Was too much people at the time, but still More than half full. Over all the service not bad as other said. Sushi combination. Fish was ok. Rice not for me. Maybe it's cultural diff, the rice are too dry and hard. It's not typical Japanese way of making. Not even 50% I say. Yes, I see Asian cheap. But doubt he Japanese. Would really recommend if ur a sushi lover with higher standard. Ramen presentation was pretty. But soup too salty, not much taste. Ribeye steak with white rice. Steak was cook just the right way with good favor. Wonder if I was lucky that day. Rice? Not good at all. Dry and hard. From the 2 rice I ate. That why I say maybe in German they like it more that way. But not for me at all. I say that western cook way of rice. Not Asian.

We went there on a Saturday night for a "romantic" dinner. First of all, it took 10 minutes for us…read moreto get the menus. Second, once we ordered, we were told 10 other minutes after, that our order was not possible since they were out of lamb. We then ordered something else (10 more minutes), finally got our drinks after 30 minutes. And we got served 1 hour after ordering! I ordered my meat through, it was bloody (reverse psychology?) the french fries were burned and smelling like old oil. Once we started eating and since they were about to "close" (on paper - even though the place was still well populated) they played music SO LOUD we could not hear each other anymore (we were less than a meter apart) !!! We asked one waiter to reduce the volume but to no avail. The dessert was some frozen cake that was very hard, too sweet but of course expensive, like the rest. Overall we had to finish in a hurry because we could not take the crappy lounge/techno music blasting louder than in a nightclub anymore. Final check: more than 100€ for that...NEVER AGAIN. if you want to go home early (yes 11pm IS early on a Saturday night, even in a small city like Konstanz) you might want to open something else than an expensive pretentious restaurant with very poor service and a peculiar way to treat customers...

Under new management so lots of growing pains. It was obvious within the first few minutes. Feel…read morebad for the two stars, but I don't want to sugar coat. Service was slow because the the wait staff was new and there was only one sushi chef which was also the manager. It didn't look too good because he was managing the team and trying to teach/call out their mistakes while he was making the sushi orders for the whole restaurant. Another sushi chef came in to help but he was in and out of the kitchen. It was a bit chaotic. The fish quality is good, but unfortunately it gets muted out by the wet rice (need to work on their sushi rice as its too wet, has potential) and the ratio of the rice. The tuna carpaccio (€13.80) sauce was way salty. It was more of a miso sauce versus the vinegar mizu-like sauce. The sauce overpowers the sushi instead of complementing. Usually for me, a sushi house like this is either good with salmon or tuna...not both. For this place the salmon is better. Ordered the sashimi set (€23.60) and came with three pieces of tuna and salmon and four pieces of a white fish topped with fish eggs. Not really worth it. All in all the prices are pricey for what you get and also the rice is not good. They do have potential because the sushi quality is okay. They are in fact under new management. He hopes it'll be better in the new year. At the end of dinner we wanted to pay by card and the waitress said they didn't accept cards for the evening. So we had to run out to the ATM. I said there should be a sign outside for this... She said there was one on the door, so then I felt it was my fault for not looking. But then she came back and said the sign isn't there anymore. Therefore, annoyed. And also...put one up! The wait staff just were so clueless...nice and sweet, but just not on it. The manager/chef was right there and I'm sure he was aware of this, an apology for the inconvenience would of been nice. You can try this place out and see how it turns out as they get themselves together. I probably won't be back as sushi is a novelty around these parts and I want to go somewhere where it's a sure thing (ie. Tatsumi).

Service and food were just okay. We ordered the udon and the sashimi for dinner. The tuna was…read moregreat, and the salmon roe was a surprise, but everything else was okay. The udon was average. We also picked out some items from the rotating conveyer belt including green seaweed, black seaweed, and a roll of salmon sushi. Here is the reason for my 1/5 stars: Each plate you select off of the conveyer belt has a different color indicated on the outside rim of the plate. The menu clearly indicates how much each color plate is. However, there are two very similar yellow plates but the restaurant argues that one of them is green! In fact, the one they think is green is actually nearly identical to the yellow color in their own menu. In summary, this restaurant is scamming customers with this coloring discrepancy. If they clearly marked the colors then this wouldn't be a problem, but I strongly suspect they do this intentionally, and will continue to do so. What a disappointment.

