Service was exceptional Ahha(don’t know spelling), was in charge of our large event upstairs, was incredible without a doubt. Don’t let her go anywhere she read our minds and was calm and positive the entire time. The sommelier was helpful just the right amount without being too overwhelming. The food was excellent, beyond expectations and the timing of the meal (even with our large group) was excellent. Can’t thank you enough and don’t change a thing.
TYO sets the gold standard for Japanese cuisine in Tel Aviv. The precision in every dish is remarkable, with fish quality that is arguably the finest in the city.
For those seeking an elevated culinary experience where execution meets atmosphere, this is the premier choice.

Very disappointing New Year’s Eve experience.
I celebrated New Year’s Eve here with friends, and unfortunately the experience was extremely unpleasant. Before our food even arrived, the manager came to our table to tell us we had not reached the minimum spend. This already felt uncomfortable and unnecessary, especially at that stage of the evening.
After the food finally arrived, we realized that two dishes and several drinks we had ordered never came. Instead of addressing this issue or apologizing, the manager returned once again to comment on the minimum spend. There was also a clear misunderstanding about the minimum amount that was communicated to us over the phone, but rather than listening or trying to resolve it calmly, he argued with us, became angry, and insisted that we were wrong.
What made the situation even worse was that he demanded we order more items, even though we were still missing food and drinks we had already paid for. The lowest point was when he came to our table and asked, “Did you come here to fight?” — an absolutely shocking and inappropriate comment.
Instead of compensating us or fixing the missing orders, we were pressured to spend more money and were spoken to in a disrespectful and embarrassing manner. This is not how guests should be treated, especially on New Year’s Eve.
Very disappointing management and a ruined evening.

If you like high-end Japanese food then this place is for you.
Everything we ordered was delicious!
The waitress was very nice, patient and knowledgeable about the dishes and gave us great recommendations.
Will definitely return.
Update: we did return and I can definitely say that the quality was not the same. We ordered some of the amazing dishes we ordered the first time and they were quite disappointing.

One of my favorite restaurants in Tel Aviv, the place has such a fun vibe and is by far the BEST quality sushi restaurant in Israel!! The fish is always so fresh, all the starters & rolls are incredible, and the dessert is just divine! The staff/service is just as wonderful as the food (a rare find in Israel)
