    So fresh, so good, one of my favorite restaurant in Nice. The staff is very nice too. The food is amazing quality. Don’t change anything!

    Great Japanese home cuisine, with ingredients fresh from the market and carefully prepared at the moment, the menu offers a nice selection of tastes, including a few vegan dishes. Loved the mood and atmosphere, the staff is nice and service fast and prompt. The raw mango cake, even if not exactly Japanese, was simply amazing.

    Not a cheap lunch, but well worth it. The servers were friendly, and the kitchen staff even came out to play with our baby - they made us feel right at home! The menu was small (and I think it changes frequently), but each dish we ordered was incredible!

    One of the best meals we had in France. I know it is not French - but it is better because you get the the best of French and Japanese. We were able to use google translate to read the menu..it is izakaya style - sort of like tapas where you can try the dishes over a glass of wine. Annalise was very helpful with recommendations. We really enjoyed all the dishes where the ones that stood out were the eggplant, the mackerel sushi, and gyoza. Highly recommended and reservation is a must on weekend.

    Great spot to try some Japaneese snacks! The service is super nice and the atmosphere is great! We ordered few dishes and they were simply amazing! We got desserts as well and I have to admit the Macha Opera was amazing! I really recommend this place if you want to try something different!

    WOW what an amazing place. Where to start! The staff could not do enough for us, they made our visit from with their personnel recommendations to seeming too genuinely care how we felt. Food was to die for, amazing tapas dishes cooked freshly. The menu changes frequently we were told meaning each time you visit you will be able to experience somthing new. We will be back, next time we are in Nice.

    Always delicious and definitely worth a regular visit! (although it can be a bit pricey if you have a big hunger 😁) Japanese classics well prepared great ingredients and always a little creative twist.

  • 5/5 Rebecca B. 8 months ago on Google • 69 reviews
    Absolutely delicious Japanese tapas and wine! Staff were so friendly and helpful when we were choosing from the menu, especially when it came to the wine as my friend and I had never tried Saké before and I can tell you it was the perfect first experience to try it! Loved this place so much, would highly recommend.

    Sorry, but the portion sizes are just not there. A fist sized serving of okonomiyaki for €12 is ouch. The tuna onigiri is also just a bit sad honestly for the dallop on each. Umeshu fizzy was tasty enough, and the karaage was great. Not a bad portion either. The food is pretty tasty, but for the price point, the portions are just much too small.

  • 5/5 Jennie 8 months ago on Google • 24 reviews
    Professional, efficient and nice service. Food is excellent and place is busy, advisable to make reservations. Highly recommend the courgette and the yuzu parfait. Will definitely go back!

  • 5/5 Eric H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Not an expert of Japanese restaurants but here we come out of traditional sushi. We are more on cooked dishes. I find it very good and very tasty. Wine list short of nature. (Original) Pas un expert des restaurants japonais mais on sort ici des sushis traditionnels. On est plus sur des plats cuisinés. Je trouve cela très bon et très goûteux. Carte des vins courtes sur du nature.

  • 5/5 Angel C. 4 years ago on Google
    This was in a sweet little road with a very nice couple manning the restaurant. They served us quickly, making the pizza before our very eyes. It's very small, but we had already booked, It might be better to book. Great smell in the air on the street coming from this amazing restaurant. The pizza is really delicious!! So good!! We had panacotta and chocolate mousse,too.

  • 5/5 E-Shawn G. 1 year ago on Google
    Super cozy. Small menu of Japanese style tapas. Dishes well executed. Organic wines! The ladies r super kind and friendly. Enjoyed the night even with an infant in tow.

  • 2/5 valentina v. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Cozy place but a little too 'spicy' as the kitchen is in the middle of the room. It then comes out with clothes impregnated with a frying smell. Small tapas-like portions, with great prices from normal dishes. I will not return. (Original) Posto accogliente ma un po troppo 'speziato' visto che la cucina è nel mezzo della sala. Si esce quindi coi vestiti impregnati di odore di frittura. Porzioni piccole tipo tapas, con prezzi grandi da piatti normali. Non ci ritorneró.

    We really enjoyed our dinner at Maido. The atmosphere is great and cozy, service is very friendly and good, the food is amazing. Every bite is full of flavor and freshness. We loved the sashimi, karaage and actually everything that we ordered. We will be back again.

  • 5/5 Laila C. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic, genuine, great quality Japanese food. All the servers were so polite and kind. They gave great recommendations. The menu is seasonal so everything is fresh. The plating makes you eat with your eyes! There’s also plenty of room in the bathroom to change your baby, which is rare anywhere in Europe. They have a large selection of Japanese alcohol. I would go here time and time again!

