Kisaki Ramen & Sushi

Kisaki Ramen & Sushi is one of those restaurants that immediately stands out for its elegance, precision, and the clear love of Japanese cuisine behind every dish. From the moment the plates arrive, you can see the attention to detail: clean presentation, vibrant ingredients, and a sense of refinement that is rare to find. The ramen is excellent — flavorful yet delicate, with a broth that feels light and balanced rather than heavy. The noodles are perfectly cooked, and the toppings are fresh, thoughtfully chosen, and beautifully arranged. It’s the kind of bowl you finish slowly, savoring every element. The sushi is equally impressive, prepared with care and a precise hand. The fish is fresh, tender, and elegantly cut, with rice that holds together without being compact or sticky. Each bite feels harmonious, clean, and true to Japanese tradition. The atmosphere of the restaurant matches the food: refined, calm, and slightly upscale, making it perfect for a relaxed but elegant meal. If there is one thing to note, it is that the prices are a bit high, but given the quality, craftsmanship, and experience offered, it still feels justified. Overall, Kisaki is excellence in both taste and refinement. A superb experience!

Very nice asian food place, we had the ramen and it was delicious, and some drinks as well which were very good too. The meat was delicious and made in point and the fish was fresh. Service was quick and nice. Seating inside is available but also outside with view on Piazza Capranica.

Atmosphere is on point. Very good staff. Polite and friendly. Speaks good English. Food is not bad. Good choices of Japanese beers 🍻 and wide range of Japanese food. Served nicely. Very convenient location.

We stopped in for a change of pace from all the Italian food we’d been having, and this Japanese restaurant was exactly what we needed. The spicy miso ramen was delicious. A special shout-out to our server, Allen, who was super nice and made the experience even better. He was attentive, friendly, and we had some really fun conversations throughout the meal.

Kisaki Ramen & Sushi never disappoints! The ramen is flavorful, the sushi is super fresh, and the service is always friendly and quick. The atmosphere is cozy and clean—perfect for a casual lunch or dinner. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the Rome

If you want authentic Japanese food, this is the place to go. The ramen and katsu were amazing. Would definately visit again if I travel back to Rome.

The sushi here is absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and especially the salmon, which is incredibly fresh and melts in your mouth. I also love the vegetables; they’re simple yet so tasty, with a wonderful variety that adds both color and depth to the meal. The flavors are rich, natural, and thoughtfully prepared. The vibe of the place is relaxing and comfortable,quiet, peaceful, and perfect for enjoying a good meal. It truly feels like a hidden gem in the city. I enjoy it so much and will definitely be coming back!

Both the ramen and katsudon were delicious. I’d recommend this place if you’re looking for a quick meal near the Pantheon. That said, there was an incident where another tourist’s dish got swapped between different tables during service. The staff said they would take the food back and swap it, but I’m not sure if it was actually corrected. I also heard from another table that there was an issue with the bill, so I’d suggest double-checking your receipt when paying. Overall, the food was tasty, so I’d still recommend it!

When in Rome, try some delicious Japanese food. Never thought I'd say that. The foodie in me was super excited about this unexpected find my family stumbled upon few days ago after eating pasta for 3 days straight in Italy. Wow! My miso chicken soup was just what I was craving. My family tried the sushi & Ramen with satisfaction reported by all. We intend on coming back here next time we're in Rome.

Service is amazing. The decor is very nice and calming. Started with the chicken soup spicy with noodles. Wow probably the best soup I have had. Must have and no pork. Went for the chicken gyozo that were also perfectly made. Crispy and fresh. The ended with the sushi and sashimi platter. Very fresh and flavorful. This place is absolutely worth a trip

Food was good, not great. Ambience was very pleasing. Service was bad, not the welcoming type, needs improvement.

Food was good, service was great and fast, spoke english well. It's located in a small piazza which was quiet yet a good place to people watch. We needed a break from the meats, pastas and croissants lol!

What a sweet surprise here in Rome. The food was fresh and delicious. A refreshing change to the normal pizza and pasta found along this strip. The staff was courteous and attentive. We have a winner here. Enjoy

Can't say enough good things. The fish is very fresh and they even offer gluten free soy sauce. Wasabi and ginger are tasty too. I kept it simple and got the nigiri tasting with toppings and the pairings were done really well. The passion fruit seeds on the shrimp was a pleasant surprise but my favorite were the tuna and salmon.

