The atmosphere is authentic Japanese, where you will personally experience the close-up and very close quarters personal space. If you don't like tight places this is not your place. The food is authentic and well prepared, while the service is attentive. I enjoyed this place thoroughly and Highly Highly recommend it - Ku-da-sai. Don't forget to try the grill. Beef Friday-Sunday; pork the rest of the week. Enjoy, bon appetite!

Came here for a try. I found the size of sushi was quite tiny. The broth and noodle of ramen are…read morefine but I was not impressed honestly. Especially the roots of bean sprouts weee not removed. In general, this is a place for comfort food but not that unique from my perspective.

Oh yeah! This tiny…read moreplace is a short walk from a major indoor food market, and it's absolutely worth a try. We wandered in just looking for some simple ramen, and left with full bellies and eyebrows arched out of surprise. I had a simple chicken and rice bowl, and my friend had the vegetarian ramen. We were both skeptical about a vegetarian ramen, but WOW! I had to steal a few spoonfuls of the broth to pour over my rice, and it was a great decision. This was my first time having a chicken bowl and I never suspected such a small dish could have such a mighty impact on my palate. It's a simple chicken and rice bowl, with fantastically simple yet elevated flavors (great texture on the chicken). Absolutely put this place on your list the next time you're in the Altstadat area.

There were kind enough to put me at the bar. I got the Tonkotsu ramen with Chili oil and it was divine and bursting with flavor. Noodles were done perfectly and I had a marinated egg that was cooked to perfection. There was a line of people outside waiting when I was done. Really glad I came since I had a taste for Tonkotsu since Ichiran in NYC.

This was the first time having sushi in Germany. The only drawback I have about this place is the portion size.

As I had mentioned previously, it is difficult to find spicy food in Germany. I needed to wake up my taste buds to venture into the city and this was a great spot. The restaurant is large for a German eatery, bursting with orange ceiling lamps and large benches. Completely brightened by the large windows. I was greeted immediately and the gal brought out an English menu for me. Of course, I was in the mood for a big bowl of ramen, and they had a nice vegan option. While waiting, I sipped on a cold green tea and I watched the world go by outside. I love people watching! Pretty quickly, the steaming hot bowl of ramen arrived. Full of veggies and enoki mushrooms that I love. Of course, it had zero spice but still was tasty. There are a variety of hot sauces as well as Togarashi, so I pretty much added each one into my food. The noodles had a nice bite to them and the veggies were still crisp. Great food and super customer service!

It was great wasabi, don't get me wrong, but they didn't advertise it being included in each and every bite/roll, didn't ask us whether or not we would like to include or exclude the wasabi, etc. We had delightful cuts of the best fish, but the wasabi really took away from it. It was more like wasabi rolls, not sushi rolls. Service was quite fast, and they greet you with a hot cup of green tea! The interior was packed at lunch time, and the small space was just like a sushi spot in the heart of Tokyo.

Part of me doesn't want to share this review because I hope it doesn't get more popular. We came…read morehere for dinner on Saturday and had a great meal and night. We did make reservations and would highly recommend everyone do the same, only about nine tables total in the place. We enjoyed looking at all the pictures on the wall of the food and that helped us see what other tables had ordered and we even started a list of what to order next time. My husband came here for the wagyu beef and got the 150g order and said it was delicious. I got the sukiyaki udon and it was also amazing. We ordered quite a few small plates because I was curious as well: gyoza (almost perfect), arabiki uinna (I liked these but admittedly pricey for serving size), dashimaki or Japanese omelette (so fluffy) and then for dessert we got the sweet potato ice cream which hit the spot. Cannot wait to come back and try more off their menu! This was one of the better restaurants we've had in Frankfurt and we've now been to quite a few. Just as a heads up, the reservations for the table are typically for two hours if that helps with planning your night!

Yes, they're owned by Japanese, but no, it doesn't mean it's authentic or good…read more We were super stoked to find a Japanese owned restaurant with stellar reviews near our hotel (Yay! No more sausages and potatoes!), but unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. We ordered the Christmas tree special for the 2 of us and it came with lots of rolls, but most of them tasted mediocre. Some of the raw fish weren't even fresh. Also, the sauces didn't go well with the sushi. Maybe my standards are too high because I'm from California. It's sad to say that the sushi at our Japanese supermarkets are better than this. Service was a bit slow, but our waiter was very polite and friendly. If you're looking for a quality Japanese restaurant, this isn't the place to be.

So basically if there is one country that I'm completely enamored by the food but don't know a whole lot about it, it is Japan. Sure, we have all had sushi and ramen, but I have never really had too much else aside from hibachi style whatnots. I find sushi in Frankfurt not too great, but I have found some decent ramen here. I just never really thought much else about Japanese food here until I went to Konamon. You won't find ramen or sushi on the menu at Konamon. They specialize in okonomiyaki and takoyaki. They also offer some small dishes for appetizers. All is reasonably priced. They also have Kirin on tap. I ordered the pork okonomiyaki which was more or less a bacon like product as well as one order of octopus takoyaki. Both were stellar. I had the spicy miso with the okonomiyaki and their special house sauce with the takoyaki. Another great thing about this place is that I can walk there within 15 minutes and I have a bad feeling this could be dangerous for me in the future. Discovering this gem may be one of my summer highlights. The customer service is fantastic here and prompt. The takoyaki does take about thirty minutes to cook, on the other hand, so be prepared to wait a bit and enjoy a Kirin in the process. I don't have anything to compare this place to as I have never had Japanese food in Japan or even just Japanese food like this. But I left satisfied and feeling like I discovered a place I will go back to quite often, so I am extremely happy.
