Kakinuma

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the restaurant Kakinuma in Eaux-Vives neighborhood in Geneva, Switzerland. We had an excellent dinner at this sushi restaurant! The meal started with seared eel (served on rice with a flavorful soy sauce and some boiled vegetables)—absolutely delicious. Then came a selection of sushi, both seared and raw, all generously portioned and expertly prepared with the freshest fish. The tempura selection, featuring shrimp and vegetables, was also fantastic—crispy and light. For dessert, we enjoyed a crème brûlée with chestnut and a lovely biscuit—a delightful surprise as desserts like this aren’t often found in Japanese restaurants. The service was friendly and efficient, and the interior, while simple, was cozy and ideal for conversations. Overall, a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

My favourite Japanese restaurant in Geneva. Authentic, delicious, the ingredients are fresh, the service is amazing, price matches the quality. There are several japanese places in Geneva but that's by far the best. That's the only place I come back on a monthly basis and never left unhappy. It's always always a great experience. :)

The food is excellent quality and the portions very adequate. The menus are great. Thanks to "Damien", Ryo and the rest of the team for the great mood and explanations. Just need to reserve a few days in advance.

The food was good, with high-quality fish and well-prepared dishes. Service was attentive and friendly, contributing positively to the overall experience. However, the prices are very high compared to what is offered. The atmosphere of the restaurant doesn’t quite match the premium pricing, making the overall experience feel somewhat unbalanced. While the meal was enjoyable, the value for money could be improved.

We took literally everything except for the tempura and everything was really good. Rice was light and non invasive at all vs the fish that was the king. Fast service also on a busy lunch. Well done!

Great authentic Japanese cuisine! Very pleasant staff and very good food. Prices are acceptable without being outrageous. It's quite busy, so book a table in advance! Only negative are the uncomfortable chairs, but with all the rest being excellent, it's absolutely worth it!

It is the best Japanese restaurant of Geneva. With outstanding service and the most delicious Japanese food. Mr and Mrs. Kakinuma remember their guests even by phone, which is rare in our days. Lately I always buy it for take away, however it has no impact on the quality of food. Both the quality and aesthetics are exceptional.

Hands down the best Japanese meal I've had in Geneva. The wait staff is top notch. When my friends and I selected a set menu that would be too much food for what we sought, the person taking our order was kind enough to suggest a smaller sized set menu. I so appreciated her honesty, and it's the #1 reason why I will return to this restaurant and highly recommend it to my friends and family.

Very good Japanese restaurant. Not cheap, but its good. Perfect service. Important, make a reservation before you come, i came twice but they allowed us only after the booking on the phone. Always busy. Very fresh ocean fish and etc. Will be back again but will book first, now i know

Very tasty and fresh sushi. Sukiyaki is a must! Better to book a place in advance. It was Monday when we visited but completely full.

Had a wonderful dinner experience here with the warm and attentive waiters and the great food. The sashimi and sushi was fresh. The sukiyaki was great for the cold weather outside.
