A must do restaurant for anyone who loves sushi or has yet to try Japanese food. The owner was fantastic he explained every course in detail to us in English and even gave us details on how to find a recepie when we asked. The atmosphere inside is lovely. Very small and intimate. We didn't book a table but he... More

I went with my wife and a friend. It was terrible. I will not go there again. The sushi had no taste at all and it was very expensive and very little sushi on the plates. The owner is arrogant. The tables, walls, floor are terrible, it is like you are in a doomed place. Don´t go there.

Great Japanese restaurant with excellent food. Food, setting and service is great - keep going back its that good. Will be visiting again very soon!

On seeing some of the glowing reviews, my husband and I decided on Shu Aka to celebrate a special occasion. Having been to Japan several times I can say that the food, while not pure Japanese, is really superb. That said, I would only advise that the restaurant is just ok, not somewhere where you can expect great service or... More

been quite a few times now to Shu Aka and it consistently impresses. its a lovely quirky little place, very small with stripped back decor. you need really to book as it can be full. its a set menu in the evening, normally 7 courses which gets tweaked every month so it always surprises. Miso soup, some sashimi and sushi... More

Best Japanese in Funchal. Had the degustation menu and its seven or eight courses, very well presented and delicious in taste. The unusual deco also makes a very good ambient. Don't miss it...

There are two floors of the evening and three for lunch: non-smocking, smocking and a roof terrace. I... More

Went for lunch there with my wife and were impressed. Seriously great food in a nice light ambience. The place was quite full but the service was good and the food amazing - We could have seriously overeaten! The only downside is that they are not open every day - check before going! We'll be going back!

Great food, no nobu or zuma but good sushi and way more than we were expecting for 25 eur a person. Above all outside the hunting grounds of the average 70 year old island visitor. One of the few places in madeira that could survive in ibiza.
