    Their customer service is 10/10 I’m a matcha connoisseur, I purchase ceremonial grade matcha and make my own drinks at home. That said, I’ve also purchased matcha lattes from many different small coffee shops across the world. The matcha I got from here was really the worst matcha I have ever had in my life. Hands down. I don’t think I’ll be back.

    Place is very small. Good for college couples. Lots of variety. Though I think not worth the hype. Cake portions are good.

    Conclusion: come for breakfast and not Japanese food is OK. The second time here is far more disappointed. The fried chicken(last picture) i will call it over night chicken. Since It looks like and even taste like. Especially the chest part, too dry to chew. The Mocha is funny cause you could feel the Mocha powder, and if I do a blind test there is no way to recognize it is a Mocha drink, too sweet. I would like to give 2 stars but the first time Brunch earns 1 more star. The rest is the comments for the 1st time: The photos are the 15000 Brunch menu. It was quite ok. At least, all the food were fresh, I could still feel the warm and heat. Compared with the last brunch I took in Exotic beach, the quality here is far more better.

    Cozy little fusion sushi place. Tried the number 1 salmon combo, the samurai combo. Also the wakame, dumplings, the tiramisu and green matcha cheesecake. Lots of green. Great service. Cordon bleu chef. Check it out.

    This place is fantastic. It has authentic Japanese flavour. The matcha is legit, as are the food choices. I ordered the avocado salad — the portion was large and could have been a meal on its own. They use fresh veggies and authentic Japanese vinaigrette. I also ordered the miso soup (ok), the salmon sushi burrito (more below), a milk-free matcha bubble tea with honey (fantastic), and the matcha tiramisu (also fantastic - not too sweet nor bland, and you could taste the matcha with every bite). The burrito was satisfying - more veggies than protein FYI which I personally preferred. The sushi rice was also good - not the best I’ve had (probably has to do with the type of rice used), but it was still very good and held up well. I’m 100% coming back lol it’s a fab restaurant and would 100% recommend. PS: they do deliveries.

    Everything we ordered was very enjoyable (nothing blew my mind but I really liked everything I tried). The service was quite slow but mostly worth the wait. We had to ask for napkins and chopsticks (it would have been nice if it was set or brought before). The staff is nice enough and helpful. The atmosphere is fancy while still being cozy. Nice experience overall. Would recommend for a one on one or a small group outing (not too many seats available) PS: they have lovely and fairly affordable clothing items for sales right by the door

    It’s a tiny hole in a wall type of spot, if you don’t see it right away don’t shy away to look or to ask locals. It’s cute, tiny, the food is great. I ordered matcha vanilla latter, 12 piece sushi lunch option. Everything was amazingly delicious.

    Generally recommendable. Specially bubble tea and dessert are quite good. Sushi is not as good as I hope to be.

    I love matcha & this place is all about matcha! Matcha drinks, matcha cakes... Original Japanese matcha. A very good quality one. And now they have sushi, salmon teriyaki, miso soup, etc...! Made by real Japanese chef, Hitomi! She is the friendliest & funniest café-host in town! And the price is something we've been looking for in Dakar for a hang-out place with a friend: too good to be true considering the good quality of products & services they give!

    What a disappointment—this restaurant has really gone downhill. Back in 2021, it was my absolute favorite spot, but the service has taken a serious turn for the worse. The staff, who once made the experience feel welcoming and attentive, now seem uninterested and unprofessional. Long waits, lack of attention, and a general sense of disorganization have made dining here frustrating. On top of that, they’ve switched to cheaper ingredients—like the rice, soy sauce, and wasabi—which completely undermines the quality of what could be decent sushi. Unfortunately, even the food can't compensate for the poor service that now defines the experience.

    Matcha Café Dakar nous réserve toujours le début d'une journée abordable.
