Superlativ ,spectaculos….o experiență în bucătăria niponă….japonezii fac orice mai bine și din toate o artă .Pot spune /garanta ca o masă la Hikari se poate compara cu un tablou ….unde chef Alex Racatau conturează și imaginează ceva sublim și echipa lui pune în practică cu brio acel concept
Este concept ,și de altfel de neconceput să ratezi o asemenea ocazie !
Felicitări vouă !!!

Hikari is the best Japanese style restaurant I’ve ever ate at, the staff treats you really nicely, the atmosphere is amazing, and the food is some of the best I’ve ever had.
I have eaten at a lot of fancier Japanese restaurants, even a Michelin star one, but not even that one tops this. From the price to the taste, this restaurant is better in every possible way.
The atmosphere feels really authentically Japanese, from the food they serve to how the staff act or dress, this is truly one of the best and cheapest Japanese experience you can get here in Transylvania.
Mâncare foarte bună! Un pic cam scump dar merită!
Every time a great and delicious food.
The staff is friendly and helpful.
The ambiance is also very nice.
Highly recommend this place.
Hikari is not just a Japanese restaurant — it's a full experience. The moment we walked in, the warm and carefully crafted atmosphere told us something special was ahead, and it did not disappoint.
The food was exceptional, and that's no accident. You can taste the care and attention the chefs pour into every single dish. Authenticity is at the heart of everything here: flavors, techniques, and presentation that genuinely honor Japanese culinary tradition. This is no watered-down take on Asian cuisine — it's the real thing, cooked with passion and precision.
Our server took the experience to another level entirely. He walked us through each dish with genuine enthusiasm — the ingredients, the preparation, the story behind it — and his recommendations were outstanding. We ordered almost entirely based on his suggestions and not once were we let down. That kind of dedication, paired with the kitchen's visible commitment to quality, is what separates a good restaurant from a truly memorable one.
If you're looking for an evening where authentic food, a warm atmosphere, and exceptional hospitality come together seamlessly, Hikari is the clear choice.
We will absolutely be back.
O seară pe care nu o vei uita — Hikari, Cluj
Hikari nu e doar un restaurant japonez, e o experiență în sine. Din momentul în care am pășit înăuntru, atmosfera caldă și îngrijită ne-a spus că urmează ceva special — și nu ne-am înșelat.
Mâncarea a fost excepțională, iar asta nu e întâmplător — se simte în fiecare îmbucătură grija și atenția cu care bucătarii abordează fiecare preparat. Autenticitatea e la ea acasă aici: arome, tehnici și prezentare care respectă cu sfințenie tradiția japoneză. Nu e o interpretare superficială a bucătăriei asiatice, ci ceva cu adevărat autentic, gătit cu pasiune și precizie.
Chelnerul nostru a completat perfect experiența — ne-a povestit cu entuziasm despre fiecare fel de mâncare, despre ingrediente și modul de preparare, iar recomandările lui au fost extraordinar de gustoase. Am ales aproape exclusiv după sfaturile lui și nu am dat greș nicio clipă. Acel tip de dedicare, combinat cu grija vizibilă a echipei din bucătărie, face diferența dintre un restaurant obișnuit și unul memorabil.
Dacă vrei o ieșire în care mâncarea autentică, ambianța caldă și ospitalitatea desăvârșită se îmbină armonios, Hikari e alegerea clară. Ne întoarcem cu siguranță.

Great place with a cozy atmosphere. Tried sushi this time and it was definitely great and very tasty. The service was on point, and our waiter, Radu, took great care of our dining experience.
