I have been to Kakinuma a couple times for lunch and I think it's pretty great. I lived in Japan and have pretty high standards for Japanese restaurants. I have tried several others in Geneva and have never been impressed. Kakinuma is a bit on the pricey side but the fish is very fresh and the service impeccable. I definitely... More

I visited this place after reading previous reviews - Yes, it is good but I would not call it outstanding. We had some seaweed salads and brochettes for starters, and then sashimis/sushis and chicken teriyaki. The fish is indeed very fresh and the sushis were soft and delicious...but comparable to few other places in Geneva (Takumi, Sauan). The chicken was... More

I picked this restaurant based on previous reviews and especially "best japanese in town" part. Nothing could be closer to the truth on my opinion. Food was very average, a few dishes not even fresh, some sashimis completely frozen. There are much better Japanese places for the same bucks in Geneva. I didn't have to book 2-3 days in advance...

I have been to Kakinuma numerous times ! This is a fine, traditional, high quality Japanese food. You must call few days in advance to get a table since this place is packed all year long. This is not cheap but this is a place not to miss. Congratulations to the owners

Kakinuma is certainly a fine restaurant for eating Japanese in Geneva. Very good tempura and sushi/sashimi, with nice atmosphere and good service. The menus are a good choice. Quite nice possibilities for Japanese beers. Strongly suggested for a business lunch/dinner and for a romantic escape. Booking suggested (but unfortunately no website available).

Kakinuma instantly became my favorite Geneva restaurant after visiting for the first time recently. It ticks all the boxes: great atmosphere, outstanding food and amazing service. The best Japanese food I've had the pleasure of trying. My only advice here would be to book well in advance. Even lunchtime bookings are normally full a day or two in advance.

There are two japaneese real and delicious restaurant in Geneva: the Nagmi and the Kakinuma. In term of quality both are delicious, nevertheless I consider the Kakinuma being superior for the menu choice, which is larger and the restaurant facilities. Compared to the Nagami the Kakinuma offers more space for the clients and a perfect service. If you like japaneese... More

One of the best Japanese restaurants in the city. Very good food and excellent service. For lunch, you had better reserve 48 hours in advance since it is a very demanded place.

I'm a Japanese girl and think this is real japanese food. I'm sure!! I recommend you all to visit this restaurant Kakinuta. They have not only traditional Japanese food such as Sushi and Sashimi but also things which cook modern way, in my opinion. For example, we don't cook foie gras normally but they cook it in japanese using Miso,... More
