Shiro's chirashi is one of the tastiest and best I ever tried (and I spent a cumulative 18 weeks in Japan over the years).

We visited Poporoya while here from the United States. The Japanese food in California is…read moreexcellent so we might be a little spoiled. The establishment is very small and cramped. There are not many tables,however there are four tables outside. It is quite cold here in November at night so they have two heaters in their tent. There are also blankets available. You have to order from a table as you walk in and are served at a table when one becomes available. The fresh water eel is very good and comes with grapes, bean sprout salad a small portion of sukiaki pork with miso soup. This not a fancy restaurant by any means. Flimsy paper napkins and bamboo chop sticks for fast food. The taste and quality seemed better than average and the staff was polite and efficient.

Top notch ramen preparation with excellent broth and noodles. I would highly recommend the ramen here. Tempura was priced on the higher end, the batter wasn't as crisp and light as I would have liked for a perfect presentation. However the sauce that it came with was amazing ! It had this umami taste and it was one of the best tempura sauces that I have ever tasted. We love Kama and order it at every Japanese restaurant that we go to. It had a good flavor, I wish it had more of char to it but the collar was a good size and came with a piece of fish. The accompany sauce was good but I felt like we went back to the tempura sauce all the time. The Gyoza was well prepared. Kids loved it and it hit the spot for the asian taste that we were looking for.

Room to improve: though fair prices, it was too high for the quality, which was mediocre. The nori wrap was fishy tasting, which overtook the fish. The rolls are very simple and could have had a little more to them. Overall, I would try another place before coming back.

It felt very authentic and the staff was Japanese. We were told they opened at 7, and once we went back we saw there were already parties dining inside; wish they marked clear hours somewhere or even an open sign. Our free tuna tartare amuse was yummy, as was the starter miso soup. The udon soup was delicious. Light, chewy and came in a clay pot. The shrimp tempura was soggy almost immediately though. The mixed sushi (nigiri assortment) was very fresh. A letdown was the expensive tempura specialty roll, which ended up being swirled in so much rice with only romaine lettuce as the green--that stumped me. It was barely edible. However, our added on salmon nigiris were delicious, but we were shocked to see that each piece was 3.50 euros! That's usually the price for two nigiris. Beware that they sell them by PIECE, not by twos. You'll get fresh fish here, but just beware of the steeper prices. It's a nicer Japanese sit down in Milan, and is located in the business area of the city.
