Restaurant Japanese restaurant Japanese authentic restaurant

😠 I went to the shop for the first time before 7 PM. There are 4 seats on the terrace seats, and there is a clerk attendant and a clerk was outside but I did not notice it at all I entered because I was absorbed in the smartphone. I tried entering the store while another three guests were in the past... People often mention sushi, good, Japanese, staff, fresh, restaurant, tasty, service, friendly, small,

    (Translated by Google) I went to the shop for the first time before 7 PM. There are 4 seats on the terrace seats, and there is a clerk attendant and a clerk was outside but I did not notice it at all I entered because I was absorbed in the smartphone. I tried entering the store while another three guests were in the past. Five tables including terrace seats were available, but when I told that it was alone, the facial expressions suddenly changed and were refused. I guess there seemed to be no money so well that there was a reservation for a group of large number of groups. (Original) PM7時前に初めてお店に行ってみました。 テラス席も4席あり呼び込みとおぼしき店員が外にいましたがスマホに夢中で入店した私には全く気づきません。 別のお客さんが3組ほど先客としておられた中にお店に入ってみました。 テラス席を含め5テーブルも空いていたのですが一人だと伝えると、急に表情が変わり断られました。 よほどお金が無いように見えたのか大人数の団体対の予約があったのでしょう。

    For this price it's unfortunately only 2 stars. Lots of rice, less of fish and flavor neither tasty nor simple enough (but precise) to be in anyway japanese.

    Wow! This place has a very authentic feel. Food was great too! Price pointers very good too! If I am back in Sanur I would eat here again.

    This place is right on the corner, and has both indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is pretty extensive for a small Japanese restaurant in Bali. Service was pretty fast and the food was tasty. Portion sizes were proportionate to the price, so everything was fair.

    Staff was friendly and responsive, and the atmosphere was nice. Unfortunately, my order (the vegetarian sushi) came after almost all three of my family members finished their food (including a hot pot dish that was ordered a good 15 mins after the vegetarian sushi was ordered). I had followed up the order twice, and their reasoning for the delay was that they had to “fry the vegetables”. I found this to be a funny excuse as the vegetarian sushi consisted of only raw vegetables (see pictures)! The taste of the food was alright (but can’t comment on the non-vegetarian dishes) and the sushi was crumbly. Not really keen to come back again but I do hope they improve their food preparation time!

    Good food. Went there on Saturday night and the place was full but the food were very slow. Even when our foods served on the table we can't eat because the staff forgot to give us soup spoon. Also the aircond was frozen. Two big airconds in the small place. Anyway love the food..!

    3 Adults and 1 Child for dinner. The sushi was fresh and tasty. Unfortunately the sushi came out very slowly and one dish at a time. Thankfully we had nowhere else to be. They could definitely do with another wait person on the floor. It’s not cheap either but the quality was somewhere between good and excellent. And we eat sushi all the time. Anyway my honest opinion is it’s worth a try but they may need some improvement to keep their ratings up.

    (Translated by Google) The ingredients are fresh, the serving size is a bit small, exquisite, overall good, worth trying. (subjective impression, for reference only) Food raw material is very fresh, the weight is a little small, delicate, overall good, worth trying.

    good food with great quality.

  • 5/5 christophe r. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) the only downside would be the wait that can be a little long but everything is so excellent that it's worth it to wait I have not eaten as good sushi since my trip to Japan (Original) le seul bémol serait peut être l'attente qui peut être un peu longue mais tout est tellement excellent que ca vaut le coup d attendre je n'ai pas mangé d aussi bon sushi depuis mon voyage au japon

    I just finish eat salmon maki and calnifornia sushi, and the fish is not fresh so immediately my belly is not doing well, feeling sick, but i always eat here for sushi when i am in sanur, but maybe just today they don’t really serve fresh meat..

  • 5/5 Lars-Göran I. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice staff, quick service. I had a small sushi and my wife her favourite - udon noodle soup. We were both satisfied. My wife was even singing on the way home ;-)

  • 5/5 Winny S. 5 years ago on Google
    Very nice place, excellent sashimi and rolls, affordable prices! Will come back 👍🏻

  • 5/5 Scott M. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a delicious bowl of yummy Ramen Noodle soup here for lunch. So good. 65k iDR. Very authentic Ramen, tasty broth, nice Ramen noodles and some delicious chunks of slow cooked pork which was so good. They do not have their own WiFi but there is free WiFi you can connect to from the neighbouring restaurants. Sshhhh I will go back to try their sushi

    They have a promo of Bintang beer at only 20k which I enjoyed it most of the times,, very good friendly staff especially one girl

    Great Japanese food, really fresh and very tasty. The prices are very reasonable. Happy to recommend. 😊

  • 3/5 Chrissy C. 1 year ago on Google
    Bali overall isn’t the place to have sushi. Don’t expect variety of premium fish or quality like you would get in japan. Mediocre on international standard but you are also paying a lot less than you would elsewhere in the world. The nigiri rice is x2 the size for AYCE (one of us did AYCE and one of us got a set).