Asians cannot live on pasta alone. So when in Rome you don't have to do what the Romans do. After having some of the best pasta of our lives, we craved something else for our tastebuds. We were blown away by the quality of the food here. The soba noodles here is probably one of the best I have ever had. And I have been to Tokyo before. The dashi broth was outstanding. As soon as our lovely waitress placed it in front of me, the aroma was intoxicating. The sushi chef expertly prepared the Usuzukuri Moriawase. Each slice was heavenly. There was a bit of pepper taste which required us to not have to use any wasabi. To finish off our meal, we had the Matcha Doramisu. It's like a Tiramisu but Matcha flavor. So yummy. So if you want Japanese in Rome, I highly recommend this place!!!

Excellent ramen and rice dishes. Wish I had more room for sushi this time. If you need something a little different from local cuisine this is a great place for that.

When you have been travelling through Italy and you love the food, but you just wanna break this is a fabulous place to go. The service was amazing and the ambiance was absolutely adorable. I think what I heard is his family loves Kisaki and wanted to bring it back to Rome. We had a great sashimi sampler Chef's choice. We had a mango roll. We had some Japanese beer, edamame, and miso soup at the end of the meal, they brought us a surprise plum drink, that is used as a digestive which I thought was a nice touch. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Recommended, food was nice, staff are good as well. Its location is very central, our seating was good .

Delicious!! Super cute modern clean decor. Efficient service and authentic Japanese food. My steak was perfectly cooked and delicious, my son salmon was excellent, my husband sushi fresh and firm! Highly recommended!

If you're tired of pasta and want some sashimi, rolls, etc This place is decent and will give you your sushi fix. The ramen is okay, I've had so Much better ramen in other countries. I would give this place a C+ overall. Food ordered: Pork gyoza-3/5 Spicy ramen-3/5 Tuna roll- 3/5 Customer service- 2/5

Had a nice dinner while I was in Rome visiting. Definitely worth it the food was amazing and the service was great too. Servers spoke English. It's a very dark and moody type of setting but makes the perfect dinner ambiance.

All the food that we ordered were very delicious and the ambience was great. The place had a comfortable modern interior and the portions were perfect and satisfying. Our server was very nice and polite too. We're so glad we found this place on Yelp. This is an honest review from tourists from California.

The food was delicious and it was very fast and service was great and friendly staff and nice vibe for the restaurant but it was kinda pricey

Needed a break from rmbread and pastas so we decided to get sushi. So grateful this place showed up. Got the spicy miso ramen and the spritzers. Ramen was very good. Impressive!

ordered Katsudon, loved it. I was fancy for some rice, this was perfect. there was only 1 waiter working, so slower a bit.

I walked in and was instantly greeted then sat. The ambience is very quaint and enjoyable that makes you forget how hectic is it right outside . Ordered the edamame and the crunchy California tempura. Edamame could have used just a bit for salt for my personal preference, but a generous serving for one- two people. The sushi was delicious and the sauces served with it were flavorful. It was a bit more on the pricey end for full rolls which is the only reason I took off a star.

I visited Rome for 2 weeks with my boyfriend and we were really craving ramen after eating so much pasta We were pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. First off, the interior is very nice - sleek, black. The location is good! Its close to the pantheon. We did a lunch special and got ramen, water, edamame, and gyoza for only €19! The gyoza was soooo good. Portion size of the meal was perfect. We didn't eat sushi so I'm not sure how good it is but we enjoyed the ramen :)

The bathroom was quite decent atleast a 3. Until big ppl tried to get in throigh the door. That made it a one. I had to keep Alert. but overall good time.

Terrible overpriced sushi. Not fresh. Terrible service. They didn't even care. We paid 80 euro for a few sprigs of cucumber, carrot & tuna. Much better seafood and sushi in the the United States. We went here to avoid having to eat any more bland flavorless bread and pasta but it seems Rome just misses the mark for any flavorful food.

Pierre Luigi was the best! Amazing customer service. I got the udon. The noodles were a little bit thin... but it was still good. We ordered the Gyoza. The tempura was delicious. The outdoor seating was adorable. The sake was surprisingly good. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for pretty good Japanese food.

Went to dinner and ordered the edamame, original gyoza, chirashi, and Hokkaido Miso Ramen. My husband loved the ramen and tasted authentic. The chirashi sushi tasted fresh. One of the best Japanese sushi restaurant in Rome. We will come back again.

