JAPANOS ATHENAEUM — Restaurant in Bucharest

When you're in crave for some good ramen this is the place to go to, at least this is my top choice for the moment. Personally, I'm not that good with the chopsticks, so I asked for usual cutlery this time when dancing the ramen's noodles dance. Really enjoyed interacting with the staff, they had a positive vibe, very careful and helpful with my requests.

Service was good. Good place to eat alone at, or in smaller...

The restaurant in this location only accepts walk-ins and we came on a Friday night and we were pleased to find space. The place is small but the service makes up for it, as our sushi arrived in 10 minutes maximum. We got the Party Super Maki set and although it was good, it didn’t have much variety. Two things that I believe would take the location to the next level is 1) providing separate plates where you can “rest” the sushi and 2) offering another option of soy sauce that is less salty. We paid 220 lei for the set, a big water and an Asahi beer. Overall it was a good experience and I would recommend it for a...
