OMG OMG OMG literally the best sushi of my life...in Italy!…read more First saw this place upon entering Amalfi after walking through the pedestrian tunnel from Atrani. I thought Japanese fusion was definitely odd for the area, but we figured why not and gave it a try. Best decision ever. It's pretty reasonable in prices, especially for the fresh quality of the food. The place is very cute and low-lit - perfect for a date night. Starters: miso soup Entrees: 4 rolls of uramaki sushi (dragon roll, tuna with amalfi lemon zest, shrimp tempura/kiwi, and another with tuna/philly cream cheese/potato chip) Desserts: oreo cheesecake in a jar WOW. I was absolutely blown out of the water by this sushi. All of the fish was incredibly fresh and the toppings were so unique. Plus, the rolls were executed flawlessly. We both agreed, however, that the philly cream cheese/potato chip one was the best. The potato chip was HOMEMADE - like each roll had an individually golden fried chip on top. The combination of salty, crunchy and creamy was to-die-for. The miso soup was really good, as were those addicting cheesecakes in jars. After we left, we were so mad we didn't order 1 or 2 more rolls of sushi, they were that good. I will forever reminisce about this sushi and hold all other sushi to this standard.

My wife and I were looking for a change up from all the Italian food we'd been eating the last 5…read moredays so we took a gamble on Shabu. It's off the Main Street and was away from the crowds and noise of all the tourists. The staff were super nice and greeted us right away. We ordered 4 different rolls and all of them were fantastic. We're from Los Angeles so our standards are somewhat high on good sushi. This place gave us a nice break from the crowds and spaghetti while providing some really impressive sushi rolls. Definitely would recommend.

From the owner: Il PESCE Nonostante il pesce utilizzato al Kukai venga da…read moretutte le parti del mondo, i nostri chef hanno una predilezione per i pesci del mediterraneo per la consistenza delle carni e perché possono selezionarlo uno per uno. Il trasporto presso il laboratorio avviene rispettando la catena del freddo, controllando che in nessuna delle fasi di selezione, trasporto e preparazione, il pesce superi la temperatura di 3°C. Nel nostro laboratorio il pesce viene pulito e sfilettato ed immediatamente riposto negli abbattitori di temperatura per garantirvi un prodotto sempre sicuro e sterilizzato. IL RISO La parte più complessa nella preparazione del sushi è la cottura, il condimento ed il raffreddamento del riso. Al Kukai utilizziamo esclusivamente riso Koshinikari della migliore qualità, prodotto e selezionato in California. La nostra filosofia è quella di condire il riso in modo da renderlo profumato e gustoso per esaltare il sapore del pesce senza però coprirlo.

The service was impeccable as well and they gave us our check as soon as we requested it- which as some of you know more often than not isn't the case in restaurants As for the sushi though, there was honestly a lot left to be desired. I understand I'm not going to have the best sushi of my life while in Italy but even with lowered expectations, I still walked out feeling like I ate some mediocre sushi

Sake earns a solid three star rating. I tried this spot twice and while the service was excellent,…read morethey would not deviate and make any specialty rolls that were not on the menu. When I asked for my rolls to be made rice free, I was advised that 'we do not do that.' It just seemed odd to me that I could not get something made the way I wanted it when I am the one paying for it and eating it. I was able to have seaweed salad and sashimi with sake. Honestly, I had to stop into DOK after the meal as I was still hungry. As long as you strictly intend to stick with the items directly off their menu, you will likely enjoy it. I won't be back. I can make sashimi and seaweed at home!

Edamame, Spicy Salmon Roll, Dragon Roll and King Rolls was usually what we got. They did pick ups if you called in for an order which was really convenient if it got too busy.

I spent a weekend in Salerno and ate here twice, it was so good. I recommend doing the "all you can…read moreeat" for 20 euro off the conveyer belt. The conveyer belt has an array of sushi, sashimi, and nigiri that all tastes fresh and delicious. It also features fried rice, dumplings, shrimp/chicken skewers and even french fries. Add a bottle of white wine for 5 euro, and you really get a bang for your buck. I've raved about the food enough, however, their service is a different story. My friend and I, being two American girls in their 20s, speak almost no Italian. Their English was almost non-existent which made things confusing at times. The first night we ate here was on a Thursday, so we were sat right away and were the only two people in the whole restaurant. After such a good experience, we came back on Saturday night around 9 pm. Our Air BnB host suggested we try this place the first day we got to Salerno and he made it a point to say, you don't need to make reservations, so we didn't. Saturday night they had almost half the restaurant blocked off for reservations. Even if we wanted to make a reservation ahead of time, their website does not work and forget about calling over the phone unless you speak Italian. The women who works there is friendly and speaks some English, which is the only reason we ate there both times. The other servers were rude to us and tried to turn us away, speaking almost no English. Overall, great food and a great deal. Service, not so much. If you can suck it up for some good sushi, this is the place to go.