Honestly some of the best sushi i've had in Europe. The Salmon was clean and buttery and the hand rolls came were packed full of fish. The karaage was really good with the mayo and our service was quick and entertaining. David was super fun to talk to and made our night great. Definitely a place to come to in Rome.

OK admittedly Sushi in Rome may not be the best thing to try but have to be honest the service and attention was excellent but the food quality and Japanese traditional dishes as well as Sushi were quite a big miss...

Solid sushi and a great vibe. Perfect respite from the madness around Trevi. Excellent playlist

Complete disappointment. We were super excited from reading the reviews. When We showed up, we were told there was a 30 min wait. Told that the open tables were reserved. Understandable. Since they do not have a waiting area, we ordered espresso next door and waited. When we came back, we were told to wait an additional 15 minutes. Not happy, but we'll deal. We finally get seated and get comfortable. Take our coats off and browse the menu. 5 minutes in, the waitress comes back to our table and tells us we were mistakenly seated at the wrong table and are asked to get back up and wait an additional 10 mins. At this point, we left and don't plan on coming back. If we were told from the moment we got there that it'd be an hour wait, we would have understood and found a difference place to eat and come back the next day knowing that reservations were recommended. We are wrapping up our final day here, time is precious.

We ate here in July 2023 and the food was so delicious and the service was amazing. Would highly recommend for a nice dinner and a break from Italian pasta:)

Delicious and delicate fish. Very beautiful and perfect ambiance in the heart of Rome.

Wow! We had some amazing food in Italy and I would not have thought the local sushi joint would have been top food joint. The sushi, ramen, fried rice and dumplings were fantastic.

Expensive... Curry tasted like instant curry and Tonkatsu was a small breaded piece of pork without rice. nothing special and white rice as side is 5 euro. Ramen noodles certainly did not live up to the high price expectation. There is restaurant a little further in Rome that makes its own noodles... please look further before choosing this restaurant. Atmosphere is nice and waiter was lovely, but owner has no idea that this poor quality in food that is overpriced is not sustainable for business. Sorry to say.

We stopped in here by chance after getting caught out walking on a cold, rainy night. What luck! It was a warm, inviting interior and the service was excellent. The smooth jazz added to the overall experience. We got gyoza which appeared to have been prepared in-house. Delicious. We also got a simple salmon roll that tasted very fresh. The shoyu ramen and the spicy ramen were each amazing in their own way. It was comforting, hot, savory, filling...the adjectives abound. Great experience overall. It turned a tough night into a lovely one.

I loved the quiet music they played, the ambiance, the decor, the service, and the food! They have udon, soba, ramen, sushi, and sashimi, desserts and drinks! The sake sushi was so soft to bite into, a bit more rice than I like, so a larger rice to fish ratio, but it was still yummy & the presentation was great! The udon is different from the udon i usually get in the U.S.. The broth was super salty, so I would avoid this if you wanted something similar to udon in the U.S., and the udon noodles are skinny, and thin. It was good, just not what I prefer for udon. The servers spoke English so I was able to order with ease. I'd definitely visit again, maybe to try the ramen & definitely get more sushi. Also to grab a dessert because I was so full from my meal.

Decent sushi and ramen when you're tired of the local Roman options. Only had one type of saki, which was disappointing. Service was friendly and quick.

Amazing break from the pasta and pizza Italy is infested with. Delicious and fresh sushi and fish. We loved the spicy salmon roll and the ambiance was lovely. Check it out if you are in need of a break from carbs :)

We tried this place yesterday, I highly recommend it, service was very good, sushi was fantastic! We give a try to the dessert also! 5 stars!

This place has horrible customer service. We had reservations at 8:30 and the Italian waiter told us that there were no tables available and that we had to sit at the bar. There was a table for two clearly available in the corner - when we asked if that was taken, he said it was not available. As my friend and I debated whether or not to stay, a husband and wife and their daughter came in. The waiter immediately proceeded to take them to the table, not realizing there were three of them. When the guy told the waiter there were three, the waiter realized and told them to wait. It's annoying that we had reservations and were told that there was no table available, when they were clearly ready to give it to another couple.

