Ikigai Japanese Food - Sofia

Let me start by saying the food is absolutely tasteless. The meat in the gyoza felt bland. The panko batat tasted like hospital food. The fish bites with mayonnaise were dry, flavourless and obviously frozen and not fresh at all. The only beer they sell is decarbonated, bland and wishy-washy. Nothing except for the print on the menu and the name of this place are Japanese. To have to rely on soy sauce and black pepper to make the udon have any flavour is a crime not only to Japanese cuisine but to Asian food overall. Service is also lackluster.

Friendly staff and tasty Japanese food found in a food court in the mall Plovdiv.

Food came as cold as you can imagine. I made the order at 13:55, came almost half and hour later. I love Japanese cuisine but this is the Bulgarian version of it, nothing authentic at all. Won’t go back.

Very calm atmosphere with pretty decorations. The staff was extremely polite and considerate, and the food was delicious!

The sushi is amazing, however I'm not a fan of the ramen and noodles. The spicy food is very spicy. The homemade lemonade is very good, I recommend the one with elderberry.
