What a find in Basel! Think of this as Japanese fusion. The staff was really nice and friendly, and…read morethe food was great. I ordered the tuna tataki and the surf and turf, and everything came out great. They have a small conveyor belt sushi on one end of the restaurant and a teppanyaki table on the other. The setup is really nice - sit at the teppanyaki if there are seats available and watch your food being cooked. The portions are generous. The tuna was seared nicely and the sauce was delicious. The surf and turf came with shrimp which had an amazing butter sauce. And the filet was perfectly cooked to medium raw - so tender. Presentation of the food was also nicely done.

We were lucky to find HATTORI SUSHI AND STEAKHOUSE right next to our hotel(Radisson BLU Hotel). We were greeted by the owner Nick who made us feel very welcome. The decor of the restaurant had an Asian flair and an ambience that was very comfortable. The restaurant had a moving sushi bar with an array of choices and Teppanyaki U shape counter. Hattori opened 5 Months ago. To start we had the Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura and Ahi Tuna Tataki with a Kirin Premium beer. The Tempura was light and crispy with a flavorful dipping sauce. The Tuna Tataki was seared to perfection with the right amount of seasoning and topped with daikon/sauce. The Steak was done medium rare with a variety of sautéed mushrooms including shiitake. It was plated with a nice delicate sauce with cubed gelatin flavored with shiitake mushroom dashi, mirin, shoyu and sake. Chef Alek served us his soft and tasty Homemade bread with a marinated broccoli spread. Executive Chef Alek's creations are so tasty. We ended the dinner with shot of Yamasaki Whiskey which won a world title as best in class and Sweet Umeshu. It was an excellent meal and we felt at home with the friendly staff and owner. We highly recommend Hattori Sushi/Steakhouse and hope you all will check it out. Your taste buds will be treated to an awesome epicurean experience!

Having lived in Japan for several years, the menu looked reasonably authentic. The door was invitingly wide open, with the sign clearly indicating "open". Upon entering, a waitress immediately approached and said "hello". We then asked for a table for two. Rudely, she said "we are closed". Hmmmm....then why would you have the door open, with a sign saying "open" with patrons being served? For yucks? We instead sent our business to a great chinese restaurant a few blocks east, Hong Kong restaurant, and were cheerfully served a great meal.

We were three of us during dinner at the Messeplatz location. All of us got food poisoning that night. Needless to say they made me pay for the extra ramen. The ambience was so steamy, hot and the service started well, but ended in a disaster. They didn't care for the customer at all. Would NOT recommend. It has nothing to do with authentic ramen...should have known considering they have way too many options and none of them are good. Convenience is not always convenient.

The waitress didn't know if the broth is pork or beef based. The egg's not prepared the way Ajitama are supposed to be. The chashu didn't taste like chashu. Grossly overpriced for what you're paying, even by Swiss standards. I've had ramen from all over - mostly in the U.S., and this was one of the most expensive yet also most disappointing bowls of ramen I've had to date. I hope the restaurant strives to deliver a more authentic and better quality bowl of ramen in the future, adhering and paying homage to the Japanese tradition.

Given that takoyaki is made with octopus, something that many non-Japanese are averse to, I had given up hope on finding these doughy balls of flavor anywhere outside of Japan. But, lo and behold, as my husband and I were walking through Strasbourg one cold night, we stumbled upon Yaki House. We ordered the traditional, and watched as our server hand made each piece (with exactly the tools and care it's made with in Japan!), and added all of the typical green onions, bonito flakes, kyuupi mayo, etc. It was piping hot, delicious, and best of all, authentic! Even my husband, who had never had such a dish before, thought it was delicious. We regretted making dinner reservations for later that night otherwise we would've ordered more right on the spot. Even better was the fact that the space was super cozy with fun vintage Japanese decorations, with low noise levels - future date night material for sure. Can't wait to come back and try the okonomiyaki too!

Today is Saturday, I've come for lunch, drawn here by the positive reviews and the creative sushi rolls. Upon reviewing the menu I found all the rolls I wanted to order. Unfortunately the menu in the restaurant says that the specialty rolls can only be ordered at night and not during the day, why? I asked for an exception was told no, despite the fact that the only order the chef was working on would be mine. Second, I decided to choose something from the 'nouveauties' menu, then was told that the items were unavailable. Leaving only the standard sushi choices that every other damn sushi restaurant in France sells. I've decided to take the cheapest item on the menu as I'm hungry and need energy.

We took the "samurai" boat for two, which includes sushi, maki, sashimi, and 4 skewers! As well as a miso soup and cabbage salad as the entree, and the customary bowl of rice. Their fish was very fresh and tasted amazing. Especially their dorade and great scallop sashimis. Except for the cheese one, which was somewhat mediocre, the skewers were all very tasteful and juicy. The miso soup and cabbage salad weren't anything extraordinary, but I enjoyed them nonetheless. We took three desserts, and I especially recommend their "coco pearls". It's two little balls of egg yolk stuffed glutinous rice paste covered in coconut. It's one of their (if not the) cheapest dessert on their menu, but still blows their more expensive desserts out of the water. The place itself is quiet, and although not high class, it has a nice atmosphere to it. All in all, it's very high quality for a very fair price.