  • 5/5 Arky M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great welcome- even turned on personal pedestal fan, as I sat on front veranda eating wonderful soba noodles and excellent California roll. Watching the interesting street life on that famous Sanur intersection was an added bonus. Stayed for 3 hours before catching flight back to Sydney. Loved it as my last dining experience in Bali. Thanks 🌿🌺❤️🌸

  • 4/5 Pen J. 11 months ago on Google
    What a tasty little restaurant this turned out to be. The sushi was very fresh and the swordfish just melted in the mouth. Staff were friendly and the dishes arrived quickly. Can certainly recommend this place for their sushi 🍣🍣🍣

  • 2/5 Mr S. 1 year ago on Google
    Was ok, nothing amazing, we had a beer and some sushi. Great location. If your into Japanese food it's probably worth a visit. Ok so we came back the following evening and my daughter had the same dish, only this time the Avocado Sushi with Wasabi and Ginger didn't come with Wasabi or Ginger... When I requested the missing items the waitress was pretty miserable and never apologised. It was pretty poor service.

    Thank you so much for the delicious food, and the gifts from the restaurant for my boyfriend's birthday! Special thanks to the owner of the establishment😊🙏🏽❤️

  • 5/5 Michael D. 6 months ago on Google
    I would recommend coming to this Japanese restaurant when in Sanur. We are so happy we had dinner at this restaurant. The food was so good . And the cocktails were amazing. The service was great and staff were friendly. We will be coming back again

  • 1/5 潜宝一一DivingQ 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) 1. The picture looks delicious, but the taste is actually not worth this price, far more than that; 2. Don't order eel rice, the fish is not fresh, the ice is normal but the taste is too bad; 3. Talk to the service staff about paying the bill, only to find that you have forgotten it after 10 minutes; 4, ordered the small hot pot, but the fire burned out for half a minute, and the service staff spent 10 minutes really couldn't figure it out. Let's change seats. If there is no fire in the small hot pot, buy a few extra stoves. If there is no stove, you can not supply the small hot pot. 5. It's expensive, but at least it has to be worth the price, but the per capita RMB 100 is not fully eaten. I switched to another Japanese food, it was too delicious, and it cost only half the price. (Original) 1, 图片看起来很好吃,但是实际上味道根本不值得这个价位,远远不止的那种; 2, 鳗鱼饭千万不要点,鱼生也不新鲜,冰封正常但是索然无味也差太多; 3, 跟服务人员说埋单,10分钟后才发现根本忘记了; 4,点了小火锅,结果火烧了半分钟灭掉了,服务人员花了10分钟实在搞不定,让我们换位置坐。如果小火锅没有火那就买多几个备用的炉子,如果没有炉子可以不供应小火锅。 5, 贵可以,但是起码要对得起这个定价,但是人均100人民币还完全没有吃饱,换了另外一家日本料理,好吃太多了,花了只是一半的价格。

    Been here several times, friendly staff and good food. My son loves the Nabe Yaki Udon, While I like the sashimi.

  • 5/5 Lourien S. 5 years ago on Google
    This place is like a porthole to Japan. Full of character, the music, and the little "robot" vending machine sounds at the counter really reminded me of Japan. So cozy both inside and outside. The food is good - a lot of varieties, and they have Japanese alcoholic drinks too. The local drinks are pretty reasonably priced. Be careful you might get too comfortable and keep ordering, thus surprised when the bill comes out :D

  • 5/5 G L. 4 years ago on Google
    Food were served piping hot and taste authentic. Salmon sashimi is fresh. Friendly and helpful service staff with great music and vibe. So happy to dine here and will definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 Marko L. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best sushis in planet! I ate all you can eat sushi. Everything is freshly made in order. Sushi is fresh and tasty. Rice was very well made. Whole family enjoyed sushi and other Japanese favourites. The staff was so friendly and smiley.

  • 4/5 Alex J. 4 years ago on Google
    Quick service. Knowledgeable staff. Keen to help and not like some places. Great menu. Very tasty. Servings are normal sized. Not overly large which is good if you want a fine dining experience rather than walking out stuffed. They also have all you can eat for that.

  • 3/5 Cameron M. 4 years ago on Google
    Way too much rice in the sushi. And it didn't taste like sushi rice. Otherwise it was good. The menu is big and full of variety. We were able to try some unique items and liked their flavor.

  • 5/5 Nasty D. 4 years ago on Google
    Stayed in Bali for 9 nights and we ate here every day. My partner and I love Japanese food and Akari did not disappoint. Food was well prepared and very tasty. The staff were always smiling and attentive. I tried multiple dishes on the menu and I can tell you won't be disappointed. If you want Japanese food in sanur then this is a definite go to. Loved it

  • 3/5 Andrew M. 4 years ago on Google
    I went here yesterday. Pretty average food. I asked for some oshinko but was told they couldn’t do that - even though they do oshinko maki 🤷‍♂️ Was obviously too difficult to put them on a plate and add a special item to the bill. The sushi wasn’t anything special. Rice was too wet/mushy and the portion of fish was very thin. Takoyaki was ok but the texture was too thick. There’s much better Japanese places in Sanur.

