If you've been to their spot in Oud West, you already know the vibe…read more It's the mother restaurant that started the craze, and it still holds the crown for one of the best atmospheres in Amsterdam. The concept is Japanese Finger Food (Izakaya style). Think less "giant bowl of ramen" and more "I want to try seven different things while sipping a highball." * Must-Haves: The salmon tataki is consistently perfect, and their katsu sando is a legitimate mood booster. * The Bar: Their selection of Japanese whiskies and sakes is top-tier. If you're unsure, ask the staff. Whether you're rolling deep with a group of friends or you're in town on a business trip and need a spot where you won't feel awkward sitting solo at the bar, this is it. It's buzzy, dimly lit, and high-energy without being pretentious. It's located in the heart of De Pijp. It's the perfect "anchor" for an evening. You can wander through the Albert Cuypmarkt during the day, grab dinner here, and then hit any of the neighboring bars for a nightcap. It's a popular spot and they don't always take reservations for small groups, so show up a little early or be prepared to grab a drink while you wait.

It was late at night and we didn't have much of a choice, so we were glad to have found this decent…read morerestaurant/bar. It's really more like a bar with loud music and a bar! Not our preferred type of ambiance, but the food was quite decent and the staff very friendly. If you are looking for a nice drink and decent food to go with, this may be it!

It is located in a…read morevery Japanese dominated shopping center, so you can get your hair cut, do groceries and have dinner here! They close between lunch and dinner (closed from 14:00-18:00), and after multiple attempts I finally made it here when they were open. A variety of familiar dishes are served and everything is made with love and care. I saw a number of Japanese families come here for dinner. We had the tonkotsu ramen and the Kyoto shoyu ramen with gyoza. Both ramens were tasty and flavored well. In the tonkotsu ramen you could see the globs of delicious fat that are signature of true pork bone soup and it was rich in flavor. The Kyoto ramen is a lighter soup with thinner noodles and super tasty. The gyozas were perfectly made and cooked. Sadly, they were vegetable only but so delicious. Overall, solidly good food that I would love to have every day. Food: 5/5 Delicious home-cooked Japanese food. Atmosphere: 4/5 It has an open kitchen so it feels like sitting in someone's dining room. There are bookcases filled with Japanese books all around. Service: 4/5 Servers were polite and friendly. Value: 3/5 Ramen was around ~12 euros, so prices were average.

Perhaps it's well suited to Japanese people but not for the general population who expect something from a Japanese restaurant. No sushi no tepanyaki style cooking! Was very average and utterly disappointing for a sushi lover. Had to comeback without dinner :( Overly priced! Sake is just 16 euros which should be 3.50 realistically. Waitress's don't speak any English nor Dutch so hard to explain what you want or what's their fav dish. Menu is in Japanese with bad English translations. What the heck is "tasted beef"??? Very expensive for a Japanese place. Hmm not again.

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.