  • 5/5 Tianxiao F. 2 years ago on Google
    Very cosy restaurant with authentic and tasty Japanese food! The restaurant offers Japanese Tapas only so it's not designed for those people who are looking for sushi or ramen. Service is also very good. The waitresses are nice and friendly. Very good experience and highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Agnieszka T. 1 year ago on Google
    Small restaurant with an authentic feel and delicious Japanese-inspired small dishes. Intimate atmosphere but without fuss, very friendly staff. Good for dinner or drinks.

  • 5/5 Sherry Sophie C. 1 year ago on Google
    Really authentic and very nice staff. Felt like we're in Japan, and the food was just great, very high quality and delicious. A bit pricey but worth it.

  • 5/5 Leslie R. 1 year ago on Google
    This was the best food we had while we were in Nice and I would absolutely love to go back! This is a quaint family run restaurant and you can just feel the love they pour into their food! Everything on the menu was amazing and authentic, from the chicken katsu to the homemade gyoza, down to the yuzu cheesecake souffle. This is a can't miss restaurant!!

  • 2/5 Nina Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly overpriced, the size of portions is ridiculously small… wouldn’t call it a restaurant, more like a cafe. Food is tasty but over-salted. Service is very bad, waiters avoid your attention by all means…

  • 5/5 Joakim L. 1 year ago on Google
    We dropped in and they managed to squeeze us in even though it was packed on a Saturday evening. Amazing food, friendly and experienced staff that guided us in what dishes to pick. Highly recommend the fish balls with tartar sauce.

  • 5/5 Ulla Bech B. 1 year ago on Google
    Very pleased with this visit! Authentic Japanese restaurant with extremely good food! Polite and friendly staff who made sure we were attended to even when the restaurant was quite busy. Overall a very pleasant experience, and definitely would recommend it to anyone visiting Nice.

  • 5/5 Tore peder skot p. 1 year ago on Google
    The atmosphere here was really great, and the staff were really nice. The place wasn't that crowded, which made it a very comfortable place to sit down and eat. The food and drinks was also really great, and it was all very affordable! Would definitely recommend going here if you like Japanese.

  • 5/5 Tomaso M. 4 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Bonbon 3 years ago on Google
    The staff will do everything in their power to get you out of the restaurant quickly.I hurriedly ate and hurried away. A 30-minute stay as if going to McDonald's.

  • 5/5 Zélie P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Excellent, a treat! Japanese cuisine as we rarely taste, far from the cliché of the sushi restaurant. We choose several dishes in the form of tapas that we can share, which allows you to discover many different flavors. The staff are friendly. A repeat without hesitation ! (Original) Excellent, un régal ! De la cuisine japonaise comme on en goûte rarement, loin du cliché du resto de sushis.

    (Translated by Google) A must in Nice for lovers of simple and good Japanese cuisine. The products are fresh and of high quality. Excellent value for money during the week for lunch with a formula of 12 euros. Remember to book. The restaurant is small and has many regulars and regular customers like us. (Original) Un incontournable à Nice pour les amoureux d'une cuisine japonaise simple et bonne. Les produits sont frais et de qualité.

  • 5/5 Lara B. 3 years ago on Google
    An absolute 10 on 10!! One of the best Japanese restaurants in Europe but also easily competes with the best in Japan!! The owner is also a fine natural wine connoisseur. Their wine list is top-notch! Could not recommend this place more. You won’t want to leave! They make the best gyozas I’ve ever had, so make sure to try them!

    It was great Japanese style IZAKAYA. All foods are amazing but Gyoza was absolutely awesome!!!!!

  • 3/5 Jumin L. 4 years ago on Google
    Lunch is very nice with faire price, dinner is up the price, kimchi 5€ small and saltier than average, 25€ price average per person. May not be a place for people expecting to full the stomach, but ok for people looking for place to have a night with friends and wanna taste a little bit of fusion.

  • 5/5 Adam P. 4 years ago on Google
    Then we went on with a couple of "Legumes de ma Maman" which came in the form of two small salads, one savory of seaweed and the other one sweet combination of radishes. The menu changes everyday depending on what the chef, Kanako, finds in the market. We went for a sashimi of daurade combined with sweet slices of mandarines that amplified the taste of the raw fish.

  • 5/5 Nick V. 5 years ago on Google
    One my favourite restaurants in Nice. Food is an amazing fusion between Japanese and Mediterranean. Staff are friendly and prices reasonable. In the summer you can eat in the courtyard in the back. One of the best off the radar spots in Nice!

  • 5/5 Keira C. 5 years ago on Google
    Extremely popular. Last lunch seating is at 2pm. I ordered karaage set and fish set. Both were delicious by Japanese standards. Rice was served warm. However my favourite was the appetizers. The shop served me 1. couscous and seaweed, 2. Shredded veggies 3. Marinated pumpkin/sweet potato. All were outstanding. Prices were great. 3 appetizers, 1 rice, 1 main meat for 12 EUR.
