Some real Japanese in Milano - another rare gem found!…read more I got the sushi set that comes with a good selection of nigiri, miso soup, pickled veggies, and caffe! They do it the right way with wasabi in between rice and fish! Great ginger and they used ponzu sauce instead of sou sauce. Their hot plates looked lovely too! I will definitely return to try more.

Beautiful restaurant. Good ramen miso for 11 €. It came loaded with toppings: half a boiled egg,…read morecorn kernels, bamboo shoots, thick cut pork belly, and some kind of ground meat. Kind of fatty but a great comfort food. Also included a lot of cabbage. Stopped by twice before but were turned away because we didnt have a reservation. Made a reservation this time.

Pretty expensive compared to sushi in the USA, but after craving non-Italian during our weeklong…read morevacation we were so happy to have found Tomoyoshi Endo. It felt very authentic and the staff was Japanese. We were told they opened at 7, and once we went back we saw there were already parties dining inside; wish they marked clear hours somewhere or even an open sign. Our free tuna tartare amuse was yummy, as was the starter miso soup. The udon soup was delicious. Light, chewy and came in a clay pot. The shrimp tempura was soggy almost immediately though. The mixed sushi (nigiri assortment) was very fresh. A letdown was the expensive tempura specialty roll, which ended up being swirled in so much rice with only romaine lettuce as the green--that stumped me. It was barely edible. However, our added on salmon nigiris were delicious, but we were shocked to see that each piece was 3.50 euros! That's usually the price for two nigiris. Beware that they sell them by PIECE, not by twos. You'll get fresh fish here, but just beware of the steeper prices. It's a nicer Japanese sit down in Milan, and is located in the business area of the city.

This place was really hard to find. It's located in a courtyard of a building that looks closed…read more The good: friendly and quick service. The price was comparable to most in the area. Room to improve: though fair prices, it was too high for the quality, which was mediocre. The nori wrap was fishy tasting, which overtook the fish. The rolls are very simple and could have had a little more to them. Overall, I would try another place before coming back.

After being mistreated by a rude waitress at Toyama upon entering the darn place, we decided to…read moreleave & give this Chino-Jap right across the street a chance. Lunch formula €12 only (drinks excluded). Mostly pros: best salmon tartare ever, huge portion; white fish tartare quite tasty; wakame (not goma wakame, not contemplated at lunchtime) with fish and Japanese vinegar is superb. Good harumaki, lots of filling. Avoid gunkans, they tend to fill them with too much rice. Will be back for dinner.

Yakimeshi (riso saltato) buonino, ma non all'altezza del Giappone. Tendon ok. Yakisoba non particolarmente buono, è meglio persino quello del conbini in Giappone. I vari rolls secondo me troppo pasticciati. Altre cose buone ma niente di che. È piaciuta molto la torta di zucca ad alcuni, io non l'ho assaggiata e non posso pronunciarmi.

This place doesnt deserve a review... The service was a disaster and its explained as follows: we…read morefirst order some cold appetizers followed by couple of main dishes mainly different tempura... Interestingly they brought everything at the same time... We kindly asked tompls bring the hot food later on and 5 minutes later the food was brought back again at which time we kindly asked once again to pls wait... At thispoint we cancelled the hot dishes and the owner as a revenge told us the kitchen was closed..... The food and ingredients were good but service rules.... After all, you can always prepare great food at home with exceelent ingredients so why pay if the service is a disaster ? Restaurants thrive when the tables turn around is short but towards the end of thnight when some tables were empty does it make sense to push your customers ? Can we have red stars as in negative stars please ?!

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.

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.
