The place was a huge surprise, we stepped in with no prior information and it was surprisingly good, everything was perfect, and the staff was so nice. higley recommended
Great old fashioned, tried a small snack (burger ) and was good as well . Ambience feels very Japanese but subtly and nicely conveyed.
Nice and authentic atmosphere. Some of the stuff don’t even speak Greek. Edamame to die for.
You have to try the wagyu tataki or the wagyu nigiri ! Amazing taste! The chicken yakitoris are pretty good too. It is a bit pricey but given the quality of the ingredients it is worth it.
The tsukune (chicken meatball ) is fantastic!! Excellent food and great vibes.
WOW vezenes made again something fresh, new and nice. Well done. I believe it is a must
Still thinking about last night's momo yakitori . Great flavors, great place, great value for money . Definitely coming back!!
Great yakitori . Tried the kokoro (chicken heart ) for the first time and -surprise!- loved it!!!
Really good yakitori (chicken hearts and rib eye are amazing). Quite good choice of Japanese whiskey . Crowded but the wait for seating isn't too long.
For a michelin plate recommendation place, this japanese izakaya has all: attention to details, open kitchen , juicy wagyu beef , small but serious cocktail and small-batch whisky distilleries list. 5*
Quality&taste nice.staff friendly,service normal.deco&location ok.nice concept.Small portions/high prices-not value for money . Though nice tastes/worths trying once.Go for skewers matching your taste.
A great soundtrack and a serious cocktail list set the mood and the young team are full of energy. Japanese snacks and grill-based dishes have a modernised Western edge
Definitely worth trying the beef katsu sando , the tartare oshizushi and the beef ramen . And everything yakitori and kushiyaki.
The food is amazing! Authentic Japanese cuisine!
Variety of gins and whiskies
The Good: great place with superb service, nice music , tasty food and good cocktails . The bad: expensive and very very small portions. Trying burgers and cocktails next time.
For sure it’s a bar with good selection spirits , sake and wine . Very nice tataki . There is small portions it’s just for snack
Amazing Tataki !
Tataki from outer space!
Extraordinary food quality, nice ambience!
Go there for something different. Central and quirky. Menu is unnecessarily complicated. The food is tasty, slightly expensive but not unforgettable.
Beloved place, great service, magnificent food, totally recommended
On the sunny side: original izakaya idea, preparation to the point, friendly staff . On the not-so-sunny side: poor value for money . Wouldn't come again. If you wanna do Aris Vezenes , just do Vezené.
Great ingredients and tasty food. Nice atmosphere and good music choices. The space is a bit small though
Coctails and food
Extremely tasty menu! Something different from everything else in the town , small portions, overpriced. Should try ur for once
Great yakitori
Must try smash burger !! Excellent taste!!
Atmosphere, food
You can always trust a restaurant with copies of Lucky Peach on its shelves!
Foods you love, reimagined???? cosy, small, lovely place
Ωραία ramen , tataki , gyoza , iberico katsu
The real taste experience in Athens is located here.
Everything
Very impressed with the different taste
The only relation has this overpriced shop with Japanese grill is the same relation I have with Lionel Messi! None!
The birdman smash. Also everything else we tried.
Amazing street food elegant tasty food. Bad location though
Perfect ramen !
Best burger in town !
Versatile menu, very tasty food. It’s a yes.
Katsu Sando for the win!
Wow, one of the most overpriced restaurants , I’ve been to. For example, the ebi stick consisted of 2 small shrimps and it was very expensive for what it offered.
Decent sake
Really small bites, all of them expensive choices. Portions are intended solely to accompany your drink. I had the vegetables on the sticks, nothing special.
Food is ok, ambience poor, service erratic feel it’s riding on the success of their other restaurant
It will be definitely too hard for me to find such an awful place again. I redefined in my head the term expensive after this visit. Terrible experience.
Too expensive , we paid 150€ for 2 people and we were still hungry. They didn’t treat us anything ????
Much ado about nothing
Κάθε τετάρτη εδώ με διαφορετικό πιάτο. Αγαπημένο το soy chicken όχι ότι τα ράμεν ή το ταρταρ πάνε πίσω. Καθαρά, Χορταστικά κ φούλ γευστικά.
Real Japanese cuisine! Great sushi and ramen.Lamb chops are divine. Everything is fresh and handmade. The chef Nikos Politakos and the staff are very polite and helpful. Will definitely go again! - 'Effie Katsigianni'
Pricy yes but you get great cocktails, very good sushi in an unbeatable location! Nice for romantic dinners and not only! - Secret Critics
Splendid Italian like ice cream flavors.. Strawberry sorbet and cioccolato with prunes and rum to die for!! - Evaki???????????? V.
Great place! Pasties de nata is a must try! Definitely recommend! Also, great packaging. ???? - Dimitris P. ????
Try the spicy baba. Really nice sour and spicy. Perfect for ginger lovers - Eirini Marioli
