    Best Japanese in Hamburg. Own and run by a Japanese couple. Authentic food and reasonable prices. Will stop by next time I am in Hamburg.

    I was there with a group of friends from Japón and my boyfriend. Their love the sashimi, the…read morequality is the fish was good and of course fresh. I was exciting because of the yakitory, but it was the worst dish from the table. I'll try to go again to give them another change.

    Ok, before I start this review I have to say that the food is actually good and authentic. However,…read morethat is the only positive thing about this place. Let's talk about the food first. We ordered the pork udon and that was pretty tasty, even better than some of the udon places in California. The pork was flavorful and so was the broth. The agedashi tofu I got tasted good as well, but the portions were so tiny we literally got a cube of tofu per person. Next, my beef bowl was good too! The meat was tender and flavorful. Sigh. The restaurant itself looked so worn down. The chairs were uncomfortable, the walls were bare, and everything just looked like no one cared about it. Our server was the absolute worst part of the entire night. She was slow and when we asked what was in the twenty-five euro bento box she said "I have no idea! What do you mean?" Then we asked her politely if she could find out what was in it, and she said, "what?" By this point I was already so annoyed. When she came back she really put the cherry on top of the sundae was telling us "the bento box comes with salad, a miso soup, and rice of course!" The she gave us a bad attitude when we decided not to order it. Even worse, she hardly came to check up on us, and when I asked her for the check she looked confused again. It was just a miserable dining experience. The prices were very expensive as well. The menu didn't explain exactly what you got, and it was again so old and dirty. For the food alone, this place would have gotten four stars (even with the expensive prices,) but the service was so terrible that I could almost safely say that this was one of the worst nights of my life.

    I was here for my boyfriends birthday. It is quite expensive but worthy it. The service was…read moreamazing, the waiters try to do their best for you to enjoy the dinner. The quality for the food is top. The only thing we didn't like was that the table next to us order a place which looks delicious but the meat is cooked on the table so you will have all the smell in your clothes and hair.

    I feel bad writing this review because the server actually seemed like a nice individual. However…read moreat a restaurant of this quality there are certain standards that should be at least the bare minimum. We had a reservation at 8:30 pm and weren't seated until 8:40 after arriving 10 minutes early. There was only one host working and a line of 5 reservations waiting to be seated. One of these tables happened to get their starter before we had even been given a drink menu (they gave us food menus to start). It took another half an hour for us to get our drinks and put in our food orders. When that did happen, one of the appetizers we ordered was sold out. (I know this happens, but they included it on our bill at the end of the meal). When our entrees did come out, they brought the wrong entree for my girlfriend and she had to wait another 20 minutes for her food (sashimi). All told it was almost 3 hours from the time we were seated until we were able to pay the check. I'm sure some people would not mind not being rushed, but when this length is due to your table largely being ignored and continuous mistakes being made by the staff it is very frustrating. All we were offered was a "we are very sorry! This is not normal. Please give us another chance." I don't see this happening as our customer experience was so poor. The only reason for this being two stars is the food is actually good as well as the ambiance. And although that combination is a majority of the experience the service and professionalism was so poor I can't in good conscience recommend this establishment to anyone.
