A rarity in a little eastern Slovakian city: an authentic Japanese eatery with a short but very well executed and focused menu, reminding one more of a Tokyo sushi bar than an usual “Asian fusion” cuisine common in these parts of the world. Although we were the only customers (a table of three), it was obvious from the express time it took the chef to serve us our dishes that every movement in the kitchen is very well rehearsed, a sign we were being hosted by a master of his trade who also happen to be a very kind and attentive host. I am no expert in the Japanese cuisine, but compared to what I sampled in Košice so far, these were by far the best ramen noodles I ate (even compared to my home Berlin in a lower price-tagged restaurants). Pork belly in my ramen was melting in my mouth and was so soft it almost made me cry from joy. Absolutely amazing value for the price, top ingredients and a very informal and family atmosphere created by the hosting couple makes this an excellent informal culinary experience deserving attention from all lovers of of good eating.
Highly recommended,...

As if that wasn't enough, it also has a micro indoor plant nursery and a small offer of various Japanese goods, even Gundams.
If I had to keep only one restaurant in Košice, this...
