Takoyaki is a speciality in this restaurant and as simple as that I obviously had to get them. So far these were the best Takoyakis I had in Germany but they are a rare species to begin with. Unfortunately I have one major complaint. The Takoyakis were not fresh and hot. They came out very fast which is surprising considering how long it usually takes to make them. I can only assume they were pre-prepared and finished to order. You could argue that I took pictures but I only needed about 5 minutes for that and all the Takoyakis I had in Japan still burned my mouth even after that time. These here were warm and could be eaten as a whole which I would never do in Japan! SERVICE Lovely service. The staff also explained the different Takoyaki variants on your plate at the table. ATMOSPHERE Small and simple restaurant. I decided to sit at a table outside because I felt it was nothing special. RATING If my Takoyakis were hot and "fresh" it would have taken me back to Japan instantly. I think when you put an item on the front of your menu, you should give it your best even if the customer has to wait. I will gladly wait thirty minutes or longer for hot and fresh Takoyakis. They still get my recommendation!

Two of us tried out Cocoro for lunch the other day, and it was absolutely delicious…read more We had Gyu don(beef bowl €9.5) and Sake don(salmon bowl €10.5) with a nicely done Matcha latte (€4.5). Totally enjoyed. Gyu don was just the way I wanted it, rice was well-covered in sauce, but not soggy nor swimming as some other Japanese restaurents I experienced. The only issue we had was the portion of Sake don, it would have been perfect if the portion had been as generous as Gyu don. However, the service was pleasant. We would definitely go back.

On my food journey through Berlin was this one of the stops I enjoyed more than others…read more This place is a rather small restaurant with smaller portions but it is good food for people who enjoy eating rather than trying to satisfy an "all-you-can-eat-appetite". The menu is nice and easy to cover - about 8 appetizer, 6 udon soups and 6 don dishes which allows you to get a good feel for what they are all about in one sitting. My friend and I shared the japanese omelette and the gyazu as an appetizer which I can both recommend. I chose the Gyu Don which they actually didn't have and what kinda caused me to give 4 stars only. We then actually ordered the sake don and the chicken terriyaki don. Both looked and tasted absolutely fantastic! To complete the experience we chose the "3 out of 8 sake sampler" for 12€ that allows you to trial 3 of the 8 sake they offer in their restaurant. Whenever I am back there is just Onigiri and Udon left to try. Check this place out! Really good...

We didn't realize Shibuya was literally in the shadow of Uber Stadium and, since information is…read morevaluable, lack of information is costly, so we paid 68 Euros for the food shown in my photos. 8 pieces of sushi, 2 bowls of ramen, 1 coke 68 Euros, or $78 dollars for lunch. How was the food? It was fine. Not exceptional, not bad. But the price tag was the same had we been dining at a pro sports event or concert: excessively expensive. As soon as we arrived and entered the restaurant within 50 steps of the stadium we knew the prices would be gouging. We considered going somewhere else but I had scheduled meetings for it was a Thursday at noon and time was valuable, expensive even, and our expensive, valuable time was traded for expensive, but pedestrian, food.

From the food to the atmosphere to the owners, everything was perfect. The tall ceilings with raw light walls and a stunning wooden table sets the scene with light jazz music playing. Seating only 8 creates a relaxed environment for one to really enjoy their meal. We wanted to try everything, so my boyfriend had the 5 course meal and I ordered 4 dishes off the menu. Everything was not only fresh and delicious but also beautifully plated. My favorite was the salmon tartar served over an avocado salad and arrived to the table in a glass bell filled with smoke. wow. they also have an excellent wine selection as well as Japanese whiskeys. Kumami is owned by a Japanese couple who have paid attention to every detail in order to make your experience perfect. This restaurant is definitely worth the trip outside Berlin to experience the deliciously fantastic food and wonderful interior !!

I am from Tokyo and have lived London and Berlin for 10 years and for the first time after a long time, I thought I had a real Japanese food. The chef is a Japanese architect as well, and all the interior is done by himself. It is quiet and spacious place and very cozy atmosphere. Daily menu is only a course menu with 5 smaller dishes (if you are still hungry at the end, they can serve you a little bit more, but I think you will be fine with 5 dishes). All the dishes are so precise and wonderful and enjoyable both visually and by tasting. The couple pick ingredient everyday and to me, it is so nice to find a place in Köpenick!! It can have only 8 people and well spaced so it does not bother other people. You need to book the table beforehand otherwise you may be disappointed. But visiting Köpenick, walking around the waterfront or enjoy boat trip and come to this place at the end of the day can be such a peaceful day for me. Strongly recommended!

But this restaurant, although small and quaint, blows me away every time I eat here. You can always tell if a Japanese restaurant is good by their miso soup, and as a starter the Miso soup broth was above and beyond my expectation. The udon is big enough for two people, in case you were planning on ordering for one person. The nigiri is hand cut and served so exceptionally I was impressed. The food takes a while to come out, but well worth the time. Note, this restaurant only takes cash or EC. So bring your Euro!

The atmosphere is beautiful and refined, with a very upscale Japanese vibe that makes the whole evening feel special. From the moment we walked in, the staff were extremely attentive and welcoming. Since we had a reservation, we were seated right away, and our waiter made the night even better. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and gave us fantastic recommendations both for which cuts of meat to order and which sake to pair with them. The quality of the food speaks for itself. Every piece of meat was fresh, perfectly prepared, and cooked exactly how we wanted. The sake pairing took it all to another level. If you're looking for a place in Germany that delivers on service, atmosphere, and exceptional food, Ushido should absolutely be on your list. Highly recommend for a date night, birthday, or any special occasion!

But everything else was immaculate. Prefer the only salt wagyu then in soy sauce marinated wagyu. Every kind of premium was spelling premium on your tongue. Every beef they offered was tasty. Also tried the pork belly which was also nice marinated so that the pork had this smokey unique taste. For side dishes I recommend you to try the karaage and agedashi. Very very delicious!!! For veggies we only picked the pumpkin. Very nice flavor and matched the beef very very well. Fyi: you should book in advance or reserve a table since it's always full. Parking is very hard. This restaurant is more on the pricier side! They have a special grill which doesn't make any sounds unlike Korean barbecue where you can here it sizzling. That's why you don't really smell that strongly after eating. All in all very nice service, super fresh and high quality beef. Worth going!
