly nigiri, which was buttery and rich without being overwhelming. The shrimp tempura roll had the perfect crunch-to-soft-rice ratio. And the spicy tuna had just enough kick to keep it interesting without trying too hard. Even the wasabi felt dialed in--not a sinus assault, just a smart accent. And whoever's in charge of plating back there clearly respects the artform. These plates aren't just tasty--they're a little bit elegant. The interior manages to feel sleek and modern while still being cozy. And since we were seated at the counter we got to watch the chefs at work which was a true highlight. Quiet craftsmanship, no fuss, just focus and intention. Staff were kind and helpful, and while I didn't sample the sake or wine (for religious reasons), the servers never made it weird. Just warm, professional hospitality all around. Pro tip: Sit at the bar, go with an open mind, and trust your eyes. If it looks good, it is good. And maybe skip breakfast--you'll want room for more plates than you think.

After 3 days of excellent pasta and pizza, we are so glad to dine at an excellent restaurant in…read moreRome! First - this place is popular and busy! So reservation is highly recommended; especially if you want outside seating. We weren't able to make a reservation online but I called in the morning of - and was able to secure a reservation. Score! Between the 4 of us, we ordered a variety of dishes. In particular, their noodles are excellent and better than what I had expected. Excellent ramen and soba noodles!!! Wow... it's true that "any" pasta tastes better in Rome. lol Their sushi is also excellent... we polished off every last piece that we ordered. Excellent and friendly service, and seating is comfy and very clean. Outside seating is alway preferred especially during the warmer weather; but their inside seating is very comfy and nice too. Excellent dining experience.

First time visiting Rome and my family and I love asian food, being from Hawaii. We were…read morerecommended this restaurant by our family friend who visited prior and said the food was really good. We came for lunch and dinner because there are limited asian cuisine options. The restaurant was empty both times, but staff were very rude. While talking to them, you can tell how impatient they were by the amount of times they rolled their eyes - even just for asking for water. Being the only asian group present amongst other parties, they seemed to be only rude to us. Felt highly discriminated and disappointed in the customer service. Food was good but not worth putting up with the attitude and disrespectful service. Will not be coming back again.
