They really don't know much about the products they're using and the fish is not good. The hotate was old and slimy and the quality in general was lower than what I would normally accept for something I'm going to put in my body. I don't understand how it's been there so long but I guess it's because the Dutch in general don't understand food and have a very hard time identifying quality in what they're eating. There are maybe 4 sushi places in amsterdam that are worth eating at and none of them are great. Even yamazato is about as goid as your average, walk in off the street, sushi bar in NY or California. Sushi is one of the things I've missed deeply in my 12 years living here and Otaru is a perfect example of why.

I don't know the whole story but it's different. Just fair warning. That being said the sushi was still all right, but nothing out of this world. It was actually an interesting experience to sit outside eating our sushi in the alley instead of inside. Not many places where you can do that for sushi. The fish tasted fresh enough but slices were on the thin side for sure. Lucky for us the service was fast and he was always attentive of our needs. This was certainly a welcome treat. I can't say to try it or not at this point. I think there are better places to go but this is one in the neighborhood anyway.

The selection of fish here was a bit disappointing - they just have the basics (tuna, salmon,…read moreunagi, ebi, red snapper). That being said, the tuna and salmon were tasty.

But Syl's review sold it. And he's right! Really decent sushi and at a pretty good price. €21 for an all-you-can-eat dinner and believe me, I got value out of it. (They also do a €25 "deluxe", but I did fine with the "basic".) The food kept coming and there was no hesitation when I ordered a fourth round. The menu is pretty clear, with pictures of the food and the numbers. Just order away. Don't go completely crazy because you do have to eat everything you order. There's no take-away at the end. I had temaki (loaded with smoked eel!), gunkan with roe, and just a ton of salmon, tuna, octopus and even mackerel. Sitting at the bar, I could see it being prepared and it's all very clean and very organized. Note: I had a Kirin, figuring Japanese beer with Japanese food. Since Amsterdam isn't Japan, Kirin is imported. €4 for sticker shock! That's like $5.50 in real money! No wifi, but the TV behind the sushi bar was tuned to the Eurosports channel. Very friendly staff, all of whom spoke not just Dutch but also Japanese (to some Japanese tourists) and English. I would absolutely return!

for a japanese place inside centraal station, i would say this place is not bad…read more gave it 4 stars coz the food was above average...portions were generous...staff was very nice....prices were typical...and ambiance was amazing for train station standards...but the best part was the view from the dining room. i have to give kudos to my server too for helping me out with directions by using his own phone and even writing it down on paper for me. plus, he also engaged my son and chatted about online gaming...made us feel really welcome and at home. ordered the pork shoyu ramen + chicken gyoza for side dish ( lunch promo) yakitori w/ rice and soup, beef teri on rice and soup, and "waffu" steak with rice and soup.... ramens broth was aromatic and rich...a little on the salty side though so more water was need...noodles were cooked perfectly , shoyu pork was tender and succulent, soft boiled egg was done right as well. only funny thing i noticed is they placed bok choy in it...lol. never seen bok choy on ramen, but maybe thats the chinese touch given by the owners whom i think could be chinese/viet . chicken gyoza was done right too...crispy bottom and served with a tangy dipping sauce. beef teri was done well too. good portion. came pipping hot and flavour was there. miso soup was good too. chicken yakitori came with 3 sticks and generous chicken chunks...chicken was not seasoned that well. would taste bland without the sauce for sure. but overall, it was satisfying and not bad. the beef "waffu" was really a piece of steak with sauce...steak was done well..tender and seasoned well. sauce did not overpower the steak. it was juicy and not dry. no free tea service - bummer for me :( but, dining was complemented with a spectacular view of amsterdam harbour, with boats passing by and nice buildings, as well as people walking and biking....classic ..very classic! washrooms were super clean. but overall, when hungry in amsterdam centraal station, look his place up. you wont be dissappointed! i highly recommend this place to satisfy a japanses craving... happy eating!

Don't expect any all you can eat sushi infused with lots of mayo and dressing. They say simplicity is the ultimate sophistication and I am a fan of simplicity. If you prefer all-you-can eat style sushi, this might not be for you. But if you appreciate a quiet homey low key date night, this could be for you. The service did seem a little slow as there was only one waitress working during that time, and perhaps the kitchen was understaffed as well? It's nice, but nothing great. Hence the three stars.

While walking across town, we were looking for some sushi and the yelp app led us here. And while…read morethe ratings were not the strongest, I noticed that the lower rating were older and concerned pricing, so we made a stop here and left satisfied. We started off with some sashimi, which came with a nice selection and was fresh. Next up, some nigiri selection, and they have a good number of choices. The rice was cooked and seasoned correctly, and the fish were cut expertly. We really enjoyed the tai, unagi and hamachi. We ended with some kushiyaki, and wile the chicken was really good, the saba was so so. They have a few decent choices for sake and overall, it was a solid dinner. I'm not sure about pricing in Europe, but compared to Seattle, I thought it was a less overall for the quality.

Loved the spicy tuna roll (my go-to when getting sushi) and my boyfriend thought enjoyed the long prawn roll. We'll be coming back again!
