Tokusen Sashimi Set (Special Sashimi Set), surprisingly it came with Toro, the fish... more

Important to sit at the bar here as the restaurant lacks atmosphere and comfort. Service efficient but not warm. Food delicious. Hard on the pocket. more

Shunka is one of the best japanese resturants in Europe. I could not disagree more with the previous negative review. The sushi/sashimi is very very fresh. Toro (fatty tuna) and salmon are melt in the mouth good. Sweet water shrimp are also amazing. The oysters are trypically very fresh and tasty. They have a number of simple yet innovative dishes... more

We visited Shunka on 10 May due to the great resorts on Trip Advisor and Ihave to say we were hugely disappointed. This is a spit and sawdust restaurant with rude staff, a limited menu, average food and a serious lack of atmosphere. We definately won't be going back. more

They're very snotty and overrated. WIll turn single and colored people away by pretending to be 'booked.' They refused to seat me both times that I came in because I was alone. I made such a big deal about it that she FINALLY gave me a seat .... at the damn bar.... with an attitude. Is the place really going... more
