I ordered a Japanese eggplant dish as an appetizer and it was great, my sushi was a plate of sushi and a roll of my choice....I loved every piece. Fresh, nice rice and the servers dressed in authentic looking Japanese outfits, right down to the white socks and the thong wooden shoes. It was a nice change from the regular German fare in Dusseldorf.

Das Hackbarth´s war eine positive Überraschung, obwohl - eigentlich hatte ich mir schon gedacht,…read moredass sie ihr Handwerk verstehen, da ich vor 2 Jahren dort schon einmal zu einem Kochkurs war - wirklich toll! Wir waren letzte Wochen an Rosenmontag dort - Karnevalsflüchter! Immer montags wird dort ein 12-gängiges Vorspeisen-Menü, serviert in 4 Gängen mit jeweils 3 Speisen - angeboten. Für 32,50 € kann man wirklich nicht meckern. Zum Abschluss, quasi als 5. Gang, gibt es dann noch ein 3-teiliges Dessert. Wirklich empfehlenswert, man sollte allerdings unbedingt vorher reservieren. Den 5. Stern habe ich nicht gegeben, da wir leider recht lange (über 40 Minuten) für einen Weg brauchen, da kann das Restaurant nichts für, aber wenn man am nächsten Tag arbeiten muss, ist das leider etwas umständlich. Wir werden sicher dort auch nochmal à la carte essen, dann aber an einem Wochenende, das wird dann sicherlich etwas entspannter:)

FOOD & DRINKS Okonomiyaki in Düsseldorf is not very common…read more That is why I wanted to see how good it actually is. If I am not mistaken, what they serve here is the Osaka style okonomiyaki where everything is mixed in the batter and served as a thick pancake. I much prefer the Hiroshima style where it is more of a thin pancake and the ingredients sit on top of that and also often comes with fried noodles. It gives more layers of texture and is less heavy on the stomach. But that is just my personal preference. Osaka style oknomiyaki can be pretty filling and I did the mistake in ordering it with the fried chicken. Batter on batter and on top of that with Japanese potato salad. While the size of the pancake is pretty small, it can fill you up in no time. And if not then just add some protein and cheese on top. You won't go home hungry. The execution of the okonomiyaki is fine. I am just not a fan of this style because the pancake can be so dense. That is just me though. Other than that I would have preferred to do it myself. I also find it more fun that way but having an experienced chef to do it for you is by no means a bad thing for the majority of customers. Furthermore I'm happy to see that they also offer vegetarian items. SERVICE I think the service was alright. It felt very formal which is not my preferred style of service but that doesn't make it bad. You will be in good hands. ATMOSPHERE Here comes what I think is the big seller of this restaurant besides of the okonomiyaki. The decoration is just phenomenal but also very untypical for most oknomiyaki restaurants you find throughout Japan which are more simplistic. While most of the other Japanese style restaurants in the area definitely try to adopt and make a more modern approach to interior design, this place takes a slightly different direction. This place is packed with decorations about Japan. From the traditional big lamps to the japanese sake containers on the wall to the cute details all around. This place wants to make you feel as if you were in Japan not just by the food but also with their sense of decoration. RATING This place can be packed if you come here with a group of more than two and want to sit at a table. I highly recommend to reserve a table to make sure you don't have to wait too long. Come here if you miss Japan or if you want to immerse yourself into Japanese culture. This restaurant is worth trying out! NOTE One review mentioned that you can't get oknomiyaki for dinner. That is not true. You can get it every day for dinner. That is what they are known for. Just make sure to check when the kitchen closes. You can't get them too late into the evening.
