Need my Asian fix while here in Avignon and boy am I glad to find this place. Super close from our hotel and very easy to find as it is located in the shopping area.
They don't have English menu but our servers English is good enough. Their food gets 5 stars from us. The shrimp tempura has 5pcs in an order but didn't come with any side of rice (hello? I live for that) tried ordering my rice I was given a no. I guess he didn't really understand me. The Sushi are fresh and my picky significant other was happy about it.
The Gyoza is a must try. They call it ravioli here by the way.
They don't have wasabi and instead they use this spicy oil.
If you're up for sushi - Naka is the place to be.

Upon seeing other reviews and in the mood for someplace with white rice after not having it for 8 days in France, we decided to visit this restaurant.
Upon entering, it is a nice place, kinda like a eurasian fusion feel. We had first dinner seating so it was kind of empty. I ordered a dinner plate with salmon nigiri, salmon & avocado maki, these yakiniku sticks with strips of been wrapped around cheese (French accent to a Japanese meal), egg plant appetizer (was REALLY good), miso soup, bowl of white rice, along with a bit of seaweed salad. It was really good! My wife had udon with tempura. The curious thing was that there was no dipping sauce for the tempura unlike where you would find almost everywhere else (maybe a French thing? I dunno)... and I've eaten Japanese foods in different 'States, Japan, Singapore ... My son had a sashimi dinner and he said that it was really good.
I managed to take a few photos, then the worker and manager came over to us to say that picture taking was not allowed. Oh well ... kinda deflated the experience a bit. So I can say I ate Japanese food in France at least once :)
Delicious, fresh food. My husband had a "menu" and my friends and I ordered a la carte. The Naka eggplant appetizer is to die for. We ended up ordering a second dish. We had the salmon sashimi to share and it was perfect. We ate outside as it was a beautiful summer night. I did peak at the inside through a side window and it looks lovely inside. If I lived in Avignon this would definitely be a staple for us.
