This spot is my go-to for sushi. Soooooo delicious! Everything’s super fresh and tasty, and the chef really knows his craft. The people working there are always kind, which makes it even nicer. It’s a busy spot, so I usually pre-order to skip the wait. If they just opened a little earlier, it would be absolutely perfect.

Some of the best sushi I've ever had the pleasure of eating outside of Japan. The ingredients are fresh, the fish is of excellent quality and the rice is superb. The only downsides may be the limited seating space, so eating in can be a bit tricky and the fact that it can get very busy. Other than that, I highly recommend the store

It’s absolutely amazing to have such quality sushi shop in Europe! The chef is really master of such cuisines from the materials level to final dish, like the sushi itself stated: it’s a kind of food only seasoned experience and skills and dedication made such quality. Wish Shodai a very successful and long prosperous one!

This restaurant serves the best sushi I have ever eaten in my life. Everything is prepared from fresh ingredients and in a timely manner. All flavours of sushi we had were absolutely delicious and we couldn’t get enough of it. An added bonus is the fact that you can watch your food being prepared, which is mesmerising. All of the staff are friendly and happy to work there, which makes for a lovely and cozy atmosphere to eat in. Recommend with all of my heart!

Finaaaaaalllyyyyyy!!! An awesome place to enjoy delicious and most of all authentic Sushi in Zadar. Highest quality and fair prices. Oh Boy how much we prayed for a place like this to pop-up in Zadar. If Sushi in Zadar, this is the place to go to fun fact... Japan imports Tuna from Zadar region. If you don't know, now you know baby!

I'm writing this review while ordering my second round — that should already tell you something! The sushi is fresh and prepared right in front of you. The staff is extremely kind and attentive, and the overall service is excellent. Honestly, this might be the best sushi in Croatia — possibly even beyond. Highly recommended!