This is a really nice restaurant located in the middle of the shopping center Lago am See. Must…read moresay that I was kind of disappointed in the shopping center itself, but the restaurant was a real gem! The restaurant is really modern and has a full bar and a cool lounge area. I had a lovely glass of prosecco and the boyfriend had a Maisels Dunkel Weizenbier while waiting for the other couple to show up. We decided to splurge on the most expensive item on the sushi menu, "Sushi Deli" for 2 people. 49.50 Euros paid for: 18 Nigiri sushi (scallops, salmon, shiromi, tuna, ebi (shrimp), amaebi (sweet shrimp), omelette, squid, hamachi), a 6-piece California roll (salmon, avocado, fish roe), and a 8-piece maki roll (tuna and salmon). We were kind of wondering about the amount of food, and it was served on a gigantic platter that looked massive. However, it was the perfect amount for a meal. Not so much that we were exploding afterwards, but enough so we felt satisfied and didn't leave hungry. The sushi was fresh and tasted delicious, and although it cost quite a bit, it's still MUCH cheaper than an equivalent meal in Zürich. :D Our friends ordered off the Deli Cafe Restaurant menu and really enjoyed their chili chicken and rice meals. The great thing about this restaurant is that they have such a huge selection, from Asian to German to Italian to Mexican foods. Definitely was a great place for dinner on a Saturday night. I really enjoyed it and would love to come back here again if we are ever in Constance.

Definitely a solid ramen spot, but I think the food and drinks could use a little something to add to the pizzazz.

This was my first Swiss Ramen stop out of the 3 places I've had bookmarked for their ramen. So I…read morewas quite excited to give it a try. I ordered their Shoyu Ramen, originally I wanted to try their tonkatsu ramen but they unfortunately sold out for the day, mind you...I came in 50 minutes before they closed . The brothe was delicious and hearty but it lacked the dense weight a Shoyu ramen should normally have. The chasu was interesting since it's not your traditional Japanese pork but of swiss origin; wasn't bad, just wished it had some more flavor to it. The noodles were any typical ramen noodles you can get a basic ramen shop, I wish they served it in some firm wheat ramen noodles Overall, it was a decent experience. If I'm ever around the area again, I plan to try their tonkatsu ramen as that was my original goal.

I was so full but could not leave out the beautiful desert. Hato is on my top 5 list with Joel Robuchon, French Laundry, morimoto's and Alain Ducasse's worldwide places. Greatness all around...5 stars!!

We both like…read moreJapanese fusion food so when I heard about Hato I knew that this was the place we had to go. I looked at the menu before going and was super excited but to be honest, the host was not very friendly at all. She gave my friend and I a look and apparently we were not up to her standards or maybe she is a snooty person? Our waiter had the same attitude at first, he did not give any explanation on the menu, except that he volunteered info that we could opt for a glass of wine instead of a bottle if we wanted to save some money (not kidding!). However, when the food arrived we were in heaven! All the dishes were AH-MAH-ZING. I honestly don't know what was the best: the Hamachi with yuzu & truffle was super delicious, the dressing complemented the fish instead of overpowering it. I was super hesitant about the eggplant nigiri sushi but my friend wanted it and it surprised me pleasantly. In addition, the sashimi was by far the best one I had in Switzerland. I also want to point out that the matcha chiffon cake was a big hit, even for people like me who are typically not big on desserts. I must also admit that our waiter seemed to mellow up once we ordered food and drinks, he was very happy to give us recommendations of Japanese whiskey to finish our meal and the manager gave us free shots to end the evening - so I guess the initial awkwardness disappeared. However, I still think that restaurants should be welcoming to everyone, regardless of how much they spend, hence, I am not giving it a full 5 star review. So this is a super high 4 star review, overall I had a great night at Hato, maybe 5 star is in their future because I will definitely revisit.

