I've been to Krakow several times and tried sushi in a number of places; similarly in Warsaw. Zen…read morereally sets a very high standard. The sushi chefs are exceptionally considerate in their preparations and I've yet to encounter fish here that wasn't fresh which is not at all the case on several other places I've tried in the area. At the end of the day I eat sushi more often than anything else and I travel extensively. Zen is easily on part or above most top end sushi place in terms of prep and clearly at the top of the list in Poland regarding ingredients... this isn't the fish market on Tokyo (where I ate last week) but for Europe it's great. Also be sure to check out their little Japanese runs upstairs. I didn't even realize they were there until yesterday. Wow... I just some people to do some private dining with... anyway enjoy this place. I will continue to.

After hearing many positive comments from fellow Yelpers, I decided to give Tao a try. For lunch I…read moreordered the tom yum Kai and the pad thai. The soup was excellent. The pad thai on the other hand was rather disappointing. The noodle was cooked in a wok that obviously lacks the necessary firepower. It failed to caramelize the sugar in the sauce, so the dish didn't acquire the characteristic taste. On the plus side the portion was large. Despite being unimpressed by the food, I had a positive experience at Tao overall. Firstly, that's because I got to drink a beer on a swing. Second, the beer showed up accompanied by a big bowl of wasabi peas--and I love wasabi peas. Third, there were bunnies in the garden. I'll definitely come back again another time and try something else on the menu. The ramen looks pretty good.

Inside I tend to sit (or rather kneel) at the low table in a nice little curtained-off "booth" overlooked by a buddha. The whole place is beautifully decorated and the calming music and efficient service will ensure you leave the restaurant calm and having achieved inner peace with yourself. The sushi here is fantastic. I usually opt for the 26 piece samurai set (there are cheaper lunchtime deals at an even more reasonable price). Desserts are nice. There is a green theme going on here, you can order such delights as green tiramisu, green creme brulee and green lemonade. If you're not into sushi there are other options, I quite enjoyed the ramen burger, a normal burger but with a bun made of noodles instead of bread. To sum up, I love this place.

The food is well prepared, nicely served and usually pretty tasty. The choice is really extensive and covers various Asian cuisines (Japanese, Thai, Korean, etc). I always have a feeling that it is expensive though and I am not sure that it is a deserved opinion. The menu is so tempting that I always want to order about 10 dishes (excluding sushi) which would be very expensive so I don't and feel like it was too expensive, even though I wouldn't be able to eat it all. Main courses could be a bit bigger though, even if it was just more rice. Memo to self: order a big binge feast there sometime with at least 10 dishes and take a hungry friend.

We liked so much we returned a 2nd time, our only repeat meal over 2 weeks in Europe! We had two types of Curry, Panang and Yellow, both were great. We asked to substitute Chicken vs the Shrimp or other meats shown on menu with those curry and they accommodated without any fuss and charged us the lower price for Chicken (vs Shrimp) without even being requested. The Thai Soup in Coconut base was excellent as well. The Chicken Kapungi was surprisingly deep fried which we didn't get from the menu - tasty but we wouldn't get that one again. Chicken Skewers were very good. Prices reasonable including the drinks. Highly recommended. We didn't try the sushi from that menu, it was a bit higher priced (for Poland) but I am guessing top notch based on the restaurant but we didn't feel it worth trying that on this trip given we have access to great Sushi back home.

Selection of indgredients, granularity of rice, fresh vegetables and fish, esthetics of cutting and rolling. It is important not only to like the sushi itself but also to like preparing it for others :-) not to mention the way it is presented on the table afterwords. Sushi is also one of these dishes that you can order and eat in a restaurant and also feel good about it :-) NINE kitchen is that kind of a restaurant. I was really surprised because I haven't felt this kind of sushi taste in a restaurant before. It was like as if they really liked making these rolls and it was made with passion. Rice wasn't dry, ingredients were fresh and tasty, wine was delicious and I am talking about as simple as it gets (it was a simple japanese plum wine that you can get in Alma). What is also surprising is the price, I don't quite remember what was it actually but it was about 20 zlotys to get a very decent portion of 2-3 types of maki and a complimentary nigiri + all the other suplementary parts like wasabi, soy sauce, ginger etc. The interior of the restaurant is very pleasant, everything was the way it should be and just fitted together. I was there with Lawrence and another girl from the US and we even had a little chat with the owner. She lived in Canada for couple of years and apparently liked eating and making sushi there. What she says and I agree that sushi doesn't have to be so expensive to be good. My personal opinion is that sushi in Polish restaurants is overpriced without any apparent reason. Probably the owners think that it is so special and uncommon that it needs to be expensive. Well.. it doesn't and NINE kitchen is a proof of that. I will definitely come back and I will bring people there :-)

It was my last day in Kraków and I desperately wanted to try some sushi before leaving. Youmiko…read morestarts at 2 p.m. and I was the first customer ready for "the best sushi ever!" When making the reservation, I wanted to have a nice table, and be sure that I was expected right after opening. The restaurant is tiny. With four small tables at the ground level, and a small room in the basement next to the restroom, it could be a crowded dining experience. The bar is too narrow with uncomfortable-looking seats to be an attractive option, at least for me. I was on time. I immediately noticed that the server had an attitude. She was nonchalant, and not particularly friendly. It was the opposite of any experience I'd had in any Japanese restaurant before. I chose the omakase, which has fourteen pieces / 7 courses. As I sipped a Sapporo beer, I was excited to sample what this place had to offer. The clubbing background tune wasn't the best choice for an early, hot and lazy afternoon. The first bite was the 'European Sea Bass Nigiri'. It was served with way too warm rice. When I picked it up it fell apart. Right after that I got a 'Seared Salmon Belly Nigiri', and again, I didn't like the rice at all. 'The Spicy Tuna Gunkan Maki' was tasty and refreshing. I also thought the 'Salmon Cake' was delightful. The 'Eggplant and Avocado', could be an excellent vegan choice. Next, three pieces of 'Salmon with Passion Fruit Hosomaki' were just fine. The last six pieces were 'Shrimp Tempura Futomaki'. It was very good, but I wouldn't expect that with any omakase. It was just too ordinary and nothing special, plus not what I would order in the first place. Perhaps my expectations were too high and anything other than omakase on the menu would have been more satisfying. Also their rice was a failure. I assume, coming right after opening wasn't the best idea. The price I paid was rather high considering Polish realities. Plus the quality of service didn't help to feel good about the whole experience. I tipped, but didn't hear even a little 'thank you' or anything when I was leaving the restaurant. I'm not planning to return anytime soon.
