ENO SHAMKU

We are a group of ladies from an Asian country and travel to japan regularly. Sorry to say that this jap restaurant didn’t impress. We ordered 2 appetisers: - chicken gyoza was ok - tempura shrimp wasn’t done with the right kind of batter 4 rolls: dragon roll, salmon roll, Futo Maguro roll and soft shell crab roll. When served, we noticed that seaweed was already damp, not fresh and crisp. Also, out of 4, 3 types of roll perilla leaves in them. This is not common and it affected the flavour of the rolls. We have no idea how the high rating came about, but in our humble opinion, the dinner wasn’t worth the price of euros 124 for 3 pax. Plus, the light soy sauce was disappointing too. However, the service staff was kind and patient. Hope the quality can be improved.

Lovely lunch at Onakaya. The highlight for me was the service—the staff are clearly experienced and the Japanese greetings add a beautiful touch of authenticity. I’m rating this a 4 out of 5 because of the tempura; it felt a little heavy and retained too much oil, missing that airy, delicate crunch I was looking for. However, the rest of the Bento sushi set was fresh and high-quality. Definitely worth a visit for the service and sushi alone!

One of the best … Antoine was so kind , we came before the restaurant was open and we disturbed them at there break before opening and we asking if we need a reservation… and he immediately booked us for a table an hour after they opened … The service after we came was so good , the dishes came slowly to keep u enjoying your time at this amazing place.

Incredible food here. Would highly recommend checking this place out and having their sushi. Definitely suggest getting a reservation in advance as this place is popular and fills up fast. Would come back in a heartbeat on our next visit.

The food is excellent. It's the best sushis I have eaten in this region. The lunch proposals (bento boxes) are interesting and affordable. We wanted to try many things more and hence paid more but the price range is acceptable. The service is outstanding. We could not reserve a table inside and as we were with kids, the staff tried to arrange a table inside in 20 minutes. The food arrived very quickly. And we could easily reach the servers to ask for more:). We can feel that all the team members are happy and careful about their customers. The decoration is humble and nice. The restaurant is not noisy at all. Thanks to all the team for the warm welcoming, for the quality of the food and for the very nice moments we had in family.

Top quality sushi here. Absolutely order the grilled chicken skewers - the barbeque/grill flavour is insanely good and has such an izakazya feel. I would happily order 2-3 of that dish in retrospect. I also had the tuna futomaki and ikura which were exceptional. Futomaki comes with 8 pieces (I know it shows 6 on my photo, but I ate two already!). My husband doesn't eat raw fish, so he enjoyed the chicken skewers, he loved the prawn tempura (best we've had, no dipping sauce needed as seasoned perfectly!) and ordered chicken katsu - small point to note is that it doesn't come with a curry sauce but a sesame dip which also contains peanuts. As we were allergic this was swapped for a mayonnaise sauce (but my husband also dislikes mayonnaise!). He said the chicken katsu was battered brilliantly with delicious seasoning, but could have really done with a curry sauce. Also had the tasting flight of 3 chilled sakes with a good explanation by the staff about the origin and flavour profile of each, and which foods it would pair well with. I would be very happy to come here again, now we know which meat dishes to order for husband. Every night we walked past and it was always busy. Highly recommend if you are a sushi lover!

A truly exceptional gastronomic experience! The taco starter and the dragon roll were my favorites. The service was outstanding—they even accommodated us after we arrived a little bit late, also served us when the kitchen had closed. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Nice

I visited Onakaya specifically drawn by the culinary mastery of Chef Piotr Kuc. I had been a devoted fan of his sushi in Poland for years, following his journey until his triumphs at the 2024 Poland Sushi Cup and then the European Sushi Cup, which ultimately led him to Nice. And just as always, I was utterly delighted – not only by Piotr's exquisite food, but also by the impeccable service and the restaurant's beautifully designed space. The interior perfectly balances simplicity with elegance, showcasing a meticulous attention to detail and a strong, beautiful identity. It was also clear to see the owner, focused and hands-on, diligently working in another section of the restaurant, which speaks volumes about their dedication. While I eagerly await Piotr's return to Poland (and will gladly follow his talent wherever it takes him!), I wholeheartedly recommend Onakaya as a wonderfully delicious and must-visit culinary gem during your time in Nice.