I came here based on a recommendation of a colleague, the service was extremely friendly and swift so no complaints on that part. We started with a bottle of sake and had several dishes, the sashimi was fresh and cheap (to Swiss standards): the tuna on it wasn't very special but I have not seen many sashimi platters which had fresh raw shrimp in Switzerland so kudos to that. Overall the food was of good quality and we were statisfied eating the recommended 3 dishes per person. However, my friend wanted a dessert so I choose a the tofu donut. Initially we were considering splitting since I don't really have a sweet tooth but decided against it since my friend wanted one for herself. Best decision ever. This was the best dessert I've eaten in a very very long time. I know that tofu doesn't sound appealing to most people but this is the most delicious creamy ice cream combined with a scrumptious fritter. My mouth waters just thinking about it. They should rename this place to AMAZING JAPANESE DONUTS and I am sure it would have a line in front of the door. I will be back just for the donut. Recommended!

Me and my friends were lucky enough to just wait 30 minutes to get a table for 4. I ordered their Tonkatsu Ramen. It had a nice solid brothe to it, just missing a slight kick that a tonkatsu ramen generally has but still hella good! The noodles were slightly firm and it accompanied the brothe well. I had a WHOLE egg to myself and it was slightly runny which you know a damn fact makes a ramen more wholesome! The other bits of toppings were good as well. My friend order their Miso ramen which I gave a try and I'll say fora fact that it was lacking a bit in what a Miso ramen stands for. They were TOO generous with the bean sprouts which ruined the whole ramen experience for my friend All in all, I had a solid experience here but can't say the same for my buddy.

The soy sauce dishes have flecks of gold. There is even a tatami room with the sunken floor. Star #4: Great view of the Swiss countryside. We saw lots of cute cows, sheep, and horses while driving up. Star #5: Really yummy and fresh sushi and sashimi. Unbelievable to find such authentic Japanese food in the middle of Switzerland. Bonus star: Really soothing music in the background, with all my instrumental favorites--Sound of Music tunes, Scarborough Fair, etc. (Yes, I know it's cheesy, but it was the perfect complement to soothe my full belly...) I can confirm that this place definitely deserves its Michelin star. I'm glad that I found a Groupon to enjoy this exquisite meal at 50% off. Only CHF 60 for dinner for 2. :)

DO NOT come here for the "casual" dining. From the other positive reviews, it's mostly referring to…read morethe fancy "authentic" dining menu that's in another dining area in the hotel- which I believe is what is worth coming here for....not the day time casual menu in non-fancy part. 1. The Buffet for 39.80 CHF- Don't even think about it. In my opinion and the way I perceived it, it was pretty much a couple random dishes that looked like it was left overs from a party. Looked random and not appetizing looking at all. All on plates wrapper with saran wrap. Refer to my pic. 2. The Lunch Menu "Nodate" 45 CHF- This is a bento lunch which was okay. Just okay. The tuna roll was a shock and disappointing as it was cooked tuna. In my opinion, the tuna looked and tasted like it was from canned, refer to my picture. This might not be a fact, but doesn't change that it was indeed Disappointing. The tempura was not crispy fresh...it was a bit soft like it was sitting out for a 1/2 hour...which means it wasn't warm either. The beef was so so, but covered with a super thick teriyaki sauce- if this sauce was home made, in my opinion a lot of sugar might have went in the ingredients because it was super thick- that or corn starch? The sashimi was good, even though it was tiny little pieces. The waitress didn't communicate well. We were looking for some clarity on what the Nodate included and she pointed to the detailed menu and said "All of this below". It wasn't all of the below so our expectations were disappointed when we asked if the dessert was coming. She wasn't clear and she just pointed to the menu waiving her finger around. The presentation was really cute and I enjoyed that. The dishes came out of a Japanese Lunch Carrier thing. But that's about it. If you come here, avoid this restaurant and go to the other restaurant they have, but it's super pricey.
