Food was great! Each dish had its own character on which we all loved equally. The entire staff was alert to our needs. The owner was present and made sure we felt comfortable during our stay 💕

I've seen google reviews and tiktoks about Japonesa for a while but haven't dined until now because I assumed it was pricey, but I was shocked at the value for money. I love Japanese food but usually only have it for special occasions but Japonesa's sushi quality was far beyond what I was expecting for the price. Think Tsukiji quality but half the price! I had a bunch of their sushi which included 2 types of wagyu sushi, the most amazing salmon, real crab (not kani), uni, unagi, and some others I cant recall now but everything was so fresh and tasty. My girl friend ordered a Wagyu steak and it was huge compared to other steakhouses for like half the price. She said we're never going back to wolfgangs, mamou, etc. The cocktails were all stunners too. Definitely ask the bartender for recommendations if you're a first timer so they can properly guide you. I like citrus so they guided me to a lovely drink called XOXO. It's a gin based drink with passion fruit and guava i believe? and a lemon foam that tied it all together. You can taste the gin, the fruits, and the lemon foam all coming together so harmoniously that it's almost indscribable. Both of us agreed it was one of the best cocktails we ever had and that's not an exaggeration. This is now one of my top spots and I now know why they have over 1100 google reviews at 4.7/5.0 I'd rate it a 6/5 if I could. Thank you everyone at Japonesa! See you again soon. P.S. Please add sparkling rose to your menu. It goes so well with sushi!

I had a good dinner at Itallianis. Pastas were perfectly seasoned
