"The service was excellent but I’m giving 4 ⭐ stars because the of the sushi rice that was warm and to make sushi the (goHan) must be cold. The most was great."

"Ambiente molto fedele ai veri ristoranti giapponesi. Cibo buono e pesce freschissimo. Personale accogliente .. professionale e cortese. Carino anche lo spazio esterno e i tavoli coi separé x creare più intimità. Assolutamente da provare anche per i prezzi bassi e competitivi"

"Sushi, sashimi e altre pietanze orientali molto molto buone, niente a che vedere con i ‘All you can’. La location andrebbe un pochino ripresa perché è un po’ datata all’interno ma comunque molto tranquilla. In 3 prendendo una barca e un ponte, acqua, birra, due antipasti, abbiamo speso sui 70 euro. Consigliato!!"

"Uno dei migliori ristoranti di sushi in Livorno, ogni tanto ci vengo e mi sono sempre trovato benissimo. Il pesce è fresco e preparato alla perfezione, i piatti sono curati davvero bene. Ampia scelta nel menù, ci sono tantissime portate buonissime che meritano di essere assaggiate (sicuramente dovete prendere il sashimi... Fenomenale!). Il servizio è ottimo e il prezzo è giusto per la qualità alta delle materie prime. Tornerò sicuramente, ristorante consigliato!"
