St. Petersburg | Restaurants and cafes | Japanese

Not your regular Japanese, Anis Cafe is nothing short of glamorous. It’s very fashionable, with glittery waterfall-like beaded curtains, and two levels of sophistication. High backed soft sofa seats run down one side, where you can recline and peruse the scene of lovely young Russian cou [...]

This is a chain of superior Japanese restaurants in five locations around the city, with the same high service standard across the board. All their restaurants are more than comfortable, with traditional sushi rolls, soups and teas. They also do a wonderful range of baked rolls, we recommend the cr [...]

There are 180 dishes to choose from at this restaurant, which has a wide assortment of sushi, sashimi and yakitori and above-average service. The interior is trendy, and there are fashion shows on the many televisions. We recommend the fried noodles with pork and squid. If you want to try your hand at sushi-rolling at home, they have a separate make-your-own menu where you can pick up everything what you need (including, for those who need it, advice).

The look of this place is promising, something like a furniture warehouse or showroom. They offer a wide range of Russian and European dishes, with a sushi bar as well.  Though we wonder whether by trying to cater to too many different customers, they end up not impressing anyone. [...]

Matsuri, which means festival in Japanese, is more a Japanese restaurant than a sushi joint. Upscale and spacious with a soothing white and pine interior,  their menu is presented on index cards in a wooden box. They have a substantial menu of seafood, meat a [...]

For a quick bite to eat or a more elaborate meal, this restaurant just off Nevsky prospekt is a great little escape. A small and humble restaurant serving a wide range of Japanese cuisine; whether a sushi lover or not, you will find something to satisfy your hunger. Decent prices, especially for the business lunch. Make sure to try the filling tomato soup and the smoked eel rolls. Hint: skip the uncomfortable benches and grab a table instead.  [...]

Ris
Just when you start thinking that all sushi is the same and how can one restaurant be better, you go to Ris. Red chairs and black interior makes for a smart look, although there could have been a little elbow room between customers. The haste of the waitresses wasn't endearing but once we wrapped our tastebuds around the spicy eel sushi, we forgot all about such trivial things like service.

With a view of Nevsky, and a striking rotating belt where Japanese dishes pass by like sail boats, it is worth a visit. A good business lunch here includes Miso soup with tofu and seaweed, six pieces of sushi, teriaki chicken with rice and salad and a drink - all for 290Rbl! [...]

This is no average sushi restaurant! Japanese art adorns the walls and Fashion TV plays above the sushi bar. The decor is elegant, the atmosphere is sophisticated and relaxed. The menu hosts a huge choice of hot and cold Japanese cuisine - prices are reasonable considering the great quality of [...]
