You can eat running sushi here (I would recommend to make a reservation if you plan to come with 2 or more people) or order with a list. The quality of the fish is very good! Quality of the soups can vary sometimes... Prices are moderate, as it is common for Japanese food. I can really recommend this place if you are close to the pedestrian zone and look for a good sushi place close to it. 4 stars because of the soup incidents sometimes ;)

Started recently to come here for lunch regularly. Food has always seemed mediocre to me (too much…read moresugar, too much salt, not the highest quality in the world for my taste), but it was basically okay, the staff were nice, the mood is good, and the location is very convenient. Today, though, I ordered an udon soup for lunch, which was simply too salty and sweet to even eat. I was very hungry, but still couldn't manage more than 2 or 3 bites. I have almost never returned food in a restaurant in my life! But this time I mentioned something to the waiter and asked if I could have something else instead. He said that I could if I paid for both the uneaten dish and the new one. I didn't want to pay twice so had nothing else and let him take the inedible (to me) soup away uneaten. So today, over a 9 Euro bowl of Udon, this restaurant has lost all our future business. We paid 30 Euros for my husband's sushi, my uneaten soup, and some water, and will never return. This is a type of customer service approach that I simply do not understand.

Needing a quick lunch fix during some training in Erlangen, some colleagues and I decided on Hiro…read moreSakao just a brief walk down Allee am Rothelheimpark. The big standout on this place is that it has plenty of room, not like a majority of places I have gone to in Erlangen. I am sure this space is needed during the lunch time crowd. Hiro Sakao concentrates on Japanese and sushi dishes on their menu. In fact, their sushi menu is quite extensive. I decided on the Gyoza dumplings to start out with and the Ochi sushi roll for the main dish. I found both of them ok, nothing that I would rate as outstanding but definitely ok. It hit the spot for lunch. I found that after the order was taken, it was hard to get service to come back and attend to us. We had a particulary frustating time trying to secure our bill and get back on our way at the end. On top of that, if running your meal on a credit card, it seems a very slow process here as well, just to let you know (my colleague had a frustrating time with getting the transaction complete). Bottom line: An A-OK lunch spot, not outstanding but not bad either. There are a few speed bumps with service and getting transactions completed in timely manner but it serves the purpose for getting a lunchtime sushi fix.

We visited this hidden sushi restaurant due to the good ratings on Yelp :)…read more And we were really surprised - in a positive way! The Sushi we had was just great! As starters both of us ordered spring rolls which were bigger than we expected and really delicious in spite of their different preparation (see pictures!). We shared a big plate for two with some nigiri and makis. The selection was large and delicious! Although there were many people in the restaurant, it was not loud. The food came shortly after our order without long waiting periods. I was really happy to find this place and will now come by more often! :)

Reservation/Seating: you should definitely make a reservation if you plan a visit here. Usually they are pretty booked, and I sometimes had to leave again because there was no table available. Waiters: The waiters are nice, but not extraordinarily friendly. We had to wait almost 15 minutes until they took our order for beverages and brought us the menu. The food again took another 30 minutes - although it was a week day. This is definitely a reason to lower my rating, because the place was not super crowded that day. Food: The food is delicious, as you can also see on the pictures. However, it is a little pricy - the makis I ordered were 15 € for 6 pieces. But were they extraordinary? Not really... There are other places in Erlangen or Nuremberg where I get similar quality but at a lower price (Hiro Sakao or Sushi Glas for example...). Overall it was an okay stay every time I went (about 4-5 times already) but I never got past that "okay"-feeling...
