I found this place while studying abroad in Rome at John Cabot University. I am an avid…read moresushi/sashimi lover from the NY tri-state area who couldn't go my entire 4 months here without sushi. Very nice traditional Japanese sushi restaurant in Rome. The all you can eat offer for 20 euro is definitely worth it. The sashimi was incredibly fresh and made quick to order. The various appetizers all were tasty and obviously endless. The only thing that keeps it from a 5-star rating was the lack of selection when it came to actual rolls. Although very well made and delicious, their roll selection was not very extensive or "wild" which I look for in sushi restaurants. A nice touch was the inclusion of a Chinese menu which was also included in the 20 euro price and all of them looked very fresh and delicious. I had the spicy shrimp and rice noodles selections which were both made very well. I will definitely be going back very soon!

So this was my first AYCE experience - thank goodness I was in the safe hands of the Unofficial…read moreYelp Sushi Club! I'm a big fan of Japanese food, having stuck to more traditional restaurants in the past to get my fill of sashimi, one of my favourite elements of Nippon cuisine. Imagine my delight upon understanding that I could order unlimited sashimi here (I was under the impression that certain, more expensive dishes, might be limited). The night started well with a copious selection of sushi and sashimi, ordered in conjunction with my five fellow diners. It's AYCE, so I focus on the fish, overlooking other delicacies that I usually enjoy, such as tempura and soba noodles. The seaweed is heavily vinegared without much other flavour. The tuna sashimi has no flavour at all, while the salmon is a little more tasty, probably due to its natural oil content. The experience is one of a feeding frenzy, without care for flavour or presentation: the sushi are fashioned expertly enough, but garlicky mayo and other California-style rolls are a bit of a turn-off. By the end of the evening, we've over-eaten and I have the sense of having binged for the sake of it, rather than enjoying what I usually consider an exquisite ethnic choice. Obviously, the restaurant's not to blame for the piggishness of the diners, but it's a formula I don't enjoy and which seems far from the central reason of why I go out for dinner.

Its on the same street as the Church of Santa Cecelia approximately 100 feet away. The plate costs $9 Euros per person. You get one full plate of all and any of your choices from the buffet counter. The restaurant offers a variety of authentic Italian items to choose from. You do not get to go back for seconds, so make sure you fill your plate. I think that the plate of food each of us had was a great value for the price we paid. Their drinks, coffee, and desserts are all reasonably priced. The ladies behind the counter are very nice and fun to speak to. TIP They do have a restroom so use it before you leave.

This is not like the American version of Chinese food, they have to improvise on a lot of things. That being said the food is still good and edible. The waiters did not speak English only Italian so this gives you an idea of how this part of town is not touristy at all. They still manage to communicate with us on what we want to order. A couple of times i been here with my friends and someone just pointed to what someone was eating to the table next to us and the waiter knew that's what we wanted haha good times. In terms of staff they all were friendly even tho we did not understand 90% of what they said. The restaurant was clean and they did not let those annoying street vendors in, you know the ones selling light up roses or some robot toy etc. There are a lot of restaurants in the touristy areas that WILL let those guys in but many do not and this is one of them. So if you want to eat your meal in peace this would be one of them. For sure try it and you will experience this American favorite in a whole new light.

The waiters at first weren't that welcoming but I think it was because they couldn't really speak English as they spoke Italian and mandarin. However once we spoke to them in mandarin they were more than willing to converse and help us out. If you do speak in English they do have some waiters that are able to communicate some words to try and help you out. Traveling through Europe there aren't that many places where we could find vegetables so coming to get what we were craving was great. I would recommend the pan fried dumplings, the beef and vegetables and some other Chinese hot plates. I had my doubts in the beginning and wasn't really planning to come here but I was pleasantly surprised and would definitely come again if I was ever in Rome and craving Chinese.
