    Started recently to come here for lunch regularly. Food has always seemed mediocre to me (too much…read moresugar, too much salt, not the highest quality in the world for my taste), but it was basically okay, the staff were nice, the mood is good, and the location is very convenient. Today, though, I ordered an udon soup for lunch, which was simply too salty and sweet to even eat. I was very hungry, but still couldn't manage more than 2 or 3 bites. I have almost never returned food in a restaurant in my life! But this time I mentioned something to the waiter and asked if I could have something else instead. He said that I could if I paid for both the uneaten dish and the new one. I didn't want to pay twice so had nothing else and let him take the inedible (to me) soup away uneaten. So today, over a 9 Euro bowl of Udon, this restaurant has lost all our future business. We paid 30 Euros for my husband's sushi, my uneaten soup, and some water, and will never return. This is a type of customer service approach that I simply do not understand.

    Needing a quick lunch fix during some training in Erlangen, some colleagues and I decided on Hiro…read moreSakao just a brief walk down Allee am Rothelheimpark. The big standout on this place is that it has plenty of room, not like a majority of places I have gone to in Erlangen. I am sure this space is needed during the lunch time crowd. Hiro Sakao concentrates on Japanese and sushi dishes on their menu. In fact, their sushi menu is quite extensive. I decided on the Gyoza dumplings to start out with and the Ochi sushi roll for the main dish. I found both of them ok, nothing that I would rate as outstanding but definitely ok. It hit the spot for lunch. I found that after the order was taken, it was hard to get service to come back and attend to us. We had a particulary frustating time trying to secure our bill and get back on our way at the end. On top of that, if running your meal on a credit card, it seems a very slow process here as well, just to let you know (my colleague had a frustrating time with getting the transaction complete). Bottom line: An A-OK lunch spot, not outstanding but not bad either. There are a few speed bumps with service and getting transactions completed in timely manner but it serves the purpose for getting a lunchtime sushi fix.

    The food was excellent (gyoza and two types of ramen). We were seated very quickly but the manager…read morehad the assistant then ask if we had reservations. I didn't understand her initially but said no. I guess it would have been too much of a scene to ask us to leave, especially since everyone coming in after us had no reservations. Our order was taken promptly, the food again was high quality and delicious. When time for the check, the staff ignored us for an hour. I sent my children back to the hotel after 20 minutes as it had been a long couple of days of activity and travel. I waited an entire hour for the check after others who had come after me ate, paid and left. I could have left cash but wasn't sure if taxes were required and didn't want to pay too little. I drank 3 carafes of water while being ignored. As it got closer to closing and after I had to use the restroom, the manager/server finally made eye contact so I could request my check. If you are black or brown, DO NOT come here. Yoshoku is very close but was completely full when we went. That food looked just as delicious and I suspect won't come with a healthy serving of racism and disrespect.

    This place is absolutely fantastic, full stop. It's a little bit of a walk from the main city…read morecenter, but well, we'll worth the walk. I've travelled the world and had ramen in all corners, and this place ranks within the top 5 places I've tried. It is right next door to a pho place, and they're run together. We had the gyoza (in a sublime drizzled sauce), the beef spring rolls (drizzled in a lite fish sauce), and the Shoyu ramen, with pork base. Everything was amazing and we would come back here in a second if in Nuremberg again. Supremely delicious!

    This Japanese Place is very close to the pedestrian zone and therefore a nice spot to have dinner &…read moredrinks afterwards. Reservation/Seating: you should definitely make a reservation if you plan a visit here. Usually they are pretty booked, and I sometimes had to leave again because there was no table available. Waiters: The waiters are nice, but not extraordinarily friendly. We had to wait almost 15 minutes until they took our order for beverages and brought us the menu. The food again took another 30 minutes - although it was a week day. This is definitely a reason to lower my rating, because the place was not super crowded that day. Food: The food is delicious, as you can also see on the pictures. However, it is a little pricy - the makis I ordered were 15 € for 6 pieces. But were they extraordinary? Not really... There are other places in Erlangen or Nuremberg where I get similar quality but at a lower price (Hiro Sakao or Sushi Glas for example...). Overall it was an okay stay every time I went (about 4-5 times already) but I never got past that "okay"-feeling...

    Very nice food! I have been in many restaurants over the world, including Japanese and this one is…read morereally good. The flavours, softness and good bite of each dish is really nice. Also the service is really good. So what does one want more when travelling on a Thursday night.....!!!

    Ten out of Ten, and we'll do it again!…read more We went to CoDung for lunch with my wife and two friends, planning to try their brunch. We showed up a day early, but that worked out in our favor. We shifted to sushi and nigiri instead. Every roll and piece came out fresh, well-prepared, and consistent. No weak items across the board. We also ordered the Wagyu gyoza, which stood out. Good texture, rich flavor, and cooked right. I ordered the Pho Surf and Turf XXL. The portion was solid, the broth had depth, and the mix of proteins made it worth ordering again. I left full and satisfied, which says a lot given how often pho can miss on balance. Our server, Han, made a difference. He stayed engaged without hovering, kept things moving, and had a professional, easygoing approach. Service like that changes how you experience a place. We didn't get brunch, but we will be back for it.

Ordered tomago sushi- which my 4 year old ate up without hesitation . We also ordered a combo roll- asparagus, avocado and cucumber in one- they were so kind to make this at the request of my 7 year old- who also loved this roll. Everything was fresh, well made and tasty. Thank you for making our vegetarian experience so yummy!
