Takoyaki is a speciality in this restaurant and as simple as that I obviously had to get them. So far these were the best Takoyakis I had in Germany but they are a rare species to begin with. Unfortunately I have one major complaint. The Takoyakis were not fresh and hot. They came out very fast which is surprising considering how long it usually takes to make them. I can only assume they were pre-prepared and finished to order. You could argue that I took pictures but I only needed about 5 minutes for that and all the Takoyakis I had in Japan still burned my mouth even after that time. These here were warm and could be eaten as a whole which I would never do in Japan! SERVICE Lovely service. The staff also explained the different Takoyaki variants on your plate at the table. ATMOSPHERE Small and simple restaurant. I decided to sit at a table outside because I felt it was nothing special. RATING If my Takoyakis were hot and "fresh" it would have taken me back to Japan instantly. I think when you put an item on the front of your menu, you should give it your best even if the customer has to wait. I will gladly wait thirty minutes or longer for hot and fresh Takoyakis. They still get my recommendation!

Completely mediocre sushi with above average atmosphere…read more Kimchi was fresh, and had a sweet citrus taste, without anchovy flavor. Salmon soup was really a thai lemongrass soup with a couple of pieces of salmon in it. Drinks were fairly priced; white wine was oaky but not too bad, and the saki was surprisingly good given the lack of choices. Sashimi bowl was overly flavored: you had to scrape off the sauces and sesame to get to the fish flavor. The fish was nice, but the menu lied: there was no eel in the bowl. There was a lot of lettuce, however. Speaking of lies, the waiter absolutely refused to honor Yelp's free Prosecco with checkin offer. In many cities, this place would be a disaster, but I grade sushi in Berlin on a curve, since this isn't the town for that cuisine, and I did appreciate the atmosphere of Zen, despite some of the shortcomings of food and service.

FOOD & DRINKS Gyudon is a very typical meal in Japan. I saw…read moreit on the menu and had to try it out.The beef was kinda dry because it was mostly if not entirely lean. Perfect if you already count your calories but because of that reason you lose on flavor. I highly recommend to get the onsen egg with the bowl of beef over rice. Mix everything nicely together and the egg yolk will provide the necessary fat content to counter the dryness. Other than that the taste was good. Not mind blowingly good but a decent home cooked meal which in all fairness is what they are trying to do. SERVICE Staff was nice and friendly. Standard Japanese service which is a good thing. ATMOSPHERE Nice restaurant. Simple, a bit dark yet warm. RATING Four stars because even though they do Japanese home cook meals I think even in that specific area the flavors can be approved.

Kuchi Kuchi Louis Louis Fendi Fendi Prada. Basic b*tches eat…read morethat fish so I don't even bother. When a friend of mine raved about sushi in Berlin, I'd be lying if I told you that I wasn't skeptical. Sushi and Berlin, in my mind, don't exactly go quite as nicely as peanut butter and jelly. In other words, the two don't exactly go hand in hand. Boy, I couldn't have been more wrong. Kuchi is a little gem on Kanstrasse. We arrived prior the dinner rush, and were quickly escorted to our seats. The lighting in the restaurant was rather subdued, which I found created such a pleasantly calm atmosphere. Insider's tip? This would be a great date spot. The waiters and waitresses were just the right amount of attentive. And now onto bigger and better things--the sushi. Coming from a Los Angeles native, I really do have to say that the sushi was absolutely on point for the price. We ordered the sushi platter for 3, and let's just say that they were far more generous than I had expected. The portion was enough for two relatively hungry guys, and one slightly peckish girl. The sashimi was great quality, and most importantly, fresh, and the rolls were very flavorful and nicely wrapped. The only roll I couldn't have cared less for was the cucumber roll--but then again, who ever likes the cucumber roll...The presentation was great, and to be totally honest, I'm not quite sure if it was the company or the food, but the dining experience overall was absolutely solid. I only wish that I remembered what rolls exactly came with our platter, or how much exactly we each had to fork up, but I guess that's indication of a great dining experience, is it not? When you willingly open up your wallet post meal and dump anything and everything you have onto the bill, you know that the food was good. For the sake of a more comprehensive review, I'll head back and give the platter a second go...definitely don't mind if I do, and neither will you! Definitely a place worth checking out if you're in the area, and even if you're not!

If you are starving, you will spend a lot of money to become full. That being said, this place is a perfect place to enjoy tempura type food in a very relaxing and enjoyable place. Each piece of tempura food is chosen by the chef and delivered hot. I suggest sitting at the counter. The food, chosen by seasons, is matched with a particular dipping sauce. Whatever you order, you can tell them what you like or don't like. I suggest speaking some German as the owners only speak a little English. After you have had enough, dessert will come. A party of 2 eating 35 pieces between them with drinks...expect over 100€. It's worth it in my opinion.

Udagawa is my homeboy…read more I don't even see why I should justify my love to this place since I am not even willing to accept any other rating for this restaurant. Udagawa serves a lot of japanese homecooking and bento boxes. During lunch time you can order great bentos with a miso soup. This place it not trying to impress you with fanciness. Their focus lies on the serious food game they play and damn they play it well. Their Katsu for example is piece of perfect crispyness which is just on point. No fancy garnish just the real deal. Ok I kind of lied about the fancyness since their bento does look kind of pretty BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT. They are good because of the taste and not because of their look. (And you can't blame bento for being simply concepted this way) I have only very few japanese restaurants I'd recommend and this is one of them.
