The prices are somewhat steep but everything is top notch, always fresh and impeccably prepared. It may seem somewhat intimidating to try to figure out what everything is, but I have always found the staff to be extremely helpful in this regard. I love the sushi and rolls and sashimi, as well as the more seasonal items on the menu, like the razor clams with mushrooms and the tiny fried fish. This is, by far, my favorite Japanese restaurant.

Twenty minutes walk from the historical centre, and worth doing it on your knees. The shop looks…read moredated, and the corny backlit sign makes you think this may be a bad idea. But there must be some unspoken rule that the best sushi restaurants are transported from decades past. Once you taste the food it becomes clear why several customers are Japanese themselves: this is the real deal. The fish was superb, and the preparation straightforward and unpretentious - none of the fancy presentation of fashion-conscious places, just really good food. Two telltale choices: the octopus was very tender, an easy one to get wrong. And the tuna sashimi, so often victim to dry, opaque squidginess, was deep and vibrant in colour, retaining the moist bite of fresh fish. Added to the essentials when in town.

I am still waiting to hear back from your team. This is my…read moreoriginal review. I will keep posting until I get a reply. Food cold, unsafe food practices, terrible atmosphere, even worse customer service. I had the worst dining experience of my life at the Umamido Ramen restaurant in Antwerp last night. Our food was cold. The broth was cold, the tofu was cold, and the egg was cold. Not only that, but there was audible arguing between the manager and the kitchen all evening. Mistakes were being made all night and the arguing got to a stage where everyone could hear it. At one point the manager and the chef were arguing because a food item had been sent out twice. I could also hear the kitchen complaining about customers, as well as the manager and the waiter complaining about the kitchen staff. I also witnessed unsafe food practice. I saw the chef take food out of another customer's ramen bowl, under the manager's supervision, because the kitchen had made a mistake and the dish had been sent out. It got so bad that we had to wait for our bill because both the chef and the manager were removing items from a ramen bowl due to the mistake. Because of everything that happened and because our food was unsatisfactory, I asked for a discount. When paying, I also told the manager that my tofu and egg were both cold. He told me it was meant to be cold and then accused me of bribery. I was genuinely shocked by this accusation, which is a very serious thing to say to a customer. He said it sounded like I was bribing him. This is really poor customer service. Not only did we have a bad evening, but the manager made it worse. I would like to hear from management about this.

The prices are a bit high compared to what I'm used to in America - 7 euro pork buns and 15 euro bowls of ramen. That said, the pork buns are fantastic!! By far the most delicious part of my meal. I have to say, though, I'm a bit jealous when I compare the pork buns I received with the pictures I'm seeing now on Yelp - I would have loved more pickled cucumber and scallions! Perhaps it's because the usual chef wasn't working that evening. For my main dish, I ordered the tonkotsu ramen. It was very good, but not the best I've ever had (a bit salty and not enough vegetables). I'd definitely go back again!