We decided to check this place out after having no luck with getting some good Italian food for the day. Although having been visited Japan and an avid Ramen fan, trying a Japanese restaurant in Italy seemed like a foolish idea, but boy were we wrong. Once you enter the ambiance of the restaurant is charming enough to lure you in. The staff was very polite, conversational and helpful (did help that we spoke a little Japanese, so they were happy..haha). The service was pretty amazing and so was the good. We ended up ordering a Shoyu Ramen, Ten Don, a side of edamame Inari Sushi and a round of Asahi beer. The food was fantastic. After a long and tiring day, having some good Japanese food took be back from Italy to California for a few moment. Everything that we had was very well prepared from the sushi to the broth in the ramen. If you happen to be in Rome and are in mood for some Japanese food, definitely give this place a try. It's located fairly near the Travi fountains too. XD

It's seems strange to go to Japanese restaurant in Italy but I can't say enough good things about this place. Can't believe it was not on Yelp. come here if you want a different taste in Italy. Highly recommend.

Quality sushi and sashimi. I was pleased to see some ramen on the menu which my wife said was fantastic.

Service was ok. Food was underwhelming...they didn't have tuna. Hard to understand how a sushi restaurant doesn't have tuna. Ramen and sushi w were both mediocre. Prices for rolls were crazy. We were dying for any other type of food besides pasta so we came here looking at good reviews. We re Asian. We eat sushi all the time in the states, would not recommend.

Legit! Loved the ramen, gyoza, fried rice, tempura, and sushi. Service was great. Nice outdoor seating area with umbrellas if desired. Our entire family loved it so much we went back a second time during our short Rome trip.

After being in Rome for two weeks my Philly friends were craving Sushi and Ramen and this restaurant fit the bill. Very responsive on Yelp and was ready when we arrived. Fish was fresh and tasty. We will visit again.

Best Italian food in Rome! Joking... but honestly, it felt like we just had our BEST meal after 10 days of pasta, pizza and panini. Our host was so gracious and lovely, we felt really welcomed and we loved their quiet atmosphere. The ramen was great. I don't know what they do their pork here in Italy, but the roasted pork is too die for. Definitely ask for the maiale arresto (roasted pork) for your ramen. We also shared a crunchy California roll and it was HUGE, glad we went to this place really hungry. If you are ever in Rome, do yourself a favor and stop stop by for some sushi. You're welcome

Where do I begin? The food is delicious! The place is really nice! The staff is really nice and caring! A very nice restaurant I definitely recommend it.

After we had spent a week in Sorrento we needed a change in dinng experience. Since we were headed to Rome I checked Yelp for our options. I found an option for Japanese I figured why not, so I looked at several places . Most offered a Japanes Chinese menu but I thought that I would prefer a place that focused on japanes cuisine only. Kisaki was absolutely the right choice. From the moment we walked in the ambience of the place took over all of our senses. Soft music playing in the backround and the fitting decor sets the mood for an elegant dining adventure. With a very gracious greeting from the matrde (Pierre Luigi ) we were seated and with help from our very kind waitress was helped through the menu to place our order. We started with a very nice bottle of wine and the shrimp filled gyoza which were absolutely phenomenal . After the gyoza we had the Pork Ramen and the soba noodles which again were to die for. We weren't really sure what to order for the sushi so we asked the waitress to bring us what was in the picture on the menu, it was about 14 pieces all different and all succulent . My favorite piece was the raw shrimp sushi. It was probably the most beautiful piece of shrimp I have e or seen with a taste to match. We finished the meal with the green tea tiramisu and the green tea sponge cake both of which finished the meal that made us feel like the gates of heaven had finally opened up. This place is incredible. From the staff to the food it was 5 star for us. Note: if you just want to throw down some sushi this place is probably not for you, but if you want a stress free full dining experience you have got to try this place.

I loved everything here! Ramen was excellent and my husband like his Udon and tempura veggies. We also had one sushi roll and it was great as well. If you need a break from pasta, pizza, calzones...stop in you will not be disappointed.

Good place to go if you're craving Ramen or need something other than pasta or pizza! Went here on a Saturday night around 8 pm with no reservations, which is a popular time for dinner. The staff was friendly and helpful and seated us at the sushi bar right away, although the waitress gave us a time we had to leave by because of reservations. Kisaki is actually run and staffed by Japanese people so the food must be more authentic than other restaurants. The ramen was pretty good, but kind of light and the noodles were too chewy. They also charged for almost every single topping, even things that are usually included in the order like bamboo. Still, I had been craving ramen for almost 2 months and this place definitely scratched that itch. If I ever return, I will probably try their sushi and make a reservation

The ramen was very good. The staff was excellent and we very much enjoyed our time here.