    (Translated by Google) Not bad considering Sanur in Bali (Original) 발리에서 사누르임을 감안하면 나쁘지않음

  • 1/5 Hung Meng T. 4 years ago on Google
    reviewed akari on tripadvisor in oct 2018 & the “owner” responded only in jan 2020. just because i mentioned another restaurant in the review, he assumed that i may be the owner of that restaurant and was trying to damage their reputation.

    (Translated by Google) If I have to make a top 50 of all the sushi restaurants where I have eaten, it is at the bottom. We had chosen the all you can eat option. Before we got the first sushi we were 20 minutes away. And the first 3 bowls that we got were, I think, already in the fridge for half a day because they were completely dry, really not tasty .. We also sent these back. After that it was slightly better but still not good sushi. The rolls were poorly filled, much more rice than vegetables and fish. I will definitely not eat here again, the food was just not good. The price was also high for Balinese standards, then you can expect something right? A shame because the case looks good and the staff are friendly. (Original) Als ik een top 50 moet maken van alle sushi restaurants waar ik gegeten heb staat deze wel onderaan. Wij hadden de all you can eat optie gekozen. Eerdat wij de eerste sushi kregen waren wij 20 min verder. En de eerste 3 schaaltjes die wij kregen stonden denk ik al een halve dag in de koelkast want deze waren kurkdroog, echt niet lekker.. Deze hebben wij ook teruggestuurd. Daarna was het wel iets beter maar nog steeds géén goede sushi. De rollen waren slecht gevuld, veelmeer rijst dan groenten en vis. Ik zal hier zeker niet nog een keer eten, het eten was gewoon niet goed. De prijs was ook hoog voor Balinese begrippen, dan mag je wel wat verwachten toch? Jammer want de zaak ziet er goed uit en het personeel is vriendelijk.

    (Translated by Google) Japanese atmosphere, kimono serving Menu Type Okay The price is reasonable, but the taste is a bit unfortunate (Original) 일본식 분위기, 기모노입고 서빙 메뉴 종류 괜찬음 가격도 합리적인거 같은데 맛이 살짝 아쉬운정도

  • 4/5 Yeonsoo K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) There are many kinds of menus. The material is relatively fresh. The rice was not very tasty, so it was not like sushi. Sashimi and bento were fine. (Original) 메뉴의 종류가 많다. 비교적 재료가 신선하다. 밥이 별로 맛이 없어서인지 스시눈 별로였다. 사시미나 벤또는 괜찮았다

    (Translated by Google) They offer sushi as (all-you-can-eat) here. I ate plenty of sushi, they were very good, everything was fresh and very appetizing ... My wife ate ala carte, was great too .... The restaurant is very cozy and staff very nice ... Definitely recommended (Original) Die bieten hier Sushi als (all-you-can-eat) an. Ich habe reichlich Sushi gegessen, die waren sehr gut, alles frisch und sehr appetitlich... Meine Frau hat ala carte gegessen, war auch super.... Das Restaurant ist sehr gemütlich und Personal sehr nett... Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen

  • 5/5 Anton M. 4 years ago on Google
    Possibly the best sushi in Bali, and I've tried a number of them after having lived here for a couple years now. Legit Japanese style restaurant with cute ambiance and outdoor seating, very friendly staff. Salmon sashimi was legit, as were the rolls I tried. If you're on the fence, just go for it..! It's one of the better options, and I have to commute 40 minutes from the West side just to eat here ;)

  • 4/5 Katie J. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Nikolina D. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved the sushi rolls (I think I had the tiger one) as well as the cooked tuna. My partner loved the chicken karage and I wasn't a fan of the vegetable tempura. Very fresh and tasty.

  • 4/5 Exploreaswego 3 years ago on Google
    After walking into this restaurant, you feel like you are transported to Japan! We recently went in January 2021 and wanted to share our lovely experience. When we arrived we were the only customers there and we decided to try a few things on the menu. Note that there are at least 8 other Japanese restaurants on the same street alone and we planned on trying all of them! The menu was really extensive and generally on the pricier side. We ordered the Ekonomi bento which includes Chicken Katsu, agaedashi tofu, rice, salad and miso soup for 55k which is a fantastic deal. We also tried the California roll and shrimp tempura roll. All was very nice. We would be interested in coming back to try other menu items as the pictures all look very nice! Great place for a nice date the is a little more quiet and private. itadakimasu!!!

If you make your own beef broth and put a handful of msg that’s how flavourful their broth is! I heard their ribs or so called balung will be sold out after 12pm so come quick for their rib...
