    You have to reserve in advance and it's always full, but worth it. Hands down the best sushi I've had in Berlin, and at quite good prices too. Try the vanilla ice cream with Matcha sauce on top.

    Well, it does live up to the hype. Awesome high quality food, super friendly japanese staff and very reasonable prices. Best japanese place in Berlin so far. Advanced booking is a must!

    Lovely restaurant run by real Japanese people. Fantastic staff. Specials and small dishes are great. Rolls are nothing special. Just go for the daily specials and small dishes like tempura, etc. $$

    Absolutely the best sushi in Berlin. Go alone or you'll never get in without a reservation. Insider tip: George Clooney prefers the front left corner. If the paper walls are out he's in there. Yum!

    Looking for authentic Japanese experience? Come here. One of the best sushi place and with very moderate prices (edamame 2,5€, sushi for 2 25€). Try sushi surprise from chef and gyosa fingerrolls

    Best Sushi I ever had! Japanese Restaurant - not just good for Sushi. The quality and taste of the raw fish was extraordinary. Even the wakame salad was much better than in other restaurants.

    Great service. Sushi is good, but we enjoy the side dishes (fried chicken, cold spinach, tempura, gyoza stick) much more. Portion is small so prepare your wallet if you go hungry 😁

    Very good. Fish is very good quality. Price is fair. Air conditioner missing tho (okay but today was very hot...). Love all the starters and dishes. Like the sake menu

    Love this place and have to control myself when ordering on every visit. Service has always been warm and the sake menu is interesting. Make reservations in time and mind your socks when floor seated.

    Second favorite sushi spot in the city. Get the omakase and coconut creme brûlée. Book in advance. Cozy Japanese-style booths.

    The spinach with sesame and the grilled salmon are good. The sushi is not good. And the rice bowl not good at all! A bit dissapointed with this place. Very friendly staff.

    Top quality food, service and atmosphere. Sit at the bar, watch the masters in action and definitely get the pork belly for one of your starters.

    Best sushi ever! Cosy and not too big restaurant, so good to go for an intimate dinner. I would absolutely go there again when in Berlin.

    Probably not the cheapest sushi around, but it's value for money. Ingredients, (especially the seafood) are pretty fresh, which is hard to find in Berlin. Don't bother coming without reservation

    Really great sushi and sashimi! Fish quality is surprisingly good, given how far Berlin is from any ocean. I'll be back for more!
