This place is exactly what you'd expect - simple and decent. I walked to the restaurant and ordered 2 sets of maki rolls to go (spicy tune and cucumber), but the hostess said they were really small, was I sure it was enough, so I ordered 3 rolls instead. The rolls are fine - spicy tuna isn't that spicy, and... More

Just an average restaurant with fried noodle, maki rolls, etc. Don't expect fancy sushi or sashimi from any "Japanese restaurant" in Haifa. Very reasonable price and attracts youngsters. Always quite busy.

Friendly and cheerful waitstaff. Tasty food with rich selection of different dishes and plates. Best sushi in the town. Most of all - no restaurant gives you in Israel such a great deal for your money. Recommending with all my heart.

Japanika is the best sushi in Haifa. In comparison to other Japanese restaurants in Israel it is good but not great.

I really like their sushi, they're always tasty and fresh. The place is usually crowded, so you have to wait for sushi to be prepared. Prices are very reasonable. But if you're used to a great variety of sushi, you'll be disappointed. They have tuna, salmon, shrimps, and vegetables for feeling, that's all. I hope they'll expand the menu someday.

The average age was definitely increased when we entered the bustling Japanika recently. There are lots of cool early-20s Israelis there enjoying themselves. I'm sure they go there because the food is fresh, well presented and affordable. Also the service is friendly with plenty of smiles and great attitude. It's quite noisy and hectic but Jananika is a great evening.

The starters are good, the sushi is just okay. There's generally a wait, so be prepared to wait 5-10 minutes for a table. Prices are amazingly low for sushi!
