The place was nice and clean. I thought the food was just alright, the noodles springy. I thought the spicy ramen broth wasn't very spicy and not too flavorful.

Everything on the menu looked so delicious but I went with a few recommendations from the server and bartender. The oysters were delicious! From Ireland apparently. They came three to an order and whatever brine they were in was so tasty. The info in this review might be a little lacking because I cannot remember the name of a single thing I ate, but it really was SO good. I got one roll with salmon and another with scallop, but were torched after served and I loved that they were served warm. Everything did take just a little bit of time to come out, so they kindly brought over a bowl of edamame. I wasn't in a rush so I didn't mind at all (but obviously loved the surprise edamame). The space was cozy and perfect for a date, solo night like I had, girls dinner, whatever. If you love sushi, you are going to want to make a reservation here.

Food: They had a vegetarian takoyaki on the menu, which I haven't had in many years. Obviously it didn't have actual tako in it, but it was still very good. I also had the vegetarian ramen that was also good. Service: Service was quick and easy. Not much to add. TL;DR - Not a bad place for vegetarian ramen and appetizers!

Staff don't bother to find tables for you; they let customers figure things out among themselves. Alright. We eventually grabbed a table after 5-10 minutes, then had our order taken 10 minutes later. The food took a long time to come out: about 40 minutes (other than 1 appy that came out after 20). Good thing it was tasty. We got: -plantain fries (€6) -- tasty, especially with the sweet dipping sauce, but you get about 8 fries, so not great value. -okonomiyaki (€12.90) -- this was wonderful. So many lovely textures, flavours, and seasoned beautifully. This was the highlight of the meal for me. -vegan plate (€18.90) -- really nicely designed plate, with a base of brown rice, with a sort of Japanese slaw, vegan chicken katsu, tempura (apparently, though I didn't notice it), and stir fried veggies. Super tasty stuff. Not the biggest portion, but not bad either. My friends each got the crispy roti wrap (€14.90), which they loved, and the taste I had was great. Overall, great food, not the best dining experience. Perhaps my experience wasn't representative. I'd go back for the okonomiyaki alone.

The prices are pretty reasonable and the food is pretty good, though I only tried the sashimi assortment (large) and can't speak to the hot food. The sashimi assortment came with a good amount of sashimi though it didn't specify what kinds of fish it came with, some were more a miss than a hit. Overall the fish was fresh and I enjoyed it. Service was a bit slow, but mainly because there was only one waitress serving the entire restaurant (and maybe just one chef), so not really their fault. All in all, decent place for Japanese food.

Our waiter was very friendly and helpful in addition to being quite chatty, which I liked because he was able to give us recommendations on places to visit.

Instead, he introduced us to Okonomiyaki--a savory Japanese pancake often compared to an American pizza. The chef and one of the owners, Lui, was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and proud of his food (as he should be!). He spoke excellent English, which made the experience even more enjoyable, as he took the time to explain the dish and its background. We were so pleasantly surprised by how delicious the Okonomiyaki was--truly amazing! What started as a detour from what we expected ended up being one of the most memorable meals of our trip.

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.
