Then we all ended up coming here together on my last day -- after trying it out with my lady. The filipino sushi chef was everything here. He was so kind, and helpful to my lady who he accommodated with vegan dishes. The toro here is better than many American sushi places I've been to! It is high quality. For the price -- we wanted to buy everything. Lol. Most of all, this place is authentic Japanese food! It is is co-Owned by Japanese as well as Turkish. The chefs in the kitchen are Japanese. No wonder why my Chicken Katsudon was on point. Brought back memories of Japan for me. I truly miss this place already. It's by far the bear in Istanbul as far as authenticity. Can't wait to come back.

Well worth a visit if you need sushi to 'complete you' in Istanbul (like I did). The Sushi and Rolls are tremendous. Also enjoyed the crispy edamame. Such a happy green color. I really enjoyed the ginger ice cream! What a surprise! It all went down so well. It is located a bit outside of the main tourist haunt, but close enough for a taxi from Taksim Square and the famous pedestrian Istaklal Street. I wonder what kind of meals it serves for Iftar during Ramadan? Well, since they serve wine and Saki, it will be eclectic!

The scene of being on the 13th floor and the water view is the greatest aspect of this place. It was the perfect scene for an 8:00 reservation (made by email on their website) to view the sunset. Prices are high, but worth the splurge.

We were in Istanbul for Valentine's Day and this rooftop restaurant with incredible views of the…read moreBosphorus seemed the perfect place to celebrate. The atmosphere is very romantic, you do have to dress up some (no shorts, tank tops, flip flops etc). The service is on point, friendly and fast. They have a great cocktail list as well as wine list. We ordered the calamari and octopus appetizers, which were so tender and delicious. We tried one of their sushi rolls with eel and salmon and again, it did not disappoint . For main course, I chose the lamb three ways and it was one of the best cooked and tender lamb I've ever had. Hubby had the filet and also loved it. Don't ask me what the dessert was - there was a lot of flavors and textures in this little chocolate heart! It was delicious, though I really wanted to try one of their soufflés, but I guess next time!

The charge was completely unreasonable and nowhere near the actual value of the drink. I strongly believe this place targets tourists and overcharges them. Before ordering anything here, make sure you know the exact price in writing. I do not recommend this place and will never return. Stay away and spend your money elsewhere.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant. The staff member who attended to us…read morewas rude and unprofessional. When we sat down, instead of offering to take our order, the waiter repeatedly suggested that we go to the restaurant in the lobby, even though I was looking at the menu to order. He came by our table three times, and each time I selected something from the menu, he insisted that it would be better if we went down to the lobby instead. Like he assumed that the food at the lobby restaurant would be more to our liking. This was incredibly frustrating and rude_his job is to take our order, not to push us away from the restaurant, make assumptions or suggestions. To make matters worse, he called over the manager and stared at us from a distance, which made the entire experience uncomfortable. I don't understand why the reception desk even directs guests to the terrace restaurant if they are not going to be welcomed or served properly. It's extremely disappointing that the staff seems uninterested in serving hotel guests and instead seems intent on driving them away. The whole situation left a very negative impression of this place. If you're going to run a restaurant, at least ensure your staff is doing their job--taking orders and serving food--not suggesting where you should eat based on their own preferences.
