Très bon restaurant à Aix, belle carte, plats de grande qualité. Une adresse de référence. La salle est modeste et se remplit vite : mieux vaut réserver.

Ramen et sushis frais, quantités copieuses, service impeccable. Il faut réserver : la salle est petite. Un peu plus cher, et la différence de qualité est là.
