Amagaki — Restaurant in Geneva

As mentioned by other people the place is overcrowded and customers are sitting 20cm from each other (even on a Tuesday night), the smell of what is being cooked in the kitchen gets into the dining area, so much that I had to wash all my clothes right away once I got home because they smelled. The picture in attachment is supposed to be a cheescake, which retails 13 CHF. Food was nothing special, miso soup was tasteless. For this price there are better options. EDIT: what i mean by overcrowded is that you do not even have enough room to move your chair to sit and to get out of the restaurant a person was literally eating sitting in front of the door. Given the number of people stuffed in such a small area it also gets extremely noisy, very different than the ambiance that can be found in a Japanese bistro. Also, given the number of customers present it was difficult to speak to staff, let alone have a constructive conversation around the fact that I do not consider fair selling some crushed biscuit with cream and seasame on top as a cheescake for 13 CHF or that the tiramisù was extremely dry etc. While it is admirable that you strive to improve, the purpose of going to a restaurant is to have a good time and not to dissect your recipies or provide feedback on every detail to ensure you...

I've been there a couple of times now, and while it is still a very good adress in Geneva I do feel like the quality has generally gone down a little while the prices have gone up. Food is very good and authentic. I'm a huge fan of gyudon and am happy to have found somewhere I can get very good one. The menu has also expended to include more options, which is nice when you come with friends as you can share a lot of the appetizers. The tonkatsu was however a little dry last time I was there, and the miso soup goes from okay to great depending on the day. Service is generally good, friendly people but sometimes a bit disorganized, especially when the place is packed. The real letdown is honestly the tea. When getting tea in a restaurant I've come to expect getting a teapot (for which I would also gladly pay a higher price). Paying 4CHF to get a small cup of green tea that gets cold really fast because of the small container is not worth it. I'll stick the other drinks next time, and honestly hope you'll change the way you serve your tea cause this is not it.

All in all, good restaurant with good food, will keep...

Interesting Japanese experience. We were four people dining on the Thursday before Good Friday. On the upside, I’d like to mention that it’s a very original place. The starters to share were okay, our tartare was amazing, and the portions were generous.

The pork belly didn’t look very appealing, but according to our friend, it tasted great.

Service was not very professional—the bottle of wine was simply placed on the table without presentation, and our glasses weren’t very clean (likely a dishwasher issue). It was extremely noisy (the restaurant was full) and very narrow. One table was even placed so close to the door that it couldn’t be fully opened!

Even though I usually enjoy discovering original spots, I would have appreciated this one more if it had felt cozier, rather than having a street market noise ambiance.

That said, the price-to-quality ratio was absolutely fine. It might be better to visit on a less...
