Japanese restaurants in Prague

  1. A

    Nagoya

    Nagoya, hidden away down an escalator in a passage next to Anděl’s Hotel, is one of the few truly authentic Japanese restaurants in Prague. It has crisp, minimalist décor, with paper screens, globe lampshades and bamboo plants; most of the seating is at ordinary tables, but there are also some low tables with tatami mats if you want to take off your shoes and get the genuine Japanese dining experience. The menu ticks all the usual boxes – sushi, sashimi, teriyaki, yakitori, tempura and miso soup – but also includes sakana, small savoury snacks a bit like Japanese tapas, which are great if you want to try a range of flavours.

    Miyabi

    Miyabi is a relaxed, café-style Japanese restaurant with minimalist décor and modern art on the walls – a refreshing change from more formal Japanese places. There’s a small sushi menu ( nigiri sushi is 60 Kč to 120Kč a piece) and main courses that include fish and vegetable tempura (pieces of fish or vegetables dipped in batter and deep-fried), sake no amiyaki (salmon marinated in saki then grilled) and karaage (pieces of chicken marinated with ginger and soy sauce then deep-fried).

    Hanil

    White walls, blond-wood lattice screens, paper lanterns and polished granite tables create a relaxed and informal setting where a mixed crowd of businesspeople, locals and expats enjoys authentic Japanese and Korean cuisine without the fuss and formality of more expensive restaurants. Tuck into a hot bowl of tasty bibimbap (rice topped with meat and pickled vegetables and spiced with hot pepper paste), or order a sashimi platter – the sushi here is probably the best value in town.

    Sakura

    Crown for crown, this is arguably the best sushi place in Prague. It occupies a smart 1930s functionalist building, and the open interior is a soothing blend of contemporary Japanese and Czech high modern. There’s even a small play area for children. The sushi is excellent, but the rolls really stand out. The ‘volcano’ roll features spicy tuna; the ‘crunch’ roll comes lightly fried, with gently cooked salmon tucked inside.

    Sushipoint

    There are more 'designed' sushi restaurants in Prague, and some cheaper. But although it's not particularly atmospherically located, this is conveniently central and has food of a generally high standard. If you're the last customers to leave, being escorted by the kimono-clad waiter through a series of halls and back stairwells is a cinematic end to your evening.
