The chef's welcome is warm, and as he cooks in front of the guests, it promotes dialogue! Nice address in Marseille, I recommend.

Very friendly welcome, we have exchanged a lot with the manager, very interesting conversation with an enthusiast. Dish prepared in front of us. Everything was very good, very well presented. A very good time. Small personal touches with lightly warmed tatakis, a regal. All with a very good quality price ratio.

We write Japanese restaurants and turned to Itamae, hoping to find the flavors we had discovered in Japan, and so far not always well honored... The promise of a trained leader in Japan was thought to keep something. First disappointment to the reading of the map offering californias and other rolls to cheese... not hyper nippon, but we are in France, it's okay! Then comes our order, and new disappointment. One would believe a race to the economy: the sushi are of a ridiculously small size (some signs put too much rice 3 times, but there...! , it even lacks rice in the makis. And the little dessert madness, the cheesecake at 4.50€ seemed to have narrowed down so it was small... I measured so much I was surprised: just 5 cm in diameter, is it a joke?! I've never been so hungry after ordering more than 60€ in a Japanese restaurant. The flavor of sushi is not catastrophic, it is correct, but nothing transcendent. Anyway, we'll never see each other again!

I went there with a friend who stayed in Japan, she found the taste of the dishes there. We're at 100,000 sushi stations.

The chef is incredibly kind and his knowledge of real Japanese cuisine is impressive. The products are of excellent quality and the dishes are all more remarkable than the previous one. He brought the kitchen as I had tasted it in Tokyo, as it was. I strongly recommend this address to everyone.
